CoglIndices define a range of indices inside a CoglIndexArray. I.e. a
CoglIndexArray is simply a buffer of N bytes and you can then
instantiate multiple CoglIndices collections that define a sub-region of
a CoglIndexArray by specifying a start offset and an index data type.
This adds a new CoglVertexArray object which is a subclass of CoglBuffer
used to hold vertex attributes. A later commit will add a
CoglVertexAttribute API which will be used to describe the attributes
inside a CoglVertexArray.
A CoglIndexArray is a subclass of CoglBuffer and will be used to hold
vertex indices. A later commit will add a CoglIndices API which will
allow describing a range of indices inside a CoglIndexArray.
This adds an internal mechanism to mark that a buffer is in-use so that
a warning can be generated if the user attempts to modify the buffer.
The plans is for the journal to use this mechanism so that we can warn
users about mid-scene modifications of buffers.
We now make _cogl_buffer_bind return a base pointer for the bound buffer
which can be used with OpenGL. The pointer will be NULL for GPU based
buffers or may point to an malloc'd buffer. Since OpenGL expects an
offset instead of a pointer when dealing with buffer objects this means
we can handle fallback malloc buffers and GPU buffers in a consistent
way.
This allows _cogl_material_flush_gl_state to bail out faster if
repeatedly asked to flush the same material and we can see the material
hasn't changed.
Since we can rely on the material age incrementing when any material
property changes or any associated layer property changes then we can
track the age of the material after flushing so it can be compared with
the age of the material if it is subsequently re-flushed. If the age is
the same we only have to re-assert the texture object state.
MaterialNodes are used for the sparse graph of material state and layer
state. In the case of materials there is the idea of weak materials that
don't take a reference on their parent and in that case we need to be
careful not to unref our parent during
_cogl_material_node_unparent_real. This adds a has_parent_reference
member to the CoglMaterialNode struct so we now know when to skip the
unref.
If there is private data associated with a CoglObject then there may be
a user_data_array that needs to be freed. The code was mistakenly
freeing the array inside the loop that was actually iterating over the
user data array notifying the objects destruction instead of waiting
until all the data entries had been destroyed.
This merges the two implementations of CoglProgram for the GLES2 and
GL backends into one. The implementation is more like the GLES2
version which would track the uniform values and delay sending them to
GL. CoglProgram is now effectively just a GList of CoglShaders along
with an array of stored uniform values. CoglProgram never actually
creates a GL program, instead this is left up to the GLSL material
backend. This is necessary on GLES2 where we may need to relink the
user's program with different generated shaders depending on the other
emulated fixed function state. It will also be necessary in the future
GLSL backends for regular OpenGL. The GLSL and ARBfp material backends
are now the ones that create and link the GL program from the list of
shaders. The linked program is attached to the private material state
so that it can be reused if the CoglProgram is used again with the
same material. This does mean the program will get relinked if the
shader is used with multiple materials. This will be particularly bad
if the legacy cogl_program_use function is used because that
effectively always makes one-shot materials. This problem will
hopefully be alleviated if we make a hash table with a cache of
generated programs. The cogl program would then need to become part of
the hash lookup.
Each CoglProgram now has an age counter which is incremented every
time a shader is added. This is used by the material backends to
detect when we need to create a new GL program for the user program.
The internal _cogl_use_program function now takes a GL program handle
rather than a CoglProgram. It no longer needs any special differences
for GLES2. The GLES2 wrapper function now also uses this function to
bind its generated shaders.
The ARBfp shaders no longer store a copy of the program source but
instead just directly create a program object when cogl_shader_source
is called. This avoids having to reupload the source if the same
shader is used in multiple materials.
There are currently a few gross hacks to get the GLES2 backend to work
with this. The problem is that the GLSL material backend is now
generating a complete GL program but the GLES2 wrapper still needs to
add its fixed function emulation shaders if the program doesn't
provide either a vertex or fragment shader. There is a new function in
the GLES2 wrapper called _cogl_gles2_use_program which replaces the
previous cogl_program_use implementation. It extracts the GL shaders
from the GL program object and creates a new GL program containing all
of the shaders plus its fixed function emulation. This new program is
returned to the GLSL material backend so that it can still flush the
custom uniforms using it. The user_program is attached to the GLES2
settings struct as before but its stored using a GL program handle
rather than a CoglProgram pointer. This hack will go away once the
GLSL material backend replaces the GLES2 wrapper by generating the
code itself.
Under Mesa this currently generates some GL errors when glClear is
called in test-cogl-shader-glsl. I think this is due to a bug in Mesa
however. When the user program on the material is changed the GLSL
backend gets notified and deletes the GL program that it linked from
the user shaders. The program will still be bound in GL
however. Leaving a deleted shader bound exposes a bug in Mesa's
glClear implementation. More details are here:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31194
Previously cogl_set_source_color and cogl_set_source_texture modified
a single global material. If an application then mixes using
cogl_set_source_color and texture then the material will constantly
need a new ARBfp program because the numbers of layers alternates
between 0 and 1. This patch just adds a second global material that is
only used for cogl_set_source_texture. I think it would still end up
flushing the journal if cogl_set_source_texture is used with multiple
different textures but at least it should avoid a recompile unless the
texture target also changes. It might be nice to somehow attach a
material to the CoglTexture for use with cogl_set_source_texture but
it would be difficult to implement this without creating a circular
reference.
This moves the CoglIndicesType and CoglVerticesMode typedefs from
cogl-vertex-buffer.h to cogl-types.h so they can be shared with the
anticipated cogl vertex attribute API.
This renames the BufferBindTarget + BufferUsageHint enums to match the
anticipated new APIs for "index arrays" and "vertex arrays" as opposed
to using the terms "vertices" or "indices".
previously we would silently bail out if the given offset + data size
would overflow the buffer size. Now we use g_return_val_if_fail so we
get a warning if we hit this case.
This adds a store_created bit field to CoglBuffer so we know if the
underlying buffer has been allocated yet. Previously the code was trying
to do something really wrong by accidentally using the
COGL_PIXEL_ARRAY_FLAG_IS_SET macro (note "PIXEL_ARRAY") and what is more
odd was the declaration of a CoglPixelArray *pixel_array in
cogl-buffer.c which the buffer was being cast too before calling using
the macro. Probably this was the fall-out of some previous code
re-factoring.
All the macros get used for are to |= (a new flag bit), &= ~(a flag bit)
or use the & operator to test if a flag bit is set. I haven't found the
code more readable with these macros, but several times now I've felt
the need to double check if these macros do anything else behind the
hood or I've forgotten what flags are available so I've had to go to the
macro definition to see what the full enum names are for the flags (the
macros use symbol concatenation) so I can search for the definition of
all the flags. It turns out they are defined next to the macro so you
don't have to search far, but without the macro that wouldn't have been
necessary.
The more common use of the _IS_SET macro is actually more concise
expanded and imho since it doesn't hide anything in a separate header
file the code is more readable without the macro.
This is a counter part for _cogl_material_layer_get_texture which takes
a layer index instead of a direct CoglMaterialLayer pointer. The aim is
to phase out code that directly iterates the internal layer pointers of
a material since the layer pointers can change if any property of any
layer is changed making direct layer pointers very fragile.
This adds internal _cogl_material_get_layer_filters and
_cogl_material_get_layer_{min,mag}_filter functions which can be used to
query the filters associated with a layer using a layer_index, as
opposed to a layer pointer. Accessing layer pointers is considered
deprecated so we need to provide layer_index based replacements.
When we come to submitting the users given attributes we sort them into
different types of buffers. Previously we had three types; strided,
unstrided and multi-pack. Really though unstrided was just a limited
form of multi-pack buffer and didn't imply any hind of special
optimization so this patch consolidates some code by reducing to just
two types; strided and multi-pack.
This is a counter part for _cogl_material_layer_pre_paint which takes a
layer index instead of a direct CoglMaterialLayer pointer. The aim is to
phase out code that directly iterates the internal layer pointers of a
material since the layer pointers can change if any property of any
layer is changed making direct layer pointers very fragile.
This exposes the idea of a stack of source materials instead of just
having a single current material. This allows the writing of orthogonal
code that can change the current source material and restore it to its
previous state. It also allows the implementation of new composite
primitives that may want to validate the current source material and
possibly make override changes in a derived material.
When compiling for non-glx platforms the winsys feature data array
ends up empty. Empty arrays cause problems for MSVC so this patch adds
a stub entry so that the array always has at least one entry.
Based on a patch by Ole André Vadla Ravnås
Instead of directly manipulating GL textures itself,
CoglTexture2DSliced now works in terms of CoglHandles. It creates the
texture slices using cogl_texture_new_with_size which should always
end up creating a CoglTexture2D because the size should fit. This
allows us to avoid replicating some code such as the first pixel
mipmap tracking and it better enforces the separation that each
texture backend is the only place that contains code dealing with each
texture target.
This adds two new internal functions to create a foreign texture for
the texture 2d and rectangle backends. cogl_texture_new_from_foreign
will now use one of these backends directly if there is no waste
instead of always using the sliced texture backend.
When picking a size for the last slice in a texture, Cogl would always
pick the biggest power of two size that doesn't create too much
waste and is less than or equal to the previous slice size. However
this can end up creating a texture that is bigger than needed if there
is a smaller power of two.
For example, if the maximum waste is 127 (the current default) and we
try to create a texture that is 257 pixels wide it will decide that
the next power of two (512) is too much waste (255) so it will create
the first slice at 256 pixels wide. Then we only have 1 pixel left to
allocate but Cogl would pick the next smaller size that has a small
enough waste which is 128. But of course 1 is already a power of two
so that's redundantly oversized by 127.
This patch fixes it so that whenever it finds a size that would be big
enough, instead of using exactly that it picks the next power of two
up from the size we need to fill.

There are ordering issues in the pixmap destruction with current and
past X11 server, Mesa and dri2. Under some circumstances, an X pixmap
might be destroyed with the GLX pixmap still referencing it, and thus
the X server will decide to destroy the GLX pixmap as well; then, when
Cogl tries to destroy the GLX pixmap, it gets BadDrawable errors.
Clutter 1.2 used to trap + sync all calls to glXDestroyPixmap(), but
then we assumed that the ordering issue had been solved. So, we're back
to square 1.
I left a Big Fat Comment™ right above the glXDestroyPixmap() call
referencing the bug and the reasoning behind the trap, so that we don't
go and remove it in the future without checking that the issue has been
in fact solved.
http://bugzilla.clutter-project.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2324
When using the debug function _cogl_debug_dump_materials_dot_file to
write a dot file representing the sparse graph of material state we now
only show a link between materials and layers when the material directly
owns that layer reference (i.e. just those referenced in
material->layer_differences) This makes it possible to see when
ancestors of a material are being deferred too for layer state.
For example when looking at the graph if you see that a material has an
n_layers of 3 but there is only a link to 2 layers, then you know you
need to look at it's ancestors to find the last layer.
Both of the cogl_texture_2d_sliced_new functions called the
slices_create function which creates the underlying GL
textures. However this was also called by init_base so the textures
would end up being created twice. This would make it leak the GL
textures and the arrays which point to them.
Clutter has now taken responsibility for managing its viewport,
projection matrix and view transform as part of ClutterStage so
_cogl_setup_viewport is no longer used by anything, and since it's quite
an obscure API anyway it's we've taken the opportunity to remove the
function.
*** WARNING: THIS COMMIT CHANGES THE BUILD ***
Do not recurse into the backend directories to build private, internal
libraries.
We only recurse from clutter/ into the cogl sub-directory; from there,
we don't recurse any further. All the backend-specific code in Cogl and
Clutter is compiled conditionally depending on the macros defined by the
configure script.
We still recurse from the top-level directory into doc, clutter and
tests, because gtk-doc and tests do not deal nicely with non-recursive
layouts.
This change makes Clutter compile slightly faster, and cleans up the
build system, especially when dealing with introspection data.
Ideally, we also want to make Cogl part of the top-level build, so that
we can finally drop the sed trick to change the shared library from the
GIR before compiling it.
Currently disabled:
‣ OSX backend
‣ Fruity backend
Currently enabled but untested:
‣ EGL backend
‣ Windows backend
Each time a material property changes we look to see if any of its
ancestry has become redundant and if so we prune that redundant
ancestry.
There was a problem with the logic that handles this though because we
weren't considering that a material which is a layer state authority may
still defer to ancestors to define the state of individual layers.
For example a material that derives from a parent with 5 layers can
become a STATE_LAYERS authority by simply changing it's ->n_layers count
to 4 and in that case it can still defer to its ancestors to define the
state of those 4 layers.
This patch checks first if a material is a layer state authority and if
so only tries to prune its ancestry if it also *owns* all the individual
layers it depends on. (I.e. if g_list_length
(material->layer_differences) != material->n_layers then it's not safe
to try pruning its ancestry!)

