Move the private Backend API to a separate header.
This also allows us to finally move the class vtable and instance
structure to a separate file and plug the visibility hole that left
the Backend class bare for everyone to poke into.
After commit 8dd8fbdb some errors appear if you try work directly
against cally:
* cally.pc.in removed some elements. After install clutter, doing
pkg-config --cflags cally-1.0
fails due missing winsys
* cally headers were moved from clutter-1.0/cally to
clutter-1.0/clutter/cally. Applications using it (yes I know,
nobody is officially using it) would require to:
* Change their include.
* Add directly a dependency to cally, in order to use the cally.pc
file with the correct directory include.
Note: Take into account that accessibility support still works (ie:
clutter_get_accessibility_enabled). This bug only prevents
applications to work directly against cally (ie: create a CallyActor
subclass)

Like we do for the Quartz backend, we should turn on the -xobjective-c
compiler flag for the Fruity backend.
This does not mean that the backend actually works.
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 splits out all the clutter_paint_volume code from clutter-actor.c
into clutter-paint-volume.c. Since clutter-actor.c and
clutter-paint-volume.c both needed the functionality of
_fully_transform_vertices, this function has now been moved to
clutter-utils.c as _clutter_util_fully_transform_vertices.
*** WARNING: THIS COMMIT CHANGES THE BUILD ***
Do not recurse into the backend directories to build private, internal
libraries.
We only recurse from clutter/ into the cogl sub-directory; from there,
we don't recurse any further. All the backend-specific code in Cogl and
Clutter is compiled conditionally depending on the macros defined by the
configure script.
We still recurse from the top-level directory into doc, clutter and
tests, because gtk-doc and tests do not deal nicely with non-recursive
layouts.
This change makes Clutter compile slightly faster, and cleans up the
build system, especially when dealing with introspection data.
Ideally, we also want to make Cogl part of the top-level build, so that
we can finally drop the sed trick to change the shared library from the
GIR before compiling it.
Currently disabled:
‣ OSX backend
‣ Fruity backend
Currently enabled but untested:
‣ EGL backend
‣ Windows backend
Instead of doing the shlib trick, build ClutterJson (if needed) inside
the top-level clutter/ directory - similar to a non-recursive layout.
Hopefully, one day, we'll be able to do this with a real non-recursive
layout.
The keysyms defines in clutter-keysyms.h are generated from the X11 key
symbols headers by doing the equivalent of a pass of sed from XK_* to
CLUTTER_*. This might lead to namespace collisions, down the road.
Instead, we should use the CLUTTER_KEY_* namespace.
This commit includes the script, taken from GDK, that parses the X11
key symbols and generates two headers:
- clutter-keysyms.h: the default included header, with CLUTTER_KEY_*
- clutter-keysyms-compat.h: the compatibility header, with CLUTTER_*
The compat.h header file is included if CLUTTER_DISABLE_DEPRECATED is
not defined - essentially deprecating all the old key symbols.
This does not change any ABI and, assuming that an application or
library is not compiling with CLUTTER_DISABLE_DEPRECATED, the source
compatibility is still guaranteed.
Make sure we don't use deprecated API internally by adding
CLUTTER_DISABLE_DEPRECATED to the AM_CPPFLAGS.
This requires adding -UCLUTTER_DISABLE_DEPRECATED to the introspection
scanner CFLAGS, otherwise the deprecated API will never be introspected
and the data generated will not be compatible.
If we're depending on an uninstalled .gir, use --include-uninstalled.
We need to explicitly specify Cogl to let the scanner know it's also
uninstalled.

This patch merges in substantial work from
Emmanuele Bassi <ebassi@linux.intel.com>
* Use new introspection --include-uninstalled API since we don't want
to try to find the clutter-1.0.pc file before it's installed.
* Use --pkg-export for Clutter-1.0.gir, since we want the .gir file to
contain the associated pkg-config file.
* Drop the use of --pkg for dependencies; those come from the associated
.gir files. (Actually, --pkg is almost never needed)
* Add --quiet
http://bugzilla.clutter-project.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2292
--quiet has been added to g-ir-scanner in the 0.9.1 cycle. We really
want to be able to compile clutter with 0.6.14 to be able to reuse
gir files that are distributed in current distributions.
Use the INTROSPECTION_SCANNER_ARGS (previously unused) variable to
convey --quiet when necessary.

