Currently features are represented as bits in a 32bit mask so we
obviously can't have more than 32 features with that approach. The new
approach is to use the COGL_FLAGS_ macros which lets us handle bitmasks
without a size limit and we change the public api to accept individual
feature enums instead of a mask. This way there is no limit on the
number of features we can add to Cogl.
Instead of using cogl_features_available() there is a new
cogl_has_feature() function and for checking multiple features there is
cogl_has_features() which takes a zero terminated vararg list of
features.
In addition to being able to check for individual features this also
adds a way to query all the features currently available via
cogl_foreach_feature() which will call a callback for each feature.
Since the new functions take an explicit context pointer there is also
no longer any ambiguity over when users can first start to query
features.

As part of the on going, incremental effort to purge the non type safe
CoglHandle type from the Cogl API this patch tackles most of the
CoglHandle uses relating to textures.
We'd postponed making this change for quite a while because we wanted to
have a clearer understanding of how we wanted to evolve the texture APIs
towards Cogl 2.0 before exposing type safety here which would be
difficult to change later since it would imply breaking APIs.
The basic idea that we are steering towards now is that CoglTexture
can be considered to be the most primitive interface we have for any
object representing a texture. The texture interface would provide
roughly these methods:
cogl_texture_get_width
cogl_texture_get_height
cogl_texture_can_repeat
cogl_texture_can_mipmap
cogl_texture_generate_mipmap;
cogl_texture_get_format
cogl_texture_set_region
cogl_texture_get_region
Besides the texture interface we will then start to expose types
corresponding to specific texture types: CoglTexture2D,
CoglTexture3D, CoglTexture2DSliced, CoglSubTexture, CoglAtlasTexture and
CoglTexturePixmapX11.
We will then also expose an interface for the high-level texture types
we have (such as CoglTexture2DSlice, CoglSubTexture and
CoglAtlasTexture) called CoglMetaTexture. CoglMetaTexture is an
additional interface that lets you iterate a virtual region of a meta
texture and get mappings of primitive textures to sub-regions of that
virtual region. Internally we already have this kind of abstraction for
dealing with sliced texture, sub-textures and atlas textures in a
consistent way, so this will just make that abstraction public. The aim
here is to clarify that there is a difference between primitive textures
(CoglTexture2D/3D) and some of the other high-level textures, and also
enable developers to implement primitives that can support meta textures
since they can only be used with the cogl_rectangle API currently.
The thing that's not so clean-cut with this are the texture constructors
we have currently; such as cogl_texture_new_from_file which no longer
make sense when CoglTexture is considered to be an interface. These
will basically just become convenient factory functions and it's just a
bit unusual that they are within the cogl_texture namespace. It's worth
noting here that all the texture type APIs will also have their own type
specific constructors so these functions will only be used for the
convenience of being able to create a texture without really wanting to
know the details of what type of texture you need. Longer term for 2.0
we may come up with replacement names for these factory functions or the
other thing we are considering is designing some asynchronous factory
functions instead since it's so often detrimental to application
performance to be blocked waiting for a texture to be uploaded to the
GPU.

This adds an internal function to set the backface culling state on a
pipeline. This includes properties to set the culling mode (front,
back or both) and also to set which face is considered the front
(COGL_WINDING_CLOCKWISE or COGL_WINDING_COUNTER_CLOCKWISE). The actual
front face flushed to GL depends on whether we are rendering to an
offscreen buffer or not. This means that when changing between on- and
off- screen framebuffers it now checks whether the last flushed
pipeline has backface culling enabled and forces a reflush of the cull
face state if so.
The backface culling is now set on a pipeline as part of the legacy
state. This is important because some code in Cogl assumes it can
flush a temporary pipeline to revert to a known state, but previously
this wouldn't disable backface culling so things such as flushing the
clip stack could get confused.

This adds CoglPipeline and CoglFramebuffer support for setting a color
mask which is a bit mask defining which color channels should be written
to the current framebuffer.
The final color mask is the intersection of the framebuffer color mask
and the pipeline color mask. The framebuffer mask affects all rendering
to the framebuffer while the pipeline masks can be used to affect
individual primitives.