If COGL_OBJECT_DEBUG is defined then cogl-object-private.h will call
COGL_NOTE in the ref and unref macros. For this to work the debug
header needs to also be included or COGL_NOTE won't necessarily be
defined.
cogl_util_next_p2 is declared in cogl-util.h which is a private header
so it shouldn't be possible for an application to use it. It's
probably not a function we'd like to export from Cogl so it seems
better to keep it private. This patch renames it to _cogl_util_next_p2
so that it won't be exported from the shared library.
The documentation for the function is also slightly wrong because it
stated that the function returned the next power greater than
'a'. However the code would actually return 'a' if it's already a
power of two. I think the actual behaviour is more useful so this
patch changes the documentation rather than the code.
Previously CoglVertexBuffer would always set the flush options flags
to at least contain COGL_MATERIAL_FLUSH_FALLBACK_MASK. The code then
later checks whether any flags are set before deciding whether to copy
the material to implement the overrides. This means that it would
always end up copying the material even if there are no fallback
layers. This patch changes it so that it only sets
COGL_MATERIAL_FLUSH_FALLBACK_MASK if fallback_layers != 0.
If a single arbfp program is being shared between multiple CoglMaterials
then we need to make sure we update all program.local params when
switching between materials. Previously we had a dirty flag to track
when combine_constant params were changed but didn't take in to account
that different materials sharing the same program may have different
combine constants.
Previously the backend private state was used to either link to an
authority material or provide authoritative program state. The mechanism
seemed overly complex and felt very fragile. I made a recent comment
which added a lot of documentation to make it easier to understand but
still it didn't feel very elegant.
This patch takes a slightly different approach; we now have a
ref-counted ArbfpProgramState object which encapsulates a single ARBfp
program and the backend private state now just has a single member which
is a pointer to one of these arbfp_program_state objects. We no longer
need to cache pointers to our arbfp-authority and so we can get rid of
a lot of awkward code that ensured these pointers were
updated/invalidated at the right times. The program state objects are
not tightly bound to a material so it will also allow us to later
implement a cache mechanism that lets us share state outside a materials
ancestry. This may help to optimize code not following the
recommendations of deriving materials from templates, avoiding one-shot
materials and not repeatedly modifying materials because even if a
material's ancestry doesn't naturally lead us to shareable state we can
fallback to searching for shareable state using central hash tables.
This adds a way to iterate the layer indices of the given material since
cogl_material_get_layers has been deprecated. The user provides a
callback to be called once for each layer.
Because modification of layers in the callback may potentially
invalidate any number of the internal CoglMaterialLayer structures and
invalidate the material's layer cache this should be more robust than
cogl_material_get_layers() which used to return a const GList *
pointing directly to internal state.
This fixes the material backends to declare their constant vtable in the
c file with a corresponding extern declaration in the header. This
should fix complaints about duplicate symbols seen on OSX.
Instead of lazily incorporating combine constants as arbfp PARAM
constants in the source directly we now use program.local parameters
instead so we can avoid repeating codegen if a material's combine
constant is updated. This should be a big win for applications animating
a constant used for example in an animated interpolation, such as
gnome-shell.
http://bugzilla.clutter-project.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2280
This makes it so we don't consider LAYER_STATE_TEXTURE changes to affect
the arbfp code. This should avoid a lot of unneeded passes of
code generation for applications modifying the texture for a layer.
This makes it so we only notify backends of either a single material
change or a single layer change. Previously all material STATE_LAYERS
changes would be followed by a more detailed layer change.
For backends that perform code generation for fragment processing they
typically need to understand the details of how layers get changed to
determine if they need to repeat codegen. It doesn't help them to report
a material STATE_LAYERS change for all layer changes since it's so
broad, they really need to wait for the layer change to be notified.
What does help though is to report a STATE_LAYERS change for a change in
material->n_layers because they typically do need to repeat codegen in
that case.
This fixes a number of issues relating to how we track the arbfp private
state associated with CoglMaterials. At the same time it adds much more
extensive code documentation to try and make it a bit more approachable.
When notifying a backend about a layer being modified we now pass the
layers current owner for reference. NB: Although a layer can indirectly
be referenced by multiple layers, a layer is considered immutable once
it has dependants, so there is only ever one material associated with a
layer being modified. Passing the material pointer to the backends
layer_pre_change callback can be useful for backends that associate
their private state with materials and may need to update that state in
response to layer changes.
This renames the get_arbfp_authority function to
get_arbfp_authority_no_check to clarify that the function doesn't
validate that the authority cache is still valid by looking at the age
of the referenced material. The function should only be used when we
*know* the cache has already been checked.
We now pass a boolean to _cogl_material_pre_change_notify to know when
a material change is as a result of a layer change. We plan to use this
information to avoid notifying the backends about material changes if
they are as a result of layer changes. This will simplify the handling
of state changes in the backends because they can assume that layer and
material changes are mutually exclusive.
This adds an internal _cogl_material_get_layer_combine_constant function
so we can query the current layer combine constant back. We should
probably make this a public property getter, but for now we just need
this so we can read the constant in the arbfp backend.
We are going to start tracking more per-texture unit state with arbfp
private state so this adds an internal UnitState type and we allocate an
array of these when setting up a new private state structure. The first
thing that has been moved into this is the sampled boolean to know when
a particular texture unit gets sampled from in the generated arbfp code.
This avoids the use of of gcc constructor and destructor attributes to
initialize the cogl uprof context and optionally print a cogl uprof
report at app exit. We now initialize the uprof context in
cogl_context_create instead.
When building with --enable-profile we now depend on the uprof-0.3
developer release which brings a few improvements:
» It lets us "fix" how we initialize uprof so that instead of using a shared
object constructor/destructor (which was a hack used when first adding
uprof support to Clutter) we can now initialize as part of clutter's
normal initialization code. As a side note though, I found that the way
Clutter initializes has some quite serious problems whenever it
involves GOptionGroups. It is not able to guarantee the initialization
of dependencies like uprof and Cogl. For this reason we still use the
contructor/destructor approach to initialize uprof in Cogl.
» uprof-0.3 provides a better API for adding custom columns when reporting
timer and counter statistics which lets us remove quite a lot of manual
report generation code in clutter-profile.c.
» uprof-0.3 provides a shared context for tracking mainloop timer
statistics. This means any mainloop based library following the same
"Mainloop" timer naming convention can use the shared context and no
matter who ends up owning the final mainloop the statistics will always
be in the same place. This allows profiling of Clutter with an
external mainloop such as with the Mutter compositor.
» uprof-0.3 can export statistics over dbus and comes with an ncurses
based ui to vizualize timer and counter stats live.
The latest version of uprof can be cloned from:

When try_creating_fbo fails it deletes any intermediate render buffers
that were created. However it doesn't clear the list so I think if it
failed a second time it would try to delete the render buffers
again. This could potentially cause problems if a subsequent fbo is
created because the destructor for the original might delete the
renderbuffers of the new fbo.
Let's try to keep Cogl's build as non-recursive as possible, in the hope
that one day we'll be able to make it fully non-recursive along with the
rest of Clutter.
Flushing the framebuffer state can cause some drawing to occur if the
framebuffer has a clip stack which needs the stencil buffer. This was
causing the array pointers set up by enable_state_for_drawing_buffer
to get mangled so it would crash when it hits glDrawArrays. This patch
moves the framebuffer state flush to before it sets up the array
pointers.

Intel CE3100 and CE4100 SoCs are designed for TVs. They have separate
framebuffers that are blended together by a piece of hardware to make
the final output. The library that allows you to initialize and
configure those planes is called GDL. A EGL GDL winsys can then be
use with those planes as NativeWindowType to select which plane to use.
This patch adds a new ClutterBackendCex100 backend that can be
selected at compile time with the new --with-flavour=cex100 option.
Some minor fixes here and there: missing include, wrongly placed #endif,
unused variable warning fixes, missing #ifdef.
Make ClutterStageEGL a subclass of either ClutterStageX11 or GObject
depending if you compile with X11 support (EGLX) or not (native).
Weak materials are ones that don't take a reference on their parent and
they are associated with a callback that notifies when the material is
destroyed, because its parent was freed or modified.

For now the concept is internal only but the plan is to make this public
at some point once we have tested the design internally.
In the case where there is no error log for arbfp we were returning a
"" string literal. The other paths were using g_strdup to return a
string that could be freed with g_free. This makes the arbfp path return
g_strdup ("") instead.
There are quite a few if {} else {} blocks for dealing with arbfp else
glsl and the first block is guarded with #ifdef HAVE_COGL_GL. In this
case though the #endif was before the else so it wouldn't compile for
gles.
We need to include cogl-shader-private.h to have the
COGL_SHADER_TYPE_GLSL define. When building for opengl this wasn't
noticed probably because some other header indirectly includes this
file. It was a problem when building for gles2 though.
Instead of exposing an API that provides an OpenGL state machine style
where you first have to bind the program to the context using
cogl_program_use() followed by updating uniforms using
cogl_program_uniform_xyz we now have uniform setter methods that take an
explicit CoglHandle for the program.
This deprecates cogl_program_use and all the cogl_program_uniform
variants and provides the following replacements:
cogl_program_set_uniform_1i
cogl_program_set_uniform_1f
cogl_program_set_uniform_int
cogl_program_set_uniform_float
cogl_program_set_uniform_matrix
--quiet has been added to g-ir-scanner in the 0.9.1 cycle. We really
want to be able to compile clutter with 0.6.14 to be able to reuse
gir files that are distributed in current distributions.
Use the INTROSPECTION_SCANNER_ARGS (previously unused) variable to
convey --quiet when necessary.

