The uniform names are now stored in a GPtrArray instead of a linked
list. There is also a hash table to speed up converting names to
locations.

Previously the uniform overrides were stored in a linked list. Now
they are stored in a g_malloc'd array. The values are still tightly
packed so that there is only a value for each uniform that has a
corresponding bit in override_mask. The allocated size of the array
always exactly corresponds to the number of bits set in the
override_mask. This means that when a new uniform value is set on a
pipeline it will have to grow the array and copy the old values
in. The assumption is that setting a value for a new uniform is much
less frequent then setting a value for an existing uniform so it makes
more sense to optimise the latter.
The advantage of using an array is that we can quickly jump to right
boxed value given a uniform location by doing a population count in
the bitmask for the number of bits less than the given uniform
location. This can be done in O(1) time whereas the old approach using
a list would scale by the number of bits set.

This adds the following new public experimental functions to set
uniform values on a CoglPipeline:
void
cogl_pipeline_set_uniform_1f (CoglPipeline *pipeline,
int uniform_location,
float value);
void
cogl_pipeline_set_uniform_1i (CoglPipeline *pipeline,
int uniform_location,
int value);
void
cogl_pipeline_set_uniform_float (CoglPipeline *pipeline,
int uniform_location,
int n_components,
int count,
const float *value);
void
cogl_pipeline_set_uniform_int (CoglPipeline *pipeline,
int uniform_location,
int n_components,
int count,
const int *value);
void
cogl_pipeline_set_uniform_matrix (CoglPipeline *pipeline,
int uniform_location,
int dimensions,
int count,
gboolean transpose,
const float *value);
These are similar to the old functions used to set uniforms on a
CoglProgram. To get a value to pass in as the uniform_location there
is also:
int
cogl_pipeline_get_uniform_location (CoglPipeline *pipeline,
const char *uniform_name);
Conceptually the uniform locations are tied to the pipeline so that
whenever setting a value for a new pipeline the application is
expected to call this function. However in practice the uniform
locations are global to the CoglContext. The names are stored in a
linked list where the position in the list is the uniform location.
The global indices are used so that each pipeline can store a mask of
which uniforms it overrides. That way it is quicker to detect which
uniforms are different from the last pipeline that used the same
CoglProgramState so it can avoid flushing uniforms that haven't
changed. Currently the values are not actually compared which means
that it will only avoid flushing a uniform if there is a common
ancestor that sets the value (or if the same pipeline is being flushed
again - in which case the pipeline and its common ancestor are the
same thing).
The uniform values are stored in the big state of the pipeline as a
sparse linked list. A bitmask stores which values have been overridden
and only overridden values are stored in the linked list.

On GLES2, we need to specify an array size for the texture coord
varying array. Previously this size would be decided in one of the
following ways:
- For generated vertex shaders it is always the number of layers in
the pipeline.
- For generated fragment shaders it is the highest sampled texture
unit in the pipeline or the number of attributes supplied by the
primitive, whichever is higher.
- For user shaders it is usually the number of attributes supplied by
the primitive. However, if the application tries to compile the
shader and query the result before using it, it will always be at
least 4.
These shaders can quite easily end up with different values for the
declaration which makes it fail to link. This patch changes it so that
all of the shaders are generated with the maximum of the number of
texture attributes supplied by the primitive and the number of layers
in the pipeline. If this value changes then the shaders are
regenerated, including user shaders. That way all of the shaders will
always have the same value.

Since we've had several developers from admirable projects say they
would like to use Cogl but would really prefer not to pull in
gobject,gmodule and glib as extra dependencies we are investigating if
we can get to the point where glib is only an optional dependency.
Actually we feel like we only make minimal use of glib anyway, so it may
well be quite straightforward to achieve this.
This adds a --disable-glib configure option that can be used to disable
features that depend on glib.
Actually --disable-glib doesn't strictly disable glib at this point
because it's more helpful if cogl continues to build as we make
incremental progress towards this.
The first use of glib that this patch tackles is the use of
g_return_val_if_fail and g_return_if_fail which have been replaced with
equivalent _COGL_RETURN_VAL_IF_FAIL and _COGL_RETURN_IF_FAIL macros.

