Raw Normal View History

Use a single master "clock" to drive timelines Currently, all timelines install a timeout inside the TimeoutPool they share. Every time the main loop spins, all the timeouts are updated. This, in turn, will usually lead to redraws being queued on the stages. This behaviour leads to the potential starvation of timelines and to excessive redraws. One lesson learned from the games developers is that the scenegraph should be prepared in its entirety before the GL paint sequence is initiated. This means making sure that every ::new-frame signal handler is called before clutter_redraw() is invoked. In order to do so a TimeoutPool is not enough: we need a master clock. The clock will be responsible for advancing all the active timelines created inside a scene, but only when the stage is being redrawn. The sequence is: + queue_redraw() is invoked on an actor and bubbles up to the stage + if no redraw() has already been scheduled, install an idle handler with a known priority + inside the idle handler: - advance the master clock, which will in turn advance every playing timeline by the amount of milliseconds elapsed since the last redraw; this will make every playing timeline emit the ::new-frame signal - queue a relayout - call the redraw() method of the backend This way we trade multiple timeouts with a single frame source that only runs if a timeline is playing and queues redraws on the various stages.
