This function should only need to be called in exceptional circumstances
since Cogl can normally determine internally when a flush is necessary.
As an optimization Cogl drawing functions may batch up primitives
internally, so if you are trying to use raw GL outside of Cogl you stand a
better chance of being successful if you ask Cogl to flush any batched
geometry before making your state changes.
cogl_flush() ensures that the underlying driver is issued all the commands
necessary to draw the batched primitives. It provides no guarantees about
when the driver will complete the rendering.
This provides no guarantees about the GL state upon returning and to avoid
confusing Cogl you should aim to restore any changes you make before
resuming use of Cogl.
If you are making state changes with the intention of affecting Cogl drawing
primitives you are 100% on your own since you stand a good chance of
conflicting with Cogl internals. For example clutter-gst which currently
uses direct GL calls to bind ARBfp programs will very likely break when Cogl
starts to use ARBfb programs internally for the material API, but for now it
can use cogl_flush() to at least ensure that the ARBfp program isn't applied
to additional primitives.
This does not provide a robust generalized solution supporting safe use of
raw GL, its use is very much discouraged.
Previously the journal was always flushed at the end of
_cogl_rectangles_with_multitexture_coords, (i.e. the end of any
cogl_rectangle* calls) but now we have broadened the potential for batching
geometry. In ideal circumstances we will only flush once per scene.
In summary the journal works like this:
When you use any of the cogl_rectangle* APIs then nothing is emitted to the
GPU at this point, we just log one or more quads into the journal. A
journal entry consists of the quad coordinates, an associated material
reference, and a modelview matrix. Ideally the journal only gets flushed
once at the end of a scene, but in fact there are things to consider that
may cause unwanted flushing, including:
- modifying materials mid-scene
This is because each quad in the journal has an associated material
reference (i.e. not copy), so if you try and modify a material that is
already referenced in the journal we force a flush first)
NOTE: For now this means you should avoid using cogl_set_source_color()
since that currently uses a single shared material. Later we
should change it to use a pool of materials that is recycled
when the journal is flushed.
- modifying any state that isn't currently logged, such as depth, fog and
backface culling enables.
The first thing that happens when flushing, is to upload all the vertex data
associated with the journal into a single VBO.
We then go through a process of splitting up the journal into batches that
have compatible state so they can be emitted to the GPU together. This is
currently broken up into 3 levels so we can stagger the state changes:
1) we break the journal up according to changes in the number of material layers
associated with logged quads. The number of layers in a material determines
the stride of the associated vertices, so we have to update our vertex
array offsets at this level. (i.e. calling gl{Vertex,Color},Pointer etc)
2) we further split batches up according to material compatability. (e.g.
materials with different textures) We flush material state at this level.
3) Finally we split batches up according to modelview changes. At this level
we update the modelview matrix and actually emit the actual draw command.
This commit is largely about putting the initial design in-place; this will be
followed by other changes that take advantage of the extended batching.
The clutter_context_get_default() function is private, but shared
across Clutter. For this reason, it should be prefixed by '_' so
that the symbol is hidden from the shared object.
An implementaton of realize() never needs to set the
CLUTTER_ACTOR_REALIZED flag, though it can unset the flag if
things fail unexpectedly. (Previously, stage backend implementations
had to do this since clutter_actor_realize() wasn't used; this
is no longer the case.)

