Preparatory commit for aspect ratio settings at the fb layer.
This slightly reworks how main::setup_video() integrates the
selected fb backend's setup_func to better resemble how the
module setup_funcs work now, with more clearly separated
settings-building and setup-baking/finalizing phases. Which
makes inserting the ratio setting in the middle of the front-end
and back-end setup_funcs fairly trivial.
Not a fan of all the casts, but there will probably be more
helpers introduced to take care of that and make
til_video_setup_t more of a first-class thing facilitating the fb
stuff.

I noticed the sdl_fb backend seemed to often have significantly
better FPS in fullscreen use vs. drm_fb fullscreen. Looking at
the libdrm api I saw this PREFER_SHADOW capability and noticed my
laptop's gpu driver sets it... With this change, despite the
additional memcpy(), the drm fullscreen FPS seems significantly
better.
A subsequent commit will make this an overridable runtime setting

Phil tripped over this when his TV powered off in the midst of
playing with rototiller over hdmi output.
The NULL mode/connector was being supplied as the
til_setting_spec_t.preferred value throwing an assert in
til_setting_desc_new().
Just detect this exception and return an error.

Particularly with nested modules it's annoying to have to stow
the module separate from the setup during the setup process.
If the baked setup included the module pointer in the
non-module-specific-setup part of the setup, then nested settings
could finalize using the generic module setup wrapper and just
rely on this til_setup_t.creator pointer to contain the
appropriate module. Which should enable tossing out a bunch of
copy-n-pasta surrounding nested modules setup.
Note this has to be a void* since til_setup_t is a generic thing
used equally by both the fb code and the module code. Hence why
this is called "creator" and not "module", as well as the void*
as opposed to til_module_t*.
Also if rototiller ever grows a sound backend, the setup
machinery will be reused there as well, and it'll be yet another
creator handle that isn't an til_fb_ops_t or a til_module_t.
It's assumed that the callers producing these setups won't be
trying to pass them to the wrong places i.e. a module setup
getting passed to an fb backend and vice versa.
I'm mildly annoyed about having to move the various til_module_t
blocks to above the module's foo_setup(), but it seemed like the
least annoying option. This may be revisited.

For meta-demo use cases like alphazed is experimenting with, it's
desirable to change the window title from "rototiller" to
"alphazed" or whatever if in windowed mode.
This adds a way to do that in the obvious fashion...
--title="alphazed" etc.

I thought the build was already using -Wall but that seems to not
be the case, maybe got lost somewhere along the line or messed up
in configure.ac
After forcing a build with -Wall -Werror, these showed up.
Fixed up in the obvious way, nothing too scary.

drm_fb.c did this locally for asprintf() but since then rand_r
and open_memstream have entered the picture as well...
this hasn't been a problem on gnu/linux builds but let's just
globally go _GNU_SOURCE for now. In mingw land I suspect
open_memstream in particular is going to be a PITA and require
replacement, judging from search results anyways

This commit adds passing the settings instance to til_setup_new()
which is used for deriving a path for the setup via
til_settings_print_path() on the supplied settings.
That path gets an allocated copy left in the returned
til_setup_t at til_setup_t.path
This path will exist for the lifetime of the til_setup_t, to be
freed along with the rest of the baked setup instance when the
refcount reaches 0.
The incoming til_settings_t is only read @ til_setup_new() in
constructing the path, no reference is kept. Basically the
til_settings_t* is just passed in for convenience reasons, since
constructing the path needs memory and may fail, this approach
lets the existing til_setup_new() call error handling also
capture the path allocation failures as-is turning
til_setup_new() into a bit more of a convenience helper.
Note that now all code may assume a til_setup_t has a set and
valid til_setup_t.path, which should be useful for context
creates when a setup is available.

For recursive settings the individual setting being described
needs to get added to a potentially different settings instance
than the one being operated on at the top of the current
setup_func phase.
The settings instance being passed around for a setup_func to
operate on is constified, mainly to try ensure modules don't
start directly mucking with the settings. They're supposed to
just describe what they want next and iterate back and forth,
with the front-end creating the settings from the returned descs
however is appropriate, eventually building up the settings to
completion.
But since it's the setup_func that decides which settings
instance is appropriate for containing the setting.. at some
point it must associate a settings instance with the desc it's
producing, one that is going to be necessarily written to.
So here I'm just turning the existing til_setting_desc_t to a
"spec", unchanged. And introducing a new til_setting_desc_t
embedding the spec, accompanied by a non-const til_settings_t*
"container".
Now what setup_funcs use to express settings are a spec,
otherwise identically to before. Instead of cloning a desc to
allocate it for returning to the front-end, the desc is created
from a spec with the target settings instance passed in.
This turns the desc step where we take a constified settings
instance and cast it into a non-const a more formal act of going
from spec->desc, binding the spec to a specific settings
instance. It will also serve to isolate that hacky cast to a
til_settings function, and all the accessors of
til_setting_desc_t needing to operate on the containing settings
instance can just do so.
As of this commit, the container pointer is just sitting in the
desc_t but isn't being made use of or even assigned yet. This is
just to minimize the amount of churn happening in this otherwise
mostly mechanical and sprawling commit.
There's also been some small changes surrounding the desc
generators and plumbing of the settings instance where there
previously wasn't any. It's unclear to me if desc generators
will stay desc generators or turn into spec generators. For now
those are mostly just used by the drm_fb stuff anyways, modules
haven't made use of them, so they can stay a little crufty
harmlessly for now.

