We need to guard the usage of symbols related to the
GLX_INTEL_swap_event extension, to avoid breaking on platforms and/or
versions of Mesa that do not expose that extension.
It's generally useful to be able to query the width and height of a
framebuffer and we expect to need this in Clutter when we move the
eglnative backend code into Cogl since Clutter will need to read back
the fixed size of the framebuffer when realizing the stage.
This backend hasn't been used for years now and so because it is
untested code and almost certainly doesn't work any more it would be a
burdon to continue trying to maintain it. Considering that we are now
looking at moving OpenGL window system integration code down from
Clutter backends into Cogl that will be easier if we don't have to
consider this backend.
This adds an autogen.sh, configure.ac and build/autotool files etc under
clutter/cogl and makes some corresponding Makefile.am changes that make
it possible to build and install Cogl as a standalone library.
Some notable things about this are:
A standalone installation of Cogl installs 3 pkg-config files;
cogl-1.0.pc, cogl-gl-1.0.pc and cogl-2.0.pc. The second is only for
compatibility with what clutter installed though I'm not sure that
anything uses it so maybe we could remove it. cogl-1.0.pc is what
Clutter would use if it were updated to build against a standalone cogl
library. cogl-2.0.pc is what you would use if you were writing a
standalone Cogl application.
A standalone installation results in two libraries currently, libcogl.so
and libcogl-pango.so. Notably we don't include a major number in the
sonames because libcogl supports two major API versions; 1.x as used by
Clutter and the experimental 2.x API for standalone applications.
Parallel installation of later versions e.g. 3.x and beyond will be
supportable either with new sonames or if we can maintain ABI then we'll
continue to share libcogl.so.
The headers are similarly not installed into a directory with a major
version number since the same headers are shared to export the 1.x and
2.x APIs (The only difference is that cogl-2.0.pc ensures that
-DCOGL_ENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_2_0_API is used). Parallel installation of
later versions is not precluded though since we can either continue
sharing or later add a major version suffix.
This migrates all the GLX window system code down from the Clutter
backend code into a Cogl winsys. Moving OpenGL window system binding
code down from Clutter into Cogl is the biggest blocker to having Cogl
become a standalone 3D graphics library, so this is an important step in
that direction.
As part of the process of splitting Cogl out as a standalone graphics
API we need to introduce some API concepts that will allow us to
initialize a new CoglContext when Clutter isn't there to handle that for
us...
The new objects roughly in the order that they are (optionally) involved
in constructing a context are: CoglRenderer, CoglOnscreenTemplate,
CoglSwapChain and CoglDisplay.
Conceptually a CoglRenderer represents a means for rendering. Cogl
supports rendering via OpenGL or OpenGL ES 1/2.0 and those APIs are
accessed through a number of different windowing APIs such as GLX, EGL,
SDL or WGL and more. Potentially in the future Cogl could render using
D3D or even by using libdrm and directly banging the hardware. All these
choices are wrapped up in the configuration of a CoglRenderer.
Conceptually a CoglDisplay represents a display pipeline for a renderer.
Although Cogl doesn't aim to provide a detailed abstraction of display
hardware, on some platforms we can give control over multiple display
planes (On TV platforms for instance video content may be on one plane
and 3D would be on another so a CoglDisplay lets you select the plane
up-front.)
Another aspect of CoglDisplay is that it lets us negotiate a display
pipeline that best supports the type of CoglOnscreen framebuffers we are
planning to create. For instance if you want transparent CoglOnscreen
framebuffers then we have to be sure the display pipeline wont discard
the alpha component of your framebuffers. Or if you want to use
double/tripple buffering that requires support from the display
pipeline.
CoglOnscreenTemplate and CoglSwapChain are how we describe our default
CoglOnscreen framebuffer configuration which can affect the
configuration of the display pipeline.
The default/simple way we expect most CoglContexts to be constructed
will be via something like:
if (!cogl_context_new (NULL, &error))
g_error ("Failed to construct a CoglContext: %s", error->message);
Where that NULL is for an optional "display" parameter and NULL says to
Cogl "please just try to do something sensible".