CoglAtlas chooses a fairly large default initial size of either
512x512 or 1024x1024 depending on the texture format. There is a
chance that this size will not be supported on some platforms which
would be catastrophic for the glyph cache because it would mean that
it would always fail to put any glyphs in the cache so text wouldn't
work. To fix this the atlas code now checks whether the chosen initial
size is supported by the texture driver and if not it will get halved
until it is supported.
Previously when creating a new rectangle map it would try increasingly
larger texture sizes until GL_MAX_TEXTURE_SIZE is reached. This is bad
because it queries state which should really be owned by the texture
driver. Also GL_MAX_TEXTURE_SIZE is often a conservative estimate so
larger texture sizes can be used if the proxy texture is queried
instead.
Previously each node in the rectangle map tree would store the total
remaining space in all of its children to use as an optimization when
adding nodes. With this it could skip an entire branch of the tree if
it knew there could never be enough space for the new node in the
branch. This modifies that slightly to instead store the largest
single gap. This allows it to skip a branch earlier because often
there would be a lot of small gaps which would add up to enough a
space for the new rectangle, but the space can't be used unless it is
in a single node.
The rectangle map still needs to keep track of the total remaining
space for the whole map for the debugging output so this has been
added back in to the CoglRectangleMap struct. There is a separate
debugging function to verify this value.
Previously when the atlas needs to be migrated it would start by
trying with the same size as the existing atlas if there is enough
space for the new texture. However even if the atlas is completely
sorted there will always be some amount of waste so when the atlas
needs to grow it would usually end up redundantly trying the same size
when it is very unlikely to fit. This patch changes it so that there
must be at least 6% waste available after the new texture is added
otherwise it will start with the next atlas size.
When iterating over the rectangle map a stack is used to implement a
recursive algorithm. Previously this was slice allocating a linked
list. Now it uses a GArray which is retained with the rectangle map to
avoid frequent allocations which is a little bit faster.
Previously the remaining space was managed as part of the
CoglRectangleMap struct. Now it is stored per node so that at any
point in the hierarchy we can quickly determine how much space is
remaining in all of the node's children. That way when adding a
rectangle we can miss out entire branches more quickly if we know that
there is no way the new rectangle would fit in that branch.
This also adds a function to recursively verify the cached state in
the nodes such as the remaining space and the number of
rectangles. This function is only called when the dump-atlas-image
debug flag is set because it is potentially quite slow.
_cogl_atlas_new now has two extra parameters to specify the format of
the textures it creates as well as a set of flags to modify the
behavious of the atlas. One of the flags causes the new textures to be
cleared and the other causes migration to avoid actually copying the
textures. This is needed to use CoglAtlas from the pango glyph cache
because it needs to use COGL_PIXEL_A_8 and to clear the textures as it
does not fill in the gaps between glyphs. It needs to avoid copying
the textures so that it can work on GL implementations without FBO
support.
Instead of storing a pointer to the CoglRectangleMap and a handle to
the atlas texture in the context, there is a now a separate data
structure called a CoglAtlas to manage these two. The context just
contains a pointer to this. The code to reorganise the atlas has been
moved from cogl-atlas-texture.c to cogl-atlas.c
This adds an internal CoglCallbackList type which is just a GSList of
of function pointers along with a data pointer to form a
closure. There are functions to add and remove items and to invoke the
list of functions. This could be used in a number of places in Cogl.
This simply renames CoglAtlas to CoglRectangleMap without making any
functional changes. The old 'CoglAtlas' is just a data structure for
managing unused areas of a rectangle and it doesn't neccessarily have
to be used for an atlas so it wasn't a very good name.
Textures within a layer were compared for equality by comparing their
texture handle. However this means that sub textures and atlas
textures which may be internally using the same GL handle would not be
batched together. Instead it now tries to determine the underlying GL
handle using either the slice override or _cogl_texture_get_gl_texture
and then compares those.
When filtering on allowed formats for atlas textures, it now masks out
the BGR and AFIRST bits in addition to the premult bit. That way it
will accept RGB and RGBA formats in any component order.
In theory it could also accept luminance and alpha-only textures but I
haven't added this because presumably if the application has requested
these formats then it has some reason not to use a full RGB or RGBA
texture and we should respect that.
The special handling for texture unit 1 caught the case where unit
1 was changed for transient purposes, but didn't properly handle
the case where the actual non-transient texture was different between
two materials with no transient binding in between.
If the actual texture has changed when flushing, mark unit 1 as dirty
and needing a rebind.

