Let's try and start reducing the size of ClutterActorPrivate by moving
some optional, out-of-band data from it to GObject data.
The ShaderData structure is a prime candidate for this migration: it
does not need to be inspected by the actor, and its relationship with an
actor is transient and optional.
By attaching it to the actor's instance through g_object_set_data() we
neatly tie its lifetime to the instance, and we don't have to care
cleaning it up in the finalize()/dispose() implementation of
ClutterActor itself.
We now prepend a set of defines to any given GLSL shader so that we can
define builtin uniforms/attributes within the "cogl" namespace that we
can use to provide compatibility across a range of the earlier versions
of GLSL.
This updates test-cogl-shader-glsl.c and test-shader.c so they no longer
needs to special case GLES vs GL when splicing together its shaders as
well as the blur, colorize and desaturate effects.
To get a feel for the new, portable uniform/attribute names here are the
defines for OpenGL vertex shaders:
#define cogl_position_in gl_Vertex
#define cogl_color_in gl_Color
#define cogl_tex_coord_in gl_MultiTexCoord0
#define cogl_tex_coord0_in gl_MultiTexCoord0
#define cogl_tex_coord1_in gl_MultiTexCoord1
#define cogl_tex_coord2_in gl_MultiTexCoord2
#define cogl_tex_coord3_in gl_MultiTexCoord3
#define cogl_tex_coord4_in gl_MultiTexCoord4
#define cogl_tex_coord5_in gl_MultiTexCoord5
#define cogl_tex_coord6_in gl_MultiTexCoord6
#define cogl_tex_coord7_in gl_MultiTexCoord7
#define cogl_normal_in gl_Normal
#define cogl_position_out gl_Position
#define cogl_point_size_out gl_PointSize
#define cogl_color_out gl_FrontColor
#define cogl_tex_coord_out gl_TexCoord
#define cogl_modelview_matrix gl_ModelViewMatrix
#define cogl_modelview_projection_matrix gl_ModelViewProjectionMatrix
#define cogl_projection_matrix gl_ProjectionMatrix
#define cogl_texture_matrix gl_TextureMatrix
And for fragment shaders we have:
#define cogl_color_in gl_Color
#define cogl_tex_coord_in gl_TexCoord
#define cogl_color_out gl_FragColor
#define cogl_depth_out gl_FragDepth
#define cogl_front_facing gl_FrontFacing
Since the GLES2 wrapper grew support for multi-texturing, the
tex_coord varying variable defined in the vertex shader is actually an
array of texture coordinates so it ought to match in the fragment
shader in test-shader. This seemed to work anyway under Mesa/Intel but
under NVidia it does not so I don't think it's safe to assume that
linking a non-array varying with an array will work.
Previously we were using an internal only HAVE_COGL_GLES2 define to
guard GLES 2 specific changes so for instance the precision modifiers
weren't being emitted in the shader source.

The build for interactive tests creates symbolic links for the data
under tests/data; it also uses symbolic links for creating "binaries"
for each interactive test. This is less than ideal, though.
Instead, the tests should build a path to the data files by using
a pre-processor define like TESTS_DATADIR; both g_build_filename() and
pre-processor string concatenation can be used to generate a valid
file name with the full path to the files.
The build system should also create wrapper scripts, just like we
do inside the conformance test suite, to be able to launch single
tests.
Texture data is now in premultiplied format and the shader should
output a premultiplied color if the default blend mode is being
used. Shaders that directly manipulate the rgb values now
unpremultiply and premultiply again afterwards.
All the underlying implementation and the public entry points have
been switched to floats; the only missing bits are the Actor properties
that deal with positioning and sizing.
This usually means a major pain when dealing with GValues and varargs
functions. While GValue will warn you when dealing with the wrong
conversions, varags will simply die an horrible (and hard to debug)
death via segfault. Nothing much to do here, except warn people in the
release notes and hope for the best.

The tests have been reorganised into different categories: conformance,
interactive and micro benchmarks.
- conformance tests can be run as part of automated tests
- interactive tests are basically all the existing tests
- micro benchmarks focus on a single performance metric
I converted the timeline tests to conformance tests and also added some
tests from Neil Roberts and Ebassi.
Note: currently only the conformance tests use the glib test APIs,
though the micro benchmarks should too.
The other change is to make the unit tests link into monolithic binaries
which makes the build time for unit tests considerably faster. To deal
with the extra complexity this adds to debugging individual tests I
have added some sugar to the makefiles so all the tests can be run
directly via a symlink and when an individual test is run this way,
then a note is printed to the terminal explaining exactly how that test
may be debugged using GDB.
There is a convenience make rule: 'make test-report', that will run all
the conformance tests and hopefully even open the results in your web
browser. It skips some of the slower timeline tests, but you can run
those using 'make full-report'
