This renames the two internal functions _cogl_get_draw/read_buffer
as cogl_get_draw_framebuffer and _cogl_get_read_framebuffer. The
former is now also exposed as experimental API.
Recently _cogl_swap_buffers_notify was added (in 142b229c5c) so that
Cogl would be notified when Clutter performs a swap buffers request for
a given onscreen framebuffer. It was expected this would be required for
the recent cogl_read_pixel optimization that was implemented (ref
1bdb0e6e98) but in the end it wasn't used.
Since it wasn't used in the end this patch removes the API.
OpenGL < 4.0 only supports integer based viewports and internally we
have a mixture of code using floats and integers for viewports. This
patch switches all viewports throughout clutter and cogl to be
represented using floats considering that in the future we may want to
take advantage of floating point viewports with modern hardware/drivers.
The current framebuffer is now internally separated so that there can
be a different draw and read buffer. This is required to use the
GL_EXT_framebuffer_blit extension. The current draw and read buffers
are stored as a pair in a single stack so that pushing the draw and
read buffer is done simultaneously with the new
_cogl_push_framebuffers internal function. Calling
cogl_pop_framebuffer will restore both the draw and read buffer to the
previous state. The public cogl_push_framebuffer function is layered
on top of the new function so that it just pushes the same buffer for
both drawing and reading.
When flushing the framebuffer state, the cogl_framebuffer_flush_state
function now tackes a pointer to both the draw and the read
buffer. Anywhere that was just flushing the state for the current
framebuffer with _cogl_get_framebuffer now needs to call both
_cogl_get_draw_buffer and _cogl_get_read_buffer.
This is part of a broader cleanup of some of the experimental Cogl API.
One of the reasons for this particular rename is to reduce the verbosity
of using the API. Another reason is that CoglVertexArray is going to be
renamed CoglAttributeBuffer and we want to help emphasize the
relationship between CoglAttributes and CoglAttributeBuffers.
This adds a transparent optimization to cogl_read_pixels for when a
single pixel is being read back and it happens that all the geometry of
the current frame is still available in the framebuffer's associated
journal.
The intention is to indirectly optimize Clutter's render based picking
mechanism in such a way that the 99% of cases where scenes are comprised
of trivial quad primitives that can easily be intersected we can avoid
the latency of kicking a GPU render and blocking for the result when we
know we can calculate the result manually on the CPU probably faster
than we could even kick a render.
A nice property of this solution is that it maintains all the
flexibility of the render based picking provided by Clutter and it can
gracefully fall back to GPU rendering if actors are drawn using anything
more complex than a quad for their geometry.
It seems worth noting that there is a limitation to the extensibility of
this approach in that it can only optimize picking a against geometry
that passes through Cogl's journal which isn't something Clutter
directly controls. For now though this really doesn't matter since
basically all apps should end up hitting this fast-path. The current
idea to address this longer term would be a pick2 vfunc for ClutterActor
that can support geometry and render based input regions of actors and
move this optimization up into Clutter instead.
Note: currently we don't have a primitive count threshold to consider
that there could be scenes with enough geometry for us to compensate for
the cost of kicking a render and determine a result more efficiently by
utilizing the GPU. We don't currently expect this to be common though.
Note: in the future it could still be interesting to revive something
like the wip/async-pbo-picking branch to provide an asynchronous
read-pixels based optimization for Clutter picking in cases where more
complex input regions that necessitate rendering are in use or if we do
add a threshold for rendering as mentioned above.
This adds a stop-gap mechanism for Cogl to know when the window system
is requested to present the current backbuffer to the frontbuffer by
adding a _cogl_swap_buffers_notify function that backends are now
expected to call right after issuing the equivalent request to OpenGL
vie the platforms OpenGL binding layer. This (blindly) updates all the
backends to call this new function.
For now Cogl doesn't do anything with the notification but the intention
is to use it as part of a planned read-pixel optimization which will
need to reset some state at the start of each new frame.
Instead of having a single journal per context, we now have a
CoglJournal object for each CoglFramebuffer. This means we now don't
have to flush the journal when switching/pushing/popping between
different framebuffers so for example a Clutter scene that involves some
ClutterEffect actors that transiently redirect to an FBO can still be
batched.
