We can use the GL_ARB_timer_query extension (available since OpenGL
3.2, and part of the OpenGL specification since version 3.3) to query
the time elapsed when drawing each frame. This allows us to gather
timing information on our use of the GPU.
The clip rectangle may have non-zero offsets, so we need to ensure that
the GskRenderNode associated to the rendered area is translated by those
same offsets.
For the root node we do not need to use blending, as it does not have
any backdrop to blend into. We can use a simpler 'blit' program that
only takes the content of the source and fills the texture quad with
it.
We should use ShaderBuilder to create and store programs for the GL
renderer. This allows us to simplify the creation of programs (by moving
the compilation phase into the ShaderBuilder::create_program() method),
and move towards the ability to create multiple programs and just keep a
reference to the program id.
We should keep the ShaderBuilder around and use it to query the various
uniform and attribute locations when needed, instead of storing those
offsets into the Renderer instance, and copying them. This allows a bit
more flexibility, once we have more than one program built into the
renderer.
The GL renderer should build the GLSL shaders using GskShaderBuilder.
This allows us to separate the common parts into separate files, and
assemble them as necessary, instead of shipping one big shader per type
of GL API (GL3, GL legacy, and GLES).
GskShaderBuilder is an ancillary, private type that deals with the
internals of taking GLSL shaders from resources and building them,
with the additional feature of being able to compose shaders from a
common preamble, as well as adding conditional defines (useful for
enabling debugging code in the shaders themselves).
Using GObject as the base type for a transient tree may prove to be too
intensive, especially when creating a lot of node instances. Since we
don't need properties or signals, and we don't need complex destruction
semantics, we can use GTypeInstance directly as the base type for
GskRenderNode.
We need a virtual function to retrieve the GskRenderNode for each
widget, which is supposed to attach its own children's GskRenderNodes.
Additionally, we want to maintain the existing GtkWidget::draw mechanism
for widgets that do not implement get_render_node() — as well as widgets
that have handlers connected to the ::draw signal.
This commit changes the way GskRenderer and GskRenderNode interact and
are meant to be used.
GskRenderNode should represent a transient tree of rendering nodes,
which are submitted to the GskRenderer at render time; this allows the
renderer to take ownership of the render tree. Once the toolkit and
application code have finished assembling it, the render tree ownership
is transferred to the renderer.
Whenever the render tree changes we want to drop the RenderItem arrays,
as each item contains a pointer to the GskRenderNode which becomes
dangling once the root node changed.
The surface-to-GL upload logic has become more complicated with the
addition of the GLES code paths; it's more logical to have a public
utility function that can be called from GDK users, instead of copy
pasting the whole thing multiple times.
GSK is conceptually split into two scene graphs:
* a simple rendering tree of operations
* a complex set of logical layers
The latter is built on the former, and adds convenience and high level
API for application developers.
The lower layer, though, is what gets transformed into the rendering
pipeline, as it's simple and thus can be transformed into appropriate
rendering commands with minimal state changes.
The lower layer is also suitable for reuse from more complex higher
layers, like the CSS machinery in GTK, without necessarily port those
layers to the GSK high level API.
This lower layer is based on GskRenderNode instances, which represent
the tree of rendering operations; and a GskRenderer instance, which
takes the render nodes and submits them (after potentially reordering
and transforming them to a more appropriate representation) to the
underlying graphic system.
The config.rpath script was added by running gettextize, but it's not
really needed, as config.rpath is generated by autotools and it's
included in the dist tarball automatically.
Upstream gettextize has been fixed so it does not happen any more:

The GtkHeaderBar gadget implementation was subtly broken: it called
gtk_widget_set_allocation both in gtk_header_bar_size_allocate (with
the actual allocation) and in gtk_header_bar_allocate_contents (with
the content allocation of the main gadget). Dropping the second call
fixes the render node conversion for GtkHeaderBar.
The event code could potentially dereference pointer_info if the
invariant that ENTER_NOTIFY and LEAVE_NOTIFY events are only emitted on
devices which have pointers is violated elsewhere.
