2022-07-15til_fb: switch til_fb_ops_t.init() to use til_setup_tVito Caputo
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.
2022-05-01til_fb: add draw flags for controlling texturabilityVito Caputo
Just adds TIL_FB_DRAW_FLAG_TEXTURABLE so callers can granularly inhibit texturing if desired.
2022-05-01til_fb: introduce a fragment texture sourceVito Caputo
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.
2022-04-27til_fb: til_fb_fragment_t.{pitch,stride} uint32_t unitsVito Caputo
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.
2022-04-27til_fb: fix til_fb_fragment_fill() memset() misuseVito Caputo
This braino wasn't actually showing itself in any output since it was always being used to fill either 0xffffffff or 0x00000000. But if an actual pixel having distinct RGB values were supplied, it wouldn't have worked right as just the low char was being written to the destination buffer's bytes. Additionally I think the til_fb_fragment_t.{pitch,stride} members should probably change to the number of pixels (uint32_t) vs. bytes. The thinking initially was to facilitate describing fragments having rows split up with arbitrary numbers of bytes. Having a constraint of requiring the pixels always be 32-bit aligned ensures dword-at-a-time optimized copies can always succeed without something like SIGBUS occurring. When such a constraint is respected, the pitch/stride will always be 32-bit aligned so they should just describe numbers of pixels. Except, one can imagine scenarios where writing bytes at a time instead of uint32_t's at a time can produce interesting color-staggerring effects, and introducing a deliberate offset in the pitch/stride making it unaligned can be interesting. I'm leaving it all alone for now, but there's already assumptions being made about doing uint32_t-grained operations on the fragment's buf. Even the til_fb_fragment_t.buf's type is a uint32_t* already, and it forces us to use a void* or char* version of the pointer to apply pitch/stride as in this commit.
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.
2022-04-19*: s/til_fb_fragment_zero/til_fb_fragment_clear/Vito Caputo
Mechanical renaming of "zero" to "clear" throughout for this context.
2022-04-19til_fb: introduce til_fb_fragment_fill()Vito Caputo
Just adding a convenience function targeting simple overlay use cases where the fragmenter is exploited for producing patterns and the renderer may wish to fill those fragments vs. zero them. A future commit should also really rename til_fb_fragment_zero() to til_fb_fragment_clear()
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*: de-constify til_setting_t throughoutVito Caputo
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.
2022-03-12til_settings: always describe relevant settingsVito Caputo
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.
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_.