This also allows us to track state in the journal that relates to the
current frame of its associated framebuffer which we'll need for our
optimization for using the CPU to handle reading a single pixel back
from a framebuffer when we know the whole scene is currently comprised
of simple rectangles in a journal.
This moves the implementation of cogl_clear into cogl-framebuffer.c as
two new internal functions _cogl_framebuffer_clear and
_cogl_framebuffer_clear4f. It's not clear if this is what the API will
look like as we make more of the CoglFramebuffer API public due to the
limitations of using flags to identify buffers when framebuffers may
contain any number of ancillary buffers but conceptually it makes some
sense to tie the operation of clearing a color buffer to a framebuffer.
The short term intention is to enable tracking the current clear color
as a property of the framebuffer as part of an optimization for reading
back single pixels when the geometry is simple enough that we can
compute the result quickly on the CPU. (If the point doesn't intersect
any geometry we'll need to return the last clear color.)
The GLES2 wrapper is no longer needed because the shader generation is
done within the GLSL fragend and vertend and any functions that are
different for GLES2 are now guarded by #ifdefs.
When the GLES2 wrapper is removed we can't use the fixed function API
such as glColorPointer to set the builtin attributes. Instead the GLSL
progend now maintains a cache of attribute locations that are queried
with glGetAttribLocation. The code that previously maintained a cache
of the enabled texture coord arrays has been modified to also cache
the enabled vertex attributes under GLES2. The vertex attribute API is
now the only place that is using this cache so it has been moved into
cogl-vertex-attribute.c
This reverts commit 4cfe90bde2.
GLSL 1.00 on GLES doesn't support unsized arrays so the whole idea
can't work.
Conflicts:
clutter/cogl/cogl/cogl-pipeline-glsl.c
Under GLES2 we were defining the cogl_tex_coord_in varying as an array
with a size determined by the number of texture coordinate arrays
enabled whenever the program is used. This meant that we may have to
regenerate the shader with a different size if the shader is used with
more texture coord arrays later. However in OpenGL the equivalent
builtin varying gl_TexCoord is simply defined as:
varying vec4 gl_TexCoord[]; /* <-- no size */
GLSL is documented that if you declare an array with no size then you
can only access it with a constant index and the size of the array
will be determined by the highest index used. If you want to access it
with a non-constant expression you need to redeclare the array
yourself with a size.
We can replicate the same behaviour in our Cogl shaders by instead
declaring the cogl_tex_coord_in with no size. That way we don't have
to pass around the number of tex coord attributes enabled when we
flush a material. It also means that CoglShader can go back to
directly uploading the source string to GL when cogl_shader_source is
called so that we don't have to keep a copy of it around.
If the user wants to access cogl_tex_coord_in with a non-constant
index then they can simply redeclare the array themself. Hopefully
developers will expect to have to do this if they are accustomed to
the gl_TexCoord array.
Having ctx here produces a warning on GLES. However it's needed for Big
GL as we have at the top of the file:
#ifdef HAVE_COGL_GL
#define glClientActiveTexture ctx->drv.pf_glClientActiveTexture
#endif
This reverts commit 27a3a2056a.
The features_cached member of CoglContext is intended to mark when
we've calculated the features so that we know if they are ready in
cogl_get_features. However we always intialize the features while
creating the context so features_cached will never be FALSE so it's
not useful. We also had the odd behaviour that the COGL_DEBUG feature
overrides were only applied in the first call to
cogl_get_features. However there are other functions that use the
feature flags such as cogl_features_available that don't use this
function so in some cases the feature flags will be interpreted before
the overrides are applied. This patch makes it always initialize the
features and apply the overrides immediately while creating the
context. This fixes a problem with COGL_DEBUG=disable-arbfp where the
first material flushed is done before any call to cogl_get_features so
it may still use ARBfp.
