We have found several times now when writing code using Cogl that it
would really help if Cogl's matrix stack api was public as a utility
api. In Rig for example we want to avoid redundant arithmetic when
deriving the matrices of entities used to render and we aren't able
to simply use the framebuffer's matrix stack to achieve this. Also when
implementing cairo-cogl we found that it would be really useful if we
could have a matrix stack utility api.

At times there can be huge numbers of CoglMatrixEntry structures
allocated if they are being used to track the transform of many drawing
commands or objects in a scenegraph. Therefore the size of a
CoglMatrixEntry should be kept as small as possible both to help reduce
the memory usage of applications but also to improve cache usage since
matrix stack manipulations are performance critical at times.
This reduces the size of CoglMatrixEntry structures for non-debug builds
by removing the composite_gets counter used to sanity check how often
the transform for an entry is resolved.

This moves the parent pointer member to the top of the CoglMatrixEntry

cpus.

This adds the following new functions to apply a rotation described by
a euler or a quaternion to either a CoglMatrix or directly to the
modelview stack of a framebuffer:
cogl_matrix_rotate_quaternion
cogl_matrix_rotate_euler
cogl_framebuffer_rotate_quaternion
cogl_framebuffer_rotate_euler
The direct framebuffer functions have corresponding functions in the
CoglMatrixStack to store an entry describing the rotation.

This re-designs the matrix stack so we now keep track of each separate
operation such as rotating, scaling, translating and multiplying as
immutable, ref-counted nodes in a graph.
Being a "graph" here means that different transformations composed of
a sequence of linked operation nodes may share nodes.
The first node in a matrix-stack is always a LOAD_IDENTITY operation.
As an example consider if an application where to draw three rectangles
A, B and C something like this:
cogl_framebuffer_scale (fb, 2, 2, 2);
cogl_framebuffer_push_matrix(fb);
cogl_framebuffer_translate (fb, 10, 0, 0);
cogl_framebuffer_push_matrix(fb);
cogl_framebuffer_rotate (fb, 45, 0, 0, 1);
cogl_framebuffer_draw_rectangle (...); /* A */
cogl_framebuffer_pop_matrix(fb);
cogl_framebuffer_draw_rectangle (...); /* B */
cogl_framebuffer_pop_matrix(fb);
cogl_framebuffer_push_matrix(fb);
cogl_framebuffer_set_modelview_matrix (fb, &mv);
cogl_framebuffer_draw_rectangle (...); /* C */
cogl_framebuffer_pop_matrix(fb);
That would result in a graph of nodes like this:
LOAD_IDENTITY
|
SCALE
/ \
SAVE LOAD
| |
TRANSLATE RECTANGLE(C)
| \
SAVE RECTANGLE(B)
|
ROTATE
|
RECTANGLE(A)
Each push adds a SAVE operation which serves as a marker to rewind too
when a corresponding pop is issued and also each SAVE node may also
store a cached matrix representing the composition of all its ancestor
nodes. This means if we repeatedly need to resolve a real CoglMatrix
for a given node then we don't need to repeat the composition.
Some advantages of this design are:
- A single pointer to any node in the graph can now represent a
complete, immutable transformation that can be logged for example
into a journal. Previously we were storing a full CoglMatrix in
each journal entry which is 16 floats for the matrix itself as well
as space for flags and another 16 floats for possibly storing a
cache of the inverse. This means that we significantly reduce
the size of the journal when drawing lots of primitives and we also
avoid copying over 128 bytes per entry.
- It becomes much cheaper to check for equality. In cases where some
(unlikely) false negatives are allowed simply comparing the pointers
of two matrix stack graph entries is enough. Previously we would use
memcmp() to compare matrices.
- It becomes easier to do comparisons of transformations. By looking
for the common ancestry between nodes we can determine the operations
that differentiate the transforms and use those to gain a high level
understanding of the differences. For example we use this in the
journal to be able to efficiently determine when two rectangle
transforms only differ by some translation so that we can perform
software clipping.