This makes CoglProgram/Shader automatically detect when the user has
given an ARBfp program by checking for "!!ARBfp1.0" at the beginning of
the user's source.
ARBfp local parameters can be set with cogl_program_uniform_float
assuming you pass a @size of 4 (all ARBfp program.local parameters
are vectors of 4 floats).
This doesn't expose ARBfp environment parameters or double precision
local parameters.
Previously we had an internal only _cogl_material_set_user_program to
redirect legacy usage of cogl_program_use() through CoglMaterial. This
instead makes the API public because until we implement our planned
"snippet" framework we need a stop-gap solution for using shaders in
Cogl.
The plan is to also support ARBfp with the cogl_program/shader API so
this API will also allow clutter-gst to stop using direct OpenGL calls
that conflict with Cogl's state tracking.
A change to a layer is also going to be a change to its owning material
so we have to chain up in _cogl_material_layer_pre_change_notify and
call _cogl_material_pre_change_notify. Previously we were only
considering if the owning material was referenced in the journal but
that ignores that it might also have dependants. We no longer need to
flush the journal directly in layer_pre_change_notify.
In _cogl_material_layer_pre_change_notify when we see that a layer has
dependants and it can't be modified directly then we allocate a new
layer. In this case we also have to link the new layer to its required
owner. If the immutable layer we copied had the same owner though we
weren't unlinking that old layer.
In _cogl_material_pre_change_notify we need to identify if it's a sparse
property being changed and if so initialize the state group if the given
material isn't currently the authority for it.
Previously we were unconditionally calling
_cogl_material_initialize_state which would e.g. NULL the layer
differences list of a material each time a layer change was notified.
It would also call _cogl_material_initialize_state for non-sparse
properties which should always be valid at this point so the function
has been renamed to _cogl_material_initialize_sparse_state to make this
clearer with a corresponding g_return_if_fail check.
This fixes how we copy layer differences in
_cogl_material_copy_layer_differences.
We were making a redundant g_list_copy of the src differences and then
iterating the src list calling _cogl_material_add_layer_difference for
each entry which would double the list length, but the initial copy
directly referenced the original layers which wasn't correct.
Also we were initializing dest->n_layers before copying the layer
differences but the act of copying the differences will re-initialize
n_layers to 0 when adding the first layer_difference since it will
trigger a layer_pre_change_notify and since the dest material isn't yet
a STATE_LAYERS authority the state group is initialized before allowing
the change.
In _cogl_material_texture_storage_change_notify we were potentially
dereferencing layer->texture without checking first that it is the
authority of texture state. We now use
_cogl_material_layer_get_texture() instead.
This improve the dot file output available when calling
_cogl_debug_dump_materials_dot_file. The material graph now directly
points into the layer graph and the layers now show the texture unit
index.
When the texture is set on a layer so that it is back to the parent's
texture it would clear the texture change flag but it wouldn't unref
the texture. The free function for a material layer does not unref the
texture if the change flag is cleared so the texture would end up
leaking. This happens for ClutterTexture because it disposes the
texture by setting layer 0 of the material to COGL_INVALID_HANDLE
which ends up the same as the default material.
In _cogl_material_layer_pre_paint we were mistakenly dereferencing the
layer->texture member for the passed layer instead of dereferencing the
texture state authority which was causing crashes in some cases.
This makes the gles2 cogl_program_use consistent with the GL version by
not binding the program immediately and instead leaving it to
cogl-material.c to bind the program when actually drawing something.
Previously custom uniforms were tracked in _CoglGles2Wrapper but as part
of a process to consolidate the gl/gles2 shader code it seems to make
sense for this state to be tracked in the CoglProgram object instead.
http://bugzilla.o-hand.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2179
Instead of having to query GL and translate the GL enum into a
CoglShaderType each time cogl_shader_get_type is called we now keep
track of the type in CoglShader.
Nothing was storing the shader type when a shader was created so it
would get confused about whether it was a custom vertex or fragment
shader.
Also the 'type' member of CoglShader was a GLenum but the only place
that read it was treating it as if it was CoglShaderType. This changes
it be CoglShaderType.
When loading an RGB image GdkPixbuf will pad the rowstride so that the
beginning of each row is aligned to 4 bytes. This was causing us to
fallback to the code that copies the buffer. It is probably safe to
avoid copying the buffer if we can detect that the rowstride is simply
an alignment of the packed rowstride.
This also changes the copying fallback code so that it uses the
aligned rowstride. However it is now extremely unlikely that the
fallback code would ever be used.
In commit b780413e5a the GdkPixbuf loading code was changed so that
if it needs to copy the pixbuf then it would tightly pack it. However
it was still using the rowstride from the pixbuf so the image would
end up skewed. This fixes it to use the real rowstride.
http://bugzilla.clutter-project.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2235
In OpenGL the 'shininess' lighting parameter is floating point value
limited to the range 0.0→128.0. This number is used to affect the size
of the specular highlight. Cogl materials used to only accept a number
between 0.0 and 1.0 which then gets multiplied by 128.0 before sending
to GL. I think the assumption was that this is just a weird GL quirk
so we don't expose it. However the value is used as an exponent to
raise the attenuation to a power so there is no conceptual limit to
the value.
This removes the mapping and changes some of the documentation.
http://bugzilla.clutter-project.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2222
When flushing a fixed-function or arbfp material it would always call
disable_glsl to try to get rid of the previous GLSL shader. This is
needed even if current_use_program_type is not GLSL because if an
application calls cogl_program_uniform then Cogl will have to bind the
program to set the uniform. If this happens then it won't update
current_use_program_type presumably because the enabled state of arbfp
is still valid.
The problem was that disable_glsl would only select program zero when
the current_use_program_type is set to GLSL which wouldn't be the case
if cogl_program_uniform was called. This patch changes it to just
directly call _cogl_gl_use_program_wrapper(0) instead of having a
separate disable_glsl function. The current program is cached in the
cogl context anyway so it shouldn't cause any extra unnecessary GL
calls.
http://bugzilla.clutter-project.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2232
g_ascii_dtostr was being used in four separate arguments to
g_string_append_printf but all invocations of it were using the same
buffer. This would end up with all of the arguments having the same
value which would depend on whichever order the compiler evaluates
them in. This patches changes it to use a multi-dimensional array and
a loop to fill in the separate buffers.
http://bugzilla.clutter-project.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2219
The ARBfp programs are created with a printf() wrapper, which usually
fails in non-en locales as soon as you start throwing things like
floating point values in the mix.
We should use the g_ascii_dtostr() function which places a double into a
string buffer in a locale-independent way.
http://bugzilla.clutter-project.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2219
This function creates a CoglBitmap which internally references a
CoglBuffer. The map and unmap functions will divert to mapping the
buffer. There are also now bind and unbind functions which should be
used instead of map and unmap whenever the data doesn't need to be
read from the CPU but will instead be passed to GL for packing or
unpacking. For bitmaps created from buffers this just binds the
bitmap.
cogl_texture_new_from_buffer now just uses this function to wrap the
buffer in a bitmap rather than trying to bind the buffer
immediately. This means that the buffer will be bound only at the
point right before the texture data is uploaded.
This approach means that using a pixel array will take the fastest
upload route if possible, but can still fallback to copying the data
by mapping the buffer if some conversion is needed. Previously it
would just crash in this case because the texture functions were all
passed a NULL pointer.
http://bugzilla.clutter-project.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2112
The docs for GdkPixbuf say that the last row of the image won't
necessarily be allocated to the size of the full rowstride. The rest
of Cogl and possibly GL assumes that we can copy the bitmap with
memcpy(height*rowstride) so we previously would copy the pixbuf data
to ensure this. However if the rowstride is the same as bpp*width then
there is no way for the last row to be under-allocated so in this case
we can just directly upload from the gdk pixbuf. Now that CoglBitmap
can be created with a destroy function we can make it keep a reference
to the pixbuf and unref it during its destroy callback. GdkPixbuf
seems to always pack the image with no padding between rows even if it
is RGB so this should end up always avoiding the memcpy.
The fallback code for when we do have to copy the pixbuf is now
simplified so that it copies all of the rows in a single loop. We only
copy the useful region of each row so this should be safe. The
rowstride of the CoglBitmap is now always allocated to bpp*width
regardless of the rowstride of the pixbuf.
The CoglBitmap struct is now only defined within cogl-bitmap.c so that
all of its members can now only be accessed with accessor
functions. To get to the data pointer for the bitmap image you must
first call _cogl_bitmap_map and later call _cogl_bitmap_unmap. The map
function takes the same arguments as cogl_pixel_array_map so that
eventually we can make a bitmap optionally internally divert to a
pixel array.
There is a _cogl_bitmap_new_from_data function which constructs a new
bitmap object and takes ownership of the data pointer. The function
gets passed a destroy callback which gets called when the bitmap is
freed. This is similar to how gdk_pixbuf_new_from_data
works. Alternatively NULL can be passed for the destroy function which
means that the caller will manage the life of the pointer (but must
guarantee that it stays alive at least until the bitmap is
freed). This mechanism is used instead of the old approach of creating
a CoglBitmap struct on the stack and manually filling in the
members. It could also later be used to create a CoglBitmap that owns
a GdkPixbuf ref so that we don't necessarily have to copy the
GdkPixbuf data when converting to a bitmap.
There is also _cogl_bitmap_new_shared. This creates a bitmap using a
reference to another CoglBitmap for the data. This is a bit of a hack
but it is needed by the atlas texture backend which wants to divert
the set_region virtual to another texture but it needs to override the
format of the bitmap to ignore the premult flag.
The 'format' member of CoglTexture2DSliced is returned by
cogl_texture_get_format. All of the other backends return the internal
format of the GL texture in this case. However the sliced backend was
returning the format of the image data used to create the texture. It
doesn't make any sense to retain this information because it doesn't
necessarily indicate the format of the actual texture. This patch
changes it to store the internal format instead.
In ddb9016be4 the GL texture driver backend was changed to include
cogl-material-opengl-private.h instead of cogl-material-private.h.
However the gles texture backend was missed from this so it was giving
a compiler warning about using an undeclared function.
glTexSubImage3D was being called directly in cogl-texture-3d.c but the
function is only available since GL version 1.2 so on Windows it won't
be possible to directly link to it. Also under GLES it is only
available conditionally in an extension.
In ddb9016be4 the texture backends were changed to include
cogl-material-opengl-private.h instead of cogl-material-private.h.
However the 3D texture backend was missed from this so it was giving a
compiler warning about using an undeclared function.
This moves the code supporting _cogl_material_flush_gl_state into
cogl-material-opengl.c as part of an effort to reduce the size of
cogl-material.c to keep it manageable.
In general cogl-material.c has become far to large to manage in one
source file. As one of the ways to try and break it down this patch
starts to move some of lower level texture unit state management out
into cogl-material-opengl.c. The naming is such because the plan is to
follow up and migrate the very GL specific state flushing code into the
same file.
When the support for redirecting the legacy fog state through cogl
material was added in 9b9e764dc, the code to handle copying the fog
state in _cogl_material_copy_differences was missed.
The CoglTexture2DSliced backend has a fallback for when the
framebuffer extension is missing so it's not possible to use
glGenerateMipmap. This involves keeping a copy of the upper-left pixel
of the tex image so that we can temporarily enable GL_GENERATE_MIPMAP
on the texture object and do a sub texture update by reuploading the
contents of the first pixel. This patch copies that mechanism to the
2D and 3D backends. The CoglTexturePixel structure which was
previously internal to the sliced backend has been moved to
cogl-texture-private.h so that it can be shared.
Using 'r' to name the third component is problematic because that is
commonly used to represent the red component of a vector representing
a color. Under GLSL this is awkward because the texture swizzling for
a vector uses a single letter for each component and the names for
colors, textures and positions are synonymous. GLSL works around this
by naming the components of the texture s, t, p and q. Cogl already
effectively already exposes this naming because it exposes GLSL so it
makes sense to use that naming consistently. Another alternative could
be u, v and w. This is what Blender and Direct3D use. However the w
component conflicts with the w component of a position vertex.
This adds a publicly exposed experimental API for a 3D texture
backend. There is a feature flag which can be checked for whether 3D
textures are supported. Although we require OpenGL 1.2 which has 3D
textures in core, GLES only provides them through an extension so the
feature can be used to detect that.
The textures can be created with one of two new API functions :-
cogl_texture_3d_new_with_size
and
cogl_texture_3d_new_from_data
There is also internally a new_from_bitmap function. new_from_data is
implemented in terms of this function.
The two constructors are effectively the only way to upload data to a
3D texture. It does not work to call glTexImage2D with the
GL_TEXTURE_3D target so the virtual for cogl_texture_set_region does
nothing. It would be possible to make cogl_texture_get_data do
something sensible like returning all of the images as a single long
image but this is not currently implemented and instead the virtual
just always fails. We may want to add API specific to the 3D texture
backend to get and set a sub region of the texture.
All of those three functions can throw a GError. This will happen if
the GPU does not support 3D textures or it does not support NPOTs and
an NPOT size is requested. It will also fail if the FBO extension is
not supported and the COGL_TEXTURE_NO_AUTO_MIPMAP flag is not
given. This could be avoided by copying the code for the
GL_GENERATE_MIPMAP TexParameter fallback, but in the interests of
keeping the code simple this is not yet done.
This adds a couple of functions to cogl-texture-driver for uploading
3D data and querying the 3D proxy
texture. prep_gl_for_pixels_upload_full now also takes sets the
GL_UNPACK_IMAGE_HEIGHT parameter so that 3D textures can have padding
between the images. Whenever 3D texture is uploading, both the height
of the images and the height of all of the data is specified (either
explicitly or implicilty from the CoglBitmap) so that the image height
can be deduced by dividing by the depth.
Under big GL, glext.h is included automatically by gl.h. However under
GLES this doesn't appear to happen so it has to be included explicitly
to get the defines for extensions. This patch changes the
clutter_gl_header to be called cogl_gl_headers and it can now take a
space seperated list of multiple headers. This is then later converted
to a list of #include lines which ends up cogl-defines.h. The gles2
and gles1 backends now add their respective ext header to this list.
There are many places in the texture backend that need to do
conversion using the CoglBitmap code. Currently none of these
functions can throw an error but they do return a value to indicate
failure. In future it would make sense if new texture functions could
throw an error and in that case they would want to use a CoglBitmap
error if the failure was due to the conversion. This moves the
internal CoglBitmap error from the quartz backend to be public in
cogl-bitmap.h so that it can be used in this way.
We can use this error in more unsupported situations than just when we
have a Cogl feature flag for the error. For example if a non-sliced
texture is created with dimensions that are too large then we could
throw this error. Therefore it seems good to rename to something more
general.
Previously when comparing whether the settings for a layer are equal
it would only check if one of them was enabled. If so then it would
assume the other one was enabled and continue to compare the texture
environment. Now it also checks whether the enabledness differs.
This adds a COGL_OBJECT_INTERNAL_DEFINE macro and friends that are the
same as COGL_OBJECT_DEFINE except that they prefix the cogl_is_*
function with an underscore so that it doesn't get exported in the
shared library.
Previously COGL_OBJECT_DEFINE would always define deprecated
cogl_$type_{ref,unref} functions even if the type is new or if the
type is entirely internal. An application would still find it
difficult to use these because they wouldn't be in the headers, but it
still looks bad that they are exported from the shared library. This
patch changes it so that the deprecated ref counting functions are
defined using a separate macro and only the types that have these
functions in the headers call this macro.
Since 365605cf42, materials and layers are represented in a tree
structure that allows traversing up through parents and iterating down
through children. This re-works the related typedefs and reparenting
code so that they can be shared.
Under big GL, _cogl_texture_driver_size_supported uses the proxy
texture to check whether the given texture size is supported. Proxy
textures aren't available under GLES so previously this would just
return TRUE to assume all texture sizes are supported. This patch
makes it use glGetIntegerv with GL_MAX_TEXTURE_SIZE to give a second
best guess.
This fixes the sliced texture backend so that it will use slices when
the texture is too big.
When an intermediate buffer is used for downloading texture data it
was using the wrong byte length for a row so the copy back to the
user's buffer would fail.
The fallback for when glGetTexImage is not available renders the
texture to the framebuffer to read the data using glReadPixels. This
patch just sets the COGL_MATERIAL_FILTER_NEAREST filter mode on the
material before rendering to avoid linear filtering which would alter
the texture data.
The fallback for when glGetTexImage is not available draws parts of
the texture to the framebuffer and uses glReadPixels to extract the
data. However it was using cogl_rectangle to draw and then immediately
using raw glReadPixels to fetch the data. This won't cause a journal
flush so the rectangle won't necessarily have hit the framebuffer
yet. Instead it now uses cogl_read_pixels which does flush the
journal.
There were a few problems flushing texture overrides so that sliced
textures would not work:
* In _cogl_material_set_layer_texture it ignored the 'overriden'
parameter and always set texture_overridden to FALSE.
* cogl_texture_get_gl_texture wasn't being called correctly in
override_layer_texture_cb. It returns a gboolean to indicate the
error status but this boolean was being assigned to gl_target.
* _cogl_material_layer_texture_equal did not take into account the
override.
* _cogl_material_layer_get_texture_info did not return the overridden
texture so it would always use the first texture slice.
There was a lot of common code that was copied to all of the backends
to convert the data to a suitable format and wrap it into a CoglBitmap
so that it can be passed to _cogl_texture_driver_upload_subregion_to_gl.
This patch moves the common code to cogl-texture.c so that the virtual
just takes a CoglBitmap that is already in the right format.
Previously cogl_texture_get_data would pretty much directly pass on to
the get_data texture virtual function. This ended up with a lot of
common code that was copied to all of the backends. For example, the
method is expected to return the required data size if the data
pointer is NULL and to calculate its own rowstride if the rowstride is
0. Also it needs to convert the downloaded data if GL can't support
that format directly.
This patch moves the common code to cogl-texture.c so the virtual is
always called with a format that can be downloaded directly by GL and
with a valid rowstride. If the download fails then the virtual can
return FALSE in which case cogl-texture will use the draw and read
fallback.
For point sprites you are usually drawing the whole texture so you
most often want GL_CLAMP_TO_EDGE. This patch removes the override for
COGL_MATERIAL_WRAP_MODE_AUTOMATIC when point sprites are enabled for a
layer so that it will clamp to edge.
This adds a new API call to enable point sprite coordinate generation
for a material layer:
void
cogl_material_set_layer_point_sprite_coords_enabled (CoglHandle material,
int layer_index,
gboolean enable);
There is also a corresponding get function.
Enabling point sprite coords simply sets the GL_COORD_REPLACE of the
GL_POINT_SPRITE glTexEnv when flusing the material. There is no
separate application control for glEnable(GL_POINT_SPRITE). Instead it
is left permanently enabled under the assumption that it has no affect
unless GL_COORD_REPLACE is enabled for a texture unit.
http://bugzilla.openedhand.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2047
Recently I added a _cogl_debug_dump_materials_dot_file function for
debugging the sparse material state. This extends the state dumped to
include the graph of layer state also.
We were mistakenly only initializing layer->layer_index for new layers
associated with texture units > 0. This had gone unnoticed because
normally layers associated with texture unit0 have a layer index of 0
too. Mutter was hitting this issue because it was initializing layer 1
before layer 0 for one of its materials so layer 1 was temporarily
associated with texture unit 0.