Previously in cogl_read_pixels we assume the format of the framebuffer
is always premultiplied because that is the most likely format with
the default Cogl blend mode. However when the framebuffer is bound to
a texture we should be able to make a better guess at the format
because we know the texture keeps track of the premult status. This
patch adds an internal format member to CoglFramebuffer. For onscreen
framebuffers we still assume it is RGBA_8888_PRE but for offscreen to
textures we copy the texture format. cogl_read_pixels uses this to
determine whether the data returned by glReadPixels will be
premultiplied.
http://bugzilla.clutter-project.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2414
When converting the data in cogl_read_pixels it was using bmp_format
instead of the format passed in to the function. bmp_format is the
same as the passed in format except that it always has the premult bit
set. Therefore the conversion would not handle premultiply correctly.
http://bugzilla.clutter-project.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2414
This is the same as _cogl_read_pixels except that it takes a rowstride
parameter for the destination buffer. Under OpenGL setting the
rowstride this will end up calling GL_ROW_LENGTH so that the buffer
region can be directly written to. Under GLES GL_ROW_LENGTH is not
supported so it will use an intermediate buffer as it does if the
format is not GL_RGBA.
cogl_read_pixels now just calls the full version of the function with
the rowstride set to width*bpp.
http://bugzilla.clutter-project.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2414
We now prepend a set of defines to any given GLSL shader so that we can
define builtin uniforms/attributes within the "cogl" namespace that we
can use to provide compatibility across a range of the earlier versions
of GLSL.
This updates test-cogl-shader-glsl.c and test-shader.c so they no longer
needs to special case GLES vs GL when splicing together its shaders as
well as the blur, colorize and desaturate effects.
To get a feel for the new, portable uniform/attribute names here are the
defines for OpenGL vertex shaders:
#define cogl_position_in gl_Vertex
#define cogl_color_in gl_Color
#define cogl_tex_coord_in gl_MultiTexCoord0
#define cogl_tex_coord0_in gl_MultiTexCoord0
#define cogl_tex_coord1_in gl_MultiTexCoord1
#define cogl_tex_coord2_in gl_MultiTexCoord2
#define cogl_tex_coord3_in gl_MultiTexCoord3
#define cogl_tex_coord4_in gl_MultiTexCoord4
#define cogl_tex_coord5_in gl_MultiTexCoord5
#define cogl_tex_coord6_in gl_MultiTexCoord6
#define cogl_tex_coord7_in gl_MultiTexCoord7
#define cogl_normal_in gl_Normal
#define cogl_position_out gl_Position
#define cogl_point_size_out gl_PointSize
#define cogl_color_out gl_FrontColor
#define cogl_tex_coord_out gl_TexCoord
#define cogl_modelview_matrix gl_ModelViewMatrix
#define cogl_modelview_projection_matrix gl_ModelViewProjectionMatrix
#define cogl_projection_matrix gl_ProjectionMatrix
#define cogl_texture_matrix gl_TextureMatrix
And for fragment shaders we have:
#define cogl_color_in gl_Color
#define cogl_tex_coord_in gl_TexCoord
#define cogl_color_out gl_FragColor
#define cogl_depth_out gl_FragDepth
#define cogl_front_facing gl_FrontFacing
Previously in the tests/tools directory we build a disable-npots
library which was used as an LD_PRELOAD to trick Cogl in to thinking
there is no NPOT texture extension. This is a little awkward to use so
it seems much simpler to just define a COGL_DEBUG option to disable
npot textures.
When using cogl_set_source_color4ub there is a notable difference
between colors that require blending and those that dont. When trying to
modify the color of pipeline referenced by the journal we don't force a
flush of the journal unless the color change will also change the
blending state. By using two separate pipeline objects for handing
opaque or transparent colors we can avoid ever flushing the journal when
repeatedly using cogl_set_source_color and jumping between opaque and
transparent colors.
Flushing the clip state no longer does anything that would cause the
journal to flush. The clip state is only flushed when flushing the
framebuffer state and in all cases this ends up flushing the journal
in one way or another anyway. Avoiding flushing the journal will make
it easier to log the clip state in the journal.
Previously when trying to set up a rectangle clip that can't be
scissored or when using a path clip the code would use cogl_rectangle
as part of the process to fill the stencil buffer. This is now changed
to use a new internal _cogl_rectangle_immediate function which
directly uses the vertex array API to draw a triangle strip without
affecting the journal. This should be just as efficient as the
previous journalled code because these places would end up flushing
the journal immediately before and after submitting the single
rectangle anyway and flushing the journal always creates a new vbo so
it would effectively do the same thing.
