d40cdfa3e1 Moves all GLX code down from Clutter to Cogl
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.

2ddab50ae4 cogl-debug: Add a debug option for tracing clipping
This adds a COGL_DEBUG=clipping option that reports how the clip is
being flushed. This is needed to determine whether the scissor,
stencil clip planes or software clipping is being used.

c4a94439de cogl-debug: Split the flags to support more than 32
The CoglDebugFlags are now stored in an array of unsigned ints rather
than a single variable. The flags are accessed using macros instead of
directly peeking at the cogl_debug_flags variable. The index values
are stored in the enum rather than the actual mask values so that the
enum doesn't need to be more than 32 bits wide. The hope is that the
code to determine the index into the array can be optimized out by the
compiler so it should have exactly the same performance as the old
code.

5f6cb16e2b debug: Adds a COGL_DEBUG=disable-fast-read-pixel option
COGL_DEBUG=disable-fast-read-pixel can be used to disable the
optimization for reading a single pixel colour back by looking at the
geometry in the journal and not involving the GPU. With this disabled we
will always flush the journal, rendering to the framebuffer and then use
glReadPixels to get the result.

0087910574 arbfp: Adds an ARBfp program cache
This adds a cache (A GHashTable) of ARBfp programs and before ever
starting to code-generate a new program we will always first try and
find an existing program in the cache. This uses _cogl_pipeline_hash and
_cogl_pipeline_equal to hash and compare the keys for the cache.

There is a new COGL_DEBUG=disable-program-caches option that can disable
the cache for debugging purposes.

e292d28c56 Add a COGL_DEBUG option to disable software clipping
This adds a debug option called disable-software-clipping which causes
the journal to always log the clip stack state rather than trying to
manually clip rectangles.

4d0b167be4 Add a COGL_DEBUG option to disable the fixed function pipeline backend
This adds COGL_DEBUG=disable-fixed to disable the fixed function
pipeline backend. This is needed to test the GLSL shader generation
because otherwise the fixed function backend would always override it.

460e4b90d3 debug: Adds a COGL_DEBUG=wireframe option
This adds a COGL_DEBUG=wireframe option to visualize the underlying
geometry of the primitives being drawn via Cogl. This works for triangle
list, triangle fan, triangle strip and quad (internal only) primitives.
It also works for indexed vertex arrays.

3203c2382f Replace the disable-npots tool with a COGL_DEBUG option
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.

9d4ad1584d profile: Update to uprof-0.3 dep for --enable-profile
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:

3b4b5ba01c debug: Adds a COGL_DEBUG=disable-pbos debug option
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.

The scanline path rasterizer has been removed because the paths can be
drawn with the tesselator instead. The option therefore no longer does
anything.

8458fb7e20 Add a CoglTexturePixmapX11 texture backend
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.

1cc3ae6944 CoglMaterial: Implements sparse materials design
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.

acc44161c1 material: Adds backend abstraction for fragment processing
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

72f4ddf532 Remove mentions of the FSF address
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.

210e618e6d cogl debug: Makes COGL_DEBUG=all|verbose|help more useful
COGL_DEBUG=all wasn't previously useful as there are several options
that change the behaviour of Cogl and all together wouldn't help anyone
debug anything.

This patch makes it so COGL_DEBUG=all|verbose now only enables options
that don't change the behaviour of Cogl, i.e. they only affect the
amount of noise we'll print to a terminal.

In addition to that this patch also improves the output from
COGL_DEBUG=help so we now print a table of options including one liner
descriptions of what each option enables.

0f5f4e8645 cogl: improves header and coding style consistency
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.

d4ffa2f819 [debug] Adds a COGL_DEBUG=force-scanline-paths
For a long time now the GLES driver for Cogl has supported a fallback
scanline rasterizer for filling paths when no stencil buffer is available,
but now that we build the same cogl-primitives code for GL and GLES I
thought it may sometimes be useful for debugging to force Cogl to use the
scanline rasterizer instead of the current stencil buffer approach.

2126bf60fd [debug] Adds a COGL_DEBUG=matrices debug option
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.

0bce7eac53 Intial Re-layout of the Cogl source code and introduction of a Cogl Winsys
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.
