2023-08-31modules/pixbounce: make pixbounce threadedVito Caputo
Pixbounce isn't a particularly costly thing to render, but when used as part of a composition, any time wasted with idle CPUs is CPU time potentially stolen from other layers which could be utilizing those CPUs. So in this commit I've done a rather minimal conversion of the pixbounce code to support threaded rendering. It basically doubles+ lone pixbounce FPS in --video=mem tests here.
2023-08-30modules/pixmap: handle baking errors in pixmap_setup()Vito Caputo
More setup_func conversion to returning the failed setting on errors during res_setup baking.
2023-08-29modules/pixbounce: filter same-tick movementsVito Caputo
This needs a bit more work, but at least filtering the same-tick renders avoids the many-movements-per-frame potential when used as something like a checkers::fill_module
2023-08-05til_setup,*: add til_setup_t.creator pointerVito Caputo
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.
2023-05-30til,*: pivot to til_setup_t for context pathsVito Caputo
This changes til_setup_t* from optional to required for til_module_context_t creation, while dropping the separate path parameter construction and passing throughout.
2023-05-28til_setup,*: note settings path in til_setup_tVito Caputo
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.
2023-05-28*: use NULL for free() in til_setup_new()Vito Caputo
Commit 7c8086020 switched the til_setup_new() api to support NULL free_func for free(). This mechanical change pivots to that instead of the awkwardly cast free() parameters.
2023-05-11til_module_context: reference setup from module contextVito Caputo
This just does the obvious pulling in of til_setup_t, holding the reference throughout the lifetime of the module context.
2023-05-11modules/*: remove use of static default setupsVito Caputo
There was a time when it made sense for context creates needing setups but not receiving them to still be functional with some sane defaults. But with recursive settings, we really shouldn't ever have orphaned nested module uses unreachable by a proper setup. So let's just get rid of this fallback, and exclusively rely on the baked setups provided by the .setup() methods. They still have preferred defaults, and the proper setup production machinery is what should be responsible for applying those at runtime where they may also be overridden or otherwise influenced.
2023-05-11til_settings: introduce til_setting_spec_t concept vs. descVito Caputo
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.
2023-01-20til: pass module to .context_create()/til_module_context_new()Vito Caputo
Let's make it so til_module_context_t as returned from til_module_context_new() can immediately be freed via til_module_context_free(). Previously it was only after the context propagated out to til_module_context_create() that it could be freed that way, as that was where the module member was being assigned. With this change, and wiring up the module pointer into til_module_t.create_context() as well for convenient providing to til_module_context_new(), til_module_t.create_context() error paths can easily cleanup via `return til_module_context_free()` But this does require the til_module_t.destroy_context() be able to safely handle partially constructed contexts, since the mid-create failure freeing won't necessarily have all the members initialized. There will probably be some NULL derefs to fix up, but at least the contexts are zero-initialized @ new.
2023-01-11* turn til_fb_fragment_t.stream into a discrete parameterVito Caputo
This was mostly done out of convenience at the expense of turning the fragment struct into more of a junk drawer. But properly cleaning up owned stream pipes on context destroy makes the inappropriateness of being part of til_fb_fragment_t glaringly apparent. Now the stream is just a separate thing passed to context create, with a reference kept in the context for use throughout. Cleanup of the owned pipes on the stream supplied to context create is automagic when the context gets destroyed. Note that despite there being a stream in the module context, the stream to use is still supplied to all the rendering family functions (prepare/render/finish) and it's the passed-in stream which should be used by these functions. This is done to support the possibility of switching out the stream frame-to-frame, which may be interesting. Imagine doing things like a latent stream and a future stream and switching between them on the fly for instance. If there's a sequencing composite module, it could flip between multiple sets of tracks or jump around multiple streams with the visuals immediately flipping accordingly. This should fix the --print-pipes crashing issues caused by lack of cleanup when contexts were removed (like rtv does so often).