Previously cogl_set_fog would cause a flush of the Cogl journal and
would directly bang the GL state machine to setup fogging. As part of
the ongoing effort to track most state in CoglMaterial to support
renderlists this now adds an indirection so that cogl_set_fog now just
updates ctx->legacy_fog_state. The fogging state then gets enabled as a
legacy override similar to how the old depth testing API is handled.
Since we'll want to share the fallback logic with CoglVertexArray this
moves the malloc based fallback (for when OpenGL doesn't support vertex
or pixel buffer objects) into cogl-buffer.c.
Explicitly warn if we detect that a CoglBuffer is being freed while it
is still mapped. Previously we silently unmapped the buffer, but it's
not something we want to encourage.
This makes CoglBuffer track the last used bind target as a private
property. This is later used when binding a buffer to map instead of
always using the PIXEL_UNPACK target.
This also adds some additional sanity checks that code doesn't try to
nest binds to the same target or bind a buffer to multiple targets at
the same time.
This adds three new feature flags COGL_FEATURE_TEXTURE_NPOT_BASIC,
COGL_FEATURE_TEXTURE_NPOT_MIPMAP and COGL_FEATURE_TEXTURE_NPOT_REPEAT
that can tell you if your hardware supports non power of two textures,
npot textures + mipmaps and npot textures + wrap modes other than
CLAMP_TO_EDGE.
The pre-existing COGL_FEATURE_TEXTURE_NPOT feature implies all of the
above.
By default GLES 2 core supports npot textures but mipmaps and repeat
modes can only be used with power of two textures. This patch also makes
GLES check for the GL_OES_texture_npot extension to determine if mipmaps
and repeating are supported with npot textures.
glDisableVertexAttribArray was defined to glEnableVertexAttribArray so
it would probably cause crashes if it was ever used. Presumably
nothing is using these yet because the generic attributes are not yet
tied to shader attributes in a predictable way.
For testing purposes, either to identify bugs in Cogl or the driver or
simulate lack of PBO support COGL_DEBUG=disable-pbos can be used to
fallback to malloc instead.
This allows you to tell Cogl that you are planning to replace all the
buffer's data once it is mapped with cogl_buffer_map. This means if the
buffer is currently being accessed by the GPU then the driver doesn't
have to stall and wait for it to finish before it can access it from the
CPU and can instead potentially allocate a new buffer with undefined
data and map that.
This changes the cogl_is_XYZ function prototypes generated when using
the COGL_OBJECT_DEFINE macro to take a void * argument instead of a
CoglHandle argument.
This removes cogl_pixel_array_new which just took a size in bytes.
Without the image size and pixel format then the driver often doesn't
have enough information to allocate optimal GPU memory that can be
textured from directly. This is because GPUs often have ways to
spatially alter the layout of a texture to improve cache access patterns
which may require special alignment and padding dependant in the images
width, height and bpp.
Although currently we are limited by OpenGL because it doesn't let us
pass on the width and height when allocating a PBO, the hope is that we
can define a better extension at some point.
The usage hint should be implied by the CoglBuffer subclass type so the
public getter and setter APIs for manually changing the usage hint of a
CoglBuffer have now been removed.
Instead of having to extend cogl_is_buffer with new buffer types
manually this now adds a new COGL_BUFFER_DEFINE macro to be used instead
of COGL_OBJECT_DEFINE for CoglBuffer subclasses. This macro will
automatically register the new type with ctx->buffer_types which will
iterated by cogl_is_buffer. This is the same coding pattern used for
CoglTexture.
This adds a _cogl_debug_dump_materials_dot_file function that can be
used to dump all the descendants of the default material to a file using
the dot format which can then be converted to an image to visualize.
In _cogl_material_pre_change_notify if a material with descendants is
modified then we create a new material that is a copy of the one being
modified and reparent those descendants to the new material.
This patch ensures we drop the reference we get from cogl_material_copy
since we can rely on the descendants to keep the new material alive.
The commit to split the fragment processing backends out from
cogl-material.c (3e1323a636) broke the GLES 1 and 2 builds the
fix was to guard the code in each backend according to the
COGL_MATERIAL_BACKEND_XYZ defines which are setup in
cogl-material-private.h.
The documentation for cogl_vertex_buffer_indices_get_for_quads was
using ugly ASCII art to draw the diagrams. These have now been
replaced with PNG figures.
CoglMaterialWrapMode was missing from the cogl-sections.txt file so it
wasn't getting displayed. There were also no documented return values
from the getters.
The tesselator code uses some defines that it expects to be in the GL
headers such as GLAPI and GLAPIENTRY. These are used to mark the entry
points as exportable on each platform. We don't really want the
tesselator code to use these but we also don't want to modify the C
files so instead they are #defined to be empty in the stub glu.h. That
header is only included internally when building the tesselator/ files
so it shouldn't affect the rest of Cogl.
GLES also doesn't have a GLdouble type so we just #define this to be a
regular double.
cogl_material_copy was taking a reference on the original texture when
making a copy. However it then calls _cogl_material_set_parent on the
material which also takes a reference on the parent. The second
reference is cleaned up whenever _cogl_material_unparent is called and
this is also called by _cogl_material_free. However, it seems that
nothing was cleaning up the first reference. I think the reference is
entirely unnecessary so this patch removes it.
We had several different ways of exposing experimental API, in one case
the symbols had no special suffix, in two other ways the symbols were
given an _EXP suffix but in different ways.
This makes all experimental API have an _EXP suffix which is handled
using #defines in the header so the prototypes in the .c and .h files
don't have the suffix.
The documented reason for the suffix is so that anyone watching Cogl for
ABI changes who sees symbols disappear will hopefully understand what's
going on.
This grabs the latest code for libtess from git Mesa. This is mostly
so that we can get the following commit which fixes a lot of compiler
warnings in Clutter:
commit 75acb896c6da758d03e86f8725d6ca0cb2c6ad82

glu: Fix some compiler warnings in libtess
When compiled with the more aggressive compiler warnings such as
-Wshadow and -Wempty-body the libtess code gives a lot more
warnings. This fixes the following issues:
* The 'Swap' macro tries to combine multiple statements into one and
then consume the trailing semicolon by using if(1){/*...*/}else.
This gives warnings because the else part ends up with an empty
statement. It also seems a bit dangerous because if the semicolon
were missed then it would still be valid syntax but it would just
ignore the following statement. This patch replaces it with the more
common idiom do { /*...*/ } while(0).
* 'free' was being used as a local variable name but this shadows the
global function. This has been renamed to 'free_handle'
* TRUE and FALSE were being unconditionally defined. Although this
isn't currently a problem it seems better to guard them with #ifndef
because it's quite common for them to be defined in other headers.

