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.

Since the original patch was done after removing deprecated API
this back ported patch doesn't affect deprecated API and so
actually this cherry-pick doesn't remove all remaining use of
CoglHandle as it did for the master branch of Cogl.
I don't think there's really any point in this cache because the
pipeline code completely owns the point size state. Pipelines are
already compared for whether their point size state is different
before setting it so it shouldn't result in any extra calls to
glPointSize apart from maybe when the first pipeline is initially
flushed.

The cogl.h header is meant to be the public header for including the 1.x
api used by Clutter so we should stop using that as a convenient way to
include all likely prototypes and typedefs. Actually we already do a
good job of listing the specific headers we depend on in each of the .c
files we have so mostly this patch just strip out the redundant
includes for cogl.h with a few fixups where that broke the build.

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.

This adds two new public experimental functions for attaching
CoglSnippets to two hook points on a CoglPipeline:
void cogl_pipeline_add_vertex_hook (CoglPipeline *, CoglSnippet *)
void cogl_pipeline_add_fragment_hook (CoglPipeline *, CoglSnippet *)
The hooks are intended to be around the entire vertex or fragment
processing. That means the pre string in the snippet will be inserted
at the very top of the main function and the post function will be
inserted at the very end. The declarations get inserted in the global
scope.
The snippets are stored in two separate linked lists with a structure
containing an enum representing the hook point and a pointer to the
snippet. The lists are meant to be for hooks that affect the vertex
shader and fragment shader respectively. Although there are currently
only two hooks and the names match these two lists, the intention is
*not* that each new hook will be in a separate list. The separation of
the lists is just to make it easier to determine which shader needs to
be regenerated when a new snippet is added.
When a pipeline becomes the authority for either the vertex or
fragment snipper state, it simply copies the entire list from the
previous authority (although of course the shader snippet objects are
referenced instead of copied so it doesn't duplicate the source
strings).
Each string is inserted into its own block in the shader. This means
that each string has its own scope so it doesn't need to worry about
name collisions with variables in other snippets. However it does mean
that the pre and post strings can't share variables. It could be
possible to wrap both parts in one block and then wrap the actual
inner hook code in another block, however this would mean that any
further snippets within the outer snippet would be able to see those
variables. Perhaps something to consider would be to put each snippet
into its own function which calls another function between the pre and
post strings to do further processing.
The pipeline cache for generated programs was previously shared with
the fragment shader cache because the state that affects vertex
shaders was a subset of the state that affects fragment shaders. This
is no longer the case because there is a separate state mask for
vertex snippets so the program cache now has its own hash table.

On GLES2, we need to specify an array size for the texture coord
varying array. Previously this size would be decided in one of the
following ways:
- For generated vertex shaders it is always the number of layers in
the pipeline.
- For generated fragment shaders it is the highest sampled texture
unit in the pipeline or the number of attributes supplied by the
primitive, whichever is higher.
- For user shaders it is usually the number of attributes supplied by
the primitive. However, if the application tries to compile the
shader and query the result before using it, it will always be at
least 4.
These shaders can quite easily end up with different values for the
declaration which makes it fail to link. This patch changes it so that
all of the shaders are generated with the maximum of the number of
texture attributes supplied by the primitive and the number of layers
in the pipeline. If this value changes then the shaders are
regenerated, including user shaders. That way all of the shaders will
always have the same value.

The GL or GLES library is now dynamically loaded by the CoglRenderer
so that it can choose between GL, GLES1 and GLES2 at runtime. The
library is loaded by the renderer because it needs to be done before
calling eglInitialize. There is a new environment variable called
COGL_DRIVER to choose between gl, gles1 or gles2.
The #ifdefs for HAVE_COGL_GL, HAVE_COGL_GLES and HAVE_COGL_GLES2 have
been changed so that they don't assume the ifdefs are mutually
exclusive. They haven't been removed entirely so that it's possible to
compile the GLES backends without the the enums from the GL headers.
When using GLX the winsys additionally dynamically loads libGL because
that also contains the GLX API. It can't be linked in directly because
that would probably conflict with the GLES API if the EGL is
selected. When compiling with EGL support the library links directly
to libEGL because it doesn't contain any GL API so it shouldn't have
any conflicts.
When building for WGL or OSX Cogl still directly links against the GL
API so there is a #define in config.h so that Cogl won't try to dlopen
the library.
Cogl-pango previously had a #ifdef to detect when the GL backend is
used so that it can sneakily pass GL_QUADS to
cogl_vertex_buffer_draw. This is now changed so that it queries the
CoglContext for the backend. However to get this to work Cogl now
needs to export the _cogl_context_get_default symbol and cogl-pango
needs some extra -I flags to so that it can include
cogl-context-private.h
cogl-ext-functions.h now contains definitions for all of the core GL
and GLES functions that we would normally link to directly. All of the
code has changed to access them through the cogl context pointer. The
GE macro now takes an extra parameter to specify the context because
the macro itself needs to make GL calls but various points in the Cogl
source use different names for the context variable.
When uploading the layer matrix to GL it wasn't first calling
glActiveTextureMatrix to set the right texture unit for the
layer. This would end up setting the texture matrix on whatever layer
happened to be previously active. This happened to work for
test-cogl-multitexture presumably because it was coincidentally
setting the layer matrix on the last used layer.
The CoglDebugFlags are now stored in an array of unsigned ints rather
than a single variable. The flags are accessed using macros instead of
directly peeking at the cogl_debug_flags variable. The index values
are stored in the enum rather than the actual mask values so that the
enum doesn't need to be more than 32 bits wide. The hope is that the
code to determine the index into the array can be optimized out by the
compiler so it should have exactly the same performance as the old
code.
The lighting parameters such as the diffuse and ambient colors were
previously only flushed in the fixed vertend. This meant that if a
vertex shader was used then they would not be set. The lighting
parameters are uniforms which are just as useful in a fragment shader
so it doesn't really make sense to set them in the vertend. They are
now flushed in the common cogl-pipeline-opengl code but the code is
#ifdef'd for GLES2 because they need to be part of the progend in that
case.
The GLSL vertend is mostly only useful for GLES2. The fixed function
vertend is kept at higher priority than the GLSL vertend so it is
unlikely to be used in any other circumstances.
The vertends are intended to flush state that would be represented in
a vertex program. Code to handle the layer matrix, lighting and
point size has now been moved from the common cogl-pipeline-opengl
backend to the fixed vertend.