2023-01-10*: introduce paths for module contextsVito Caputo
There needs to be a way to address module context instances by name externally, in a manner complementary to settings and taps. This commit adds a string-based path to til_module_context_t, and modifies til_module_create_context() to accept a parent path which is then concatenated with the name of the module to produce the module instance's new path. The name separator used in the paths is '/' just like filesystem paths, but these paths have no relationship to filesystems or files. The root module context creation in rototiller's main simply passes "" as the parent path, resulting in a "/" root as one would expect. There are some obvious complications introduced here however: - checkers in particular creates a context per cpu, simply using the same seed and setup to try make the contexts identical at the same ticks value. With this commit I'm simply passing the incoming path as the parent for creating those contexts, but it's unclear to me if that will work OK. With an eye towards taps deriving their parent path from the context path, I guess these taps would all get the same parent and hash to the same value despite being duplicated. Maybe it Just Works, but one thing is clear - there won't be any way to address the per-cpu taps as-is. Maybe that's desirable though, there's probably not much use in trying to control the taps at the CPU granularity. - when the recursive settings stuff lands, it should bring along the ability to explicitly name settings blocks. Those names should override the module name in constructing the path. I've noted as such in the code. - these paths probably need to be hashed @ initialization time so there needs to be a hash function added to til, and a hash value accompanying the name in the module context. It'd be dumb to keep recomputing the hash when these paths get used for hash table lookups multiple times per frame... there's probably more I'm forgetting right now, but this seems like a good first step. fixup root path
2022-08-07til: til_fb_fragment_t **fragment_ptr all the thingsVito Caputo
Preparatory commit for enabling cloneable/swappable fragments There's an outstanding issue with the til_fb_page_t submission, see comments. Doesn't matter for now since cloning doesn't happen yet, but will need to be addressed before they do.
2022-07-20modules/pixbounce: s/rand/rand_r/Vito Caputo
Wire up seed via til_module_context.seed in the obvious manner, minimal change to the code, no functional difference besides giving pixbounces instances an isolated random seed state.
2022-06-10til: add ticks to til_module_context_tVito Caputo
Also wire this up to the til_module_context_new() helper and all its callers. This is in preparation for modules doing more correct delta-T derived animation.

2022-05-29*: pivot to til_module_context_tVito Caputo
- modules now allocate their contexts using til_module_context_new() instead of [cm]alloc(). - modules simply embed til_module_context_t at the start of their respective private context structs, if they do anything with contexts - modules that do nothing with contexts (lack a create_context() method), will now *always* get a til_module_context_t supplied to their other methods regardless of their create_context() presence. So even if you don't have a create_context(), your prepare_frame() and/or render_fragment() methods can still access seed and n_cpus from within the til_module_context_t passed in as context, *always*. - modules that *do* have a create_context() method, implying they have their own private context type, will have to cast the til_module_context_t supplied to the other methods to their private context type. By embedding the til_module_context_t at the *start* of their private context struct, a simple cast is all that's needed. If it's placed somewhere else, more annoying container_of() style macros are needed - this is strongly discouraged, just put it at the start of struct. - til_module_create_context() now takes n_cpus, which may be set to 0 for automatically assigning the number of threads in its place. Any non-zero value is treated as an explicit n_cpus, primarily intended for setting it to 1 for single-threaded contexts necessary when embedded within an already-threaded composite module. - modules like montage which open-coded a single-threaded render are now using the same til_module_render_fragment() as everything else, since til_module_create_context() is accepting n_cpus. - til_module_create_context() now produces a real type, not void *, that is til_module_context_t *. All the other module context functions now operate on this type, and since til_module_context_t.module tracks the module this context relates to, those functions no longer require both the module and context be passed in. This is especially helpful for compositing modules which do a lot of module context creation and destruction; the module handle is now only needed to create the contexts. Everything else operating on that context only needs the single context pointer, not module+context pairs, which was unnecessarily annoying. - if your module's context can be destroyed with a simple free(), without any deeper knowledge or freeing of nested pointers, you can now simply omit destroy_context() altogether. When destroy_context() is missing, til_module_context_free() will automatically use libc's free() on the pointer returned from your create_context() (or on the pointer that was automatically created if you omitted create_context() too, for the bare til_module_context_t that got created on your behalf anyways). For the most part, these changes don't affect module creation. In some ways this eases module creation by making it more convenient access seed and n_cpus if you had no further requirement for a context struct. In other ways it's slightly annoying to have to do type-casts when you're working with your own context type, since before it was all void* and didn't require casts when assigning to your typed context variables. The elimination for requiring a destroy_context() method in simple free() of private context scenarios removes some boilerplate in simple cases. I think it's a wash for module writers, or maybe a slight win for the simple cases.