Similarly there is also a new internal _cogl_clear function that does
not flush the journal.
This applies an API naming change that's been deliberated over for a
while now which is to rename CoglMaterial to CoglPipeline.
For now the new pipeline API is marked as experimental and public
headers continue to talk about materials not pipelines. The CoglMaterial
API is now maintained in terms of the cogl_pipeline API internally.
Currently this API is targeting Cogl 2.0 so we will have time to
integrate it properly with other upcoming Cogl 2.0 work.
The basic reasons for the rename are:
- That the term "material" implies to many people that they are
constrained to fragment processing; perhaps as some kind of high-level
texture abstraction.
- In Clutter they get exposed by ClutterTexture actors which may be
re-inforcing this misconception.
- When comparing how other frameworks use the term material, a material
sometimes describes a multi-pass fragment processing technique which
isn't the case in Cogl.
- In code, "CoglPipeline" will hopefully be a much more self documenting
summary of what these objects represent; a full GPU pipeline
configuration including, for example, vertex processing, fragment
processing and blending.
- When considering the API documentation story, at some point we need a
document introducing developers to how the "GPU pipeline" works so it
should become intuitive that CoglPipeline maps back to that
description of the GPU pipeline.
- This is consistent in terminology and concept to OpenGL 4's new
pipeline object which is a container for program objects.
Note: The cogl-material.[ch] files have been renamed to
cogl-material-compat.[ch] because otherwise git doesn't seem to treat
the change as a moving the old cogl-material.c->cogl-pipeline.c and so
we loose all our git-blame history.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.

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.
http://bugzilla.openedhand.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2132
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.
http://bugzilla.openedhand.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2094
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
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.
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.
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.
cogl_read_pixels() no longer asserts that the format passed in is
RGBA_8888 but instead accepts any format. The appropriate GL enums for
the format are passed to glReadPixels so OpenGL should be perform a
conversion if neccessary.
It currently assumes glReadPixels will always give us premultiplied
data. This will usually be correct because the result of the default
blending operations for Cogl ends up with premultiplied data in the
framebuffer. However it is possible for the framebuffer to be in
whatever format depending on what CoglMaterial is used to render to
it. Eventually we may want to add a way for an application to inform
Cogl that the framebuffer is not premultiplied in case it is being
used for some special purpose.
If the requested format is not premultiplied then Cogl will convert
it. The tests have been changed to read the data as premultiplied so
that they won't be affected by the conversion. Picking in Clutter has
been changed to use COGL_PIXEL_FORMAT_RGB_888 because it doesn't need
the alpha component. clutter_stage_read_pixels is left unchanged
because the application can't specify a format for that so it seems to
make most sense to store unpremultiplied values.

Since using addresses that might change is something that finally
the FSF acknowledge as a plausible scenario (after changing address
twice), the license blurb in the source files should use the URI
for getting the license in case the library did not come with it.
Not that URIs cannot possibly change, but at least it's easier to
set up a redirection at the same place.
As a side note: this commit closes the oldes bug in Clutter's bug
report tool.

Most Cogl debugging code conditions are marked as G_UNLIKELY with the
intention of having the CPU branch prediction always assume the
path is disabled so having debugging support in release binaries has
negligible overhead.
This patch simply fixes a few cases where we weren't using G_UNLIKELY.
The function _cogl_get_max_texture_units is called quite often while
rendering and it returns a constant value so we might as well cache
the result. Calling glGetInteger on Mesa can be expensive because it
flushes a lot of state.
We've had complaints that our Cogl code/headers are a bit "special" so
this is a first pass at tidying things up by giving them some
consistency. These changes are all consistent with how new code in Cogl
is being written, but the style isn't consistently applied across all
code yet.
There are two parts to this patch; but since each one required a large
amount of effort to maintain tidy indenting it made sense to combine the
changes to reduce the time spent re indenting the same lines.
