Instead of piggybacking on the EGL backend, let's create a small
ClutterBackend for the CEx100 platforms. This allows us to handle the
CEx100-specific details in a much cleaner way.
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.
Delimit the points in the configure script that should save the state,
so that running the script multiple times doesn't require starting from
scratch even if it didn't terminate successfully.
The event handling through tslib hasn't been tested in a while, and it
hasn't been ported to the device manager machinery either. We are still
considering whether or not it should be entirely removed, since evdev is
supposed to be a better way to handle events not coming from an existing
windowing system.
Instead of defining new symbols for the windowing systems enabled at
configure time, we can reuse the same symbols for both the compile time
and run time checks, e.g.:
#ifdef CLUTTER_WINDOWING_X11
if (clutter_check_windowing_backend (CLUTTER_WINDOWING_X11))
/* use the clutter_x11_* API */
else
#endif
#ifdef CLUTTER_WINDOWING_WIN32
if (clutter_check_windowing_backend (CLUTTER_WINDOWING_WIN32))
/* use the clutter_win32_* API */
#endif
This scheme allows us to ensure that the input system namespace is free
for us to use and select at run time in later versions of Clutter.
Perform the check for enabling platform-specific backends conditionally
on the 'check' value, instead of unconditionally.
Also, rename the configure switches for the backends to have a '-backend'
suffix, to avoid collisions and provide a more descriptive name.
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.

This commit introduces a new flavour for Clutter, that uses GDK
for handling all window system specific interactions (except for
creating the cogl context, as cogl does not know about GDK), including
in particular events. This is not compatible with the X11 (glx)
flavour, and this is reflected by the different soname (libclutter-gdk-1.0.so),
as all X11 specific functions and classes are not available. If you
wish to be compatible, you should check for CLUTTER_WINDOWING_X11.
Other than that, this backend should be on feature parity with X11,
including XInput 2, XSettings and EMWH (with much, much less code)

Since the image backend is something now dealt with by Cogl there is no
need to check the experimental status of the backend in the Clutter
configure script.

GLX is now totally abstracted by Cogl so the "glx" flavour is actually
only used to determine the soname of clutter now so we don't actually
have to check for the glx header or that libGL provides any GLX symbols.

Just like we turn everything on with --disable-deprecated, we have to
turn everything off with --enable-deprecated. This means disabling the
deprecation warnings from the compiler as well.
All 2D coordinate spaces in Cogl have their origin at the top-left so we
shouldn't be flipping the coordinates we pass to
cogl_framebuffer_swap_region to be relative to the bottom of the
framebuffer.
This bumps the Cogl version requirement to 1.7.5 since we've had to fix
a bug in the semantics of cogl_framebuffer_swap_region.

Clutter may be used together with GTK+, which indirectly may use
XInput2 too, so the cookie data must persist when both are handling
events.
What happens now in a nutshell is, Clutter is only guaranteed to allocate
the cookie itself after XNextEvent(), and only frees the cookie if its
XGetEventData() call allocated the cookie data.
The X[Get|Free]EventData() calls happen now in clutter-event-x11.c as
hypothetically different event translators could also handle other set
of X Generic Events, or other libraries handling events for that matter.
If we're building on/for Windows, set 'win32' as the default flavour; if
we're building on OS X, set 'osx' as the default flavour. For everything
else, use 'glx'.

Since some experimental API in Cogl that Clutter uses has changed this
bumps our dependency up to 1.7.3 before landing the corresponding build
fixes for clutter to bring it in line with the Cogl changes.
This adds a performance tracking framework that can run a set of tests over
specified git revisions. The ruby script for generating the reports comes from
similar performance tracking in GEGL. The framework permits evaluating new
tests against older version of clutter.
The tests themselves go through a few hoops for disabling framerate limiting in
both mesa and clutter.
When running make check the tests will be run and lines of the form:
@ test-state: 40.51 fps
will be left in the output, a script can scrape these lines out of a build log
on a buildbot to in other ways track performance.
Since GLX and EGL are abstracted by Cogl the two backends are both
implementing everything using the Cogl API and they are almost
identical.
This updates the egl backend to support everything that the glx backend
supports. Now that EGL and GLX are abstracted by Cogl, the plan is that
we will squash the clutter-egl/glx backends into one. Since the EGL
backend in clutter can conditionally not depend on X11 we will use the
EGL backend as the starting point of our common backend.

