Texture allocation is now consistently handled lazily such that the
internal format can now be controlled using
cogl_texture_set_components() and cogl_texture_set_premultiplied()
before allocating the texture with cogl_texture_allocate(). This means
that the internal_format arguments to texture constructors are now
redundant and since most of the texture constructors now can't ever fail
the error arguments are also redundant. This now means we no longer
use CoglPixelFormat in the public api for describing the internal format
of textures which had been bad solution originally due to how specific
CoglPixelFormat is which is missleading when we don't support such
explicit control over the internal format.

Note: there are numerous API changes for functions currently marked
as 'unstable' which we don't think are in use by anyone depending on
a stable 1.x api. Compared to the original patch though this avoids
changing the cogl_texture_rectangle_new_with_size() api which we know
is used by Mutter.
This fixes the build with --enable-introspection. I'm not sure why
g-ir-scanner seems to parse all public headers in isolation instead of
being able take a more limited list of top-level public headers and
automatically parse all necessary #include directives but this means we
have to special case how we define and undefine __COGL_H_INSIDE__ to
subvert the guards we have in place for detecting misuse of the headers.

This declares the interface types CoglFramebuffer, CoglBuffer,
CoglTexture, CoglMetaTexture and CoglPrimitiveTexture as void when
including the public cogl.h header so that users don't have to use lots
of C type casts between instance types and interface types.
This also removes all of the COGL_XYZ() type cast macros since they do
nothing more than compile time type casting but it's less readable if
you haven't seen that coding pattern before.
Unlike with gobject based apis that use per-type macros for casting and
performing runtime type checking we instead prefer to do our runtime
type checking internally within the front-end public apis when objects
are passed into Cogl. This greatly reduces the verbosity for users of
the api and may help reduce the chance of excessive runtime type
checking that can sometimes be a problem.

Since we can't break the 1.x api this version of the patch actually

This fixes some problems which were stopping --disable-glib from
working properly:
• A lot of the public headers were including glib.h. This shouldn't be
necessary because the API doesn't expose any glib types. Otherwise
any apps would require glib in order to get the header.
• The public headers were using G_BEGIN_DECLS. There is now a
replacement macro called COGL_BEGIN_DECLS which is defined in
cogl-types.h.
• A similar fix has been done for G_GNUC_NULL_TERMINATED and
G_GNUC_DEPRECATED.
• The CFLAGS were not including $(builddir)/deps/glib which was
preventing it finding the generated glibconfig.h when building out
of tree.

Although we use GLib internally in Cogl we would rather not leak GLib
api through Cogl's own api, except through explicitly namespaced
cogl_glib_ / cogl_gtype_ feature apis.
One of the benefits we see to not leaking GLib through Cogl's public API
is that documentation for Cogl won't need to first introduce the Glib
API to newcomers, thus hopefully lowering the barrier to learning Cogl.
This patch provides a Cogl specific typedef for reporting runtime errors
which by no coincidence matches the typedef for GError exactly. If Cogl
is built with --enable-glib (default) then developers can even safely
assume that a CoglError is a GError under the hood.
This patch also enforces a consistent policy for when NULL is passed as
an error argument and an error is thrown. In this case we log the error
and abort the application, instead of silently ignoring it. In common
cases where nothing has been implemented to handle a particular error
and/or where applications are just printing the error and aborting
themselves then this saves some typing. This also seems more consistent
with language based exceptions which usually cause a program to abort if
they are not explicitly caught (which passing a non-NULL error signifies
in this case)
Since this policy for NULL error pointers is stricter than the standard
GError convention, there is a clear note in the documentation to warn
developers that are used to using the GError api.

Note: Since we can't change the Cogl 1.x api the patch was changed to
not rename _error_quark() functions to be _error_domain() functions and
although it's a bit ugly, instead of providing our own CoglError type
that's compatible with GError we simply #define CoglError to GError
unless Cogl is built with glib disabled.
Note: this patch does technically introduce an API break since it drops
the cogl_error_get_type() symbol generated by glib-mkenum (Since the
CoglError enum was replaced by a CoglSystemError enum) but for now we
are assuming that this will not affect anyone currently using the Cogl
API. If this does turn out to be a problem in practice then we would be
able to fix this my manually copying an implementation of
cogl_error_get_type() generated by glib-mkenum into a compatibility
source file and we could also define the original COGL_ERROR_ enums for
compatibility too.
Note: another minor concern with cherry-picking this patch to the 1.14
branch is that an api scanner would be lead to believe that some APIs
have changed, and for example the gobject-introspection parser which
understands the semantics of GError will not understand the semantics of
CoglError. We expect most people that have tried to use
gobject-introspection with Cogl already understand though that it is not
well suited to generating bindings of the Cogl api anyway and we aren't
aware or anyone depending on such bindings for apis involving GErrors.
(GnomeShell only makes very-very minimal use of Cogl via the gjs
bindings for the cogl_rectangle and cogl_color apis.)
The main reason we have cherry-picked this patch to the 1.14 branch
even given the above concerns is that without it it would become very
awkward for us to cherry-pick other beneficial patches from master.
This makes it possible to integrate existing GLES2 code with
applications using Cogl as the rendering api.
Currently all GLES2 usage is handled with separate GLES2 contexts to
ensure that GLES2 api usage doesn't interfere with Cogl's own use of
OpenGL[ES]. The api has been designed though so we can provide tighter
integration later.
The api would allow us to support GLES2 virtualized on top of an
OpenGL/GLX driver as well as GLES2 virtualized on the core rendering api
of Cogl itself. Virtualizing the GLES2 support on Cogl will allow us to
take advantage of Cogl debugging facilities as well as let us optimize
the cost of allocating multiple GLES2 contexts and switching between
them which can both be very expensive with many drivers.
As as a side effect of this patch Cogl can also now be used as a
portable window system binding API for GLES2 as an alternative to EGL.
Parts of this patch are based on work done by Tomeu Vizoso
<tomeu.vizoso@collabora.com> who did the first iteration of adding GLES2
API support to Cogl so that WebGL support could be added to
webkit-clutter.
This patch adds a very minimal cogl-gles2-context example that shows how
to create a gles2 context, clear the screen to a random color and also
draw a triangle with the cogl api.