The first change is to use a consistent style for declaring function
prototypes in headers. Cogl headers now consistently use this style for
prototypes:
return_type
cogl_function_name (CoglType arg0,
CoglType arg1);
Not everyone likes this style, but it seems that most of the currently
active Cogl developers agree on it.
The second change is to constrain the use of redundant glib data types
in Cogl. Uses of gint, guint, gfloat, glong, gulong and gchar have all
been replaced with int, unsigned int, float, long, unsigned long and char
respectively. When talking about pixel data; use of guchar has been
replaced with guint8, otherwise unsigned char can be used.
The glib types that we continue to use for portability are gboolean,
gint{8,16,32,64}, guint{8,16,32,64} and gsize.
The general intention is that Cogl should look palatable to the widest
range of C programmers including those outside the Gnome community so
- especially for the public API - we want to minimize the number of
foreign looking typedefs.
OpenGL is an implementation detail for Cogl so it's not appropriate to
expose OpenGL extensions through the Cogl API.
Note: Clutter is currently still using this API, because it is still
doing raw GL calls in ClutterGLXTexturePixmap, so this introduces a
couple of (legitimate) build warnings while compiling Clutter.
Instead of assigning a new colour to each quad of a batch, the
rectangle debugging code now assigns a new colour to each batch so
that it can be used to visually see what is being batched. The colour
is stored in a global variable that is reset during cogl_clear. This
improves the chances that the same colour will be used for a batch in
the next frames to avoid flickering.
We were checking the number of texture units against the GL enum that is
used in glGetInteger() to query that number. Let's abstract this in a
little function.
Took the opportunity to dig a bit on the usage of GL limits for the
number of texture (image) units and document our use of them. We'll need
something finer grained if we want to fully exploit texture image units
with a programmable pipeline.
The index field of CoglTextureUnit was never set, leading to the
creation of units with index set to 0. When trying to retrieve a texture
unit by its index (!= 0) with _cogl_get_texture_unit(), a new one was
created as it could not find it back in the list of textures units:
ctx->texture_units.

cogl_push_draw_buffer, cogl_set_draw_buffer and cogl_pop_draw_buffer are now
deprecated and new code should use the new cogl_framebuffer_* API instead.
Code that previously did:
cogl_push_draw_buffer ();
cogl_set_draw_buffer (COGL_OFFSCREEN_BUFFER, buffer);
/* draw */
cogl_pop_draw_buffer ();
should now be re-written as:
cogl_push_framebuffer (buffer);
/* draw */
cogl_pop_framebuffer ();
As can be seen from the example above the rename has been used as an
opportunity to remove the redundant target argument from
cogl_set_draw_buffer; it now only takes one call to redirect to an offscreen
buffer, and finally the term framebuffer may be a bit more familiar to
anyone coming from an OpenGL background.
cogl_material_copy can be used to create a new CoglHandle referencing a copy
of some given material.
From now on we will advise that developers always aim to use this function
instead of cogl_material_new() when creating a material that is in any way
derived from another.
By using cogl_material_copy, Cogl can maintain an ancestry for each material
and keep track of "similar" materials. The plan is that Cogl will use this
information to minimize the cost of GPU state transitions.
This function was #if 0'd before we released Clutter 1.0 so there's no
implementation of it. At some point we thought it might assist with
developers breaking out into raw OpenGL. Breaking out to raw GL is a
difficult problem though so we decided instead we will wait for a specific
use case to arrise before trying to support it.
There is a new internal Cogl function called _cogl_check_driver_valid
which looks at the value of the GL_VERSION string to determine whether
the driver is supported. Clutter now calls this after the stage is
realized. If it fails then the stage is marked as unrealized and a
warning is shown.
_cogl_features_init now also checks the version number before getting
the function pointers for glBlendFuncSeparate and
glBlendEquationSeparate. It is not safe to just check for the presence
of the functions because some drivers may define the function without
fully implementing the spec.
The GLES version of _cogl_check_driver_valid just always returns TRUE
because there are no version requirements yet.
Eventually the function could also check for mandatory extensions if
there were any.

This fixes a warning about an uninitialised value. It could also
potentially fix some crashes for example if the enable_flags value
happened to include a bit for enabling a vertex array if no vertex
buffer pointer was set.