2022-05-21til: supply a seed to til_module_t.create_context()Vito Caputo
In the recent surge of ADD-style rtv+compose focused development, a bunch of modules were changed to randomize initial states at context_create() so they wouldn't be so repetitive. But the way this was done in a way that made it impossible to suppress the randomized initial state, which sometimes may be desirable in compositions. Imagine for instance something like the checkers module, rendering one module in the odd cells, and another module into the even cells. Imagine if these modules are actually the same, but if checkers used one seed for all the odd cells and another seed for all the even cells. If the modules used actually utilized the seed provided, checkers would be able to differentiate the odd from even by seeding them differently even when the modules are the same. This commit is a step in that direction, but rototiller and all the composite modules (rtv,compose,montage) are simply passing rand() as the seeds. Also none of the modules have yet been modified to actually make use of these seeds. Subsequent commits will update modules to seed their pseudo-randomized initial state from the seed value rather than always calling things like rand() themselves.

2022-05-01modules/*: make use of generic fragmentersVito Caputo
Just one case, modules/submit, was using 32x32 tiles and is now using 64x64. I don't expect it to make any difference. While here I fixed up the num_cpus/n_cpus naming inconsistencies, normalizing on n_cpus.

2022-04-25modules/*: set TIL_MODULE_OVERLAYABLE where appropriateVito Caputo
In the interests of facilitating randomized automagic layered compositing, tell the world when you're overlay-appropriate.
2022-04-24*: s/void */til_setup_t */Vito Caputo
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.

Just rely on til_init()'s srand() ensuring things are fresh.
2022-03-30*: wire up context-specific setup instancesVito Caputo
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
2022-03-19*: drop til_module_t.licenseVito Caputo
Originally the thinking was that rototiller modules would become dlopen()ed shared objects, and that it would make sense to let them be licensed differently. At this time only some modules I have written were gplv3, Phil's modules are all gplv2, and I'm not inclined to pivot towards a dlopen model. So this commit drops the license field from til_module_t, relicenses my v3 code to v2, and adds a gplv2 LICENSE file to the source root dir. As of now rototiller+libtil and all its modules are simply gplv2, and anything linking in libtil must use a gplv2 compatible license - the expectation is that you just use gplv2.
2021-10-01*: librototiller->libtilVito Caputo
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_.
2021-02-14*: split rototiller.[ch] into lib and mainVito Caputo
This is a first approximation of separating the core modules and threaded rendering from the cli-centric rototiller program and its sdl+drm video backends. Unfortunately this seemed to require switching over to libtool archives (.la) to permit consolidating the per-lib and per-module .a files into the librototiller.a and linking just with librototiller.a to depend on the aggregate of libs+modules+librototiller-glue in a simple fashion. If an alternative to .la comes up I will switch over to it, using libtool really slows down the build process. Those are implementation/build system details though. What's important in these changes is establishing something resembling a librototiller API boundary, enabling creating alternative frontends which vendor this tree as a submodule and link just to librototiller.{la,a} for all the modules+threaded rendering of them, while providing their own fb_ops_t for outputting into, and their own settings applicators for driving the modules setup.
2021-02-08modules/*: normalize description capitalizationVito Caputo
Minor cosmetic consistency fixup
2020-01-25rototiller: introduce ticks and wire up to modulesVito Caputo
Most modules find themselves wanting some kind of "t" value increasing with time or frames rendered. It's common for them to create and maintain this variable locally, incrementing it with every frame rendered. It may be interesting to introduce a global notion of ticks since rototiller started, and have all modules derive their "t" value from this instead of having their own private versions of it. In future modules and general innovations it seems likely that playing with time, like jumping it forwards and backwards to achieve some visual effects, will be desirable. This isn't applicable to all modules, but for many their entire visible state is derived from their "t" value, making them entirely reversible. This commit doesn't change any modules functionally, it only adds the plumbing to pull a ticks value down to the modules from the core. A ticks offset has also been introduced in preparation for supporting dynamic shifting of the ticks value, though no API is added for doing so yet. It also seems likely an API will be needed for disabling the time-based ticks advancement, with functions for explicitly setting its value. If modules are created for incorporating external sequencers and music coordination, they will almost certainly need to manage the ticks value explicitly. When a sequencer jumps forwards/backwards in the creative process, the module glue responsible will need to keep ticks synchronized with the sequencer/editor tool. Before any of this can happen, we need ticks as a first-class core thing shared by all modules. Future commits will have to modify existing modules to use the ticks appropriately, replacing their bespoke variants.
2019-12-30pixbounce: fix bugs, refactor for resizingPhilip J Freeman
- fix bug for square fragments - use create and destroy context hooks instead of globals - refactor to allow fragment resizing - handle extremely small fragments gracefully
2019-11-23rototiller: pass cpu to .render_fragment()Vito Caputo
Mostly mechanical change, though threads.c needed some jiggering to make the logical cpu id available to the worker threads. Now render_fragment() can easily addresss per-cpu data created by create_context().
