This is pretty trivial, but also quite annoying due to details like
mismatching eglGetProcAddress() function signature (most callers just
cast the function pointer), and ARM/Linux hacks. So move them all to one
place.
Useful for testing. Unfortunately, the nVidia EGL driver ignores this,
and returns a GLES 3.2 context anyway (which it is allowed to do). Might
still be useable with ANGLE, which will really give you a GLES 2 context
if you ask for it.
This replaces the old backend that exclusively used EGL windowing with
one that can also use ANGLE's ability to render to directly to a
texture. The advantage of this is that it allows mpv to create the swap
chain itself and this allows mpv to use a flip-mode swap chain on a HWND
(which avoids problems with DirectComposition) and to use a longer swap
chain that has six backbuffers by default (which reportedly fixes
problems with rendering 24fps video on 24Hz monitors.)
Also, "screenshot window" should now work on DXGI 1.2 and up (Windows 8
and up.)
It was basically inverted. Not sure how this even happened. Hopefully
it's more an "I don't know what I was doing" instead of an "I don't know
what I am doing" case.
This is actually a pretty important fix. eglChooseConfig() might be the
first thing that fails when porobing for desktop GL / ES2 / ES3 support,
because EGL_RENDERABLE_TYPE is set values specific to the underlying
APIs.
Not sure how the hell this worked before. EGL 1.4 implementations
certainly could fail the call with EGL_BAD_ATTRIBUTE if
EGL_RENDERABLE_TYPE has EGL_OPENGL_ES3_BIT set. It's quite possible that
many EGL implementations tolerate invalid EGLConfig values steming from
uininitialized EGLConfig values (and eglCreateWindowSurface() even is
specified to return EGL_BAD_CONFIG error code for "not valid"
EGLConfigs).
Preparation for the following commits. Since at least theoretically the
config selection depends on the context type (EGL_RENDERABLE_TYPE has
separate bits for ES 2, ES 3, and desktop GL), doing it any other way
would be too painful.
For X11 garbage we have to pass some annoying parameters to EGL context
creation. Add some sort of extensible API, so that adding a new
parameter doesn't break all callers. We still want to keep it as a
single function, because it's so nice isolating all the EGL nonsense API
boilerplate like this. (Did I mention yet that X11 and EGL are garbage?)
Also somewhat simplifies the vo_flags mess in the helper internals.
Stops Mesa from restricting us to OpenGL 3.0. It also tries to create
GLES 3 contexts for drivers which do not just return a higher context
when requesting GLES 2.
I don't know whether this code is a good or bad idea. A not-so-good
aspect is that we don't check for EGL 1.5 (or 1.4 extensions) for some
of the more advanced context attributes. But EGL implementations should
be able to tolerate it and return an error, and then we'd use the
fallback.
Add a function to egl_helpers.c for creating an EGL context and make
context_x11egl.c use it. This is meant to be generic, and should work
with other windowing APIs as well. The other EGL-using code in mpv can
be switched to it.
Until now, we've used system-specific API (GLX, EGL, etc.) to retrieve
the depth of the default framebuffer. (We equal this to display depth
and use the determined depth for dithering.)
We can actually retrieve this value through standard GL API, and it
works everywhere (except GLES 2 of course). This simplifies everything a
great deal.
egl_helpers.c is empty now. But I expect that some EGL boilerplate will
be moved to it, so don't remove it yet.
Do this to make the license situation less confusing.
This change should be of no consequence, since LGPL is compatible with
GPL anyway, and making it LGPL-only does not restrict the use with GPL
code.
Additionally, the wording implies that this is allowed, and that we can
just remove the GPL part.
This is used for dithering, although I'm not aware of anyone who got
higher than 8 bit depth support to work on Linux.
Also put this into egl_helpers.c. Since EGL is pseudo-portable at best I
have no hope that the EGL context creation code in all the backends can
be fully shared. But some self-contained functionality can definitely be
shared.