This new API takes advantage of the recently imported Mesa code to support
inverse matrix calculation. The matrix code keeps track (via internal
flags) of the transformations a matrix represents so that it can select an
optimized inversion function.
Note: although other aspects of the Cogl matrix API have followed a similar
style to Cairo's matrix API we haven't added a cogl_matrix_invert API
because the inverse of a CoglMatrix is actually cached as part of the
CoglMatrix structure meaning a destructive API like cogl_matrix_invert
doesn't let users take advantage of this caching design.
This adds a COGL_DEBUG=matrices debug option that can be used to trace all
matrix manipulation done using the Cogl API. This can be handy when you
break something in such a way that a trace is still comparable with a
previous working version since you can simply diff a log of the broken
version vs the working version to home in on the bug.
Because Cogl defines the origin for texture as top left and offscreen draw
buffers can be used to render to textures, we (internally) force all
offscreen rendering to be upside down. (because OpenGL defines the origin
to be bottom left)
By forcing the users scene to be rendered upside down though we also reverse
the winding order of all the drawn triangles which may interfere with the
users use of backface culling. This patch ensures that we reverse the
winding order for a front face (if culling is in use) while rendering
offscreen so we don't conflict with the users back face culling.
Technically this change shouldn't make a difference since we are
calling glReadPixels with GL_RGBA GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE which is a 4
byte format and it should always result in the same value according
to how OpenGL calculates the location of sequential rows.
i.e. k = a/s * ceil(snl/a) where:
a = alignment
s = component size (1)
n = number of components per pixel (4)
l = number of pixels in a row
gives:
k = 4/1 * ceil(4l/4) and k = 1/1 * ceil(4l/1) which are equivalent
I'm changing it because I've seen i915 driver code that bails out of
hardware accelerated paths if the alignment isn't 1, and because
conceptually we have no alignment constraints here so even if the current
value has no effect, when we start reading back other formats it may upset
things.
We were previously calling cogl_flush() after setting up the glPixelStore
state for calling glReadPixels, but flushing the journal could itself
change the glPixelStore state.
Since offscreen rendering is forced to be upside down we don't need to do
any conversion of the users coordinates to go from Cogl window coordinates
to OpenGL window coordinates.
Since we do all offscreen rendering upside down (so that we can have the
origin for texture coordinates be the top left of textures for the cases
where offscreen draw buffers are bound to textures) we don't need to flip
data read back from an offscreen framebuffer before we we return it to the
user.
cogl_viewport only accepted a viewport width and height, but there are times
when it's also desireable to have a viewport offset so that a scene can be
translated after projection but before hitting the framebuffer.
Cogl's support for offscreen rendering was originally written just to support
the clutter_texture_new_from_actor API and due to lack of documentation and
several confusing - non orthogonal - side effects of using the API it wasn't
really possible to use directly.
This commit does a number of things:
- It removes {gl,gles}/cogl-fbo.{c,h} and adds shared cogl-draw-buffer.{c,h}
files instead which should be easier to maintain.
- internally CoglFbo objects are now called CoglDrawBuffers. A
CoglDrawBuffer is an abstract base class that is inherited from to
implement CoglOnscreen and CoglOffscreen draw buffers. CoglOffscreen draw
buffers will initially be used to support the
cogl_offscreen_new_to_texture API, and CoglOnscreen draw buffers will
start to be used internally to represent windows as we aim to migrate some
of Clutter's backend code to Cogl.
- It makes draw buffer objects the owners of the following state:
- viewport
- projection matrix stack
- modelview matrix stack
- clip state
(This means when you switch between draw buffers you will automatically be
switching to their associated viewport, matrix and clip state)
Aside from hopefully making cogl_offscreen_new_to_texture be more useful
short term by having simpler and well defined semantics for
cogl_set_draw_buffer, as mentioned above this is the first step for a couple
of other things:
- Its a step toward moving ownership for windows down from Clutter backends
into Cogl, by (internally at least) introducing the CoglOnscreen draw
buffer. Note: the plan is that cogl_set_draw_buffer will accept on or
offscreen draw buffer handles, and the "target" argument will become
redundant since we will instead query the type of the given draw buffer
handle.
