The new renderers don't support them due to the required complexity of
integrating them with Vulkan and the assumptions those nodes make about
the renderer (the GL renderer exports its internal APIs into the
GLShader).
There haven't been any complaints that I'm aware of since 4.14 was
released where the default renderer does not support the nodes, so usage
in public seems to be close to nonexistant.
The 2 uses I know of were workarounds about missing features in GTK that
have stopped since GTK now supports them:
1. GStreamer used in to do premultiplication when the old GL renderer
did not do so in hardware but on the CPU.
2. Adwaita used it for masking before the mask node wa added in 4.10.
Use it to overlay an error pattern over all Cairo drawing done by
renderers.
This has 2 purposes:
1. It allows detecting fallbacks in GPU renderers.
2. Application code can use it to detect where it is using Cairo
drawing.
As such, it is meant to trigger both with cairo nodes as well as when
renderers fallback for regular nodes.
The old use of the debug flag - which were 2 not very useful print
statements - was removed.
During rendering, restack offloaded subsurfaces below the main
surface, and clear the area so they peek through. After rendering,
raise the last subsurface if we haven't drawn over it.
It started out as busywork, but it does many separate things. If I could
start over, I'd take them apart into multiple commits:
1. Remove G_ENABLE_DEBUG around GDK_DEBUG_*() calls
This is not needed at all, the calls themselves take care of it.
2. Remove G_ENABLE_DEBUG around profiling code
This now enables profiling support in release builds.
3. Stop poking _gdk_debug_flags and use GDK_DEBUG_CHECK()
This was old code that was never updated.
4. Make !G_ENABLE_DEBUG turn off GDK_DEBUG_CHECK()
The code used to
#define GDK_DEBUG_CHECK(...) false
#define GDK_DEBUG(...)
which would compile away all the code inside those macros. This
means a lot of variable definitions and debug utility functions
would suddenly no longer be used and cause compiler errors.
Drawing a texture-scale node like a texture node when the filter is set
to "linear" doesn't work, because the texture node switches to
trilinear when mipmaps are available.
This is useful for colorizing in the same fashion we do for the glyph
texture atlas. In fact, for small GdkTexture, you will end up in something
like the icon texture atlas.
The primary motivator for this optimization is to draw various glyph-like
features from VTE such as many forms of boxes, lines, arrows, etc.
We don't need to be calling type node conformity checking from the tight
loop of the renderjob. Hoist that into the private header and use that
intead through via the Class pointer.
Like the previous change, this uses GdkArrayImpl instead of GArray for
tracking modelview changes. This is less important than clip tracking
simple due to being used less, but it keeps the implementation synchronous
with the Clip tracking code.
We can end up spending a lot of time in g_array_maybe_expand() through the
use of g_array_set_size() for clip tracking. That is somewhat due to the
simple nature of GArray being size-dynamic. Instead, we can use
GdkArrayImpl and let the compiler do what it does best to elide some
work and hoist other work into the calling function.
This also fixes a potential UAF in gsk_gl_render_job_push_contained_clip().
The source uniform may or may not point
to a glyph atlas. The optimization we do
for color nodes is only possible if it does,
so check this.
Fixes: #6094
Take a rendernode as source and a GskPath and GskStroke,
and fill the area that is covered when stroking the path
with the given stroke parameters, like cairo_stroke() would.
Add a bunch of inline functions for graphene_rectangle_t.
We use those quite extensively in tight loops so making them as fast as
possible via inlining has massive benefits.
The current render-heavy benchmark I am playing (th paris-30k in node-editor)
went from 49fps to 85fps on my AMD.
When the command queue is out of batches, there is
no point in doing further work like allocating uniforms.
This helps us avoid assertions in the uniform code
that we would hit when we run out of uniform space
too.
