And move the actual rendering code there.
A RenderPass is a collection of operations on the same target that
get executed one after another. It roughly targets VkRenderPass or
rather the subpasses of a VkRenderPass.
For now, only the infrastructure is there. No real stuff is happening.
This is refactoring work.
GskVulkanRender is supposed to be the global object for a render
operation, ie GskVulkanRenderer.render() will create this object for
what it does.
The object will be split into stages that perform the operations
necessary to create a drawing.
Instead of using a staging iamge, we require the final image to be
linearly allocated and have host-visible memory.
This improves performance quite a bit.
The old code is still there and can be enabled with a simple change
to a #define in gskvulkanimage.h
We can now upload vertices.
And we use this to draw a yellow background. Which is clearly superior
to not drawing anything.
Also, we have shaders now. If you modify them, you need glslc installed
so they can be recompiled into Spir-V bytecode.
This is a way to query the damaged area of the backbuffer.
The GL renderer uses this to compute the extents of that damage region
(computed via buffer age) and use them to minimize the area to redraw.
This changes the semantics of GL rendering to "When calling
gdk_window_begin_frame() with a GL context, the area by
gdk_gl_context_get_damage() needs to be redrawn and every other pixel of
the backbuffer is guaranteed to be correct.
After gdk_window_end_frame() on a GL-drawn window, the whole backbuffer
must be correct.
We can always glXBufferSwap() now because of this.
... instead of a gl context.
This requires some refactoring in the way we mark the shared context as
drawing: We now call begin_frame/end_frame() on it and ignore the call
on the main context.
Unfortunately we need to do this check in all vfuncs, which sucks. But I
haven't found a better way.
Reenable GL drawing, but do it without Cairo.
Now, the context passed to gdk_window_begin_draw_frame() decides how
drawing is going to happen. If it is NULL, Cairo is used like before.
If a context is passed, Cairo may not be used for drawing and
gdk_drawing_context_get_cairo_context() is going to return NULL.
Instead, the GL renderer must draw to the GL backbuffer and
end_draw_frame() is then swapping that to the front.
The GskGLRenderer has lost the texture it used to render to and adapted
to render directly to the backbuffer instead.
The only thing missing is for GtkGLArea to gain back a performant way to
render. But it didn't have one since the introduction of GSK, this
patchset doesn't change anything about it.
The new rendering avoids two indirections (the GSK renderer's texture
and the GDK double buffering surface).
It improves icon count in the fishbowl demo by 30%.
This way, we don't spam criticals when GL is not available. Instead, we
print a useful debug message to stderr and continue with the Cairo renderer.

and remove gsk_renderer_get_for_display().
This new function returns a realized renderer. Because of that, GSK can
catch failures to realize, destroy the renderer and try another one.
Or in short: I can finally use GTK on Weston with the nvidia binary
drivers again.

Instead of having a gsk_renderer_set_window() call, pass the window to
realize(). This way, the realization can fail with the wrong window.

This allows renderers (or anyone really) to attach "render data" to
textures. Only the first render data sticks.
You can gsk_texture_set_render_data() with the key you will use to
look the data up again, and if no data has been set yet, yours will be
set.
You can retrieve this data via gsk_texture_get_render_data() later on.
If your data has been cleared, NULL will be returned.
When gsk_texture_clear_render_data() is called (which the texture will
call when it is finalized), your destory notify will be called and you
have to release your render data.
The GL driver uses this to attach texture ids to GskTextures.
We do no longer bind textures to a renderer, instead they are a way for
applications to provide texture data.
For now, that's it. We've reverted to uploading it from scratch every
frame.
This happens in regular code paths for example when trying to render the
empty text string. We don't want to store a surface on the render
node in such a case (so actual rendering isn't slowed down), but we do
want to return a working cairo context that is not in an error state
(so the cairo rendering can continue without error messages).
Now that GTK+ is built as a single DLL, and the .lib that is built is
gtk-4.lib, we need to update the autotools sections in generating the
NMake Makefile snippets so that we can have the correct commands and flags
for building the .gir files, which will all now link to gtk-4-vsXX.dll (or
so).
Now that the autotools build folded the GDK/GSK bits into the main GTK+
DLL, there are some updates that need to be done for this. We need to:
-Fold the DllMain() of GDK-Win32 into the main GTK+ DllMain(), as we need
the HINSTANCE to register the window. We can't have two DllMain()'s in a
single DLL.
-Remove the GDK rc(.in) files, as that is not used anymore. Make the GTK+
.rc(.in) file load the gtk.ico GTK+ logo file instead so that we still
get the GTK+ logo for the application icon by default. Update the
autotools build files as well.
-Revert commit b9f9980 as LRN pointed out in comment 25 in bug 773299, as
GTK+ is now a monolithic DLL, and we ought not to export this private
function.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=773299
gtk/inspector/rendernodeview.c calls this private function from GSK, so we
need to ensure that this function is exported so that GTK+ can link
properly on compilers that do not support automatic exporting.

The GLSL versions are:
OpenGL 2.1: #version 110
OpenGL 3.0: #version 130
OpenGL 3.2: #version 150
OpenGLES 2.0: #version 100
OpenGLES 3.0: #version 300 es
So we need to check the version of the GdkGLContext if we want use the
appropriate version, especially for legacy OpenGL contexts, which can be
both 3.x and 2.x.
We want to have the coordinate system of the created cairo surface to be
identical to the coordinate system of the node's bounds. For that, we
need to translate the cairo surface by the bounds' origin.
