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.
COGLenum, COGLint and COGLuint which were simply typedefs for GL{enum,int,uint}
have been removed from the API and replaced with specialised enum typedefs, int
and unsigned int. These were causing problems for generating bindings and also
considered poor style.
The cogl texture filter defines CGL_NEAREST and CGL_LINEAR etc are now replaced
by a namespaced typedef 'CoglTextureFilter' so they should be replaced with
COGL_TEXTURE_FILTER_NEAREST and COGL_TEXTURE_FILTER_LINEAR etc.
The shader type defines CGL_VERTEX_SHADER and CGL_FRAGMENT_SHADER are handled by
a CoglShaderType typedef and should be replaced with COGL_SHADER_TYPE_VERTEX and
COGL_SHADER_TYPE_FRAGMENT.
cogl_shader_get_parameteriv has been replaced by cogl_shader_get_type and
cogl_shader_is_compiled. More getters can be added later if desired.
Adds missing notices, and ensures all the notices are consistent. The Cogl
blurb also now reads:
* Cogl
*
* An object oriented GL/GLES Abstraction/Utility Layer
The cogl_is_* functions were showing up quite high on profiles due to
iterating through arrays of cogl handles.
This does away with all the handle arrays and implements a simple struct
inheritance scheme. All cogl objects now add a CoglHandleObject _parent;
member to their main structures. The base object includes 2 members a.t.m; a
ref_count, and a klass pointer. The klass in turn gives you a type and
virtual function for freeing objects of that type.
Each handle type has a _cogl_##handle_type##_get_type () function
automatically defined which returns a GQuark of the handle type, so now
implementing the cogl_is_* funcs is just a case of comparing with
obj->klass->type.
Another outcome of the re-work is that cogl_handle_{ref,unref} are also much
more efficient, and no longer need extending for each handle type added to
cogl. The cogl_##handle_type##_{ref,unref} functions are now deprecated and
are no longer used internally to Clutter or Cogl. Potentially we can remove
them completely before 1.0.