A TableLayout is a layout manager that allocates its children in rows
and columns. Each child is assigned to a cell (or more if a cell span
is set).
The supported child properties are:
• x-expand and y-expand: if this cell with try to allocate the
available extra space for the table.
• x-fill and y-fill: if the child will get all the space available in
the cell.
• x-align and y-align: if the child does not fill the cell, then
where the child will be aligned inside the cell.
• row-span and col-span: number of cells the child will allocate for
itself.
Also, the TableLayout has row-spacing and col-spacing for specifying
the space in pixels between rows and between columns.
We also include a simple test of the layout manager, and the
documentation updates.
The TableLayout was implemented starting from MxTable and
ClutterBoxLayout.

The introspection scanner does not include '.' by default, so it was
always using the installed copy of Clutter-1.0.gir. Which obviously
wouldn't work if we didn't have one.
Toolkits and applications not written in C might still need access to
the Cally API to write accessibility extensions based on it for their
own native elements.
The Clutter Accessibility Library is an implementation of the ATK,
the Accessibility Toolkit, which exposes Clutter actors to accessibility
tools. This allows not only writing accessible user interfaces, but also
allows testing and verification frameworks based on A11Y technologies to
inspect and test a Clutter scene graph.

The -Bsymbolic-functions linker flag allows to avoid intra-library
PLT jumps on ELF platforms. It is similar to the aliasing hack in
GLib and GTK+, but definitely less messy.
The configure script should look for the flags, in order to support
platforms/linkers that do not have it.
This adds a separate variable name "CLUTTER_SONAME_INFIX" to define the
infix for the clutter library that gets linked. Currently the WINSYS
corresponds to the directory we enter when building to compile the
window system and input support, but it is desirable to be able to
define multiple flavours that use the same WINSYS but should result in
different library names.
For example we are planning to combine the eglx and eglnative window
systems into one "egl" winsys but we will need to preserve the current
library names for the eglx and eglnative flavours.

docs: Add DeformEffect and PageTurnEffect to the API reference
effect: Add PageTurnEffect

offscreen-effect: Traslate the modelview with the offsets
docs: Fix Effect subclassing section
The marshallers we use for the signals are declared in a private header,
and it stands to reason that they should also be hidden in the shared
object by using the common '_' prefix. We are also using some direct
g_cclosure_marshal_* symbol from GLib, instead of consistently use the
clutter_marshal_* symbol.
DeformEffect is an abstract class that should be used to write effects
that change the geometry of an actor before submitting it to the GPU.
Just like the ShaderEffect class, DeformEffect renders the actor to
which it has been applied into an FBO; then it creates a mesh and stores
it inside a VBO. Sub-classes can control vertex attributes like
position, texel coordinates and the color.
As with a351ff2af earlier, distributing headers generated at configure
time conflicts with out of tree builds as the distributed headers will
be included first instead of including the generated ones.
clutter-jon.h is generated at configure time, we should not distribute it.
This caused a build issue when compiling from a tarballs and out of tree
builds as we ended up with two clutter-json.h one in $(top_srcdir)/json
and the other in $(top_builddir)/json and picked up the wrong one
($(top_srcdir)/json is included first in the include search path).
A simple, GLSL shader-based blur effect.
The blur shader is taken straight from the test-shader.c interactive
test case. It's a fairly clunky, inefficient and visually incorrect
implementation of a box blur, but it's all we have right now until I
figure out a way to do multi-pass shading with the current API.
The ShaderEffect class is an abstract base type for shader-based
effects. GLSL-based effects should be implemented by sub-classing
ShaderEffect and overriding ActorMeta::set_actor() to set the source
code of the shader, and Effect::pre_paint() to update the uniform
values, if any.
The ShaderEffect has a generic API for sub-classes to set the values
of the uniforms defined by their shaders, and it uses the shader
types we defined for ClutterShader, to avoid re-inventing the wheel
every time.
The OffscreenEffect class is meant to be used to implement Effect
sub-classes that create an offscreen framebuffer and redirect the
actor's paint sequence there. The OffscreenEffect is useful for
effects using fragment shaders.
Any shader-based effect being applied to an actor through an offscreen
buffer should be used before painting the resulting target material and
not for every actor. This means that doing:
pre_paint: cogl_program_use(program)
set up offscreen buffer
paint: [ actors ] → offscreen buffer → target material
post_paint: paint target material
cogl_program_use(null)
Is not correct. Unfortunately, we cannot really do:
post_paint: cogl_program_use(program)
paint target material
cogl_program_use(null)
Because the OffscreenEffect::post_paint() implementation also pops the
offscreen buffer and re-instates the previous framebuffer:
post_paint: cogl_program_use(program)
change frame buffer ← ouch!
paint target material
cogl_program_use(null)
One way to fix it is to allow using the shader right before painting
the target material - which means adding a new virtual inside the
OffscreenEffect class vtable in additions to the ones defined by the
parent Effect class.
The newly-added paint_target() virtual allows the correct sequence of
actions by adding an entry point for sub-classes to wrap the "paint
target material" operation with custom code, in order to implement the
case above correctly as:
post_paint: change frame buffer
cogl_program_use(program)
paint target material
cogl_program_use(null)
The added upside is that sub-classes of OffscreenEffect involving
shaders really just need to override the prepare() and paint_target()
virtuals, since the pre_paint() and post_paint() do all that's needed.
ClutterEffect is an abstract class that should be used to apply effects
on generic actors.
The ClutterEffect class just defines what an effect should implement; it
could be defined as an interface, but we might want to add some default
behavior dependent on the internal state at a later point.
The effect API applies to any actor, so we need to provide a way to
assign an effect to an actor, and let ClutterActor call the Effect
methods during the paint sequence.
Once an effect is attached to an actor we will perform the paint in this
order:
• Effect::pre_paint()
• Actor::paint signal emission
• Effect::post_paint()
Since an effect might collide with the Shader class, we either allow a
shader or an effect for the time being.
We need to tell the introspection scanner all the dependencies we
require, including the pkg-config name to use when compiling the
GIR file into a typelib object.
ClickAction adds "clickable" semantics to an actor. It provides all
the business logic to emit a high-level "clicked" signal from the
various low-level signals inside ClutterActor.