It seems like it might be most ergonomic and convenient for
everything to just use til_fb_fragment_t and rely on ops.submit
to determine if the fragment is a page or not, and if it is how
to submit it.
This commit brings things into that state of the world, it feels
kind of gross at the til_fb_page_*() API. See the large comment
in til_fb.c added by this commit for more information.
I'm probably going to just run with this for now, it can always
get cleaned up later. What's important is to get the general
snapshotting concept and functionality in place so modules can
make use of it. There will always be things to cleanup in this
messy tangle of a program.

Until now the fb init has been receiving a til_settings_t to
access its setup. Now that there's a til_setup_t for
representing the fully baked setup, let's bring the fb stuff
up to speed so their init() behaves more like
til_module_t.create_context() WRT settings/setup.
This involves some reworking of how settings are handled in
{drm,sdl}_fb.c but nothing majorly different.
The only real funcitonal change that happened in the course of
this work is I made it possible now to actually instruct SDL to
do a more legacy SDL_WINDOW_FULLSCREEN vs.
SDL_WINDOW_FULLSCREEN_DESKTOP where SDL will attempt to switch
the video mode.
This is triggered by specifying both a size=WxH and fullscreen=on
for video=sdl. Be careful though, I've observed some broken
display states when specifying goofy sizes, which look like Xorg
bugs.

Idea here is to provide texture sources for obtaining pixel
colors at the til_fb_put_pixel/fill drawing API, making it
possible for at least overlayable modules to serve as
mask/stencil operators where their drawn areas are populated by
the contents of another fragment produced dynamically,
potentially by other modules altogether.
This commit adds a texture=modulename option to the compose
module for specifying if a texture should be used when
compositing, excepting and defaulting to "none" for disabling
texturing.
A future commit should expand this compose option to accept a
potential list of modules for composing the texture in the same
way as the main layers= list functions.
Something this all immediately makes clear is the need for
a better settings syntax, probably in the form of all module
setting specifiers optionally being followed by a squence
of settings, with support for escaping to handle nested
situations.

Originally it seemed sensible to make these units of bytes, for
flexibility reasons.
But it's advantageous for everything to be able to assume pixels
are always 4-byte/32-bit aligned. Having the stride/pitch be in
bytes of units made it theoretically possible to produce
unaligned rows of pixels, which would break that assumption.
I don't think anything was ever actually producing such things,
and I've added some asserts to the {sdl,drm}_fb.c page
acquisition code to go fatal on such pages.
This change required going through all the modules and get rid of
their uint32_t vs. void* dances and other such 1-byte vs. 4-byte
scaling arithmetic.
Code is simpler now, and probably faster in some cases. And now
allows future work to just assume things cna always occur 4-bytes
at a time without concern for unaligned accesses.

This brings something resembling an actual type to the private
objects returrned in *res_setup. Internally libtil/rototiller
wants this to be a til_setup_t, and it's up to the private users
of what's returned in *res_setup to embed this appropriately and
either use container_of() or casting when simply embedded at the
start to go between til_setup_t and their private containing
struct.
Everywhere *res_setup was previously allocated using calloc() is
now using til_setup_new() with a free_func, which til_setup_new()
will initialize appropriately. There's still some remaining work
to do with the supplied free_func in some modules, where free()
isn't quite appropriate.
Setup freeing isn't actually being performed yet, but this sets
the foundation for that to happen in a subsequent commit that
cleans up the setup leaks.
Many modules use a static default setup for when no setup has
been provided. In those cases, the free_func would be NULL,
which til_setup_new() refuses to do. When setup freeing actually
starts happening, it'll simply skip freeing when
til_setup_t.free_func is NULL.