If you want some more control though you can manually construct a
CoglDisplay something like:
display = cogl_display_new (NULL, NULL);
cogl_gdl_display_set_plane (display, plane);
if (!cogl_display_setup (display, &error))
g_error ("Failed to setup a CoglDisplay: %s", error->message);
And in a similar fashion to cogl_context_new() you can optionally pass
a NULL "renderer" and/or a NULL "onscreen template" so Cogl will try to
just do something sensible.
If you need to change the CoglOnscreen defaults you can provide a
template something like:
chain = cogl_swap_chain_new ();
cogl_swap_chain_set_has_alpha (chain, TRUE);
cogl_swap_chain_set_length (chain, 3);
onscreen_template = cogl_onscreen_template_new (chain);
cogl_onscreen_template_set_pixel_format (onscreen_template,
COGL_PIXEL_FORMAT_RGB565);
display = cogl_display_new (NULL, onscreen_template);
if (!cogl_display_setup (display, &error))
g_error ("Failed to setup a CoglDisplay: %s", error->message);
This tries to make the naming style of files under cogl/winsys/
consistent with other cogl source files. In particular private header
files didn't have a '-private' infix.
This gives us a way to clearly track the internal Cogl API that Clutter
depends on. The aim is to split Cogl out from Clutter into a standalone
3D graphics API and eventually we want to get rid of any private
interfaces for Clutter so its useful to have a handle on that task.
Actually it's not as bad as I was expecting though.
This renames the two internal functions _cogl_get_draw/read_buffer
as cogl_get_draw_framebuffer and _cogl_get_read_framebuffer. The
former is now also exposed as experimental API.
The long term goal with the Cogl API is that we will get rid of the
default global context. As a step towards this, this patch tracks a
reference back to the context in each CoglFramebuffer so in a lot of
cases we can avoid using the _COGL_GET_CONTEXT macro.
There is no corresponding implementation of _cogl_features_init any more
so it was simply an oversight that the prototype wasn't removed when the
implementation was removed.
Recently _cogl_swap_buffers_notify was added (in 142b229c5c) so that
Cogl would be notified when Clutter performs a swap buffers request for
a given onscreen framebuffer. It was expected this would be required for
the recent cogl_read_pixel optimization that was implemented (ref
1bdb0e6e98) but in the end it wasn't used.
Since it wasn't used in the end this patch removes the API.
This moves the functionality of _cogl_create_context_driver from
driver/{gl,gles}/cogl-context-driver-{gl,gles}.c into
driver/{gl,gles}/cogl-{gl,gles}.c as a static function called
initialize_context_driver.
cogl-context-driver-{gl,gles}.[ch] have now been removed.
This adds a new experimental function (you need to define
COGL_ENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_API to access it) which takes us towards being
able to have a standalone Cogl API. This is really a minor aesthetic
change for now since all the GL context creation code still lives in
Clutter but it's a step forward none the less.
Since our current designs introduce a CoglDisplay object as something
that would be passed to the context constructor this provides a stub
cogl-display.h with CoglDisplay typedef.
_cogl_context_get_default() which Clutter uses to access the Cogl
context has been modified to use cogl_context_new() to initialize
the default context.
There is one rather nasty hack used in this patch which is that the
implementation of cogl_context_new() has to forcibly make the allocated
context become the default context because currently all the code in
Cogl assumes it can access the context using _COGL_GET_CONTEXT including
code used to initialize the context.
In 047227fb cogl_atlas_new was changed so that it can take a flags
parameter to specify whether to clear the new atlases and whether to
copy images to the new atlas after reorganisation. This was done so
that the atlas code could be shared with the glyph cache. At some
point during the development of this patch the flag was just a single
boolean instead and this is accidentally how it is used from the glyph
cache. The glyph cache therefore passes 'TRUE' as the set of flags
which means it will only get the 'clear' flag and not the
'disable-migration' flag. When the glyph cache gets full it will
therefore try to copy the texture to the new atlas as well as
redrawing them with cairo. This causes problems because the glyph
cache needs to work in situations where there is no FBO support.
