Our primary target is Texture From Pixmap and it is supported
by all important drivers nowadays. If a driver is not able to
support TFP using OpenGL at all is probably no good idea and
XRender is more suited.
When rendering opaque (RGB-only) windows the alpha ends up to be 0
with blending disabled. This breaks subsequent rendering steps which
require blenden (e.g. Lanczos). Therefore a uniform is used to ensure
that the alpha channel is set to 1.
The vertex buffer implementation uses the shader manager to decide
whether core painting should be used or not. Shader manager is only
used by shaders using vertex attributes instead of gl_Vertex etc.
A color can be specified to render the geometry of the VBO.
For legacy painting glColor is used, for shader a uniform is set.
In order to allow rendering without texcoords, it is possible to pass
a null pointer as texcoords.
Shader added to scene which just renders a colored geometry without texturing.
Adds a shader to render an untransformed scene. renderGLGeometry is not used any more and replaced by generated triangles stored in a GLVertexBuffer.
The GLVertexBuffer has a new attribute to decide whether a core profile compatible rendering has to be performed.
Currently windows and EffectFrames can make use of the new shader.
The shader contains a debug mode which colours all rendered fragments in green. It is currently enabled in scene_opengl.
Rendering transformed geometries (without shader) is currently broken.

to how many pixmaps can be bound to textures simultaneously when using
indirect rendering, which we can end up exceeding with the changes

This worksaround a problem with the nouveau driver causing
the text frames to be incorrectly rendered. We need to keep
the QPixmap around as long as we have a texture created from
that texture.
This applies for the text and the unstyled effect frame. For
the frames generated from Plasma's FrameSvgs it is not required.

This allows an effect to fade between old and new text/icon. As an example it's added to CoverSwitch.

Rendering of the EffectFrame is moved into the scene as Scene::EffectFrame with a concrete implementation in SceneXrender and SceneOpenGL.
A factory method for an EffectFrame is added to the EffectsHandler, which is used by the effects.
Next step: pass the EffectFrame through all effects, so that effects can transform, blur, invert whatever it.

With Intel drivers currently the self check at KWin startup fails (no idea why) and KWin falls back to XRender. This is probably an explanation for all the complaints about slow kwin in 4.5 and the missing effects. So let's fail and make it possible to restart compositing via systemsettings and alt+shift+f12.
Nevertheless it would be nice to fix the the failing selfcheck...

second test fails for some reason with BadAlloc in glXCreatePixmap().
Maybe nvidia bug, but could be also some hidden KWin bug (according
to GLX docs, glXCreatePixmap() can give BadAlloc only when it can't
allocate, which is nonsense here, but glXCreateWindow() says that
BadAlloc may mean calling it twice on the same window, so maybe
here it's twice with the same pixmap - I don't see where the bug
could be though).

The 'ignore ARGB visuals' option from Kompmgr probably doesn't make

for use in effects (and not only). Now a list of window quads (=window areas)
is created at the beginning of the paint pass, prepaint calls can modify
the split itself (i.e. divide it into more parts). The actual paint calls
can then modify these quads (i.e. transform their geometry). This will allow
better control of how the split is done and also allow painting e.g. only
the decoration differently. Still work in progress, but it works.
Also pass data to prepaint functions in a struct, as there is
already quite a number of them.

For 16bpp pixmaps, we use GL_RGB and GL_UNSIGNED_SHORT_5_6_5 with
glTex(Sub)Image2D, which means that SHM mode works with 16bpp X
servers.
Also, only create one XShmPixmap per damaged pixmap, instead of one
per (optimised) damage rectangle. Now we can use GL_RGB textures for
24bpp pixmaps, just like fallback mode does and tfp mode can.