As part of the ongoing effort to remove CoglHandle from the API this
switches the cogl_material API to use a strongly typed CoglMaterial
pointer instead of CoglHandle.
This splits the fragment processing backends (glsl, arbfp and fixed) out
from cogl-material.c into their own cogl-material-{glsl,arbfp,fixed}.c
files in an effort to help and keep cogl-material.c maintainable.
This adds two new API calls- cogl_path_set_fill_rule and
cogl_path_get_fill_rule. This allows modifying the fill rule of the
current path. In addition to the previous default fill rule of
'even-odd' it now supports the 'non-zero' rule. The fill rule is a
property of the path (not the Cogl context) so creating a new path or
preserving a path with cogl_path_get_handle affects the fill rule.
The scanline path rasterizer has been removed because the paths can be
drawn with the tesselator instead. The option therefore no longer does
anything.
Instead of drawing paths using the stencil buffer trick, it now
tesselates the path into triangles using the GLU tesselator and
renders them directly. A vbo is created with one vertex for each node
on the path. The tesselator is used to generate a series of indices
into the vbo as triangles. The tesselator's output of strips and fans
is converted into GL_TRIANGLES so that it can be rendered with a
single draw call (but the vertices are still shared via the
indices). The vbo is stored with the path so that if the application
uses retained paths then Cogl won't have to tessellate again.
The vertices also have texture coordinates associated with them so
that it can replicate the old behaviour of drawing a material with a
texture by fitting the texture to the bounding box of the path and
then clipping it. However if the texture contains waste or is sliced
then the vertex buffer code will refuse to draw it. In this case it
will revert back to drawing the path into the stencil buffer and then
drawing the material as a clipped quad.
The VBO is used even when setting up the stencil buffer for clipping
to a path because the tessellated geometry may cover less area.
The old scanline rasterizer has been removed because the tesselator
should work equally well on drivers with no stencil buffer.
This copies the files for the GLU tesselator from Mesa. The Mesa code
is based on the original SGI code and is released under a BSD license.
The memalloc.h header has been replaced with one that forces the code
to use g_malloc and friends. The rest of the files are not altered
from the original so it should be possible to later upgrade the files
by simply overwriting them.
There is a tesselator.h header which is expected to be included by
rest of Cogl to use the tesselator. This contains a trimmed down
version of glu.h that only includes parts that pertain to the
tesselator. There is also a stub glu.h in the GL directory which is
just provided so that the tesselator code can include <GL/gl.h>
without depending on the system header. It just redirects to
tesselator.h
Some of the arguments to the material and path functions were taking a
pointer to a CoglColor or an array of floats that was not intended to
be written to but were not marked with const.
in _cogl_material_prune_empty_layer_difference we sometimes unref the
given layer before dereferencing it to get a pointer to its parent. This
defers the unref until after we have fetched the parent pointer.
Commit 7fae8ac051 changed cogl-defines.h.in so there is only a
single copy in clutter/cogl/ instead of one for each driver. However
the old files were still mentioned in the EXTRA_DIST of the
Makefile.am so make distcheck was failing.
A pedantic change to get_fbconfig_for_depth() so that we don't need to
make any assumptions about the GLXFBConfig typedef or what values
we can overload to indicate an invalid config.
get_fbconfig_for_depth() now simply returns FALSE if it fails to find a
config.
This is a publicly exposed texture backend to create a texture which
contains the contents of an X11 pixmap. The API is currently marked as
experimental.
The backend internally holds a handle to another texture. All of the
backend virtuals simply redirect to the internal texture.
The texture can optionally be automatically updated if the
automatic_updates parameter is TRUE. If set then Cogl will listen for
damage events on the pixmap and update the texture accordingly.
Alternatively a damage object can be created externally and passed
down to Cogl.
The updates can be performed with XGetImage, XShmGetImage or the
GLX_EXT_texture_pixmap extension. If the TFP extension is used it will
optionally try to create a rectangle texture if the driver does not
support NPOTs or it is forced through the
COGL_PIXMAP_TEXTURE_RECTANGLE or CLUTTER_PIXMAP_TEXTURE_RECTANGLE
environment variables.
If the GLXFBConfig does not support mipmapping then it will fallback
to using X{Shm,}GetImage. It keeps a separate texture around for this
so that it can later start using the TFP texture again if the texture
is later drawn with mipmaps disabled.
This will be defined in cogl-defines.h whenever Cogl is built using a
winsys that supports X11. This implies CoglTexturePixmapX11 will be
available.
To make this work the two separate cogl-defines.h.in files have been
merged into one. The configure script now makes a @COGL_DEFINES@
substitution variable which contains the #define lines to put in
rather than directly having them in the seperate files.
This is similar to clutter_x11_{,un}trap_errors except that it stores
the previous trap state in a caller-allocated struct so that it can be
re-entrant.
Make _cogl_xlib_trap_errors re-entrant
(this will be squashed into an earlier commit)
The _cogl_texture_needs_premult_conversion function was already
checking whether the source format had an alpha channel before
returning TRUE, but it also doesn't make sense to do the premult
conversion if the destination format has no alpha. This patch adds
that check in too.
This adds the framework needed to check for winsys specific extensions
(such as GLX extensions) using a similar mechanism to the
cogl-feature-functions header. There is a separate
cogl-winsys-feature-functions header which will contain macros to list
the extensions and functions. cogl_create_context_winsys now calls
_cogl_feature_check for each of these functions. _cogl_feature_check
has had to be changed to accept the driver prefix as the first
parameter so that it can prepend "GLX" rather than "GL" in this case.
The Clutter X11 backend now passes all events through
_cogl_xlib_handle_event. This function can now internally be hooked
with _cogl_xlib_add_filter. These are added to a list of callbacks
which are all called in turn by _cogl_xlib_handle_event. This is
intended to be used internally in Cogl by any parts that need to see
Xlib events.
Cogl now also has an internally exposed function to set a pointer to
the Xlib display. This is stored in a global variable. The Clutter X11
backend sets this.
_cogl_xlib_handle_event and _cogl_xlib_set_display can be removed once
Cogl gains a proper window system abstraction.
This creates a separate struct to store the fields of the context that
are specific to the winsys. This is all stored in one file but ideally
this could work more like the CoglContextDriver struct and have a
different header for each winsys.
This adds an internal rectangle texture backend which is mostly based
on the CoglTexture2D backend. It will throw assert failures if any
operations are attempted that rectangle textures don't support, such
as mipmapping or hardware repeating.
Instead of the ensure_mipmaps virtual that is only called whenever the
texture is about to be rendered with a min filter that needs the
mipmap, there is now a pre_paint virtual that is always called when
the texture is about to be painted in any way. It has a flags
parameter which is used to specify whether the mipmap will be needed.
This is useful for CoglTexturePixmapX11 because it needs to do stuff
before painting that is unrelated to mipmapping.
Instead of having a hardcoded series of if-statements in
cogl_is_texture to determine which types should appear as texture
subclasses, they are now stored in a GSList attached to the Cogl
context. The list is amended to using a new cogl_texture_register_type
function. There is a convenience macro called COGL_TEXTURE_DEFINE
which uses COGL_HANDLE_DEFINE_WITH_CODE to register the texture type
when the _get_type() function is first called.
This macro is similar to COGL_HANDLE_DEFINE_WITH_CODE except that it
allows a snippet of code to be inserted into the _get_type()
function. This is similar to how G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_CODE
works. COGL_HANDLE_DEFINE is now just a wrapper around
COGL_HANDLE_DEFINE_WITH_CODE.
_cogl_texture_2d_externally_modified is a function specific to the
CoglTexture2D texture backend that should be called whenever the
contents of the texture are modified without the backend knowing about
it. It simply marks the mipmap tree as invalid.
The include path for the winsys and driver folder was given relative
to $(srcdir) so it would end up relative to the driver folder which is
wrong. It is now specified as $(srcdir)/../../winsys to get the right
location. The driver folder is removed because it is actually just
$(srcdir) and that is already included.
GLES2 doesn't provide user clip planes (you would have to use a vertex +
fragment shader to achieve the same kind of result) so we make sure not
to call glEnable/Disable with any of the GL_CLIP_PLANE0..3 defines.
http://bugzilla.o-hand.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2177
The function had a line like:
CoglMaterial *material =
material = _cogl_material_pointer_from_handle (material_handle);
where the duplicate "material =" wasn't intended, so this patch removes
it.
Under WGL, any functions that were defined after GL 1.1 are not
directly exported in the DLL so we need to reference them via the
function pointers. A new call to glActiveUnit was missed in
cogl-context.c
The window headers contain the line
#define near
so it's not possible to use the symbol 'near' in code that's portable
to Windows. This replaces it with 'near_val'.
I think the define is meant to improve compatibility with code written
for Windows 3.1 where near would be a keyword to make it a smaller
pointer size.
We don't need to generate a new ARBfp program for every material created
if we can find an ancestor whos state will result in the same program
being generated.
The more code we can have adopt the coding pattern of deriving their
materials from other similar materials using cogl_material_copy() the
more likely this metric will be good enough on its own to minimize the
set of arbfp programs necessary to support a given application.
Previously in _cogl_material_pre_change_notify we manually freed the
layer caches of a material if we caused a reparent, but it makes more
sense to have _cogl_material_set_parent do this directly instead.
This adds a _cogl_material_weak_copy() function that can be used to
create materials that don't count as strong dependants on their parents.
This means the parent can be modified without worrying about how it will
affect weak materials. The material age of the parent can potentially be
queried to determine if a weak material might need to be re-created.
When we add support for weak materials it's expected that Clutter will
want to attach them as private data to other materials and it needs a
mechanism to determine when a weak material should be re-created because
its parent has changed somehow.
This adds the concept of a material age (internal only currently) which
increments whenever a material is modified. Clutter can then save the
age of the material which its weak materials are derived from and later
determine when the weak material may be invalid.
In _cogl_texture_quad_multiple_primitives we weren't memsetting the
CoglMaterialWrapModeOverrides structure we were memsetting
&state.wrap_mode_overrides where state.wrap_mode_overrides is just a
pointer that might potentially later point to the
CoglMaterialWrapModeOverrides structure.
In _cogl_material_equal we were repeating the same code pattern to
compare several of the state groups so this just adds
simple_property_equal function that's now used instead.
This redirects the legacy depth testing APIs through CoglMaterial and
adds a new experimental cogl_material_ API for handling the depth
testing state.
This adds the following new functions:
cogl_material_set_depth_test_enabled
cogl_material_get_depth_test_enabled
cogl_material_set_depth_writing_enabled
cogl_material_get_depth_writing_enabled
cogl_material_set_depth_test_function
cogl_material_get_depth_test_function
cogl_material_set_depth_range
cogl_material_get_depth_range
As with other experimental Cogl API you need to define
COGL_ENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_API to access them and their stability isn't
yet guaranteed.
cogl_ortho is one of those APIs whos style was, for better or worse,
copied from OpenGL and for some inexplicable reason the near and far
arguments are inconsistent with the left, right, top, bottom arguments
because they don't take z coordinates they take a "distance" which
should be negative for a plane behind the viewer.
This updates the documentation to explain this.
The internal CoglMaterialLayer pointers associated with a material may
change whenever layer properties are modified so it's no longer ok to
assume that a list of layers returned by cogl_material_get_layers
remains valid if the layers have been changed.
Since it can sometimes be awkward to figure out where a particular
material came from when debugging, this adds a breadcrumb mechanism that
lets you associate a const string with a material that may give a clue
about its origin.
As a follow on to using cogl_material_copy instead of flush options this
patch now removes the ability to pass flush options to
_cogl_material_equal which is the final reference to the
CoglMaterialFlushOptions mechanism.
Since cogl_material_copy should now be cheap to use we can simplify
how we handle fallbacks and wrap mode overrides etc by simply copying
the original material and making our override changes on the new
material. This avoids the need for a sideband state structure that has
been growing in size and makes flushing material state more complex.
Note the plan is to eventually use weak materials for these override
materials and attach these as private data to the original materials so
we aren't making so many one-shot materials.
This is a complete overhaul of the data structures used to manage
CoglMaterial state.
We have these requirements that were aiming to meet:
(Note: the references to "renderlists" correspond to the effort to
support scenegraph level shuffling of Clutter actor primitives so we can
minimize GPU state changes)
Sparse State:
We wanted a design that allows sparse descriptions of state so it scales
well as we make CoglMaterial responsible for more and more state. It
needs to scale well in terms of memory usage and the cost of operations
we need to apply to materials such as comparing, copying and flushing
their state. I.e. we would rather have these things scale by the number
of real changes a material represents not by how much overall state
CoglMaterial becomes responsible for.
Cheap Copies:
As we add support for renderlists in Clutter we will need to be able to
get an immutable handle for a given material's current state so that we
can retain a record of a primitive with its associated material without
worrying that changes to the original material will invalidate that
record.
No more flush override options:
We want to get rid of the flush overrides mechanism we currently use to
deal with texture fallbacks, wrap mode changes and to handle the use of
highlevel CoglTextures that need to be resolved into lowlevel textures
before flushing the material state.
The flush options structure has been expanding in size and the structure
is logged with every journal entry so it is not an approach that scales
well at all. It also makes flushing material state that much more
complex.
Weak Materials:
Again for renderlists we need a way to create materials derived from
other materials but without the strict requirement that modifications to
the original material wont affect the derived ("weak") material. The
only requirement is that its possible to later check if the original
material has been changed.
A summary of the new design:
A CoglMaterial now basically represents a diff against its parent.
Each material has a single parent and a mask of state that it changes.
Each group of state (such as the blending state) has an "authority"
which is found by walking up from a given material through its ancestors
checking the difference mask until a match for that group is found.
There is only one root node to the graph of all materials, which is the
default material first created when Cogl is being initialized.
All the groups of state are divided into two types, such that
infrequently changed state belongs in a separate "BigState" structure
that is only allocated and attached to a material when necessary.
CoglMaterialLayers are another sparse structure. Like CoglMaterials they
represent a diff against their parent and all the layers are part of
another graph with the "default_layer_0" layer being the root node that
Cogl creates during initialization.
Copying a material is now basically just a case of slice allocating a
CoglMaterial, setting the parent to be the source being copied and
zeroing the mask of changes.
Flush overrides should now be handled by simply relying on the cheapness
of copying a material and making changes to it. (This will be done in a
follow on commit)
Weak material support will be added in a follow on commit.
We were incorrectly guarding the use of GL_TEXTURE_RECTANGLE_ARB with
ifdef ARB_texture_rectangle instead of ifdef GL_ARB_texture_rectangle
which broke test-cogl-texture-rectangle.
This was mistakenly added some time ago because at some point when we
were discussing how to handle premultiplied alpha in Clutter/Cogl we
were considering having a magic "just do the right thing" option which
was later abandoned.
This is to try and improve API consistency. Simple cogl structures that
don't derive from CoglObject and which can be allocated on the stack,
such as CoglColor and CoglMatrix should all have "_init" or
"_init_from" functions to initialize all the structure members. (As
opposed to a cogl_xyz_new() function for CoglObjects). CoglColor
previously used the naming scheme "_set_from" for these initializers but
"_set" is typically reserved for setting individual properties of a
structure/object.
This adds three _init functions:
cogl_color_init_from_4ub
cogl_color_init_from_4f
cogl_color_init_from_4fv
The _set_from functions are now deprecated but only with a gtk-doc
annotation for now. This is because the cogl_color_set_from API is quite
widely used already and so were giving a grace period before enabling a
GCC deprecated warning just because otherwise the MX maintainers will
complain to me that I've made their build logs look messy.
The journal logs colors as 4bytes into a vertex array and since we are
planning to make CoglMaterial track its color using a CoglColor instead
of a byte array this convenience will be useful for re-implementing
_cogl_material_get_colorubv.
Some internal symbols used for the GLES 2 wrapper were accidentally
being exported. This prepends an underscore to them so they won't
appear in the shared library.
Whenever a path or a rectangle is added to the clip stack it now also
stores a screen space bounding box in the entry. Then when the clip
stack is flushed the bounding box is first used to set up the
scissor. That way when we eventually come to use the stencil buffer
the clear will be affected by the scissor so we don't have to clear
the entire buffer.
_cogl_path_get_bounds is no longer static and is exported in
cogl-path-private.h so that it can be used in the clip stack code. The
old version of the function returned x/y and width/height. However
this was mostly used to call cogl_rectangle which takes x1/y1
x2/y2. The function has been changed to just directly return the
second form because it is more useful. Anywhere that was previously
using the function now just directly looks at path->path_nodes_min and
path->path_nodes_max instead.
The transform_point function takes a modelview matrix, projection
matrix and a viewport and performs all three transformations on a
point to give a Cogl window coordinate. This is useful in a number of
places in Cogl so this patch moves it to cogl.c and adds it to
cogl-internal.h
For sliced 2D textures, _cogl_texture_2d_sliced_get_data() uses the
bitmap width, instead of the rowstride, when memcpy()ing into the
dest buffer.