In _cogl_pipeline_prune_empty_layer_difference if the layer's parent
has no owner then it just takes ownership of it. However this could
theoretically end up taking ownership of the root layer because
according to the comment above in the same function that should never
have an owner. This patch just adds an extra check to ensure that the
unowned layer has a parent.
http://bugzilla.clutter-project.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2588
In _cogl_pipeline_prune_empty_layer_difference if we are reverting to
the immediate parent of an empty/redundant layer then it is not enough
to simply add a reference to the pipeline's ->layer_differences list
without also updating parent_layer->owner to point back to its new
owner.
This oversight was leading us to break the invariable that all layers
referenced in layer_differences have an owner and was also causing us to
break another invariable whereby after calling
_cogl_pipeline_layer_pre_change_notify the returned layer must always be
owned by the given 'required_owner'.
http://bugzilla.clutter-project.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2588
glib already has a data type to manage a list of callbacks called a
GHookList so we might as well use it instead of maintaining Cogl's own
type. The glib version may be slightly more efficient because it
avoids using a GList and instead encodes the prev and next pointers
directly in the GHook structure. It also has more features than
CoglCallbackList.
Previously we were applying the culling optimization to any actor
painted without considering that we may be painting to an offscreen
framebuffer where the stage clip isn't applicable.
For now we simply expose a getter for the current draw framebuffer
and we can assume that a return value of NULL corresponds to the
stage.
Note: This will need to be updated as stages start to be backed by real
CoglFramebuffer objects and so we won't get NULL in those cases.
Drawing and clipping to paths is generally quite expensive because the
geometry has to be tessellated into triangles in a single VBO which
breaks up the journal batching. If we can detect when the path
contains just a single rectangle then we can instead divert to calling
cogl_rectangle which will take advantage of the journal, or by pushing
a rectangle clip which usually ends up just using the scissor.
This patch adds a boolean to each path to mark when it is a
rectangle. It gets cleared whenever a node is added or gets set to
TRUE whenever cogl2_path_rectangle is called. This doesn't try to
catch cases where a rectangle is composed by cogl_path_line_to and
cogl_path_move_to commands.
In 9ff04e8a99 the builtin uniforms were moved to the common shader
boilerplate. However the common boilerplate is positioned before the
default precision specifier on GLES2 so it would fail to compile
because the uniforms end up with no precision in the fragment
shader. This patch just moves the precision specifier to above the
common boilerplate.
Instead of unconditionally combining the modelview and projection
matrices and then iterating each of the vertices to call
cogl_matrix_transform_point for each one in turn we now only combine the
matrices if there are more than 4 vertices (with less than 4 vertices
its less work to transform them separately) and we use the new
cogl_vertex_{transform,project}_points APIs which can hopefully
vectorize the transformations.
Finally the perspective divide and viewport scale is done in a separate
loop at the end and we don't do the spurious perspective divide and
viewport scale for the z component.
This adds two new experimental functions to cogl-matrix.c:
cogl_matrix_view_2d_in_perspective and cogl_matrix_view_2d_in_frustum
which can be used to setup a view transform that maps a 2D coordinate
system (0,0) top left and (width,height) bottom right to the current
viewport.
Toolkits such as Clutter that want to mix 2D and 3D drawing can use
these APIs to position a 2D coordinate system at an arbitrary depth
inside a 3D perspective projected viewing frustum.
OpenGL < 4.0 only supports integer based viewports and internally we
have a mixture of code using floats and integers for viewports. This
patch switches all viewports throughout clutter and cogl to be
represented using floats considering that in the future we may want to
take advantage of floating point viewports with modern hardware/drivers.
