df21e20f65 Adds CoglError api
Although we use GLib internally in Cogl we would rather not leak GLib
api through Cogl's own api, except through explicitly namespaced
cogl_glib_ / cogl_gtype_ feature apis.

One of the benefits we see to not leaking GLib through Cogl's public API
is that documentation for Cogl won't need to first introduce the Glib
API to newcomers, thus hopefully lowering the barrier to learning Cogl.

This patch provides a Cogl specific typedef for reporting runtime errors
which by no coincidence matches the typedef for GError exactly.  If Cogl
is built with --enable-glib (default) then developers can even safely
assume that a CoglError is a GError under the hood.

This patch also enforces a consistent policy for when NULL is passed as
an error argument and an error is thrown. In this case we log the error
and abort the application, instead of silently ignoring it. In common
cases where nothing has been implemented to handle a particular error
and/or where applications are just printing the error and aborting
themselves then this saves some typing. This also seems more consistent
with language based exceptions which usually cause a program to abort if
they are not explicitly caught (which passing a non-NULL error signifies
in this case)

Since this policy for NULL error pointers is stricter than the standard
GError convention, there is a clear note in the documentation to warn
developers that are used to using the GError api.

(cherry picked from commit b068d5ea09ab32c37e8c965fc8582c85d1b2db46)

Note: Since we can't change the Cogl 1.x api the patch was changed to
not rename _error_quark() functions to be _error_domain() functions and
although it's a bit ugly, instead of providing our own CoglError type
that's compatible with GError we simply #define CoglError to GError
unless Cogl is built with glib disabled.

Note: this patch does technically introduce an API break since it drops
the cogl_error_get_type() symbol generated by glib-mkenum (Since the
CoglError enum was replaced by a CoglSystemError enum) but for now we
are assuming that this will not affect anyone currently using the Cogl
API. If this does turn out to be a problem in practice then we would be
able to fix this my manually copying an implementation of
cogl_error_get_type() generated by glib-mkenum into a compatibility
source file and we could also define the original COGL_ERROR_ enums for
compatibility too.

Note: another minor concern with cherry-picking this patch to the 1.14
branch is that an api scanner would be lead to believe that some APIs
have changed, and for example the gobject-introspection parser which
understands the semantics of GError will not understand the semantics of
CoglError. We expect most people that have tried to use
gobject-introspection with Cogl already understand though that it is not
well suited to generating bindings of the Cogl api anyway and we aren't
aware or anyone depending on such bindings for apis involving GErrors.
(GnomeShell only makes very-very minimal use of Cogl via the gjs
bindings for the cogl_rectangle and cogl_color apis.)

The main reason we have cherry-picked this patch to the 1.14 branch
even given the above concerns is that without it it would become very
awkward for us to cherry-pick other beneficial patches from master.

54735dec84 Switch use of primitive glib types to c99 equivalents
The coding style has for a long time said to avoid using redundant glib
data types such as gint or gchar etc because we feel that they make the
code look unnecessarily foreign to developers coming from outside of the
Gnome developer community.

Note: When we tried to find the historical rationale for the types we
just found that they were apparently only added for consistent syntax
highlighting which didn't seem that compelling.

Up until now we have been continuing to use some of the platform
specific type such as gint{8,16,32,64} and gsize but this patch switches
us over to using the standard c99 equivalents instead so we can further
ensure that our code looks familiar to the widest range of C developers
who might potentially contribute to Cogl.

So instead of using the gint{8,16,32,64} and guint{8,16,32,64} types this
switches all Cogl code to instead use the int{8,16,32,64}_t and
uint{8,16,32,64}_t c99 types instead.

Instead of gsize we now use size_t

For now we are not going to use the c99 _Bool type and instead we have
introduced a new CoglBool type to use instead of gboolean.

185630085c Add -Wmissing-declarations to maintainer flags and fix problems
This option to GCC makes it give a warning whenever a global function
is defined without a declaration. This should catch cases were we've
defined a function but forgot to put it in a header. In that case it
is either only used within one file so we should make it static or we
should declare it in a header.

The following changes where made to fix problems:

• Some functions were made static

• cogl-path.h (the one containing the 1.0 API) was split into two
  files, one defining the functions and one defining the enums so that
  cogl-path.c can include the enum and function declarations from the
  2.0 API as well as the function declarations from the 1.0 API.

• cogl2-clip-state has been removed. This only had one experimental
  function called cogl_clip_push_from_path but as this is unstable we
  might as well remove it favour of the equivalent cogl_framebuffer_*
  API.

• The GLX, SDL and WGL winsys's now have a private header to define
  their get_vtable function instead of directly declaring in the C
  file where it is called.

• All places that were calling COGL_OBJECT_DEFINE need to have the
  cogl_is_whatever function declared so these have been added either
  as a public function or in a private header.

• Some files that were not including the header containing their
  function declarations have been fixed to do so.

• Any unused error quark functions have been removed. If we later want
  them we should add them back one by one and add a declaration for
  them in a header.

• _cogl_is_framebuffer has been renamed to cogl_is_framebuffer and
  made a public function with a declaration in cogl-framebuffer.h

• Similarly for CoglOnscreen.

• cogl_vdraw_indexed_attributes is called
  cogl_framebuffer_vdraw_indexed_attributes in the header. The
  definition has been changed to match the header.

• cogl_index_buffer_allocate has been removed. This had no declaration
  and I'm not sure what it's supposed to do.

• CoglJournal has been changed to use the internal CoglObject macro so
  that it won't define an exported cogl_is_journal symbol.

• The _cogl_blah_pointer_from_handle functions have been removed.
  CoglHandle isn't used much anymore anyway and in the few places
  where it is used I think it's safe to just use the implicit cast
  from void* to the right type.

• The test-utils.h header for the conformance tests explicitly
  disables the -Wmissing-declaration option using a pragma because all
  of the tests declare their main function without a header. Any
  mistakes relating to missing declarations aren't really important
  for the tests.

• cogl_quaternion_init_from_quaternion and init_from_matrix have been
  given declarations in cogl-quaternion.h

c6528c4b6c Start removing _EXP defines and improves some docs
Originally we decided to use #define tricks to rename all experimental
symbols so that they had an _EXP suffix so it would be a bit clearer for
those wanting to check for ABI changes that they shouldn't worry about
these experimental symbols.

We feel now though that the defines are a bit more hassle than they are
really worth, since they are one extra thing to remember when coding,
they make using gdb slightly more awkward since you have to use the real
symbol name to set breakpoints and we already have a mechanism for
declaring symbols as experimental via gtk-doc that can be used by anyone
wanting to check for ABI changes.

Instead of just using a script to remove all the #defines we are going
to go through them manually because we need to make sure the symbols
are marked as unstable via gtk-doc. This patch does a first batch of
define removals and in fact some of the symbols didn't have any
documentation at all so that needed to be added too.

6253b09c69 texture-2d-sliced: make CoglTexture2DSliced public
This make the CoglTexture2DSliced type public and adds
cogl_texture_2d_sliced_new_with_size() as an experimental API that can
be used to construct a sliced texture without any initial data.
