I suspect I may split the win32 code into a few more files, so move it
to its own directory to reduce the clutter.

This is initially based around the requirements for handling internal
fallbacks to the image compositor and reducing the number of pixels
required to be transferred.

As discussed, overloading the cairo_surface_t semantics to include
sources (i.e. read-only surfaces) was duplicating the definition of
cairo_pattern_t. So rather than introduce a new surface type with
pattern semantics, start along the thorny road of extensible pattern
types.

This adds a new GPU accelerated backend for Cairo based on the Cogl 3D
graphics API.
This backend aims to support Cairo in a way that translates as naturally
as possible to using a GPU, it does not strive to compete with the
anti-aliasing quality of the image backend if it can't be done
efficiently using the GPU - raw performance isn't the only metric of
concern, so is power usage.
As an overview of how the backend works:
- fills are handled by tessellating paths into triangles
- the backend has an extra fill_rectangle drawing operation so we have
a fast-path for drawing rectangles which are so common.
- strokes are also tessellated into triangles.
- stroke and fill tessellations are cached to avoid the cpu overhead
of tessellation and cost of upload given that its common for apps to
re-draw the same path multiple times. The tessellations can survive
translations and rotations increasing the probability that they can be
re-used.
- sources and masks are handled using multi-texturing.
- clipping is handled with a scissor and the stencil buffer which
we're careful to only update when they really change.
- linear gradients are rendered to a 1d texture using a triangle
strip + interpolating color attributes. All cairo extend modes
are handled by corresponding texture sampler wrap modes without
needing programmable fragment processing.
- antialiasing should be handled using Cogl's multisampling API
XXX: This is a work in progress!!
TODO:
- handle at least basic radial gradients (No need to handle full
pdf semantics, since css, svg and canvas only allow radial gradients
defined as one circle + a point that must lie within the first
circle.) - currently we fall back to pixman for radial gradients.
- support glyph rendering with a decent glyph cache design. The
current plan is a per scaled-font growable cache texture + a
scratch cache for one-shot/short-lived glyphs.
- decide how to handle npot textures when lacking hardware support.
Current plan is to add a transparent border to npot textures and use
CLAMP_TO_EDGE for the default EXTEND_NONE semantics. For anything else
we can allocate a shadow npot texture and scale the original to fit
that so we can map extend modes to texture sampler modes.
Having spent the last dev cycle looking at how we could specialize the
compositors for various backends, we once again look for the
commonalities in order to reduce the duplication. In part this is
motivated by the idea that spans is a good interface for both the
existent GL backend and pixman, and so they deserve a dedicated
compositor. xcb/xlib target an identical rendering system and so they
should be using the same compositor, and it should be possible to run
that same compositor locally against pixman to generate reference tests.

P.S. This brings massive upheaval (read breakage) I've tried delaying in
order to fix as many things as possible but now this one patch does far,
far, far too much. Apologies in advance for breaking your favourite
backend, but trust me in that the end result will be much better. :)
Add the cairo_time_t type (currently based on cairo_uint64_t) and use
it in cairo-observer and in the perf suite.
Fixes the build on MacOS X (for the src/ subdir) and Win32, whch
failed because they don't provide clock_gettime:
cairo-surface-observer.c:629: error: implicit declaration of function 'clock_gettime'
cairo-surface-observer.c:629: warning: nested extern declaration of 'clock_gettime'
cairo-surface-observer.c:629: error: 'CLOCK_MONOTONIC' undeclared (first use in this function)
...
The immediate use of this is to print out the slowest operation of each
type in a replayable manner. A continuing demonstration of how we may
analyse traces...

In step 1 of speeding up stroking, we introduce contours as a means for
tracking the connected edges around the stroke. By keeping track of
these chains, we can analyse the edges as we proceed and eliminate
redundant vertices speeding up rasterisation.
Coincidentally fixes line-width-tolerance (looks like a combination of
using spline tangent vectors and tolerance).

The mime surface is a user-callback surface designed for interfacing
cairo with an opaque data source. For instance, in a web browser, the
incoming page may be laid out and rendered to a recording surface before
all the image data has finished being downloaded. In this circumstance
we need to pass a place holder to cairo and to supply the image data
later upon demand.