- Because we have a common type for on and offscreen framebuffers we can
provide a unified API for framebuffer management. Things like:
- blitting between buffers
- managing ancillary buffers (e.g. attaching depth and stencil buffers)
- size requisition
- clearing
The indirection through this API isn't necessary since we no longer
arbitrate between the OpenGL matrix API and Cogl's client side API. Also it
doesn't help to maintain an OpenGL style matrix mode API for internal use
since it's awkward to keep restoring the MODELVIEW mode and easy enough to
directly work with the matrix stacks of interest.
This replaces use of the _cogl_current_matrix API with direct use of the
_cogl_matrix_stack API. All the unused cogl_current_matrix API is removed
and the matrix utility code left in cogl-current-matrix.c was moved to
cogl.c.
This relates back to an earlier commitment to stop using the OpenGL matrix
API which is considered deprecated. (ref 54159f5a1d)
The new texture matrix stacks are hung from a list of (internal only)
CoglTextureUnit structures which the CoglMaterial code internally references
via _cogl_get_texure_unit ().
So we would be left with only the cogl-matrix-stack code being responsible
for glMatrixMode, glLoadMatrix and glLoadIdentity this commit updates the
journal code so it now uses the matrix-stack API instead of GL directly.
As part of an incremental process to have Cogl be a standalone project we
want to re-consider how we organise the Cogl source code.
Currently this is the structure I'm aiming for:
cogl/
cogl/
<put common source here>
winsys/
cogl-glx.c
cogl-wgl.c
driver/
gl/
gles/
os/ ?
utils/
cogl-fixed
cogl-matrix-stack?
cogl-journal?
cogl-primitives?
pango/
The new winsys component is a starting point for migrating window system
code (i.e. x11,glx,wgl,osx,egl etc) from Clutter to Cogl.
The utils/ and pango/ directories aren't added by this commit, but they are
noted because I plan to add them soon.
Overview of the planned structure:
* The winsys/ API is the API that binds OpenGL to a specific window system,
be that X11 or win32 etc. Example are glx, wgl and egl. Much of the logic
under clutter/{glx,osx,win32 etc} should migrate here.
* Note there is also the idea of a winsys-base that may represent a window
system for which there are multiple winsys APIs. An example of this is
x11, since glx and egl may both be used with x11. (currently only Clutter
has the idea of a winsys-base)
* The driver/ represents a specific varient of OpenGL. Currently we have "gl"
representing OpenGL 1.4-2.1 (mostly fixed function) and "gles" representing
GLES 1.1 (fixed funciton) and 2.0 (fully shader based)
* Everything under cogl/ should fundamentally be supporting access to the
GPU. Essentially Cogl's most basic requirement is to provide a nice GPU
Graphics API and drawing a line between this and the utility functionality
we add to support Clutter should help keep this lean and maintainable.
* Code under utils/ as suggested builds on cogl/ adding more convenient
APIs or mechanism to optimize special cases. Broadly speaking you can
compare cogl/ to OpenGL and utils/ to GLU.
* clutter/pango will be moved to clutter/cogl/pango
How some of the internal configure.ac/pkg-config terminology has changed:
backendextra -> CLUTTER_WINSYS_BASE # e.g. "x11"
backendextralib -> CLUTTER_WINSYS_BASE_LIB # e.g. "x11/libclutter-x11.la"
clutterbackend -> {CLUTTER,COGL}_WINSYS # e.g. "glx"
CLUTTER_FLAVOUR -> {CLUTTER,COGL}_WINSYS
clutterbackendlib -> CLUTTER_WINSYS_LIB
CLUTTER_COGL -> COGL_DRIVER # e.g. "gl"
Note: The CLUTTER_FLAVOUR and CLUTTER_COGL defines are kept for apps
As the first thing to take advantage of the new winsys component in Cogl;
cogl_get_proc_address() has been moved from cogl/{gl,gles}/cogl.c into
cogl/common/cogl.c and this common implementation first trys
_cogl_winsys_get_proc_address() but if that fails then it falls back to
gmodule.
