+ - Go through things marked FIXME
+
+ - Add calls to prepare and finish access where necessary. grep for
+ ACCESS_MEM, and make sure they are correctly wrapped in prepare
+ and finish.
+
+ - restore READ/WRITE in the fbcompose combiners since they sometimes
+ store directly to destination drawables.
+
+ - It probably makes sense to move the more strange X region API
+ into pixman as well, but guarded with PIXMAN_XORG_COMPATIBILITY
+
+ - Reinstate the FbBits typedef? At the moment we don't
+ even have the FbBits type; we just use uint32_t everywhere.
+
+ Keith says in bug 2335:
+
+ The 64-bit code in fb (pixman) is probably broken; it hasn't been
+ used in quite some time as PCI (and AGP) is 32-bits wide, so
+ doing things 64-bits at a time is a net loss. To quickly fix
+ this, I suggest just using 32-bit datatypes by setting
+ IC_SHIFT to 5 for all machines.
+
+ - Consider whether calling regions region16 is really such a great
+ idea Vlad wants 32 bit regions for Cairo. This will break X server
+ ABI, but should otherwise be mostly harmless, though a
+ pixman_region_get_boxes16() may be useful.
+
+ - Make source clipping optional.
+ - done: source clipping happens through an indirection.
+ still needs to make the indirection settable. (And call it
+ from X)
+
+ - Consider optimizing the 8/16 bit solid fills in pixman-util.c by
+ storing more than one value at a time.
+
+ - Add an image cache to prevent excessive malloc/free. Note that pixman
+ needs to be thread safe when used from cairo.
+
+ - Review the pixman_format_code_t enum to make sure it will support
+ future formats. Some formats we will probably need:
+
+ ARGB/ABGR with 16/32/64 bit integer/floating channels
+ YUV2,
+ YV12
+
+ Also we may need the ability to distinguish between PICT_c8 and
+ PICT_x4c4. (This could be done by interpreting the A channel as
+ the depth for TYPE_COLOR and TYPE_GRAY formats).
+
+ A possibility may be to reserve the two top bits and make them
+ encode "number of places to shift the channel widths given" Since
+ these bits are 00 at the moment everything will continue to work,
+ but these additional widths will be allowed:
+
+ All even widths between 18-32
+ All multiples of four widths between 33 and 64
+ All multiples of eight between 64 and 128
+
+ This means things like r21g22b21 won't work - is that worth
+ worrying about? I don't think so. And of course the bpp field
+ can't handle a depth of over 256, so > 64 bit channels arent'
+ really all that useful.
+
+ We could reserve one extra bit to indicate floating point, but
+ we may also just add
+
+ PIXMAN_TYPE_ARGB_FLOAT
+ PIXMAN_TYPE_BGRA_FLOAT
+ PIXMAN_TYPE_A_FLOAT
+
+ image types. With five bits we can support up to 32 different
+ format types, which should be enough for everybody, even if we
+ decide to support all the various video formats here:
+
+ http://www.fourcc.org/yuv.php
+
+ It may make sense to have a PIXMAN_TYPE_YUV, and then use the
+ channel bits to specify the exact subtype.
+
+ What about color spaces such a linear vs. srGB etc.?
+
+
+done:
+
+- Run cairo test suite; fix bugs
+ - one bug in source-scale-clip
+
+ - Remove the warning suppression in the ACCESS_MEM macro and fix the
+ warnings that are real
+ - irrelevant now.
+
+- make the wrapper functions global instead of image specific
+ - this won't work since pixman is linked to both fb and wfb
+
+- Add non-mmx solid fill
+
+- Make sure the endian-ness macros are defined correctly.
+
+- The rectangles in a region probably shouldn't be returned const as
+ the X server will be changing them.
+
+- Right now we _always_ have a clip region, which is empty by default.
+ Why does this work at all? It probably doesn't. The server
+ distinguishes two cases, one where nothing is clipped (CT_NONE), and
+ one where there is a clip region (CT_REGION).
+
+- Default clip region should be the full image
+
+ - Test if pseudo color still works. It does, but it also shows that
+ copying a pixman_indexed_t on every composite operation is not
+ going to fly. So, for now set_indexed() does not copy the
+ indexed table.
+
+ Also just the malloc() to allocate a pixman image shows up pretty
+ high.
+
+ Options include
+
+ - Make all the setters not copy their arguments
+
+ - Possibly combined with going back to the stack allocated
+ approach that we already use for regions.
+
+ - Keep a cached pixman_image_t around for every picture. It would
+ have to be kept uptodate every time something changes about the
+ picture.
+
+ - Break the X server ABI and simply have the relevant parameter
+ stored in the pixman image. This would have the additional benefits
+ that:
+
+ - We can get rid of the annoying repeat field which is duplicated
+ elsewhere.
+
+ - We can use pixman_color_t and pixman_gradient_stop_t
+ etc. instead of the types that are defined in
+ renderproto.h
