Factor out the region-chunking logic of GimpProjection into a new
GimpChunkIterator type, providing a generic mechanism for iterating
over a cairo region in discrete chunks. The iterator doesn't
perform any processing itself, but rather dispenses rectangular
chunks, which the user then processes.
Iteration is broken into intervals, the duration of which is
configurable. Each iteration begins with a call to
gimp_chunk_iterator_next(), after which
gimp_chunk_iterator_get_rect() should be called in succession to
fetch a rectangle to process, until it returns FALSE, which marks
the end of the iteration. Updates to the UI should take place in
the interval between iterations, but not during an iteration. The
iterator dynamically adjusts the chunk size according to processing
speed, in order to match the target iteration interval.
The iterator can be given a priority rectangle, which is processed
before the rest of the region. It can also be given a
representative tile rectangle, defining a regular tile grid;
dispensed chunks are aligned to the tile grid as much as possible.
The scratch allocator has been moved to GEGL (commit
gegl@b99032d799dda3436ffa8c1cc28f8b0d34fb965d). Remove gimp-
scratch, and replace all its uses with gegl-scratch.
This commit completely removes the "Edit -> Fade..." feature,
because...
- The main reason is that "fade" requires us to keep two buffers,
instead of one, for each fadeable undo step, doubling (or worse,
since the extra buffer might have higher precision than the
drawable) the space consumed by these steps. This has notable
impact when editing large images. This overhead is incurred even
when not actually using "fade", and since it seems to be very
rarely used, this is too wasteful.
- "Fade" is broken in 2.10: when comitting a filter, we copy the
cached parts of the result into the apply buffer. However, the
result cache sits after the mode node, while the apply buffer
should contain the result of the filter *before* the mode node,
which can lead to wrong results in the general case.
- The same behavior can be trivially achieved "manually", by
duplicating the layer, editing the duplicate, and changing its
opacity/mode.
- If we really want this feature, now that most filters are GEGL
ops, it makes more sense to just add opacity/mode options to the
filter tool, instead of having this be a separate step.
gimp-scratch is a fast memory allocator (on the order of magnitude
of alloca()), suitable for small (up to a few megabytes), short-
lived (usually, bound to the current stack-frame) allocations.
Unlike alloca(), gimp-scratch doesn't use the stack, and is
therefore safer, and will also serve bigger requests, by falling-
back to malloc().
The allocator itself is very simple: We keep a per-thread stack of
cached memory blocks (allocated using the normal allocator). When
serving an allocation request, we simply pop the top block off the
stack, and return it. If the block is too small, we replace it with
a big-enough block. When the block is freed, we push it back to
the top of the stack (note that even though each thread uses a
separate stack, blocks can be migrated between threads, i.e.,
allocated on one thread, and freed on another thread, although this
is not really an intended usage pattern.) The idea is that the
stacks will ultimately stabalize to contain blocks that can serve
all the encountered allocation patterns, without needing to reisze
any of the blocks; as a consequence, the amount of scratch memory
allocated at any given time should really be kept to a minimum.
This commit implements part of the research paper "A Fast and Efficient
Semi-guided Algorithm for Flat Coloring Line-arts" from the GREYC (the
people from G'Mic). It is meant to select regions from drawn sketchs in
a "smart" way, in particular it tries to close non-perfectly closed
regions, which is a common headache for digital painters and colorists.
The implementation is not finished as it needs some watersheding as well
so that the selected area does not leave "holes" near stroke borders.
The research paper proposes a new watersheding algorithm, but I may not
have to implement it, as it is more focused on automatic colorization
with prepared spots (instead of bucket fill-type interaction).
This will be used in particular with the fuzzy select and bucket fill
tools.
Note that this first version is a bit slow once we get to big images,
but I hope to be able to optimize this.
Also no options from the algorithm are made available in the GUI yet.
The Windows backend produces full, multithreaded backtraces. When
DrMingw is available, it also provides full symbol and (where
available) source-location information. Otherwise, it provides
symbol information for most of our libraries, but not for the GIMP
binary itself.
GimpBacktrace provides an interface for creating and traversing
multi-threaded backtraces, as well as querying symbol information.
While we already have some backtrace functionality, it relies on
external tools for the most part, and as such is rather expensive,
and is only meant for producing opaque backtraces. GimpBacktrace,
on the other hand, is meant to be relatively cheap (we're going to
use it for profiling,) and allow inspection of the backtrace data.
In the future, it might make sense to replace some, or all, of the
other backtrace functions with GimpBacktrace.
GimpBacktrace currently only supports Linux. By default, it uses
dladdr() to query symbol information, which is somewhat limited (in
particular, it doesn't work for static functions.) When libunwind
is installed, GimpBacktrace uses it to get more complete symbol
information. libunwind is currently an optional dependency, but it
might make sense to promote it to a mandatory, or opt-out,
dependency, as it's lightweight and widely available.
On other platforms, the GimpBacktrace interface can still be used,
but it always returns NULL backtraces.