This makes a change to the original point_in_poly algorithm from:
http://www.ecse.rpi.edu/Homepages/wrf/Research/Short_Notes/pnpoly.html
The aim was to tune the test so that tests against screen aligned
rectangles are more resilient to some in-precision in how we transformed
that rectangle into screen coordinates. In particular gnome-shell was
finding that for some stage sizes then row 0 of the stage would become a
dead zone when going through the software picking fast-path and this was
because the y position of screen aligned rectangles could end up as
something like 0.00024 and the way the algorithm works it doesn't have
any epsilon/fuz factor to consider that in-precision.
We've avoided introducing an epsilon factor to the comparisons since we
feel there's a risk of changing some semantics in ways that might not be
desirable. One of those is that if you transform two polygons which
share an edge and test a point close to that edge then this algorithm
will currently give a positive result for only one polygon.
Another concern is the way this algorithm resolves the corner case where
the horizontal ray being cast to count edge crossings may cross directly
through a vertex. The solution is based on the "idea of Simulation of
Simplicity" and "pretends to shift the ray infinitesimally down so that
it either clearly intersects, or clearly doesn't touch". I'm not
familiar with the idea myself so I expect a misplaced epsilon is likely
to break that aspect of the algorithm.
The simple solution this patch applies is to pixel align the polygon
vertices which should eradicate most noise due to in-precision.

When using a pipeline and the journal to blit images between
framebuffers, it should disable blending. Otherwise it will end up
blending the source texture with uninitialised garbage in the
destination texture.
If an atlas texture's last reference is held by the journal or by the
last flushed pipeline then if an atlas migration is started it can
cause a crash. This is because the atlas migration will cause a
journal flush and can sometimes change the current pipeline which
means that the texture would be destroyed during migration.
This patch adds an extra 'post_reorganize' callback to the existing
'reorganize' callback (which is now renamed to 'pre_reorganize'). The
pre_reorganize callback is now called before the atlas grabs a list of
the current textures instead of after so that it doesn't matter if the
journal flush destroys some of those textures. The pre_reorganize
callback for CoglAtlasTexture grabs a reference to all of the textures
so that they can not be destroyed when the migration changes the
pipeline. In the post_reorganize callback the reference is removed
again.

When Cogl debugging is disabled then the 'waste' variable is not used
so it throws a compiler warning. This patch removes the variable and
the value is calculated directly as the parameter to COGL_NOTE.
Some code was doing pointer arithmetic on the return value from
cogl_buffer_map which is void* pointer. This is a GCC extension so we
should try to avoid it. This patch adds casts to guint8* where
appropriate.
Based on a patch by Fan, Chun-wei.

Instead of directly banging GL to migrate textures the atlas now uses
the CoglFramebuffer API. It will use one of four approaches; it can
set up two FBOs and use _cogl_blit_framebuffer to copy between them;
it can use a single target fbo and then render the source texture to
the FBO using a Cogl draw call; it can use a single FBO and call
glCopyTexSubImage2D; or it can fallback to reading all of the texture
data back to system memory and uploading it again with a sub texture
update.
Previously GL calls were used directly because Cogl wasn't able to
create a framebuffer without a stencil and depth buffer. However there
is now an internal version of cogl_offscreen_new_to_texture which
takes a set of flags to disable the two buffers.
The code for blitting has now been moved into a separate file called
cogl-blit.c because it has become quite long and it may be useful
outside of the atlas at some point.
The 4 different methods have a fixed order of preference which is:
* Texture render between two FBOs
* glBlitFramebuffer
* glCopyTexSubImage2D
* glGetTexImage + glTexSubImage2D
Once a method is succesfully used it is tried first for all subsequent
blits. The default default can be overridden by setting the
environment variable COGL_ATLAS_DEFAULT_BLIT_MODE to one of the
following values:
* texture-render
* framebuffer
* copy-tex-sub-image
* get-tex-data
This adds a declaration for _cogl_is_texture_2d to the private header
so that it can be used in cogl-blit.c to determine if the target
texture is a simple 2D texture.
