This time, in Clutter core.
The ObjC standard library provides a type called 'id', which obviously
requires any library to either drop the useful shadowed variable warning
or stop using 'id' as a variable name.
Yes, it's almost unbearably stupid. Well, at least it's not 'index' in
string.h, or 'y2' in math.h.
Currently, the memory management in ClutterScript is overly complicated.
The basic design tenet should be:
- ClutterScript owns a reference on every object it creates
This allows the Script instance to reliably handle the lifetime of the
instances from creation to disposal.
In case of unmerge, the Script instance should destroy any Actor
instance, except for the Stage, and release the reference it owns. The
Stage is special because it's really owned by Clutter itself, and it
should be destroyed explicitly.
When disposing the Script itself, it should just release the reference;
any parented actor, or any InitiallyUnowned instance, will then be
managed by the parent object, as they should, while every GObject
instance will go away, as documented.

The internal copy of JSON-GLib was meant to go away right after the 1.0
release, given that JSON-GLib was still young and relatively unknown.
Nowadays, many projects started depending on this little library, and
distributions ship it and keep it up to date.
Keeping a copy of JSON-GLib means keeping it up to date; unfortunately,
this would also imply updating the code not just for the API but for the
internal implementations.
Starting with the 1.2 release, Clutter preferably dependend on the
system copy; with the 1.4 release we stopped falling back automatically.
The 1.6 cycle finally removes the internal copy and requires a copy of
JSON-GLib installed on the target system in order to compile Clutter.
This adds a wrapper macro to clutter-private that will use
g_object_notify_by_pspec if it's compiled against a version of GLib
that is sufficiently new. Otherwise it will notify by the property
name as before by extracting the name from the pspec. The objects can
then store a static array of GParamSpecs and notify using those as
suggested in the documentation for g_object_notify_by_pspec.
Note that the name of the variable used for storing the array of
GParamSpecs is obj_props instead of properties as used in the
documentation because some places in Clutter uses 'properties' as the
name of a local variable.
Mose of the classes in Clutter have been converted using the script in
the bug report. Some classes have not been modified even though the
script picked them up as described here:
json-generator:
We probably don't want to modify the internal copy of JSON
behaviour-depth:
rectangle:
score:
stage-manager:
These aren't using the separate GParamSpec* variable style.
blur-effect:
win32/device-manager:
Don't actually define any properties even though it has the enum.
box-layout:
flow-layout:
Have some per-child properties that don't work automatically with
the script.
clutter-model:
The script gets confused with ClutterModelIter
stage:
Script gets confused because PROP_USER_RESIZE doesn't match
"user-resizable"
test-layout:
Don't really want to modify the tests
http://bugzilla.clutter-project.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2150
Up until now, the "behaviours" member of an actor definition was parsed
by the ClutterScript parser itself - even though it's not strictly
necessary.
In an effort to minimize the ad hoc code in the Script parser, we should
let ClutterActor handle all the special cases that involve
actor-specific members.
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.
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.