We only had getters for the red, green, blue and alpha channels of a
color. This meant that, if you wanted to change, say, the alpha
component of a color, one would need to query the red, green and blue
channels and use set_from_4ub() or set_from_4f().
Instead of this, just provide some setters for CoglColor, using the same
naming scheme than the existing getters.
For some operations on pre-multiplied colors (say, replace the alpha
value), you need to unpremultiply the color.
This patch provides the counterpart to cogl_color_premultiply().
The place where we actually change the framebuffer is
_cogl_framebuffer_flush_state(), so if we changed to a new frame buffer
we need to initialize the color bits there.
http://bugzilla.openedhand.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2094
OpenGL 3.0 deprecated querying of the GL_{RED,GREEN,BLUE}_BITS
constants, and the FBO extension provides a mechanism to query for the
color buffer sizes which *should* work even with the default
framebuffer. Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to hold for Mesa - so we
just use this for the offscreen CoglFramebuffer type, and we fall back
to glGetIntegerv() for the onscreen one.
http://bugzilla.openedhand.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2094
This function had two problems. Firstly it would clear the enable
blend flag before calling pre_change_notify so that if blending was
previously enabled the journal would end up being flushed while the
flag was still cleared. Secondly it would call the pre change notify
whenever blending is needed regardless of whether it was already
needed previously.
This was causing problems in test-depth.
This adds a _cogl_bind_gl_texture_transient function that should be used
instead of glBindTexture so we can have a consistent cache of the
textures bound to each texture unit so we can avoid some redundant
binding.
As part of an effort to improve the architecture of CoglMaterial
internally this overhauls how we flush layer state to OpenGL by adding a
formal backend abstraction for fragment processing and further
formalizing the CoglTextureUnit abstraction.
There are three backends: "glsl", "arbfp" and "fixed". The fixed backend
uses the OpenGL fixed function APIs to setup the fragment processing,
the arbfp backend uses code generation to handle fragment processing
using an ARBfp program, and the GLSL backend is currently only there as
a formality to handle user programs associated with a material. (i.e.
the glsl backend doesn't yet support code generation)
The GLSL backend has highest precedence, then arbfp and finally the
fixed. If a backend can't support some particular CoglMaterial feature
then it will fallback to the next backend.
This adds three new COGL_DEBUG options:
* "disable-texturing" as expected should disable all texturing
* "disable-arbfp" always make the arbfp backend fallback
* "disable-glsl" always make the glsl backend fallback
* "show-source" show code generated by the arbfp/glsl backends
_cogl_atlas_texture_blit_begin binds a texture to use as the
destination and it expects it to stay bound until
_cogl_atlas_texture_end_blit is called. However there was a call to
_cogl_journal_flush directly after setting up the blit state which
could cause the wrong texture to be bound. This just moves the flush
to before the call to _cogl_atlas_texture_blit_begin.
This was breaking test-cogl-sub-texture.
1) Always flush when migrating textures out of an atlas because although
it's true that the original texture data will remain valid in the
original texture we can't assume that journal entries have resolved the
GL texture that will be used. This is only true if a layer0_override has
been used.
2) Don't flush at the point of creating a new atlas simply flush
immediately before reorganizing an atlas. This means we are now assuming
that we will never see recursion due to atlas textures being modified
during a journal flush. This means it's the responsibility of the
primitives code to _ensure_mipmaps for example not the responsibility of
_cogl_material_flush_gl_state.
We want to make sure that the material state flushing code will never
result in changes to the texture storage for that material. So for
example mipmaps need to be ensured by the primitives code.
Changes to the texture storage will invalidate the texture coordinates
in the journal and we want to avoid a recursion of journal flushing.
This adds a way to compare two CoglMatrix structures to see if they
represent the same transformations. memcmp can't be used because a
CoglMatrix contains private flags and padding.
THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS
Mesa is building a big shader when using ARB_texture_env_combine. The
idea is to bypass that computation, do it ourselves and cache the
compiled program in a CoglMaterial.
For now that feature can be enabled by setting the COGL_PIPELINE
environment variable to "arbfp". COGL_SHOW_FP_SOURCE can be set to a non
empty string to dump the fragment program source too.
TODO:
* fog (really easy, using OPTION)
* support tex env combiner operands, DOT3, ADD_SIGNED, INTERPOLATE
combine modes (need refactoring the generation of temporary
variables) (not too hard)
* alpha testing for GLES 2.0?
The Cogl context has now a feature_flags_private enum that will allow us
to query and use OpenGL features without exposing them in the public
API.
The ARB_fragment_program extension is the first user of those flags.
Looking for this extension only happens in the gl driver as the gles
drivers will not expose them.
One can use _cogl_features_available_private() to check for the
availability of such private features.
While at it, reindent cogl-internal.h as described in CODING_STYLE.
At two places in cogl_wrap_prepare_for_draw it was trying to loop over
the texture units to flush some state. However it was retrieving the
texture unit pointer using w->active_texture_unit instead of the loop
index so it would end up with the wrong state.
Also in glEnableClientState it was using the active unit instead of
the client active unit.
• 3 general fixes (typos, copy/paste),
• ignore cogl-object-private.h,
• cogl_fixed_atani() was in reality cogl_fixed_atan(), fixed in commit
43564f05.
• Fix the cogl-vector section: sections must have a </SECTION> tag at
the end. Also the cogl-vector section was added in the middle of the
cogl-buffer one. Let's shiffle it out and add that </SECTION> tag.
As with a351ff2af earlier, distributing headers generated at configure
time conflicts with out of tree builds as the distributed headers will
be included first instead of including the generated ones.
This provides a mechanism for associating private data with any
CoglObject. We expect Clutter will use this to associate weak materials

This replaces the use of CoglHandle with strongly type CoglClipStack *
pointers instead. The only function not converted for now is
cogl_is_clip_stack which will be done in a later commit.
This replaces the use of CoglHandle with strongly type CoglBitmap *
pointers instead. The only function not converted for now is
cogl_is_bitmap which will be done in a later commit.
This replaces the use of CoglHandle with strongly type CoglPath *
pointers instead. The only function not converted for now is
cogl_is_path which will be done in a later commit.
This patch makes it so that only the backwards compatibility
COGL_HANDLE_DEFINE macro defines a _cogl_xyz_handle_new function. The
new COGL_OBJECT_DEFINE macro only defines a _cogl_xyz_object_new
function.
It's valid C to declare a function omitting it prototype, but it seems
to be a good practise to always declare a function with its
corresponding prototype.
While this is totally fine (0 in the pointer context will be converted
in the right internal NULL representation, which could be a value with
some bits to 1), I believe it's clearer to use NULL in the pointer
context.
It seems that, in most case, it's more an overlook than a deliberate
choice to use FALSE/0 as NULL, eg. copying a _COGL_GET_CONTEXT (ctx, 0)
or a g_return_val_if_fail (cond, 0) from a function returning a
gboolean.
This replaces the use of CoglHandle with strongly type CoglBuffer *
pointers instead. The only function not converted for now is
cogl_is_buffer which will be done in a later commit.
CoglHandle is a common source of complaints and confusion because people
expect a "handle" to be some form of integer type with some indirection
to lookup the corresponding objects as opposed to a direct pointer.
This patch starts by renaming CoglHandle to CoglObject * and creating
corresponding cogl_object_ APIs to replace the cogl_handle ones.
The next step though is to remove all use of CoglHandle in the Cogl APIs
and replace with strongly typed pointer types such as CoglMaterial * or
CoglTexture * etc also all occurrences of COGL_INVALID_HANDLE can just
use NULL instead.
After this we will consider switching to GTypeInstance internally so we
can have inheritance for our types and hopefully improve how we handle
bindings.
Note all these changes will be done in a way that maintains the API and
ABI.
Since the default alpha test function of GL_ALWAYS is equivalent to
GL_ALPHA_TEST being disabled we don't need to worry about Enabling/Disabling
it when flushing material state, instead it's enough to leave it always
enabled. We will assume that any driver worth its salt wont incur any
additional cost for glEnable (GL_ALPHA_TEST) + GL_ALWAYS vs
glDisable (GL_ALPHA_TEST).
This patch simply calls glEnable (GL_ALPHA_TEST) in cogl_create_context
When _cogl_disable_other_texcoord_arrays is called it disables the
neccessary texcoord arrays and then removes the bits for the disabled
arrays in ctx->texcoord_arrays_enabled. However none of the places
that call the function then set any bits in ctx->texcoord_arrays_enabled
so the arrays would never get marked and they would never get disabled
again.
This patch just changes it so that _cogl_disable_other_texcoord_arrays
also sets the corresponding bits in ctx->texcoord_arrays_enabled.
Instead of directly using a guint32 to store a bitmask for each used
texcoord array, it now stores them in a CoglBitmask. This removes the
limitation of 32 layers (although there are still other places in Cogl
that imply this restriction). To disable texcoord arrays code should
call _cogl_disable_other_texcoord_arrays which takes a bitmask of
texcoord arrays that should not be disabled. There are two extra
bitmasks stored in the CoglContext which are used temporarily for this
function to avoid allocating a new bitmask each time.
http://bugzilla.openedhand.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2132
This implements a growable array of bits called CoglBitmask. The
CoglBitmask is intended to be cheap if less than 32 bits are used. If
more bits are required it will allocate a GArray. The type is meant to
be allocated on the stack but because it can require additional
resources it also has a destroy function.

Previously the counter for the number of layers was only updated
whenever the texture handle for a layer changes. However there are
many other ways for a new layer to be created for example by setting a
layer combine constant. Also by default the texture on a layer is
COGL_INVALID_HANDLE so if the application tries to create an explicit
layer with no texture by calling cogl_material_set_layer with
COGL_INVALID_HANDLE then it also wouldn't update the count.
This patch fixes that by incrementing the count in
cogl_material_get_layer instead. This function is called by all
functions that may end up creating a layer so it seems like the most
appropriate place.
http://bugzilla.openedhand.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2132
It should be quite acceptable to use a texture without defining any
texture coords. For example a shader may be in use that is doing
texture lookups without referencing the texture coordinates. Also it
should be possible to replace the vertex colors using a texture layer
without a texture but with a constant layer color.
enable_state_for_drawing_buffer no longer sets any disabled layers in
the overrides. Instead of counting the number of units with texture
coordinates it now keeps them in a mask. This means there can now be
gaps in the list of enabled texture coordinate arrays. To cope with
this, the Cogl context now also stores a mask to track the enabled
arrays. Instead of code manually iterating each enabled array to
disable them, there is now an internal function called
_cogl_disable_texcoord_arrays which disables a given mask.
I think this could also fix potential bugs when a vertex buffer has
gaps in the texture coordinate attributes that it provides. For
example if the vertex buffer only had texture coordinates for layer 2
then the disabling code would not disable the coordinates for layers 0
and 1 even though they are not used. This could cause a crash if the
previous data for those arrays is no longer valid.

This adds a math utility API for handling 3 component, single precision
float vectors with the following; mostly self explanatory functions:
cogl_vector3_init
cogl_vector3_init_zero
cogl_vector3_equal
cogl_vector3_equal_with_epsilon
cogl_vector3_copy
cogl_vector3_free
cogl_vector3_invert
cogl_vector3_add
cogl_vector3_subtract
cogl_vector3_multiply_scalar
cogl_vector3_divide_scalar
cogl_vector3_normalize
cogl_vector3_magnitude
cogl_vector3_cross_product
cogl_vector3_dot_product
cogl_vector3_distance
Since the API is experimental you will need to define
COGL_ENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_API before including cogl.h if you want to use
the API.
This stubs out an xlib event handling mechanism for Cogl. The intention
is for Clutter to use this to forward all x11 events to Cogl. As we move
winsys functionality down into Cogl, Cogl will become responsible for
handling a number of X events: ConfigureNotify events for onscreen
framebuffers, swap events and Damage events for cogl_x11_texture_pixmap.
Previously it would only try to set the blend equation if the RGB and
alpha blending functions were different. However it's completely valid
to use a non-standard blending function when the functions are the
same. This patch moves the blending equation to outside the if
statement.
Previously it would only set the blend constant if glBlendFuncSeparate
was used but it is perfectly acceptable to use the blend constant when
the same factor is used for each. It now sets the blend constant
whenever one of the factors would use the constant.
When a single statement is used to specify the factors for both the
RGB and alpha parts it previously split up the statement into
two. This works but it ends up unnecessarily using glBlendFuncSeparate
when glBlendFunc would suffice.
For example, the blend statement
RGBA = ADD(SRC_COLOR*(SRC_COLOR), DST_COLOR*(1-SRC_COLOR))
would get split into the two statements
RGBA = ADD(SRC_COLOR*(SRC_COLOR[RGB]), DST_COLOR*(1-SRC_COLOR[RGB]))
A = ADD(SRC_COLOR*(SRC_COLOR[A]), DST_COLOR*(1-SRC_COLOR[A]))
That translates to:
glBlendFuncSeparate (GL_SRC_COLOR, GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_COLOR,
GL_SRC_ALPHA, GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA);
This patch makes it so that arg_to_gl_blend_factor can handle the
combined RGBA mask instead. That way the single statement gets
translated to the equivalent call:
glBlendFunc (GL_SRC_COLOR, GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_COLOR);
Previously a path copy was implemented such that only the array of
path nodes was shared with the source and the rest of the data is
copied. This was so that the copy could avoid a deep copy if the
source path is appended to because the copy keeps track of its own
length. This optimisation is probably not worthwhile because it makes
the copies less cheap. Instead the CoglPath struct now just contains a
single pointer to a new CoglPathData struct which is separately
ref-counted. When the path is modified it will be copied if the ref
count on the data is not 1.
Since framebuffer state is not flushed prior to replaying the journal,
the trick of marking the framebuffer dirty prior to calling
glBindFramebuffer() doesn't work... the outstanding journal entries
will get replayed to the newly created framebuffer.
Fix this by flushing the journal as well.

If the clip stack is empty then _cogl_clip_stack_flush exits
immediately. This was missing out the assignment of *stencil_used_p at
the bottom of the function. If a path is then used after the clip is
cleared then it would think it needs to merge with the clip so the
stencil would not be cleared correctly.
Instead of using cogl_get_bitmasks() to query the GL machinery for the
size of the color bits, we should store the values inside the
CoglFramebuffer object and query them the first time we set the framebuffer
as the current one.
Currently, cogl_get_bitmasks() is re-implemented in terms of
cogl_framebuffer_get_*_bits(). As soon as we are able to expose the
CoglOnscreen framebuffer object in the public API we'll be able to
deprecate cogl_get_bitmasks() altogether.

