They should be part of the backend-specific API.
The only backend that has an enumeration type is the X11 one, and it's
small, so we can simply put it there.
This is not an ABI change: the backend-specific symbols are still in
the same SO. You'll be required to import clutter-x11.h to have access
to the GType method at the source level, whereas before just importing
clutter.h would have sufficed. The only user of that enumeration was a
function declared in clutter-x11.h, anyway.
Add clutter_x11_set_use_stereo_stage() that can be called
before clutter_init() so that the CoglDisplay we create and all
stages created from that CoglDisplay will be created with a
stereo fbconfig.
This is done in clutter-x11 because of the similarity to the
existing clutter_x11_set_use_argb_visual(), and because it's
not clear without other examples whether the need to have
stereo enabled from before clutter_init() is universal or
somethign specific to GLX.
Cogl required version is increased to 1.20, which has the
required API.

When an application sets the scaling factor manually we should mark it as fixed
and not override it when the xsettings change. This matches GDKs behaviour.
In order for this to work we cannot use the same path when setting the value
internally so introduce a _clutter_settings_set_property_internal and use it
for that.

We should use the Xkb API to query the direction of the key map,
depending on the group. To get a valid result we need to go over
the Unicode equivalents of the key symbols for each group, so we
should cache the result.
The code used to query and cache the key map direction is taken
from GDK.

On high DPI density displays we create surfaces with a size scaled up by
a certain factor. Even if the contents stay at the same relative size
and position, we need to compensate the scaling both when changing the
surface size, and when dealing with input.

Since XIQueryVersion, the bad API that it is, chooses the first client
version that it gets, we need to ensure that we pass XIQueryVersion the
new XI2.3 version, knowing fully well that Clutter won't be confused
by the new features.

The X server should fill in the minor version that it supports in the
case where it only supports the older version. We should not get a
BadRequest or fail the version check if we pass something higher.

This function is deprecated and has been replaced by set_display() on
the renderer. This is done in the get_renderer() vfunc of both the x11
and gdk backends already.
Actually cogl_xlib_set_diplay() is now a no-op and can be safely removed.

It's possible to run Clutter with the 'null' input backend, which means
that clutter_device_manager_get_default() may return NULL. In the future
we may add a default dummy device manager, but right now it's safer to
just add a simple NULL check in the places where we ask for the device
manager.
When using the Wayland backend this sets a constraint that the
CoglRenderer selects the Wayland EGL winsys.
When a Wayland compositor display is set it now also sets a constraint
that the render should use EGL because only EGL renderers will set up
the required wl_drm global object.
The X11 backend now sets the X11 constraint.

Create the device manager during the event initialization, where it
makes sense.
This allows us to get rid of the per-backend get_device_manager()
virtual function, and just store the DeviceManager pointer into the
ClutterBackend structure.
All the functionality that ClutterBackendCogl provided has been moved
into ClutterBackend itself, so there is no need to have this class
around in the source.
Cogl-based backends can derive directly from ClutterBackend.
Don't replace create_context(): given that the X11 backend already uses
Cogl for the context creation, we can just provide the right data
structures ourselves.
Input backends are, in some cases, independent from the windowing system
backends; we can initialize input handling using a model similar to what
we use for windowing backends, including an environment variable and
compile-/run-time checks.
This model allows us to remove the backend-specific init_events(), and
use a generic implementation directly inside the base ClutterBackend
class, thus further reducing the backend-specific code that every
platform has to implement.
This requires some minor surgery to every single backend, to make sure
that the function exposed to initialize the event loop is similar and
performs roughly the same operations.
The Clutter backend split is opaque enough that should allow us to just
build all possible backends inside the same shared object, and select
the wanted backend at initialization time.
This requires some work in the build system, as well as the
initialization code, to remove duplicate functions that might cause
conflicts at build and link time. We also need to defer all the checks
of the internal state of the platform-specific API to run-time type
checks.
Previously, the Cogl backend was at times a subclass of the X11
backend, and at times a standalone one. Now it is the other way
round, with GDK and X11 backends providing the concrete classes,
layered on top of the generic Cogl backend. A new EglNative backend
was introduced for direct to framebuffer rendering. This greatly
simplifies the API design (at the expense of some casts needed)
and reduces the amount of #ifdefs, without duplicating code.

