Given that I made a breaking change by returning Containers::String
instead of a std::string, I can take it further and replace also
std::pair with Containers::Pair -- it won't bring any more pain to the
users, they have to change their code anyway.

Same as in the previous commit, most cases are inputs so a StringStl.h
compatibility include will do, the only breaking change is
GL::Shader::sources() which now returns a StringIterable instead of a
std::vector<std::string> (ew).
Awesome about this whole thing is that The Shader API now allows
creating a shader from sources coming either from string view literals
or Utility::Resource completely without having to allocate any strings
internally, because all those can be just non-owning references wrapped
with String::nullTerminatedGlobalView(). The only parts which aren't
references are the #line markers, but (especially on 64bit) those can
easily fit into the 22-byte (or 10-byte on 32bit) SSO storage.
Also, various Shader constructors and assignment operators had to be
deinlined in order to avoid having to include the String header, which
would be needed for Array destruction during a move.

A bunch of new GLES- and WebGL-specific draw() variants got added in
b30d313ecd over a year ago, but so far
they weren't exposed in any of the Shaders because it'd mean a lot of
nasty copypasting and I just didn't like that.
So instead, there's a new macro to handle this messy work, and also
tested in order to ensure everything is still as it should be and that
it works even outside the Magnum namespace. This makes it much easier to
add new draw() variants (such as indirect draws, *finally*), without
having to update every shader implementation under the sun.
One difference is that I'm now allowing drawTransformFeedback() always
-- because that makes sense. It *is* possible to use a regular shader to
draw a result of a XFB, so it doesn't make sense to attempt to block
that.
The change to Shaders will be done in the next commit.
There's no reason for those to exist anymore -- origiinally they were
added in a hopeful attempt to make use of parallel shader compilation,
but in practice that meant compiling at most two or three shaders at
once and still stalling until that was done, so not that great at all.
The new APIs provide much better opportunities for parallelism.
Fun fact:
CORRADE_INTERNAL_ASSERT_OUTPUT(vert.compile() && frag.compile());
is actually one character shorter than
CORRADE_INTERNAL_ASSERT_OUTPUT(GL::Shader::compile({vert, frag}));
so not even typing convenience would be a reason to keep these.
The new async APIs were just checking the link status, and printing the
linker error. Because drivers commonly do all that in a single step,
without really separating compilation from linking (or at least that's
what I thought?), I assumed the linker error would contain *also* the
compilation error, if any.
But on a quick check with Mesa that's not the case, I only get "error:
linking with uncompiled/unspecialized shader", which is very useless.
Which means, to get proper error output, the checkLink() function now
explicitly takes a list of the input shaders. It will unconditionally go
through them at the beginning and call checkCompile() on each.
To further encourage the shaders to be passed, there's no default
argument -- so if the application calls checkCompile() on its own for
some reason, it has to pass an empty list to checkLink().
All the tests were updated to explicitly check that non-null-terminated
strings get handled properly (the GL label APIs have an explicit size,
so it *should*, but just in case). Also, because various subclasses
override the setter to return correct type for method chaining and the
override has to be deinlined to avoid relying on a StringView include,
the tests are now explicitly done for each leaf class, instead of the
subclass
The <string> being removed from the base class for all GL objects may
affect downstream projects which relied on it being included. In case of
Magnum, the breakages were already fixed in the previous commit.
Compile time improvement for the MagnumGL library alone is 0.2 second or
4% (6.1 seconds before, 5.9 after). Not bad, given that there's three
more files to compile and strings are still heavily used in other GL
debug output APIs and all shader stuff. For a build of just the GL
library and all tests, it goes down from 28.9 seconds to 28.1. Most
tests also still rely quite heavily on std::stringstream for debug
output testing, so the numbers still could go further.
What's left is *a lot* of places taking monstrous
std::vector<std::reference_wrapper> and that can't be changed to
std::vector<Containers::Reference> in a source-compatible way. Even that
would be only a temporary change, since the goal is to fully avoid
dependency on STL in those cases.
The final version of these APIs should take
Containers::ArrayView<Containers::Reference> and be implicitly
convertible froom e.g. std::vector<Containers::Reference>. That's
definitely possible, but not in time for 2019.01, so instead of forcing
users to temporary pass a `{vec.begin(), vec.size()}` everywhere instead
of just `vec`, I'm rather keeping these APIs intact.
At the moment just the GL library itself w/o the tests, and without
backwards compatibility aliases. The following types were left in the
root namespace, despite being in the GL/ directory, as they will get
moved back soon:
* Image, CompressedImage and their dimensional typedefs
* ImageView, CompressedImageView and their dimensional typedefs
* PixelStorage
Not PixelFormat etc., that one will stay in the GL namespace and a
completely new PixelFormat enum will be provided in the root namespace.
Minimal updates (just the include guards) so Git is hopefully able to
detect the rename and track the history properly.
Everything except Magnum::GL doesn't compile now.
There will be numerous additions to this one so it made sense to make it
a static library instead of a header-only library. That also allows
CMake users to just link to Magnum::OpenGLTester instead of going
through the pain of a huge branching in order to find a correct
windowless application just to run their tests. It could have been done
even without the static library using a INTERFACE target, but that
wouldn't work on CMake < 3.0 (which, unfortunately, quite a few people
are still stuck with).
Unfortunately it's already heavily used elsewhere so I had to go through
the pain of deprecating the old implementation. The old implementation
was header-only so it can't be just typedef'd to the new one as there
would be linker failures. So the old header is just kept as it was, with
only the macros reduced.