Currently, ClutterScriptParser will construct the object (using the
construct-only and construct parameters), apply the properties from
the ClutterScript definition, and eventuall will add children and
behaviours.
The construction phase should be more compartimentalized: the objects
should be constructed first and eventual children and behaviours
added. Then, once an object is requested or when the parsing process
has terminated, all the properties should be applied.
This change allows us to set up the actors before setting their
non-construct properties.
ClutterScript is currently a mix of parser-related code and
the ClutterScript object. All the parser-related code should
be moved inside a private class, ClutterScriptParser, inheriting
from JsonParser.
Instead of counting on a JsonNode pointer to survive we should take
a copy. This allows keeping unresolved properties across different
ClutterScript passes.
The block that allows setting a GObject property holding an object
instance is conditionally depending on the USE_PIXBUF define. This
makes it impossible to reference an object inside ClutterScript on
platforms not using GdkPixbuf.
The default floating point type for JSON is double precision; this means
that we need to conver to single precision when setting a property with
type G_TYPE_FLOAT.
JSON-GLib provides simple accessors for basic types so that we
can avoid getting the JsonNode out of a complex type. This makes
the code simpler to understand.
There have been changes in JSON-GLib upstream to clean up the
data structures, and facilitate introspection.
We still not use the updated JsonParser with the (private) JsonScanner
code, since it's a fork of GLib's GScanner.
The ClutterColor API has some inconsistencies:
- the string deserialization function does not match the rest of
the conversion function naming policy; the naming should be:
clutter_color_parse() -> clutter_color_from_string()
and the first parameter should be the ClutterColor that will
be set from the string, not the string itself (a GDK-ism).
- the fixed point API should not be exposed, especially in the
form of ClutterFixed values
- the non-fixed point HLS conversion functions do not make any
sense. The values returned should be:
hue := range [ 0, 360 ]
luminance := range [ 0, 1 ]
saturation := range [ 0, 1 ]
like the current fixed point API does. Returning a value in
the [ 0, 255 ] range is completely useless
- the clutter_color_equal() should be converted for its use inside
a GHashTable; a clutter_color_hash() should be added as well
- the second parameter of the clutter_color_shade() function should
be the shading factor, not the result (another GDK-ism). this way
the function call can be translated from this:
color.shade(out result, factor)
to the more natural:
color.shade(factor, out result)
This somewhat large commit fixes all these issues and updates the
internal users of the API.
Add annotations such as (transfer-none) (out) (element-type ClutterActor),
and so forth to the doc comments as appropriate.
The annotations added here are a combination of the annotations previously
in gir-repository for Clutter and annotations found in a review of all
return values with that were being parsed with a transfer of "full".

The easing modes for a ClutterAlpha can either be parsed by using
the enumeration "nickname" (the shorthand form of the enumeration
value) or by using the common naming policy used in other
animation frameworks, like:
easeInCubic
easeOutElastic
easeInOutBounce
The current Alpha value is an unsigned integer that can be used
implicitly as a fixed point value. This makes writing an alpha
function overshooting below and above the current range basically
impossible without complicating an already complex code, and
creating weird corner cases.
For this reason, the Alpha value should be defined as a floating
point normalized value, spanning a range between 0.0 and 1.0; in
order to allow overshooting, the valid range is extended one unit
below and one unit above, thus making it -1.0 .. 2.0.
This commit updates the various users of the ClutterAlpha API
and the tests cases.
This commit also removes all the current alpha functions exposed
in the public API.
* tests/interactive/test-pixmap.c (create_pixmap): Use a format
string instead of passing the error message directly to g_error.
* tests/interactive/test-easing.c (test_easing_main)
(on_button_press):
* tests/interactive/test-animation.c (on_button_press): Use
unsigned variables for the results from clutter_actor_get_size
otherwise it complains about the pointer signedness being
different.
* clutter/clutter-script.c (clutter_script_add_search_paths): Use
G_GSIZE_FORMAT instead of %d for a gsize parameter otherwise it
gets upset on 64-bit.

Bug 989 - Add a search path for clutter script assets
* clutter/clutter-script.h:
* clutter/clutter-script.c:
(clutter_script_finalize),
(clutter_script_add_search_paths),
(clutter_script_lookup_filename): Add the ability to define multiple
search paths inside ClutterScript and to look up a specific filename
inside those search paths. This is useful to define a set of
directories where the assets for a UI definition are and still
reference those assets by their name instead of the full path. (989,
based on a patch by Matthew Allum)
* clutter/clutter-texture.c:
(clutter_texture_set_custom_property): Use the newly added
clutter_script_lookup_filename() function.
* clutter/clutter-script.c: Be more explicit about the fact that
the script id is not the name of an actor, and that it is retrieved
by using clutter_get_script_id().
Fix merging of objects with the same id.
* clutter/clutter-script.c:
(json_object_end): If there already is an ObjectInfo under the
parsed id, merge the construction with the currently stored
state.

and behaviours, in case the ObjectInfo already has unresolved
items.
(clutter_script_construct_object): Fix a typo in the type check.
(clutter_script_init): Do not copy the key inside the hash
table holding the objects - we are already holding it inside
the value.
* clutter/clutter-script.c:
(clutter_script_construct_object): Mark top-level objects,
that is objects that don't have their ownership transferred
when building up a ClutterScript.
(object_info_free): Merge a fix from the stable branch, but
do not check the type - check whether the object is a top
level (we still need the ClutterActor type check in order to
call clutter_actor_destroy()).