Both the GLSL and the ARBfp pipeline backends were using a variable
called last_used_for_pipeline to keep track of the last pipeline that
the shader or program state was used for. If this address is the same
as last time when the pipeline state is flushed then Cogl will only
flush the uniforms that have been modified, otherwise it will flush
all of them. The problem with this is that there was nothing to keep
that address alive so it could be destroyed and reused for a different
pipeline by the time the shader state is reused. This is quite likely
to happen in an application using legacy state because in that case
the shader state will always be used with a one-shot pipeline that
will likely be recycled in the next frame.
There is already a destroy callback to unref the shader state when the
pipeline is destroyed so this patch just makes that callback also
clear the last_used_for_pipeline pointer if it matches the pipeline
being destroyed.

It seems that cogl-context-private.h needs to be included before including

The CoglPipelineCache is now extended to store templates for state
affecting vertex shaders and combined programs. The GLSL fragend,
vertend and progend now uses this to get cached shaders and a program.
When a new pipeline is created it will now get hashed three times if
the GLSL backends are in use (once for the fragend, once for the
vertend and once for the progend). Ideally we should add some way for
the progend to check its cache before the fragends and vertends are
checked so that it can bypass them entirely if it can find a cached
combined program.
Previously the fragends had a separate private data pointer which was
used by the GLSL and ARBfp fragends to store a tiny struct containing
a single pointer to the ref-counted shader state. The space for the
private data pointer is reserved in all of the pipelines for all of
the potential backends. The vertends and progends however did this
differently by directly storing the pointer to the ref counted data
using cogl_object_set_user_data. This patch unifies the different
methods so that they all use cogl_object_set_user_data and the
fragends don't bother with the separate tiny allocation for the
private data. The private data pointer array has been removed from
CoglPipeline and the corresponding fragend virtual to free the private
data has also been removed because this can instead be done with the
destroy notify from the object user data.
The variable names used have been unified so that all of the vertends
and fragends name their data struct CoglPipelineShaderState and use a
variable called shader_state to refer to it. The progend uses
CoglPipelineProgramState and a variable called program_state.
This should also fix two potential bugs. the ARBfp fragend was
apprently leaking a reference to the private state when it creates the
private data because it was adding a reference before stroring the
pointer to the newly allocated data but the ref count is already set
to 1 on creation. The other potential bug is that the free function
for CoglPipeline was only calling the free_priv virtual for the
currently used fragend of the pipeline. The design of the fragends is
meant to allow a pipeline to have multiple fragend priv datas because
a child pipeline could be attaching its fragend data to the ancestor
and its allowed to pick a different fragend.
The GL or GLES library is now dynamically loaded by the CoglRenderer
so that it can choose between GL, GLES1 and GLES2 at runtime. The
library is loaded by the renderer because it needs to be done before
calling eglInitialize. There is a new environment variable called
COGL_DRIVER to choose between gl, gles1 or gles2.
The #ifdefs for HAVE_COGL_GL, HAVE_COGL_GLES and HAVE_COGL_GLES2 have
been changed so that they don't assume the ifdefs are mutually
exclusive. They haven't been removed entirely so that it's possible to
compile the GLES backends without the the enums from the GL headers.
When using GLX the winsys additionally dynamically loads libGL because
that also contains the GLX API. It can't be linked in directly because
that would probably conflict with the GLES API if the EGL is
selected. When compiling with EGL support the library links directly
to libEGL because it doesn't contain any GL API so it shouldn't have
any conflicts.
When building for WGL or OSX Cogl still directly links against the GL
API so there is a #define in config.h so that Cogl won't try to dlopen
the library.
Cogl-pango previously had a #ifdef to detect when the GL backend is
used so that it can sneakily pass GL_QUADS to
cogl_vertex_buffer_draw. This is now changed so that it queries the
CoglContext for the backend. However to get this to work Cogl now
needs to export the _cogl_context_get_default symbol and cogl-pango
needs some extra -I flags to so that it can include
cogl-context-private.h
cogl-ext-functions.h now contains definitions for all of the core GL
and GLES functions that we would normally link to directly. All of the
code has changed to access them through the cogl context pointer. The
GE macro now takes an extra parameter to specify the context because
the macro itself needs to make GL calls but various points in the Cogl
source use different names for the context variable.
Instead of storing all of the feature function pointers in the driver
specific data of the CoglContext they are now all stored directly in
CoglContext. There is a single header containing the description of
the functions which gets included by cogl-context.h. There is a single