Since Xlib.h is such a terrible citizen when it comes to symbol
namespacing it's not desirable to include Xlib.h if it is not absolutely
required. Cogl now has a standalone cogl-xlib.h that should be included
whenever any xlib specific symbols are required.
This patch updates clutter to include <cogl/cogl-xlib.h> wherever
clutter needs to use xlib specific cogl apis.

The G_CONST_RETURN define in GLib is, and has always been, a bit fuzzy.
We always used it to conform to the platform, at least for public-facing
API.
At first I assumed it has something to do with brain-damaged compilers
or with weird platforms where const was not really supported; sadly,
it's something much, much worse: it's a define that can be toggled at
compile-time to remove const from the signature of public API. This is a
truly terrifying feature that I assume was added in the past century,
and whose inception clearly had something to do with massive doses of
absynthe and opium — because any other explanation would make the
existence of such a feature even worse than assuming drugs had anything
to do with it.
Anyway, and pleasing the gods, this dubious feature is being
removed/deprecated in GLib; see bug:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=644611
Before deprecation, though, we should just remove its usage from the
whole API. We should especially remove its usage from Cally's internals,
since there it never made sense in the first place.
Instead of having cogl_renderer_xlib_add_filter and friends there is
now cogl_renderer_add_native_filter which can be used regardless of
the backend. The callback function for the filter now just takes a
void pointer instead of an XEvent pointer which should be interpreted
differently depending on the backend. For example, on Xlib it would
still be an XEvent but on Windows it could be a MSG. This simplifies
the code somewhat because the _cogl_xlib_add_filter no longer needs to
have its own filter list when a stub renderer is used because there is
always a renderer available.
cogl_renderer_xlib_handle_event has also been renamed to
cogl_renderer_handle_native_event. This just forwards the event on to
all of the listeners. The backend renderer is expected to register its
own event filter if it wants to process the events in some way.
This makes it possible to build Clutter against a standalone build of
Cogl instead of having the Clutter build traverse into the clutter/cogl
subdirectory.
This migrates all the GLX window system code down from the Clutter
backend code into a Cogl winsys. Moving OpenGL window system binding
code down from Clutter into Cogl is the biggest blocker to having Cogl
become a standalone 3D graphics library, so this is an important step in
that direction.
In the future, we want event translators to be the way to handle events
in backends. For this reason, they should be a part of the base abstract
ClutterBackend class, and not an X11-only concept.
The x11 backend exposes a lot of symbols that are meant to only be used
when implementing a subclassed backend, like the glx and eglx ones.
The uninstalled headers are also filled with cruft declarations of
functions long since removed.
Let's try to clean up this mess.
Undeprecate the XInput-related X11 API: since we don't enable XI support
by default we still need to ask for it, and see if we have it after the
backend initialization sequence.
This is a lump commit that is fairly difficult to break down without
either breaking bisecting or breaking the test cases.
The new design for handling X11 event translation works this way:
- ClutterBackend::translate_event() has been added as the central
point used by a ClutterBackend implementation to translate a
native event into a ClutterEvent;
- ClutterEventTranslator is a private interface that should be
implemented by backend-specific objects, like stage
implementations and ClutterDeviceManager sub-classes, and
allows dealing with class-specific event translation;
- ClutterStageX11 implements EventTranslator, and deals with the
stage-relative X11 events coming from the X11 event source;
- ClutterStageGLX overrides EventTranslator, in order to
deal with the INTEL_GLX_swap_event extension, and it chains up
to the X11 default implementation;
- ClutterDeviceManagerX11 has been split into two separate classes,
one that deals with core and (optionally) XI1 events, and the
other that deals with XI2 events; the selection is done at run-time,
since the core+XI1 and XI2 mechanisms are mutually exclusive.
All the other backends we officially support still use their own
custom event source and translation function, but the end goal is to
migrate them to the translate_event() virtual function, and have the
event source be a shared part of Clutter core.