AlignConstraint is a simple constraint that keeps an actor's position
aligned to the width or height of another actor, multiplied by an
alignment factor.
The Constraint base, abstract class should be used to implement Actor
modifiers that affect the way an actor is sized or positioned inside a
fixed layout manager.
DragAction is an Action sub-class that provides dragging capabilities to
any actor. DragAction has:
• drag-begin, drag-motion and drag-end signals, relaying the event
information like coordinates, button and modifiers to user code;
• drag-threshold property, for delaying the drag start by a given
amount of pixels;
• drag-handle property, to allow using other actors as the drag
handle.
• drag-axis property, to allow constraining the dragging to a specific
axis.
An interactive test demonstrating the various features is also provided.
ClutterAction is an abstract class that should be used as the ancestor
for objects that change how an actor behaves when dealing with events
coming from user input.
ClutterActorMeta is a base, abstract class that can be used to derive
classes that are attached to a ClutterActor instance in order to modify
the way an actor is painted, sized/positioned or responds to events.
A typed container for ActorMeta instances is also provided to the
sub-classes can be attached to an Actor.
ClutterAnimator is a class for managing the animation of multiple
properties of multiple actors over time with keyframing of values.
The Animator class is meant to be used to effectively describe
animations using the ClutterScript definition format, and to construct
complex implicit animations from the ground up.