In 91cde78a7 I accidentally changed the function names that get looked
up for the framebuffer extension under GLES so that they didn't have
any suffix. The spec for extension specifies that they should have the
OES suffix.
Debugging code is not meant to be run in the nominal code path. Use

When uploading texture data the cogl-texture-2d-sliced backend was
using _cogl_texture_prepare_for_upload to create a bitmap suitable for
upload but then it was using the original bitmap instead of the new
bitmap for the data. This was causing any format conversions performed
by cogl_texture_prepare_for_upload to be ignored.
http://bugzilla.openedhand.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2059
In commit abe91784c4 I changed cogl-texture so that it would use the
OpenGL mechanism to specify a different internal texture format from
the image format so that it can do the conversion instead of
Cogl. However under GLES the internal format and the image format must
always be the same and it only supports a limited set of formats. This
patch changes _cogl_texture_prepare_for_upload so that it does the
conversion using the cogl bitmap code when compiling for GLES.

There was a check at the bottom of the loop which sets up the state
for each of the layers so that it would break from the loop when the
maximum number of layers is reached. However after doing this it would
not increment 'i'. 'i' is later used to disable the remaining layers
so it would end up disabling the last layer it just set up.
This patch moves the check to be part of the loop condition so that
the check is performed after incrementing 'i'.

The warning displayed when too many layers are used had an off-by-one
error so that it would display even if exactly the maximum number is

cogl_path_arc_rel was never in any public headers so it isn't part of
the public API. It also has a slightly inconsistent name because the
rest of the relative path functions are called cogl_path_rel_*. This
patch makes it static for now to make it more obvious that it isn't
public. The name has changed to _cogl_path_rel_arc.
If a path is copied and then appended to, the copy needs to have the
last sub path truncated so that it fits in the total path size in case
the original path was modified. However the path size check was broken
so if the copied path had more than one sub path it would fail.
Previously the clip stack code was trying to detect when the
orientation of the on-screen rectangle had changed by checking if the
order of the y-coordinates on the left edge was different from the
order the x-coordinates on the top edge. This doesn't work for some
rotations which was causing the clip planes to clip the wrong side of
the line. This patch makes it detect the orientation by calculating
the signed area which is a standard computer graphics algorithm.

When drawing a path with only a single sub path, Cogl uses the
'even-odd' fill rule which means that if a part of the path intersects
with another part then the intersection would be inverted. However
when combining sub paths it treats them as separate paths and then
unions them together. This doesn't match the semantics of the even-odd
rule in SVG and Cairo. This patch makes it so that a new sub path is
just drawn as another triangle fan so that it will continue to invert
the stencil buffer. This is also much simpler and more efficient as
well as being more correct.

Under GLES glReadPixels is documented to only support GL_RGBA with
GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE and an implementation specfic format which can be
fetched with glGet, GL_IMPLEMENTATION_COLOR_READ_FORMAT_OES and
GL_IMPLEMENTATION_COLOR_READ_TYPE_OES. This patch makes it always read
using GL_RGBA and GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE and then convert the results if
neccessary.
This has some room for improvement because it doesn't attempt to use
the implementation specific format. Also the conversion is somewhat
wasteful because there are currently no cogl_bitmap_* functions to
convert without allocating a new buffer so it ends up doing an
intermediate copy.
http://bugzilla.openedhand.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2057
_cogl_bitmap_convert_format_and_premult was failing when converting
from RGBA to RGB and vice versa. _cogl_bitmap_fallback_convert
converts without altering the premult status so when choosing a new
format it would copy over the premult bit. However, it did this
regardless of whether the new format had an alpha channel so when
converting from RGBA_8888_PRE to RGB_888 it would end up inventing a
new meaningless format which would be RGB_888_PRE. This patch makes it
avoid copying the premult flag if the destination has no alpha. It
doesn't matter if it copies when the source format has no alpha
because it will always be unset.
_cogl_bitmap_convert_format_and_premult was also breaking when
converting from RGBA_8888_PRE to RGB_888 because it would think
RGB_888 is unpremultiplied and try to convert but then
_cogl_bitmap_fallback_premult wouldn't know how to do the conversion.

This adds three new internal API functions which can be used to retain
the clip stack state and restore it later:
_cogl_get_clip_stack
_cogl_set_clip_stack
_cogl_clip_stack_copy
The functions are currently internal and not yet used but we may want
to make them public in future to replace the cogl_clip_stack_save()
and cogl_clip_stack_restore() APIs.
The get function just returns the handle to the clip stack at the top
of the stack of stacks and the set function just replaces it.
The copy function makes a cheap copy of an existing stack by taking a
reference to the top stack entry. This ends up working like a deep
copy because there is no way to modify entries of a stack but it
doesn't actually copy the data.
CoglClipStackState has now been renamed to CoglClipState and is moved
to a separate file. CoglClipStack now just maintains a stack and
doesn't worry about the rest of the state. CoglClipStack sill contains
the code to flush the stack to GL.
When glScissor is called it needs to pass coordinates in GL's
coordinate space where the origin is the bottom left. Previously this
conversion was done before storing the window rect in the clip
stack. However this might make it more difficult if we want to be able
to grab a handle to a clip stack and use it in different circumstances
later. This patch moves the coordinate conversion to inside the clip
state flushing code.
The stack is now stored as a list of reference counted entries.
Instead of using a GList, each entry now contains a link with a
reference to its parent. The idea is that this would allow copying
stacks with a shared ancestry.
Previously the code flushed the state by finding the bottom of the
stack and then applying each entry by walking back up to the top. This
is slightly harder to do now because the list is no longer
doubly-linked. However I don't think it matters which order the
entries are applied so I've just changed it to apply them in reverse
order.
There was also a restriction that if ever the stencil buffer is used
then we could no longer use clip planes for any subsequent entries. I
don't think this makes sense because it should always work as long as
it doesn't attempt to use the clip planes more than once. I've
therefore removed the restriction.
The CoglAtlasTexture struct was not being freed in
_cogl_atlas_texture_free so there would be a small leak whenever a
texture was destroyed.
Thanks to Robert Bragg for spotting this.
CoglMaterial now sets GL_CLAMP_TO_EDGE if WRAP_MODE_AUTOMATIC is used
unless it is overridden when the material is flushed. The primitives
are still expected to expose repeat semantics so no user visible
changes are made. The idea is that drawing non-repeated textures is
the most common case so if we make clamp_to_ege the default then we
will reduce the number of times we have to override the
material. Avoiding overrides will become important if the overriding
mechanism is replaced with one where the primitive is expected to copy
the material and change that instead.
Previously, Cogl's texture coordinate system was effectively always
GL_REPEAT so that if an application specifies coordinates outside the
range 0→1 it would get repeated copies of the texture. It would
however change the mode to GL_CLAMP_TO_EDGE if all of the coordinates
are in the range 0→1 so that in the common case that the whole texture
is being drawn with linear filtering it will not blend in edge pixels
from the opposite sides.
This patch adds the option for applications to change the wrap mode
per layer. There are now three wrap modes: 'repeat', 'clamp-to-edge'
and 'automatic'. The automatic map mode is the default and it
implements the previous behaviour. The wrap mode can be changed for
the s and t coordinates independently. I've tried to make the
internals support setting the r coordinate but as we don't support 3D
textures yet I haven't exposed any public API for it.
The texture backends still have a set_wrap_mode virtual but this value
is intended to be transitory and it will be changed whenever the
material is flushed (although the backends are expected to cache it so
that it won't use too many GL calls). In my understanding this value
was always meant to be transitory and all primitives were meant to set
the value before drawing. However there were comments suggesting that
this is not the expected behaviour. In particular the vertex buffer
drawing code never set a wrap mode so it would end up with whatever
the texture was previously used for. These issues are now fixed
because the material will always set the wrap modes.
There is code to manually implement clamp-to-edge for textures that
can't be hardware repeated. However this doesn't fully work because it
relies on being able to draw the stretched parts using quads with the
same values for tx1 and tx2. The texture iteration code doesn't
support this so it breaks. This is a separate bug and it isn't
trivially solved.
When flushing a material there are now extra options to set wrap mode
overrides. The overrides are an array of values for each layer that
specifies an override for the s, t or r coordinates. The primitives
use this to implement the automatic wrap mode. cogl_polygon also uses
it to set GL_CLAMP_TO_BORDER mode for its trick to render sliced
textures. Although this code has been added it looks like the sliced
trick has been broken for a while and I haven't attempted to fix it
here.
I've added a constant to represent the maximum number of layers that a
material supports so that I can size the overrides array. I've set it
to 32 because as far as I can tell we have that limit imposed anyway
because the other flush options use a guint32 to store a flag about
each layer. The overrides array ends up adding 32 bytes to each flush
options struct which may be a concern.
http://bugzilla.openedhand.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2063
GL supports setting different wrap modes for the s, t and r
coordinates so we should design the backend interface to support that
also. The r coordinate is not currently used by any of the backends
but we might as well have it to make life easier if we ever add
support for 3D textures.

CoglColor and CoglMatrix have public declarations with private members
so that we are free to change the implementation but the structures
could still be allocated on the stack in applications. However it's
quite easy not to realise the members are private and then access them
directly. This patch wraps the members in a macro which redefines the
symbol name when including the header outside of the clutter source.
http://bugzilla.openedhand.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2065
The xx, yx, zx etc fields are meant to be read-only but they were
marked as private with the gtk-doc annotation. This patch moves the
private marker so that the 16 float member fields are public but the
type, inverted matrix, flags and padding are not.
This adds three new API calls:
CoglHandle cogl_path_get()
void cogl_path_set(CoglHandle path)
CoglHandle cogl_path_copy(CoglHandle path)
All of the fields relating to the path have been moved from the Cogl
context to a new CoglPath handle type. The cogl context now just
contains a CoglPath handle. All of the existing path commands
manipulate the data in the current path handle. cogl_path_new now just
creates a new path handle and unrefs the old one.
The path handle can be stored for later with cogl_path_get. The path
can then be copied with cogl_path_copy. Internally it implements
copy-on-write semantics with an extra optimisation that it will only
copy the data if the new path is modified, but not if the original
path is modified. It can do this because the only way to modify a path
is by appending to it so the copied path is able to store its own path
length and only render the nodes up to that length. For this to work
the copied path also needs to keep its own copies of the path extents
because the parent path may change these by adding nodes.
The clip stack now uses the cogl_path_copy mechanism to store paths in
the stack instead of directly copying the data. This should save some
memory and processing time.
Although cogl_multiply_matrix was consistent with OpenGL, after further
consideration it was agreed that cogl_transform is a better name. Given
that it's in the global cogl_ namespace cogl_transform seems more self
documenting.
This adds an example of how to setup a Clutter style 2D coordinate space
and clarifies what state is owned by a framebuffer. (projection,
modelview, viewport and clip stack)
When we expose more cogl_framebuffer API this example will hopefully be
migrated into a more extensive introduction to using framebuffers.
Previously cogl_set_source and cogl_set_source_texture were in
cogl-material.c and the cogl_set_source_color* funcs were in
cogl-color.c. Originally this was because cogl.c was duplicated between
the GL and GLES backends and we didn't want to add to the amount of
duplicated code, but these files have since been consolidated into one
cogl.c.
Quite often it's desirable to be able to multiply the current modelview
matrix by an arbitrary matrix. Currently though you have to first
explicitly call cogl_get_modelview_matrix to get the current modelview
into a temporary variable, then you need to multiply it with your matrix
using cogl_matrix_multiply and finally use cogl_set_modelview_matrix to
make the result be the new modelview. This new convenience function lets
more efficiently skip the first get and last set steps.
Every now and then someone sees the cogl_enable API and gets confused,
thinking its public API so this renames the symbol to be clear that it's
is an internal only API.
