[cairo] [patch] gl: set tex_with in cairo_gl_gradient_t instead in cairo_entry.size

[Henry (Yu) Song - SISA]

Hi, Chris

I am not sure why cache_entry.size has to be the tex_width.  It seems that tex_width has no relation with cache_entry.size.  In my patch, the cache_entry.size is set at 4, which allows 1024 gradient cached. 

if CAIRO_GL_GRADIENT_CACHE_SIZE = 16384, and let's assume each tex_with is about 64, that is only 256 gradient cache.


The gradient cache should not be limited by system memory, it should, I think, be limited by the GPU memory, because each texture is 1 pixel height, and even, in worst case, each tex_width is 1024, 1024 gradient cache is 4 M (1024x1024x4 (RGBA)) bytes.  - that should be OK, I think

Please comments

Thanks

The idea is that the gradient cache tries to only keep a certain amount
of texture memory cached. It sounds like that limit is too low --
indeed, it is set at 4096 which is only 16k, or roughly 4 gradients.
That would be better with

#define CAIRO_GL_GRADIENT_CACHE_SIZE 16384

judging by desktop usage, and you probably have a better idea for your
use cases.