The SDL API is far too limited for the windowing system needs of
Clutter; the status of the SDL backend was always experimental, and
since the Windows platform is supported by a native backend there is
no point in having the SDL backend around any more.
The win32 backend now handles the WM_SETCURSOR message and sets a
fully transparent cursor if the cursor-visible property has been
cleared on the stage. The icon is stored in the library via a resource
file. The instance handle for the DLL is needed to load the resource
so there is now a DllMain function to grab the handle.
Some source files should not be passed through the introspection parser,
as they are fully private and do not expose any valuable API.
Also the clutter-profile.h header is private and should not be
installed.
UProf is a small library that aims to help applications/libraries provide
domain specific reports about performance. It currently provides high
precision timer primitives (rdtsc on x86) and simple counters, the ability
to link statistics between optional components at runtime and makes report
generation easy.
This adds initial accounting for:
- Total mainloop time
- Painting
- Picking
- Layouting
- Idle time
The timing done by uprof is of wall clock time. It's not based on stochastic
samples we simply sample a counter at the start and end. When dealing with
the complexities of GPU drivers and with various kinds of IO this form of
profiling can be quite enlightening as it will be able to represent where
your application is blocking unlike tools such as sysprof.
To enable uprof accounting you must configure Clutter with --enable-profile
and have uprof-0.2 installed from git://git.moblin.org/uprof
If you want to see a report of statistics when Clutter applications exit you
should export CLUTTER_PROFILE_OUTPUT_REPORT=1 before running them.
Just a final word of caution; this stuff is new and the manual nature of
adding uprof instrumentation means it is prone to some errors when modifying
code. This just means that when you question strange results don't rule out
a mistake in the instrumentation. Obviously though we hope the benfits out
weigh e.g. by focusing on very key stats and by having automatic reporting.
• The debug flags are pre-processor ones, so they should be listed
inside AM_CPPFLAGS.
• Clutter's publicly exported symbols match the following regular
expression:

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.
for the marshal files $(srcdir) was getting prefixed twice since my last
commit (2cc88f1140) since it was already being prefixed including
Makefile.am. The problem with prefixing it in the includer file though is
that the Make variable substitutions like :.list=.h mean we end up
generating into the $(srcdir). This removes the prefix added in
clutter/Makefile.am
We were also missing a $(srcdir) prefix when setting EXTRA_DIST
FlowLayout is a layout manager that arranges its children in a
reflowing line; the orientation controls the major axis for the
layout: horizontal, for reflow on the Y axis, and vertical, for
reflow on the X axis.
Instead of overloading ClutterChildMeta with both container and layout
metadata and delegate to every LayoutManager implementation to keep a
backpointer to the layout manager instance, we can simply subclass
ChildMeta into LayoutMeta and presto! everything works out pretty well
for everyone.
A BinLayout is a simple layout manager that allocates a single cell,
providing alignment on both the horizontal and vertical axis.
If the container associated to the BinLayout has more than one child,
the preferred size returned by the layout manager will be as big as
the maximum of the children preferred sizes; the allocation will be
applied to all children - but it will still depend on each child
preferred size and the BinLayout horizontal and vertical alignment
properties.
The supported alignment properties are:
* center: align the child by centering it
* start: align the child at the top or left border of the layout
* end: align the child at the bottom or right border of the layout
* fill: expand the child to fill the size of the layout
* fixed: let the child position itself
The LayoutManager class is an abstract proxy for the size requesition
and size allocation process in ClutterActor.
A ClutterLayoutManager sub-class must implement get_preferred_width(),
get_preferred_height() and allocate(); a ClutterContainer using the
LayoutManager API will then proxy the corresponding Actor virtual
functions to the LayoutManager instance. This allows having a generic
"blank" ClutterActor sub-class, implementing the ClutterContainer
interface, which leaves only the layout management implementation to
the application developers.
The rules to create signal marshallers and enumeration GTypes are
usually copied and pasted all over different projects, though they
are pretty generic and, given a little bit of parametrization, can
be put in separate Makefile.am files and included whenever needed.
Instead of using ClutterActor for the base class of the Stage
implementation we should extend the StageWindow interface with
the required bits (geometry, realization) and use a simple object
class.
This require a wee bit of changes across Backend, Stage and
StageWindow, even though it's mostly re-shuffling.
First of all, StageWindow should get new virtual functions:
* geometry:
- resize()
- get_geometry()
* realization
- realize()
- unrealize()
This covers all the bits that we use from ClutterActor currently
inside the stage implementations.
The ClutterBackend::create_stage() virtual function should create
a StageWindow, and not an Actor (it should always have been; the
fact that it returned an Actor was a leak of the black magic going
on underneath). Since we never guaranteed ABI compatibility for
the Backend class, this is not a problem.
Internally to ClutterStage we can finally drop the shenanigans of
setting/unsetting actor flags on the implementation: if the realization
succeeds, for instance, we set the REALIZED flag on the Stage and
we're done.
As an initial proof of concept, the X11 and GLX stage implementations
have been ported to the New World Order(tm) and show no regressions.