The GL or GLES library is now dynamically loaded by the CoglRenderer
so that it can choose between GL, GLES1 and GLES2 at runtime. The
library is loaded by the renderer because it needs to be done before
calling eglInitialize. There is a new environment variable called
COGL_DRIVER to choose between gl, gles1 or gles2.
The #ifdefs for HAVE_COGL_GL, HAVE_COGL_GLES and HAVE_COGL_GLES2 have
been changed so that they don't assume the ifdefs are mutually
exclusive. They haven't been removed entirely so that it's possible to
compile the GLES backends without the the enums from the GL headers.
When using GLX the winsys additionally dynamically loads libGL because
that also contains the GLX API. It can't be linked in directly because
that would probably conflict with the GLES API if the EGL is
selected. When compiling with EGL support the library links directly
to libEGL because it doesn't contain any GL API so it shouldn't have
any conflicts.
When building for WGL or OSX Cogl still directly links against the GL
API so there is a #define in config.h so that Cogl won't try to dlopen
the library.
Cogl-pango previously had a #ifdef to detect when the GL backend is
used so that it can sneakily pass GL_QUADS to
cogl_vertex_buffer_draw. This is now changed so that it queries the
CoglContext for the backend. However to get this to work Cogl now
needs to export the _cogl_context_get_default symbol and cogl-pango
needs some extra -I flags to so that it can include
cogl-context-private.h
cogl-ext-functions.h now contains definitions for all of the core GL
and GLES functions that we would normally link to directly. All of the
code has changed to access them through the cogl context pointer. The
GE macro now takes an extra parameter to specify the context because
the macro itself needs to make GL calls but various points in the Cogl
source use different names for the context variable.
Instead of storing all of the feature function pointers in the driver
specific data of the CoglContext they are now all stored directly in
CoglContext. There is a single header containing the description of
the functions which gets included by cogl-context.h. There is a single
function in cogl-feature-private.c to check for all of these
functions.
The name of the function pointer variables have been changed from
ctx->drv.pf_glWhatever to just ctx->glWhatever.
The feature flags that get set when an extension is available are now
separated from the table of extensions. This is necessary because
different extensions can mean different things on GLES and GL. For
example, having access to glMapBuffer implies read and write support
on GL but only write support on GLES. The flags are instead set in the
driver specific init function by checking whether the function
pointers were successfully resolved.
_cogl_feature_check has been changed to assume the feature is
supported if any of the listed extensions are available instead of
requiring all of them. This makes it more convenient to specify
alternate names for the extension. Nothing else had previously listed
more than one name for an extension so this shouldn't cause any
problems.
The CoglPipeline code uses a combination of GL_MAX_TEXTURE_COORDS,
GL_MAX_COMBINED_TEXTURE_IMAGE_UNITS and GL_MAX_TEXTURE_UNITS to
determine the maximum number of layers to allow in a pipeline. However
on fixed function hardware that doesn't advertise either GLSL or ARBfp
it was still using the first two enums which will probably just return
0 and set a GLerror. This meant that we effectively didn't support
using any layers on purely fixed function hardware. This patch changes
it to only use those two enums if the appropriate extensions are
advertised and to always use GL_MAX_TEXTURE_UNITS except on GLES2
where there is no fixed function.

