The new xcb surface uses xcb_writev() and xcb_take_socket()
which were introduced in libxcb 1.1.92. The boilerplate
in turn uses the major_code and minor_code fields in
xcb_generic_error_t, which were introduced in 1.4.
Autoconf was complaining that AC_COMPILE_IFELSE and AC_RUN_IFELSE
were called before AC_GNU_SOURCE. Moving AC_GNU_SOURCE right after
AC_INIT solves this.
drm makes use of 64bit offsets when mmaping, and so we require the
64bit file interfaces. I had presumed that it would be pulled in with
AC_GNU_SOURCE, but no.
Trying to build xcb on a system without SHM wrapped by xcb. The right
answer would be to build libxcb-shm. The quick answer is to compile out
shm support.
Still an experimental backend, it's now a little too late to stabilise
for 1.10, but this should represent a major step forward in its feature
set and an attempt to catch up with all the bug fixes that have been
performed on xlib. Notably not tested yet (and expected to be broken)
are mixed-endian connections and low bitdepth servers (the dithering
support has not been copied over for instance). However, it seems robust
enough for daily use...
Of particular note in this update is that the xcb surface is now capable
of subverting the xlib surface through the ./configure --enable-xlib-xcb
option. This replaces the xlib surface with a proxy that forwards all
operations to an equivalent xcb surface whilst preserving the cairo-xlib
API that is required for compatibility with the existing applications,
for instance GTK+ and Mozilla. Also you can experiment with enabling a
DRM bypass, though you need to be extremely foolhardy to do so.
We were using _GNU_SOURCE throughout the codebase, so simply define it
once during configure. This is the easiest method to enable recursive
mutexes using pthreads, as required in a pending patch.
Enable "ld_preload" (DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES + DYLD_FORCE_FLAT_NAMESPACE)
and build cairo-trace as a library instead of a module to make it
work also on MacOS X.
This appears to be the simplest mechanism to build libglew at the moment -
should a system copy be unavailable. Fortunately libglew is now distributed
under a permissive licence.
If you want to pass 'make -C src check' you have to use the system copy,
or spend quite a bit of time cairo-fying libglew.
There you go Joonas, I don't always ignore your suggestions! This is
simple patch to allow the user to disable symbol loops in case the
auto-detection fails on some obscure (perhaps OpenBSD) platform. Or in
case the user really wants to trim a few bytes from a library only used
during tracing!
Some environments may be broken beyond our capabilities to detect, or
maybe the user is just insane and doesn't want to build my nice shiny
cairo-trace. Whatever, give them the option to choose:
$ ./configure --disable-trace
For the purposes of benchmarking it is useful to run cairo-perf against a
different library from the one it was compiled against. In order to do so,
we need to check that the runtime library contains the required entry
points for our targets - which we can check by using dlsym.
Originally written by Vladimir Vukicevic to investigate using Skia for
Mozilla, it provides a nice integration with a rather interesting code
base. By hooking Skia underneath Cairo it allows us to directly compare
code paths... which is interesting.

A very simple surface that produces a hierarchical DAG in a simple XML
format. It is intended to be used whilst debugging, for example with the
automatic regression finding tools of cairo-sphinx, and with test suites
that just want to verify that their code made a particular Cairo call.
sphinx is an alternate version of the current cairo-test-trace. It's
purpose is to replay a live application (which may just be a replay of a
trace) against a backend and its reference. The improvement over the
original cairo-test-trace is that the reference backend may be from an
older version of cairo.
This is a simple variation on cairo-trace that wraps records the last 16
contexts by wrapping the target surface inside a tee surface, along with a
meta/recording surface. Then on receipt of a SIGUSR1, those last 16
contexts are played via a script-surface into /tmp/fdr.trace.
Mostly proof-of-concept, it seems to be causing a number of rendering
glitches whilst testing with firefox -- otherwise, it seems to works.
Add a new surface type that multiplies it input onto several output
surfaces. The only limitation is that it requires a master surface that is
used whenever we need to query surface options, such as font options and
extents.
Use the DRM interface to h/w accelerate composition on image surfaces.
The purpose of the backend is simply to explore what such a hardware
interface might look like and what benefits we might expect. The
use case that might justify writing such custom backends are embedded
devices running a drm compositor like wayland - which would, for example,
allow one to write applications that seamlessly integrated accelerated,
dynamic, high quality 2D graphics using Cairo with advanced interaction
(e.g. smooth animations in the UI) driven by a clutter framework...
In this first step we introduce the fundamental wrapping of GEM for intel
and radeon chipsets, and, for comparison, gallium. No acceleration, all
we do is use buffer objects (that is use the kernel memory manager) to
allocate images and simply use the fallback mechanism. This provides a
suitable base to start writing chip specific drivers.
Based on the work by Øyvind Kolås and Pierre Tardy -- many thanks to
Pierre for pushing this backend for inclusion as well as testing and
reviewing my initial patch. And many more thanks to pippin for writing the
backend in the first place!
Hacked and chopped by myself into a suitable basis for a backend. Quite a
few issues remain open, but would seem to be ready for testing on suitable
hardware.
The meta-surface is a vital tool to record a trace of drawing commands
in-memory. As such it is used throughout cairo.
The value of such a surface is immediately obvious and should be
applicable for many applications. The first such case is by
cairo-test-trace which wants to record the entire graph of drawing commands
that affect a surface in the event of a failure.