This is a preparatory commit for cleaning up the existing sloppy
global-ish application of settings during the iterative _setup()
call sequences.
Due to how this has evolved from a very rudimentary thing
enjoying many assumptions about there ever only being a single
module instance being configured by the settings, there's a lot
of weirdness and inconsistency surrounding module setup WRT
changes being applied instantaneously to /all/ existing and
future context's renderings of a given module vs. requiring a new
context be created to realize changes.
This commit doesn't actually change any of that, but puts the
plumbing in place for the setup methods to allocate and
initialize a private struct encapsulating the parsed and
validated setup once the settings are complete. This opaque
setup pointer will then be provided to the associated
create_context() method as the setup pointer. Then the created
context can configure itself using the provided setup when
non-NULL, or simply use defaults when NULL.
A future commit will update the setup methods to allocate and
populate their respective setup structs, adding the structs as
needed, as well as updating their create_context() methods to
utilize those setups.
One consequence of these changes when fully realized will be that
every setting change will require a new context be created from
the changed settings for the change to be realized.
For settings appropriately manipulated at runtime the concept of
knobs was introduced but never finished. That will have to be
finished in the future to enable more immediate/interactive
changing of settings-like values appropriate for interactive
manipulation

Now that til_setting_t.desc is not only a thing, but a thing that
is intended to be refreshed regularly in the course of things
like GUI interactive settings construction, it's not really
appropriate to try even act like this these are const anymore.

Always only capitalize the first letter, never capitalize like
titles.

The existing iterative *_setup() interface only described
settings not found, quietly accepting usable settings already
present in the til_settings_t.
This worked fine for the existing interactive text setup thing,
but it's especially problematic for providing a GUI setup
frontend.
This commit makes it so the *_setup() methods always describe
undescribed settings they recognize, leaving the setup frontend
loop calling into the *_setup() methods to both apply the
description validation if wanted and actually tie the description
to respective setting returned by the _setup() methods as being
related to the returned description.
A new helper called til_settings_get_and_describe_value() has
been introduced primarily for use of module setup methods to
simplify this nonsense, replacing the til_settings_get_value()
calls and surrounding logic, but retaining the til_setting_desc_t
definitions largely verbatim.
This also results in discarding of some ad-hoc
til_setting_desc_check() calls, now that there's a centralized
place where settings become "described" (setup_interactively in
the case of rototiller).
Now a GUI frontend (like glimmer) would just provide its own
setup_interactively() equivalent for constructing its widgets for
a given *_setup() method's chain of returned descs. Whereas in
the past this wasn't really feasible unless there was never going
to be pre-supplied settings.
I suspect the til_setting_desc_check() integration into
setup_interactively() needs more work, but I think this is good
enough for now and I'm out of spare time for the moment.

Largely mechanical rename of librototiller -> libtil, but
introducing a til_ prefix to all librototiller (now libtil)
functions and types where a rototiller prefix was absent.
This is just a step towards a more libized librototiller, and til
is just a nicer to type/read prefix than rototiller_.
|
|
None of the existing fb_ops_t implementations need this, but due
to how GTK+ works, the GTK+ frontend using librototiller will likely
want to wire up calling fb_flip() on the fb from behind fb_ops.

A lot of errors were being conflated as ENOMEM due to the lazy
use of NULL pointer returns for errors.
This commit reworks a handful of those return paths to instead
return an errno-style int, storing the results on success at a
supplied result pointer.
It's kind of ugly, and I make some assumptions about libdrm
setting errno on failure - it too uses this lazy API of returning
NULL pointers on failure. Hopefully errno is always set by an
underlying ioctl failing.
The SDL error API is also pretty gross, being cross-platform it
defines its own error codes so I try vaguely map these to errno
values.
I'm considering this a first approximation at fixing this up, but
there are probably bugs as I did it real fast and nasty.
It at least seems to all still work OK here in the non-error
paths I tested. So it doesn't seem more broken than before at a
glance.

Some omissions, nothing in these is public outside of what's
explicitly plumbed out via fb_ops_t.
|
|
The put_pixel helpers really needed reworking to properly handle
subframe fragments modules like montage will utilize. I had the
stride present as it's convenient for a number of modules that
maintain a buf pointer as they progress down a row, but the pitch
is more applicable to put_pixel for scaling the y coordinate.
Now there's both pitch and stride so everyone's happy with what's
most convenient for their needs.

Slight refactor to make call sites less annoying.
Now takes a (setting_desc_t *) instead of the members as discrete
parameters, and returns an errno on error so callers can simply
propagate error codes out rather than having to get access to errno
defines, check for NULL and return -ENOMEM etc.
It also makes the call sites self documenting by employing designated
initializers in compound literals for the supplied setting_desc_t.
This is in prep for runtime-configurable module settings.
|
|
The fb_ops entrypoints and their descendants are purely readers
of the settings, so constify their settings_t instances and the
operative functions which only read settings.

This should probably be split into multiple commits, but
for simplicity sake it's all cut over at once.
drm_fb.c sees major changes, migrating the remaining drm-specific bits
from drmsetup into it, behind the settings API.
rototiller.c sees a bunch of scaffolding surrounding the settings API
and wiring it up into the commandline handling and renderers and video
backends.
fb.[ch] see minor changes as settings get plumbed to the backend
drmsetup.[ch] goes bye bye
|
|
Largely mechanical copying of the drm code into the new fb_ops_t
abstraction. Dormant for now.