Instead of simply extending the cogl_pipeline_ namespace to add api for
controlling the depth testing state we now break the api out. This adds
a CoglDepthState type that can be stack allocated. The members of the
structure are private but we have the following API to setup the state:
cogl_depth_state_init
cogl_depth_state_set_test_enabled
cogl_depth_state_get_test_enabled
cogl_depth_state_set_test_function
cogl_depth_state_get_test_function
cogl_depth_state_set_writing_enabled
cogl_depth_state_get_writing_enabled
cogl_depth_state_set_range
cogl_depth_state_get_range
This removes the following experimental API which is now superseded:
cogl_material_set_depth_test_enabled
cogl_material_get_depth_test_enabled
cogl_material_set_depth_test_function
cogl_material_get_depth_test_function
cogl_material_set_depth_writing_enabled
cogl_material_get_depth_writing_enabled
cogl_material_set_depth_range
cogl_material_get_depth_range
Once a CoglDepthState structure is setup it can be set on a pipeline
using cogl_pipeline_set_depth_state().
The lighting parameters such as the diffuse and ambient colors were
previously only flushed in the fixed vertend. This meant that if a
vertex shader was used then they would not be set. The lighting
parameters are uniforms which are just as useful in a fragment shader
so it doesn't really make sense to set them in the vertend. They are
now flushed in the common cogl-pipeline-opengl code but the code is
#ifdef'd for GLES2 because they need to be part of the progend in that
case.
There are several places where we need to compare the texture state of a
pipeline and sometimes we need to take into consideration if the
underlying texture has changed but other times we may only care to know
if the texture target has changed.
For example the fragends typically generate programs that they want to
share with all pipelines with equivalent fragment processing state, and
in this case when comparing pipelines we only care about the texture
targets since changes to the underlying texture won't affect the
programs generated.
Prior to this we had tried to handle this by passing around some special
flags to various functions that evaluate pipeline state to say when we
do/don't care about the texture data, but this wasn't working in all
cases and was more awkward to manage than the new approach.
Now we simply have two state bits:
COGL_PIPELINE_LAYER_STATE_TEXTURE_TARGET and
COGL_PIPELINE_LAYER_STATE_TEXTURE_DATA and CoglPipelineLayer has an
additional target member. Since all the appropriate code takes masks of
these state bits to determine what to evaluate we don't need any extra
magic flags.
We try and bail out of flushing pipeline state asap if we can see the
pipeline has already been flushed and hasn't changed but we weren't
checking to see if the skip_gl_color flag is the same as when it was
last flush too and so we'd sometimes bail out without updating the
glColor correctly.
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.
Once the GLES2 wrapper is removed we won't be able to upload the
matrices with the fixed function API any more. The fixed function API
gives a global state for setting the matrix but if a custom shader
uniform is used for the matrices then the state is per
program. _cogl_matrix_stack_flush_to_gl is called in a few places and
it is assumed the current pipeline doesn't need to be flushed before
it is called. To allow these semantics to continue to work, on GLES2
the matrix flush now just stores a reference to the matrix stack in
the CoglContext. A pre_paint virtual is added to the progend which is
called whenever a pipeline is flushed, even if the same pipeline was
flushed already. This gives the GLSL progend a chance to upload the
matrices to the uniforms. The combined modelview/projection matrix is
only calculated if it is used. The generated programs end up never
using the modelview or projection matrix so it usually only has to
upload the combined matrix. When a matrix stack is flushed a reference
is taked to it by the pipeline progend and the age is stored so that
if the same state is used with the same program again then we don't
need to reupload the uniform.
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
The GLSL vertend is mostly only useful for GLES2. The fixed function
vertend is kept at higher priority than the GLSL vertend so it is
unlikely to be used in any other circumstances.
The vertends are intended to flush state that would be represented in
a vertex program. Code to handle the layer matrix, lighting and
point size has now been moved from the common cogl-pipeline-opengl
backend to the fixed vertend.
'progend' is short for 'program backend'. The progend is intended to
operate on combined state from a fragment backend and a vertex
backend. The progend has an 'end' function which is run whenever the
pipeline is flushed and the two pipeline change notification
functions. All of the progends are run whenever the pipeline is
flushed instead of selecting a single one because it is possible that
multiple progends may be in use for example if the vertends and
fragends are different. The GLSL progend will take the shaders
generated by the fragend and vertend and link them into a single
program. The fragend code has been changed to only generate the shader
and not the program. The idea is that pipelines can share fragment
shader objects even if their vertex state is different. The authority
for the progend needs to be the combined authority on the vertend and
fragend state.
Previously enabling and disabling textures was done whatever the
backend in cogl-pipeline-opengl. However enabling and disabling
texture targets only has any meaning if no fragment shaders are being
used so this patch moves the code to cogl-pipeline-fragend-fixed.
The GLES2 wrapper has also been changed to ignore enabledness when
deciding whether to update texture coordinate attribute pointers.
The current Cogl pipeline backends are entirely concerned with the
fragment processing state. We also want to eventually have separate
backends to generate shaders for the vertex processing state so we
need to rename the fragment backends. 'Fragend' is a somewhat weird
name but we wanted to avoid ending up with illegible symbols like
CoglPipelineFragmentBackendGlslPrivate.
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.
When enabling a unit that was disabled from a previous flush pipeline
it was forgetting to rebind the right texture unit so it wouldn't
work. This was causing the redhand to disappear when using the fixed
function backend in test-cogl-multitexture if anything else is added
to the scene.
The GLES2 wrapper no longer needs to generate any fragment shader
state because the GLSL pipeline backend will always give the wrapper a
custom fragment shader. This simplifies a lot of the state comparison
done by the wrapper. The fog generation is also removed even though
it's actually part of the vertex shader because only the fixed
function pipeline backend actually calls the fog functions so it would
be disabled when using any of the other backends anyway. We can fix
this when the two shader backends also start generating vertex
shaders.
Previously the flag to mark the differences for the alpha test
function and reference value were conflated into one. However this is
awkward when generating shader code to simulate the alpha testing for
GLES 2 because in that case changing the function would need a
different program but changing the reference value just requires
updating a uniform. This patch makes the function and reference have
their own state flags.
Since d5634e37 the sliced texture backend now works in terms of
CoglTexture2Ds so there's no need to have special casing for
overriding the texture of a pipeline layer with a GL handle. Instead
we can just use cogl_pipeline_set_layer_texture with the
CoglHandle. The special _cogl_pipeline_set_layer_gl_texture_slice
function has now been removed and parts of the code for comparing
materials have been simplified.
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
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.