In test-pixmap.c instead of using the GdkPixbuf API to load the
redhand.png image we now use the cairo API to load the png into a xlib
surface which wraps our Pixmap.
This test was the last thing that depended on the gdk API and since
it's more concise to use Cairo here which is a hard dependency for
Clutter this change means we avoid depending on GdkPixbuf directly.
Cogl has now been split out into a standalone project with a separate
repository at git://git.gnome.org/cogl. From now on the Clutter build
will now simply look for a cogl-1.0 pkg-config file to find a suitable
Cogl library to link against at build time.
We want to be able to split Cogl out as a standalone project but there
are still some window systems that aren't natively supported by Cogl.
This allows Clutter to support those window systems directly but still
work with a standalone Cogl library.
This also ensures we set the SUPPORT_STUB conditional in clutter's
configure.ac when building for win32/osx and wayland.
This adds a simple standalone Cogl application that can be used to
smoke test a standalone build of Cogl without Clutter.
This also adds an x11-foreign app that shows how a toolkit can ask Cogl
to draw to an X Window that it owns instead of Cogl being responsible
for automatically creating and mapping an X Window for CoglOnscreen.
This allows more detailed control over the driver and winsys features
that Cogl should have. Cogl is designed so it can support multiple
window systems simultaneously so we have enable/disable options for
the drivers (gl vs gles1 vs gles2) and options for the individual window
systems; currently glx and egl. Egl is broken down into an option
for each platform.
The GDL API is used for example on intel ce4100 (aka Sodaville) based
systems as a way to allocate memory that can be composited using the
platforms overlay hardware. This updates the Cogl EGL winsys and the
support in Clutter so we can continue to support these platforms.
As was recently done for the GLX window system code, this commit moves
the EGL window system code down from the Clutter backend code into a
Cogl winsys.
Note: currently the cogl/configure.ac is hard coded to only build the GLX
winsys so currently this is only available when building Cogl as part
of Clutter.
The "DRM_SURFACELESS" EGL platform was invented when we were adding the
wayland backend to Clutter but in the end we added a dedicated backend
instead of extending the EGL backend so actually the platform name isn't
used.
This backend hasn't been used for years now and so because it is
untested code and almost certainly doesn't work any more it would be a
burdon to continue trying to maintain it. Considering that we are now
looking at moving OpenGL window system integration code down from
Clutter backends into Cogl that will be easier if we don't have to
consider this backend.
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 adds an autogen.sh, configure.ac and build/autotool files etc under
clutter/cogl and makes some corresponding Makefile.am changes that make
it possible to build and install Cogl as a standalone library.
Some notable things about this are:
A standalone installation of Cogl installs 3 pkg-config files;
cogl-1.0.pc, cogl-gl-1.0.pc and cogl-2.0.pc. The second is only for
compatibility with what clutter installed though I'm not sure that
anything uses it so maybe we could remove it. cogl-1.0.pc is what
Clutter would use if it were updated to build against a standalone cogl
library. cogl-2.0.pc is what you would use if you were writing a
standalone Cogl application.
A standalone installation results in two libraries currently, libcogl.so
and libcogl-pango.so. Notably we don't include a major number in the
sonames because libcogl supports two major API versions; 1.x as used by
Clutter and the experimental 2.x API for standalone applications.
Parallel installation of later versions e.g. 3.x and beyond will be
supportable either with new sonames or if we can maintain ABI then we'll
continue to share libcogl.so.
The headers are similarly not installed into a directory with a major
version number since the same headers are shared to export the 1.x and
2.x APIs (The only difference is that cogl-2.0.pc ensures that
-DCOGL_ENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_2_0_API is used). Parallel installation of
later versions is not precluded though since we can either continue
sharing or later add a major version suffix.
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.
On win32, test scripts are created with a .exe extension.
Under mingw, a .exe script is launched in 16 bit compatibility mode (through
ntvdm), and so it just does not run.

GCC by default allows pointer arithmetic on void* pointers and treats
them as having a size of 1 byte. This is non-standard behaviour and
causes errors on some compilers so we should try to avoid
it. -Wpointer-arith warns about these cases.