AM_PATH_GLIB_2_0 m4 macro actually computes this value using
$PKG_CONFIG. Yet $PKG_CONFIG variable is the pkg-config tool looking for
target libraries (not host), hence it would return the executable
`glib-compile-resources` built for the target.
Also using the same variable name invalidates our test: our own
AC_PATH_PROG was never run as the variable was already set. And no
environment variable could override this test anymore either. This is
why I rename the test variable to HOST_GLIB_COMPILE_RESOURCES.
(cherry picked from commit d1d9eb17e5)
In subdirs containing a generated foomarshal.h header, add the
generated sources to BUILT_SOURCES, so that they're generated
before the rest of the source files are built. Otherwise, since
there is no rule specifying the dependency between the rest of the
source files and foomarshal.h, and since foomarshal.h is not
checked into git (and hence doesn't exist when doing a clean
build), compilation of the said source files may fail if they're
built before foomarshal.h is generated.
Add gimp_drawable_set_format() as low-level part of
gimp_layer_fix_format_space(), and add a special undo type for it that
only remembers the format and not the entire drawable buffer, because
all pixels stay the same.
GIMP_APP_VERSION does not include the micro version.
Also make version comparison with org.gimp.GIMP mandatory to force good
practice. This way, extension makers will have to advertize the version
of GIMP it works for, which will make a sane ecosystem of working
extensions only (hopefully!).
Right now it only loads AppStream data, which is completely useless, yet
is a base of a managed extension system. Having proper metadata is what
will allow to actually know what is installed.
This is only the first draft.
Note that I am not adding the extension path into GimpCoreConfig on
purpose, since the point is not to have people manage their extension
directories manually anymore.
The extensions will be loaded from the build-time system path or the
config directory, and that's all.
What will probably be stored in the config though will be the remote
repositories URLs (allowing third-party extension repositories).
Treat the gimp-core-pixbufs and gimp-icon-pixbufs resources like we
changed the cursor resources before, and clean out a lot of cruft from
icons/ (there is no need to generate stuff in all icon themes when we
include only one fallback icon from one theme).
specified by GimpDataLoaderEntry structs. Remove the same code from
GimpDataFactory and make it an abstract base class that only serves as
an interface for actual implementations. Also move around some stuff
in GimpDataFactory and remove virtual functions that were a bad idea
in the first place.
GimpAsyncSet represents a dynamic set of running GimpAsync objects.
The objects are automatically removed from the set once they're
synced.
GimpAsyncSet implements the GimpWaitable and GimpCancelable
interfaces, allowing the entire set to be waited-on or canceled.
Additionally, GimpAsyncSet provides an "empty" property, which
indicates whether the set is empty or not. This allows responding
to the completion of all the GimpAsync objects through the set's
"notify::empty" signal, or drive UI changes through property
bindings.
GimpTriviallyCancelableWaitable is a proxy object for another
GimpWaitable object, implementing both the GimpWaitable interface
and the GimpCancelable interface. While waiting on the proxy
simply waits on the underlying waitable, canceling the proxy
doesn't affect the underlying waitable, even if it implements
the GimpCancelable interface as well, but rather causes subsequent
wait operations on the proxy to successfully complete immediately.
This essentially causes cancelation to abort only the wait, rather
than the underlying operation.
GimpUncancelableWaitable is a simple proxy object for another
GimpWaitable object, implementing only the GimpWaitable interface.
Its main purpose is to mask away the cancelability of an object
implementing both GimpWaitable and GimpCancelable.
... which provides a set of higher-level lock-free atomic
operations.
Currently, the only two operations are
gimp_atomic_slist_push_head() and gimp_atomic_slist_pop_head(),
which atomically push/pop the first element of a GSList.
GimpAsync represents an asynchronous task, running without blocking
the main thread. It provides functions that allow waiting for
completion, queueing completion callbacks, and requesting
calcelation. See the code for more details.
The interface and the implementation are intentionally limited for
the time being, to keep things simple, and are geared toward
asynchronous tasks executed on a separate thread (see the next
commit). The public interface is relatively general, however, and
we may extend the implementation to support other kinds of tasks at
some point, who knows...
Absolute paths not to be used in $XDG_CONFIG/GIMP/{version}/tags.xml.
These are actually only an identifier, and not used as a path at all
anyway. Moreover MyPaint brushes even generate checksum (which allows
to remap the GimpData appropriately even if the paths are changing).
But anyway it's better not to have absolute paths when we can prevent
so.
Last commit caused -xobjective-c to be passed during linking on
Mac, causing object files to be treated as source files. Add a
-xnone flag to AM_LDFLAGS, canceling the effect of -xobjective-c.
Additinally, add a -xobjective-c++ flag to AM_CXXFLAGS, so that we
can use Objective-C in C++ files on Mac, if we ever need to.
On Mac, pass -xobjective-c to the compiler through AM_CFLAGS, not
AM_CPPFLAGS, so that it's only used for C sources, and not C++
sources. In the latter case, it clashes with the -std=... flag,
spewing an error. Thanks, Partha :)
The next commit is going to parallelize gimpbrush-transform using
the gimp_parallel_distribute_foo() functions. To spare us a lot of
boilerplate code, we're going to use C++ lambdas as callback
arguments to these functions.
