The native window type of the EGL/Android winsys is ANativeWinow*. The
Android NDK gives you a pointer to this ANativeWindow and you just need
to configure that window using the EGLConfig you are choosing when
creating the context.
This means you have to know the ANativeWindow* window before creating
the context. This is solved here by just having a global variable you
can set with cogl_android_set_native_window() before creating the
context. This is a bit ugly though, and it conceptually belongs to the
OnScreen creation to know which ANativeWindow* to use. This would need a
"lazy context creation" mechanism, waiting for the user to create the
OnScreen to initialize the GL context.
When try_create_context() returns saying that it has to be run again to
try to create a context with an alternate configuration, it might not
have a GError set (and in fact it does not right now).
g_clear_error() handles that case where error is still NULL;
Early implementations provided only a GLES/egl.h while Khronos's
implementer guide now states EGL/egl.h is the One. Some implementations
keep a GLES/egl.h wrapper around EGL/egl.h for backward compatibility
while others provide EGL/egl.h only.
Also took the opportunity to factorize a bit this inclusion in
cogl-defines.h.
To support toolkits targeting wayland and using Cogl we allow toolkits
to be responsible for connecting to a wayland display and asking Cogl to
use the toolkit owned display and compositor object. Note: eventually
the plan is that wayland will allow retrospective querying of objects so
we won't need the foreign compositor API when Cogl can simply query it
from the foreign display.
The EGL API doesn't provide for a way to explicitly select a platform
when the driver can support multiple. Mesa allows selection using an
EGL_PLATFORM environment variable though so we set that to "wayland"
when we know that's what we want.
All of the winsys backends didn't handle cleaning up the CoglOnscreen
properly so that they would assert in cogl_onscreen_free because the
winsys pointer is never freed. They also didn't cope if deinit is
called before init (which will be the case if an onscreen is created
and freed without being allocated).
Some of the virtual functions in CoglWinsysVtable only need to be
implemented for specific backends or when a specific feature is
advertised. This splits the vtable struct into two commented sections
marking which are optional and which are required. Wherever an
optional function is used there is now a g_return_if_fail to ensure
there is an implementation.
Wayland now supports integration via standard eglSurfaces which makes it
possible to share more code with other EGL platforms. (though at some
point cogl-winsys-egl.c really needs to gain a more formal
CoglEGLPlatform abstraction so we can rein back on the amount of #ifdefs
we have.)
This extends cogl_onscreen_x11_set_foreign_xid to take a callback to a
function that details the event mask the Cogl requires the application
to select on foreign windows. This is required because Cogl, for
example, needs to track size changes of a window and may also in the
future want other notifications such as map/unmap.
Most applications wont need to use the foreign xwindow apis, but those
that do are required to pass a valid callback and update the event mask
of their window according to Cogl's requirements.
This adds Cogl API to show and hide onscreen framebuffers. We don't want
to go too far down the road of abstracting window system APIs with Cogl
since that would be out of its scope but the previous idea that we would
automatically map framebuffers on allocation except for those made from
foreign windows wasn't good enough. The problem is that we don't want to
make Clutter always create stages from foreign windows but with the
automatic map semantics then Clutter doesn't get an opportunity to
select for all the events it requires before mapping. This meant that we
wouldn't be delivered a mouse enter event for windows mapped underneath
the cursor which would break Clutters handling of button press events.
The GDL API is used for example on intel ce4100 (aka Sodaville) based
systems as a way to allocate memory that can be composited using the
platforms overlay hardware. This updates the Cogl EGL winsys and the
support in Clutter so we can continue to support these platforms.
So that we can dynamically select what winsys backend to use at runtime
we need to have some indirection to how code accesses the winsys instead
of simply calling _cogl_winsys* functions that would collide if we
wanted to compile more than one backend into Cogl.
This moves the GLX specific code from cogl-texture-pixmap-x11.c into
cogl-winsys-glx.c. If we want the winsys components to by dynamically
loadable then we can't have GLX code scattered outside of
cogl-winsys-glx.c. This also sets us up for supporting the
EGL_texture_from_pixmap extension which is almost identical to the
GLX_texture_from_pixmap extension.
As was recently done for the GLX window system code, this commit moves
the EGL window system code down from the Clutter backend code into a
Cogl winsys.
Note: currently the cogl/configure.ac is hard coded to only build the GLX
winsys so currently this is only available when building Cogl as part
of Clutter.
This tries to make the naming style of files under cogl/winsys/
consistent with other cogl source files. In particular private header
files didn't have a '-private' infix.
