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.
This is useful because sometimes we need to get the current matrix, which
is too expensive when indirect rendering.
In addition, this virtualization makes it easier to clean up the API in
the future.
The type machinery for CoglFixed should be implemented by COGL
itself, now that COGL exports the GType of its types.
This allows moving most of what ClutterFixed did directly to
CoglFixed where it belongs.
Bug 1473 - CoglPixelFormat enum data must be declared static
When registering an enumeration GType, the GEnumValue or GFlagsValue
arrays must be declared static; otherwise, you get a segmentation
fault when calling the function again.
Signed-off-by: Emmanuele Bassi <ebassi@linux.intel.com>
COGL types should be registered inside the GType system, for
bindings and type checking inside properties and signals.
CoglHandle is a boxed type with a ref+unref semantics; slightly evil
from a bindings perspective (we cannot associate custom data to it),
but better than nothing.
The rest of the exposed types are enumerations or bitmasks.