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 option to GCC makes it give a warning whenever a global function
is defined without a declaration. This should catch cases were we've
defined a function but forgot to put it in a header. In that case it
is either only used within one file so we should make it static or we
should declare it in a header.
The following changes where made to fix problems:
• Some functions were made static
• cogl-path.h (the one containing the 1.0 API) was split into two
files, one defining the functions and one defining the enums so that
cogl-path.c can include the enum and function declarations from the
2.0 API as well as the function declarations from the 1.0 API.
• cogl2-clip-state has been removed. This only had one experimental
function called cogl_clip_push_from_path but as this is unstable we
might as well remove it favour of the equivalent cogl_framebuffer_*
API.
• The GLX, SDL and WGL winsys's now have a private header to define
their get_vtable function instead of directly declaring in the C
file where it is called.
• All places that were calling COGL_OBJECT_DEFINE need to have the
cogl_is_whatever function declared so these have been added either
as a public function or in a private header.
• Some files that were not including the header containing their
function declarations have been fixed to do so.
• Any unused error quark functions have been removed. If we later want
them we should add them back one by one and add a declaration for
them in a header.
• _cogl_is_framebuffer has been renamed to cogl_is_framebuffer and
made a public function with a declaration in cogl-framebuffer.h
• Similarly for CoglOnscreen.
• cogl_vdraw_indexed_attributes is called
cogl_framebuffer_vdraw_indexed_attributes in the header. The
definition has been changed to match the header.
• cogl_index_buffer_allocate has been removed. This had no declaration
and I'm not sure what it's supposed to do.
• CoglJournal has been changed to use the internal CoglObject macro so
that it won't define an exported cogl_is_journal symbol.
• The _cogl_blah_pointer_from_handle functions have been removed.
CoglHandle isn't used much anymore anyway and in the few places
where it is used I think it's safe to just use the implicit cast
from void* to the right type.
• The test-utils.h header for the conformance tests explicitly
disables the -Wmissing-declaration option using a pragma because all
of the tests declare their main function without a header. Any
mistakes relating to missing declarations aren't really important
for the tests.
• cogl_quaternion_init_from_quaternion and init_from_matrix have been
given declarations in cogl-quaternion.h

Previously flushing the matrices was performed as part of the
framebuffer state. When on GLES2 this matrix flushing is actually
diverted so that it only keeps a reference to the intended matrix
stack. This is necessary because on GLES2 there are no builtin
uniforms so it can't actually flush the matrices until the program for
the pipeline is generated. When the matrices are flushed it would
store the age of modifications on the matrix stack so that it could
detect when the matrix hasn't changed and avoid flushing it.
This patch changes it so that the pipeline is responsible for flushing
the matrices even when we are using the GL builtins. The same
mechanism for detecting unmodified matrix stacks is used in all
cases. There is a new CoglMatrixStackCache type which is used to store
a reference to the intended matrix stack along with its last flushed
age. There are now two of these attached to the CoglContext to track
the flushed state for the global matrix builtins and also two for each
glsl progend program state to track the flushed state for a
program. The framebuffer matrix flush now just updates the intended
matrix stacks without actually trying to flush.
When a vertex snippet is attached to the pipeline, the GLSL vertend
will now avoid using the projection matrix to flip the rendering. This
is necessary because any vertex snippet may cause the projection
matrix not to be used. Instead the flip is done as a forced final step
by multiplying cogl_position_out by a vec4 uniform. This uniform is
updated as part of the progend pre_paint depending on whether the
framebuffer is offscreen or not.

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.
Sometimes it would be useful if we could efficiently track when a matrix
stack has been modified. For example on GLES2 we have to upload the
modelview as a uniform to our glsl programs but because the modelview
state is part of the framebuffer state it becomes a bit more tricky to
know when to re-sync the value of the uniform with the framebuffer
state. This adds an "age" counter to CoglMatrixStack which is
incremented for any operation that effectively modifies the top of the
stack so now we can save the age of the stack inside the pipeline
whenever we update modelview uniform and later compare that with the
stack to determine if it has changed.
Since using addresses that might change is something that finally
the FSF acknowledge as a plausible scenario (after changing address
twice), the license blurb in the source files should use the URI
for getting the license in case the library did not come with it.
Not that URIs cannot possibly change, but at least it's easier to
set up a redirection at the same place.
As a side note: this commit closes the oldes bug in Clutter's bug
report tool.

This new API takes advantage of the recently imported Mesa code to support
inverse matrix calculation. The matrix code keeps track (via internal
flags) of the transformations a matrix represents so that it can select an
optimized inversion function.
Note: although other aspects of the Cogl matrix API have followed a similar
style to Cairo's matrix API we haven't added a cogl_matrix_invert API
because the inverse of a CoglMatrix is actually cached as part of the
CoglMatrix structure meaning a destructive API like cogl_matrix_invert
doesn't let users take advantage of this caching design.
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.
