...but disable them for now. Configs will be added for the projects to
support Vulkan-enabled builds which will then enable the builds of these
sources. Extra commands and items will be needed for the GSK resources
along with ensuring GSK_RENDERER_GSK being defined for the build of GDK,
GDK-Win32 and GSK so that the builds of Vulkan-enabled builds can be done
properly.
Filter out the Vulkan sources from the 'dist hook' rules in
gsk/Makefile.am as we don't want to in turn include them twice in the
projects when the 'make dist' is performed on a system with Vulkan
builds enabled.
Note: We interpolate premultiplied colors as per the CSS spec. This i
different from Cairo, which interpolates unpremultiplied.
So in testcases with translucent gradients, it's actually Cairo that is
wrong.
This is now tracking the clips added by the clip nodes.
If any particular node can't deal with a clip, it falls back to Cairo
rendering. But if it can, it will render it directly.
This way we can pass the command pool around.
And that allows us to allocate and submitcustom buffers.
And that is necessary to make staging images work.
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.
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.
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).
This merged gtk, gdk and gsk into one library, making it possible to
have internal private APIs between gtk them, as well as producing more
efficient code.

This adds the initial MSVC build items needed to build GSK under Visual Studio,
this is part of it that is required, we need to add items to the property sheets
to generate the code that is generated via glib-mkenums and glib-compile-resources.
This set includes, with the autotools scripts for the complete:
-GSK project files, which is integrated into the gtk+-4.sln.
-The NMake snippets to build the introspection files for GSK.
-The .bat files to call glib-mkenums to generate the enumeration sources.
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.
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).
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.