This commit does the initial conversion of gimpbrush-transform.c to
C++, renaming it to gimpbrush-transform.cc. We do this in a
separate commit, so that the changes are small enough for git to
register this as a renamed file, rather than a new file, so that we
don't lose the file's history.
Add gimp-parallel.[cc,h], which provides a set of parallel
algorithms.
These currently include:
- gimp_parallel_distribute(): Calls a callback function in
parallel on multiple threads, passing it the current thread
index, and the total number of threads. Allows specifying the
maximal number of threads used.
- gimp_parallel_distribute_range(): Splits a range of integers
between multiple threads, passing the sub-range to a callback
function. Allows specifying the minimal sub-range size.
- gimp_parallel_distribute_area(): Splits a rectangular area
between multiple threads, passing the sub-area to a callback
function. Allows specifying the minimal sub-area.
The callback function is passed using an appropriately-typed
function pointer, and a user-data pointer. Additionally, when used
in a C++ file, each of the above functions has an overloaded
template version, taking the callback through a generic parameter,
without a user-data pointer, which allows using function objects.
GimpObjectQueue implements a queue of GimpObjects. It derives from
GimpSubProgress, and hence can be used as a GimpProgress object.
It keeps track of the total memsize of the objects that were
pushed-to and popped-from the queue, and uses these numbers to set
the corresponding subrange of the progress object when an object is
popped.
This provides an easy way to perform an operation on a set of
objects, correctly reporting progress based on the relative sizes
of the objects, which is assumed to be a good estimate of the
relative cost of processing each object.
gimp_spawn_async() is similar to, but more limited than,
g_spawn_sync(). Unlike the latter, gimp_spawn_async() uses
vfork(), instead of fork(), when possible.
On Linux, a process that uses large amounts of memory (as GIMP may)
can hang during a fork() if overcommitting is enabled, and there's
not enough memroy. Using vfork() avoids that, since it doesn't
duplicate the parent's address space.
Update the dprod production of generated enum files to include
abbreviated value descriptions, as per the previous commits.
Add a comment for translators above the abbreviated descriptions,
specifying the full description they abbreviate.
Add a framework for saving and restoring internal data objects, in
gimp-internal-data.c. Internal data objects are saved in separate
files under a new "internal-data" subdirectory of the user's gimp
directory. The internal data is saved, restored, and cleared
together with the tool options.
Use this to save and restore the custom gradient. In the future,
we might add similar writable internal data objects that we'd want
to save.
glib-genmarshal was rewritten in glib 2.53.4, and as of now (2.53.6)
it has a bug where it unconditionally generates marshaler bodies,
even for standard marshalers, even with --stdinc. This causes
libgimpwidgets to define and export g_cclosure_marshal_VOID__INT()
and g_cclosure_marshal_VOID__OBJECT(), which upsets defcheck, and
breaks the build.
Work around this for now by using --header --body when generating
the marshal.c files, which includes the prototypes in the source,
instead of including the header ourselves. This is the only code
path where the new glib-genmarshal doesn't generate bodies for
standard marshalers. Note, however, that this usage is deprecated,
so we'll probably want to change it back once it's fixed.
GimpTileHandlerProjectable is similar to GimpTileHandlerValidate,
except that it calls {begin,end}_render() on its associated
projectable before validating.
Commit 1e6acbd4e1 modified the
generated enum recipes to run gimp-mkenums from the source
directory, instead of the build directory, so that only the
basenames of the corresponding header files would appear in
the comment at the top of the generated files. This was a
mistake -- $(GIMP_MKENUMS) is expecting to be invoked from the
build directory.
Switch back to running gimp-mkenums from the build directory. To
avoid including the relative path from the build directory to the
source directory in the generated file, add a @basename@ production
variable to gimp-mkenums, which exapnds to the basename of the
input file, and use it instead of @filename@ in the recipes for the
generated enum files.
When regenerating an enum file, don't copy it back to the source
directory if it hasn't actually changed. This allows using a read-
only source directory where the enum header is newer than the
generated file, as long as they're not really out of sync.
OTOH, *do* touch the generated source-dir file even when unchanged,
in order to avoid re-running its recipe on the next build, however,
allow this to silently fail (which is harmless).
A subclass of GimpDrawableStack, for layer stacks. Invalidates the
layers' backdrop as/when necessary, according to the value of their
excludes_backdrop property.
Make gimp_drawable_stack_update() protected, instead of private, so
that we can use it in GimpLayerStack.
We check them into git, so this makes it easier to keep them in
sync when using a separate build directory.
Case in point -- this commit also syncs a few enum files that went
out-of-sync with their headers.
and to operations/layer-modes/, respectively.
Add gimp_layer_modes_init() which asserts on the correct order of the
GimpLayerModeInfo array, and switch to accessing the array directly in
gimp_layer_mode_info().
