Texture allocation is now consistently handled lazily such that the
internal format can now be controlled using
cogl_texture_set_components() and cogl_texture_set_premultiplied()
before allocating the texture with cogl_texture_allocate(). This means
that the internal_format arguments to texture constructors are now
redundant and since most of the texture constructors now can't ever fail
the error arguments are also redundant. This now means we no longer
use CoglPixelFormat in the public api for describing the internal format
of textures which had been bad solution originally due to how specific
CoglPixelFormat is which is missleading when we don't support such
explicit control over the internal format.

Note: there are numerous API changes for functions currently marked
as 'unstable' which we don't think are in use by anyone depending on
a stable 1.x api. Compared to the original patch though this avoids
changing the cogl_texture_rectangle_new_with_size() api which we know
is used by Mutter.
This introduces the internal idea of texture loaders that track the
state for loading and allocating a texture. This defers a lot more work
until the texture is allocated.
There are several intentions to this change:
- provides a means for extending how textures are allocated without
requiring all the parameters to be supplied in a single _texture_new()
function call.
- allow us to remove the internal_format argument from all
_texture_new() apis since using CoglPixelFormat is bad way of
expressing the internal format constraints because it is too specific.
For now the internal_format arguments haven't actually been removed
but this patch does introduce replacement apis for controlling the
internal format:
cogl_texture_set_components() lets you specify what components your
texture needs when it is allocated.
cogl_texture_set_premultiplied() lets you specify whether a texture
data should be interpreted as premultiplied or not.
- Enable us to support asynchronous texture loading + allocation in the
future.
Of note, the _new_from_data() texture constructors all continue to
allocate textures immediately so that existing code doesn't need to be
adapted to manage the lifetime of the data being uploaded.

Note: Compared to the original patch, the ->premultipled state for
textures isn't forced to be %TRUE in _cogl_texture_init since that
effectively ignores the users explicitly given internal_format which was
a mistake and on master that change should have been made in the patch
that followed. The gtk-doc comments for cogl_texture_set_premultiplied()
and cogl_texture_set_components() have also been updated in-line with
this fix.
Consistent with how we lazily allocate framebuffers this patch allows us
to instantiate textures but still specify constraints and requirements
before allocating storage so that we can be sure to allocate the most
appropriate/efficient storage.
This adds a cogl_texture_allocate() function that is analogous to
cogl_framebuffer_allocate() which can optionally be called to explicitly
allocate storage and catch any errors. If this function isn't used
explicitly then Cogl will implicitly ensure textures are allocated
before the storage is needed.
It is generally recommended to rely on lazy storage allocation or at
least perform explicit allocation as late as possible so Cogl can be
fully informed about the best way to allocate storage.

Note: This reverts the cogl_texture_rectangle_new_with_size API change
that dropped the CoglError argument and keeps the semantics of
allocating the texture immediately. This is because Mutter currently
uses this API so we will probably look at updating this later once
we have a corresponding Mutter patch prepared. The other API changes
were kept since they only affected experimental api.
Symbols changed names, %1 makes gtk-doc sad and some referenced symbols
were missing in the -sections.txt file.

This fixes some problems which were stopping --disable-glib from
working properly:
• A lot of the public headers were including glib.h. This shouldn't be
necessary because the API doesn't expose any glib types. Otherwise
any apps would require glib in order to get the header.
• The public headers were using G_BEGIN_DECLS. There is now a
replacement macro called COGL_BEGIN_DECLS which is defined in
cogl-types.h.
• A similar fix has been done for G_GNUC_NULL_TERMINATED and
G_GNUC_DEPRECATED.
• The CFLAGS were not including $(builddir)/deps/glib which was
preventing it finding the generated glibconfig.h when building out
of tree.

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.

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.
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.

This adds public constructors which take a CoglBitmap to all primitive
texture types. This constructor should be considered the canonical
constructor for initializing the texture with data because it should
be possible to wrap any type of data in a CoglBitmap. Having at least
this single constructor avoids the need to have an explosion of
constructors such as new_from_data, new_from_pixel_buffer and
new_from_file etc.
The already available internal bitmap constructor for CoglTexture2D
has had its flags parameter removed under the assumption that flags do
not make sense for primitive textures. The meta constructor
cogl_texture_new_from_bitmap now just explicitly calls set_auto_mipmap
after constructing the texture depending on the value of the
COGL_TEXTURE_NO_AUTO_MIPMAP flag.

We are in the process of removing all _EXP suffix mangling for
experimental APIs (Ref: c6528c4b6c) and adding missing gtk-doc
comments so that we can instead rely on the "Stability: unstable"
markers in the gtk-doc comments. This patch tackles the cogl-texture-3d
api symbols.
This patch also replaces use of CoglHandle with a CoglTexture3D type
instead.
Finally this patch also ensures the CoglTexture3D constructors take an
explicit CoglContext pointer but not a CoglTextureFlags argument,
consistent with other CoglTexture constructors.

This adds a publicly exposed experimental API for a 3D texture
backend. There is a feature flag which can be checked for whether 3D
textures are supported. Although we require OpenGL 1.2 which has 3D
textures in core, GLES only provides them through an extension so the
feature can be used to detect that.
The textures can be created with one of two new API functions :-
cogl_texture_3d_new_with_size
and
cogl_texture_3d_new_from_data
There is also internally a new_from_bitmap function. new_from_data is
implemented in terms of this function.
The two constructors are effectively the only way to upload data to a
3D texture. It does not work to call glTexImage2D with the
GL_TEXTURE_3D target so the virtual for cogl_texture_set_region does
nothing. It would be possible to make cogl_texture_get_data do
something sensible like returning all of the images as a single long
image but this is not currently implemented and instead the virtual
just always fails. We may want to add API specific to the 3D texture
backend to get and set a sub region of the texture.
All of those three functions can throw a GError. This will happen if
the GPU does not support 3D textures or it does not support NPOTs and
an NPOT size is requested. It will also fail if the FBO extension is
not supported and the COGL_TEXTURE_NO_AUTO_MIPMAP flag is not
given. This could be avoided by copying the code for the
GL_GENERATE_MIPMAP TexParameter fallback, but in the interests of
keeping the code simple this is not yet done.
This adds a couple of functions to cogl-texture-driver for uploading
3D data and querying the 3D proxy
texture. prep_gl_for_pixels_upload_full now also takes sets the
GL_UNPACK_IMAGE_HEIGHT parameter so that 3D textures can have padding
between the images. Whenever 3D texture is uploading, both the height
of the images and the height of all of the data is specified (either
explicitly or implicilty from the CoglBitmap) so that the image height
can be deduced by dividing by the depth.