This adds a function called _cogl_texture_2d_copy_from_framebuffer
which is a simple wrapper around glCopyTexSubImage2D. It is currently
specific to the texture 2D backend.
This adds the _cogl_blit_framebuffer internal function which is a
wrapper around glBlitFramebuffer. The API is changed from the GL
version of the function to reflect the limitations provided by the
GL_ANGLE_framebuffer_blit extension (eg, no scaling or mirroring).
This extension is the GLES equivalent of the GL_EXT_framebuffer_blit
extension except that it has some extra restrictions. We need to check
for some extension that provides glBlitFramebuffer so that we can
unconditionally use ctx->drv.pf_glBlitFramebuffer in both GL and GLES
code. Even with the restrictions, the extension provides enough
features for what Cogl needs.
Previously when _cogl_atlas_texture_migrate_out_of_atlas is called it
would unreference the atlas texture's sub-texture before calling
_cogl_atlas_copy_rectangle. This would leave the atlas texture in an
inconsistent state during the copy. This doesn't normally matter but
if the copy ends up doing a render then the atlas texture may end up
being referenced. In particular it would cause problems if the texture
is left in a texture unit because then Cogl may try to call
get_gl_texture even though the texture isn't actually being used for
rendering. To fix this the sub texture is now unrefed after the copy
call instead.
The current framebuffer is now internally separated so that there can
be a different draw and read buffer. This is required to use the
GL_EXT_framebuffer_blit extension. The current draw and read buffers
are stored as a pair in a single stack so that pushing the draw and
read buffer is done simultaneously with the new
_cogl_push_framebuffers internal function. Calling
cogl_pop_framebuffer will restore both the draw and read buffer to the
previous state. The public cogl_push_framebuffer function is layered
on top of the new function so that it just pushes the same buffer for
both drawing and reading.
When flushing the framebuffer state, the cogl_framebuffer_flush_state
function now tackes a pointer to both the draw and the read
buffer. Anywhere that was just flushing the state for the current
framebuffer with _cogl_get_framebuffer now needs to call both
_cogl_get_draw_buffer and _cogl_get_read_buffer.
When pushing a framebuffer it would previously push
COGL_INVALID_HANDLE to the top of the framebuffer stack so that when
it later calls cogl_set_framebuffer it will recognise that the
framebuffer is different and replace the top with the new
pointer. This isn't ideal because it breaks the code to flush the
journal because _cogl_framebuffer_flush_journal is called with the
value of the old pointer which is NULL. That function was checking for
a NULL pointer so it wouldn't actually flush. It also would mean that
if you pushed the same framebuffer twice we would end up dirtying
state unnecessarily. To fix this cogl_push_framebuffer now pushes a
reference to the current framebuffer instead.
After a dependent framebuffer is added to a framebuffer it was never
getting removed. Once the journal for a framebuffer is flushed we no
longer depend on any framebuffers so the list should be cleared. This
was causing leaks of offscreens and textures.
This adds a note to clarify that cogl_matrix_multiply allows you to
multiply the @a matrix in-place, so @a can equal @result but @b can't
equal @result.
When uploading the layer matrix to GL it wasn't first calling
glActiveTextureMatrix to set the right texture unit for the
layer. This would end up setting the texture matrix on whatever layer
happened to be previously active. This happened to work for
test-cogl-multitexture presumably because it was coincidentally
setting the layer matrix on the last used layer.
The pipeline private data is accessed both from the private data set
on a CoglPipeline and the destroy notify function of a weak material
that the vertex buffer creates when it needs to override the wrap
mode. However when a CoglPipeline is destroyed, the CoglObject code
first removes all of the private data set on the object and then the
CoglPipeline code gets invoked to destroy all of the weak children. At
this point the vertex buffer's weak override destroy notify function
will get invoked and try to use the private data which has already
been freed causing a crash.
This patch instead adds a reference count to the pipeline private data
stuct so that we can avoid freeing it until both the private data on
the pipeline has been destroyed and all of the weak materials are
destroyed.