Instead of passing a boolean value, the ::allocate virtual function
should use a bitmask and flags. This gives us room for expansion
without breaking API/ABI, and allows to encode more information to
the allocation process instead of just changes of absolute origin.
The clutter_actor_map and unmap functions need to be called to
properly update the mapped state. This matches the changes to the X11
stage in 125bded8.
With the recent change to internal floating point values, ClutterUnit
has become a redundant type, defined to be a float. All integer entry
points are being internally converted to floating point values to be
passed to the GL pipeline with the least amount of conversion.
ClutterUnit is thus exposed as just a "pixel with fractionary bits",
and not -- as users might think -- as generic, resolution and device
independent units. not that it was the case, but a definitive amount
of people was convinced it did provide this "feature", and was flummoxed
about the mere existence of this type.
So, having ClutterUnit exposed in the public API doubles the entry
points and has the following disadvantages:
- we have to maintain twice the amount of entry points in ClutterActor
- we still do an integer-to-float implicit conversion
- we introduce a weird impedance between pixels and "pixels with
fractionary bits"
- language bindings will have to choose what to bind, and resort
to manually overriding the API
+ *except* for language bindings based on GObject-Introspection, as
they cannot do manual overrides, thus will replicate the entire
set of entry points
For these reason, we should coalesces every Actor entry point for
pixels and for ClutterUnit into a single entry point taking a float,
like:
void clutter_actor_set_x (ClutterActor *self,
gfloat x);
void clutter_actor_get_size (ClutterActor *self,
gfloat *width,
gfloat *height);
gfloat clutter_actor_get_height (ClutterActor *self);
etc.
The issues I have identified are:
- we'll have a two cases of compiler warnings:
- printf() format of the return values from %d to %f
- clutter_actor_get_size() taking floats instead of unsigned ints
- we'll have a problem with varargs when passing an integer instead
of a floating point value, except on 64bit platforms where the
size of a float is the same as the size of an int
To be clear: the *intent* of the API should not change -- we still use
pixels everywhere -- but:
- we remove ambiguity in the API with regard to pixels and units
- we remove entry points we get to maintain for the whole 1.0
version of the API
- we make things simpler to bind for both manual language bindings
and automatic (gobject-introspection based) ones
- we have the simplest API possible while still exposing the
capabilities of the underlying GL implementation
Bug 1138 - No trackable "mapped" state
* Add a VISIBLE flag tracking application programmer's
expected showing-state for the actor, allowing us to
always ensure we keep what the app wants while tracking
internal implementation state separately.
* Make MAPPED reflect whether the actor will be painted;
add notification on a ClutterActor::mapped property.
Keep MAPPED state updated as the actor is shown,
ancestors are shown, actor is reparented, etc.
* Require a stage and realized parents to realize; this means
at realization time the correct window system and GL resources
are known. But unparented actors can no longer be realized.
* Allow children to be unrealized even if parent is realized.
Otherwise in effect either all actors or no actors are realized,
i.e. it becomes a stage-global flag.
* Allow clutter_actor_realize() to "fail" if not inside a toplevel
* Rework clutter_actor_unrealize() so internally we have
a flavor that does not mess with visibility flag
* Add _clutter_actor_rerealize() to encapsulate a somewhat
tricky operation we were doing in a couple of places
* Do not realize/unrealize children in ClutterGroup,
ClutterActor already does it
* Do not realize impl by hand in clutter_stage_show(),
since showing impl already does that
* Do not unrealize in various dispose() methods, since
ClutterActor dispose implementation already does it
and chaining up is mandatory
* ClutterTexture uses COGL while unrealizable (before it's
added to a stage). Previously this breakage was affecting
ClutterActor because we had to allow realize outside
a stage. Move the breakage to ClutterTexture, by making
ClutterTexture just use COGL while not realized.
* Unrealize before we set parent to NULL in clutter_actor_unparent().
This means unrealize() implementations can get to the stage.
Because actors need the stage in order to detach from stage.
* Update clutter-actor-invariants.txt to reflect latest changes
* Remove explicit hide/unrealize from ClutterActor::dispose since
unparent already forces those
Instead just assert that unparent() occurred and did the right thing.
* Check whether parent implements unrealize before chaining up
Needed because ClutterGroup no longer has to implement unrealize.
* Perform unrealize in the default handler for the signal.
This allows non-containers that have children to work properly,
and allows containers to override how it's done.
* Add map/unmap virtual methods and set MAPPED flag on self and
children in there. This allows subclasses to hook map/unmap.
These are not signals, because notify::mapped is better for
anything it's legitimate for a non-subclass to do.

Bug 1178 - No enter / leave events on actors when pointer leaves the
stage window
This patch causes the Win32 backend to emit CLUTTER_LEAVE events when
a WM_MOUSELEAVE event is received in the same way that f505536 does
for the X11 backend.
Windows will only send WM_MOUSELEAVE events if they are previously
requested using TrackMouseEvent so this needs to be called whenever
the mouse enters the window. There is no WM_MOUSELEAVE event but we
can detect when the mouse enters because we get a WM_MOUSEMOVE event.

that case the window receives resize and move messages separately
which caused the window to flash at a different size or position
while one message was handled before the other.