function in cogl-feature-private.c to check for all of these
functions.
The name of the function pointer variables have been changed from
ctx->drv.pf_glWhatever to just ctx->glWhatever.
The feature flags that get set when an extension is available are now
separated from the table of extensions. This is necessary because
different extensions can mean different things on GLES and GL. For
example, having access to glMapBuffer implies read and write support
on GL but only write support on GLES. The flags are instead set in the
driver specific init function by checking whether the function
pointers were successfully resolved.
_cogl_feature_check has been changed to assume the feature is
supported if any of the listed extensions are available instead of
requiring all of them. This makes it more convenient to specify
alternate names for the extension. Nothing else had previously listed
more than one name for an extension so this shouldn't cause any
problems.
The uniforms for the alpha test reference value and point size on
GLES2 are updating using similar code. This generalizes the code so
that there is a static array of predefined builtin uniforms which
contains the uniform name, a pointer to a function to get the value
from the pipeline, a pointer to a function to update the uniform and a
flag representing which CoglPipelineState change affects the
uniform. The uniforms are then updated in a loop. This should simplify
adding more builtin uniforms.
There are several places where we need to compare the texture state of a
pipeline and sometimes we need to take into consideration if the
underlying texture has changed but other times we may only care to know
if the texture target has changed.
For example the fragends typically generate programs that they want to
share with all pipelines with equivalent fragment processing state, and
in this case when comparing pipelines we only care about the texture
targets since changes to the underlying texture won't affect the
programs generated.
Prior to this we had tried to handle this by passing around some special
flags to various functions that evaluate pipeline state to say when we
do/don't care about the texture data, but this wasn't working in all
cases and was more awkward to manage than the new approach.
Now we simply have two state bits:
COGL_PIPELINE_LAYER_STATE_TEXTURE_TARGET and
COGL_PIPELINE_LAYER_STATE_TEXTURE_DATA and CoglPipelineLayer has an
additional target member. Since all the appropriate code takes masks of
these state bits to determine what to evaluate we don't need any extra
magic flags.
The GLES2 wrapper is no longer needed because the shader generation is
done within the GLSL fragend and vertend and any functions that are
different for GLES2 are now guarded by #ifdefs.
Once the GLES2 wrapper is removed we won't be able to upload the
matrices with the fixed function API any more. The fixed function API
gives a global state for setting the matrix but if a custom shader
uniform is used for the matrices then the state is per
program. _cogl_matrix_stack_flush_to_gl is called in a few places and
it is assumed the current pipeline doesn't need to be flushed before
it is called. To allow these semantics to continue to work, on GLES2
the matrix flush now just stores a reference to the matrix stack in
the CoglContext. A pre_paint virtual is added to the progend which is
called whenever a pipeline is flushed, even if the same pipeline was
flushed already. This gives the GLSL progend a chance to upload the
matrices to the uniforms. The combined modelview/projection matrix is
only calculated if it is used. The generated programs end up never
using the modelview or projection matrix so it usually only has to
upload the combined matrix. When a matrix stack is flushed a reference
is taked to it by the pipeline progend and the age is stored so that
if the same state is used with the same program again then we don't
need to reupload the uniform.
When the GLES2 wrapper is removed we can't use the fixed function API
such as glColorPointer to set the builtin attributes. Instead the GLSL
progend now maintains a cache of attribute locations that are queried
with glGetAttribLocation. The code that previously maintained a cache
of the enabled texture coord arrays has been modified to also cache
the enabled vertex attributes under GLES2. The vertex attribute API is
now the only place that is using this cache so it has been moved into
cogl-vertex-attribute.c
The GLSL vertend is mostly only useful for GLES2. The fixed function
vertend is kept at higher priority than the GLSL vertend so it is
unlikely to be used in any other circumstances.
'progend' is short for 'program backend'. The progend is intended to
operate on combined state from a fragment backend and a vertex
backend. The progend has an 'end' function which is run whenever the
pipeline is flushed and the two pipeline change notification
functions. All of the progends are run whenever the pipeline is
flushed instead of selecting a single one because it is possible that
multiple progends may be in use for example if the vertends and
fragends are different. The GLSL progend will take the shaders
generated by the fragend and vertend and link them into a single
program. The fragend code has been changed to only generate the shader
and not the program. The idea is that pipelines can share fragment
shader objects even if their vertex state is different. The authority
for the progend needs to be the combined authority on the vertend and
fragend state.