Another logging passthrough surface that records the style of operations
performed trying to categorise what is slow/fast/important.
In combination with perf/cairo-analyse-trace it is very useful for
understanding what a trace does. The next steps for this tool would be
to identify the slow operations that the trace does. Baby steps.
This should be generally useful in similar situations outside of perf/
and should be extensible to become an online performance probe.

As handling joins/caps between line segments shorter than
half_line_width is tricky.
Rather than also fixing the bug in traps, remove that code. The plan is
to avoiding hitting the traps code, short-circuiting several steps along
the fast rectangular paths.
Fixes line-width-overlap.

Still hopelessly broken. Requires compiling cairo to use static linking
and then still requires manual linkage to workaround libtool. Lots of
functionality is still absent - we need to either find analogues to some
Cairo operations or implement fallbacks - but it is sufficient to
investigate how Skia functions in direct comparison with Cairo for
tessellation/rasterisation.
Caveat emptor.

Allow a backend to completely reimplement the Cairo API as it wants. The
goal is to pass operations to the native backends such as Quartz,
Direct2D, Qt, Skia, OpenVG with no overhead. And to permit complete
logging contexts, and whatever else the imagination holds. Perhaps to
experiment with double-paths?

cairo-perf-trace uses cairo-hash.c, which calls _cairo_error.
Instead of redefining it in cairo-perf-trace.c it can be abstracted in
a separate source which is directly included in the build of
cairo-perf-trace.
This avoids visibility issues when compiling cairo-perf-trace with a
statically linked cairo library on architectures which do not support
hidden visibility (example: win32).
make on win32 complains that:
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/ranma42/Code/fdo/cairo/src'
../src/Makefile.sources:220: *** missing separator. Stop.
Makefile.sources should not contain if's, which are aoutomake-only
conditionals. The correct way to conditionally include files is to
enable/disable them using C preprocessor macros.
PS and PDF have native support for mesh patterns, but they have encode
mesh points and colors in an appropriate binary stream.
cairo_pdf_shading_* functions implement the encoding, which is the
same for PDF and PS.
Some GL functions can be called using different names depending on the
GL version and available extensions (ARB, EXT). The dispatch table
abstracts these differences and provides a uniform API for dealing with
these functions.
The latin subsets feature requires these names. As
cairo-type1-subsets.c depends on FreeType, move these names out to a
separate file to allow compilation without FT.
The cairo-freelist-private.h header has a number of static inline
functions which call hidden functions in libcairo. This poses
a problem on Solaris where the native compiler compiles inline
functions whether they are used or not, thereby adding the
link time requirements on hidden functions from whatever code
that includes cairo-freelist-private.h. Unfortunately the
boilerplate code includes cairo-private headers and indirectly
the freelist header, so linking the boilerplate helper library
fails on Solaris.
This patch separates the structure definitions from the function
prototypes and static inlines in cairo-freelist-private.h by moving
the datatypes to a new cairo-freelist-type-private.h.
A stray backslash bwetween two assignment lines apparently
invokes a GNU make extension for conditional assignments.
This patch fixes the build when using the native Solaris make.
Currently wether internal glew is built is dependant on wether the
tarball in use was built with internal glew or not. And that's not how
it should be.
This is an attempt to fix the broken situation we've been in where
automake links libcairo.la with c++ because it might potentially maybe
include C++ files.
Those potential files only exist in Chris' throwaway backends (skia, qt)
and the BeOS backend, so for 99.99% of cases, these backends are not
needed and linking with c++ is overkill. Also, no one wants to have
libcairo.so link to libstdc++.
This patch fixes that in mutliple steps:
1) Add build infrastructure to distinguish between C and C++ backends.
This is done by allowing to specify backend_sources as well as
backend_cxx_sources variables in Makefile.sources.
2) Optionally build a libcairo_cxx.la noinst library
This intermediate library is built for C++ backends only and therefor
linked using c++. It is then linked into the final libcairo.la. This
does not require c++, so the linking of libcairo.la is done with cc.
This also works around various weirdnesses that the current build system
exposes, where it assumes cisms when in fact using c++ semantics, like
not detecting c++ properly or:

Use cairo_drm_xr_sources/headers for the drm_xr stuff. This makes it
work correctly in gtk-doc instead of conditionally adding it to
cairo_drm_sources/headers.
