I was talking with other people and they became confused at the
term "double-buffered", since we were also talking about
double-buffering in general, e.g. swapping between two buffers.
Instead, we'll adapt the "pending state" nomenclature that we
already use for the field / variable names.
Really, it is a special case. When the subsurface is synchronous,
commit changes meaning from being applied immediately to being
queued up for replay later. Handle this explicit special case
with an explicit special case in the code.
This means that in all other paths, we can unconditionally
apply the actor immediately.
Even when it doesn't have a role.
This fixes cursors not quite working right, as they're a "detached"
surface without a role since nobody called set_cursor on them yet.
Instead of using commit_attached_buffer / actor_surface_commit.
We want to kill the return values of these methods because we
really should always be calling them, even if the surface doesn't
have a role.
This is also something that we did upstream. Since we want to
introduce an explicit "xdg_transient" window type for tooltips
and popovers, and since "transient_for" is a confusing dumb
80s term lifted from the ICCCM spec, just rename it.
This was changed upstream a little while ago for C++ compatibility.
It's also the more common term for the operation: you close a window,
you don't delete one. In fact, a delete event might seem like it
would be about resource management instead.
Since we get the ClientMessage after the surface is created, there's
no good way to synchronize the two streams. In this case, what we
need to do is delay the surface commit until after we get the
ClientMessage. Ideally, we'd be using a better surface system overall
where committing the surface didn't depend on what type it is, but
oh well, this is a good short-term hack for now.
The make_toplevel / window_unmanaging interface has never made
a lot of sense to me. Replace it with set_window, which does
effectively the same thing.
It's still not perfect in the case of XWayland, but I don't think
XWayland will ever make me happy.
Previously, a sequence like this would crash a client:
=> surface.attach(buffer)
=> buffer.destroy()
The correct behavior is to wait until we release the buffer before
destroying it.
=> surface.attach(buffer)
=> surface.attach(buffer2)
<= buffer.release()
=> buffer.destroy()
The protocol upstream says that "the surface contents are undefined"
in a case like this. Personally, I think that this is broken behavior
and no client should ever do it, so I explicitly killed any client
that tried to do this.
But unfortunately, as we're all well aware, XWayland does this.
Rather than wait for XWayland to be fixed, let's just allow this.
Technically, since we always copy SHM buffers into GL textures, we
could release the buffer as soon as the Cogl texture is made.
Since we do this copy, the semantics we apply are that the texture is
"frozen" in time until another newer buffer is attached. For simple
clients that simply abort on exit and don't wait for the buffer event
anyhow, this has the added bonus that we'll get nice destroy animations.
Do to a bad mixup, the surface listener was never actually fired.
This was accidentally fixed as part of a refactoring in a27fb19,
but the surface listener was broken, and we started crashing. To
fix, just remove the surface listener, as we've mostly been testing
without it.
This is not needed since the instance is being destroyed and in fact
actively harmful when code called from other handlers disconnects us
for other reasons. In that case we might crash because the
disconnection doesn't prevent other handlers from running in the
current signal emission and thus we try to remove ourselves from an
empty list.
This changes the user data of all surface extensions resources to be
the MetaWaylandSurface instead of the MetaWaylandSurfaceExtension,
which means that we no longer need all these pesky wl_container_ofs
in implementations.
Don't set the surface actor to a new buffer if it's becoming unmapped.
This is also technically wrong since we'll send out the release event,
but oh well.
We should probably decouple MetaWaylandBuffer from the CoglTexture
at some point, so we can send out releases on-demand.
This time, to make way for MetaSurfaceActorEmpty. This also fixes
destroy effects as a side effect. It still has issues if we try
to re-assign an actor that's already toplevel (e.g. somebody
re-popping up a menu that's already being destroyed), but this
will be fixed soon.
The idea here is that MetaWindowActor will do the unparenting of
the surface actor when it itself is destroyed. To prevent bad issues
with picking, we only make the surface actor reactive when it's
toplevel.
The rendering logic before was somewhat complex. We had three independent
cases to take into account when doing rendering:
* X11 compositor. In this case, we're a traditional X11 compositor,
not a Wayland compositor. We use XCompositeNameWindowPixmap to get
the backing pixmap for the window, and deal with the COMPOSITE
extension messiness.
In this case, meta_is_wayland_compositor() is FALSE.
* Wayland clients. In this case, we're a Wayland compositor managing
Wayland surfaces. The rendering for this is fairly straightforward,
as Cogl handles most of the complexity with EGL and SHM buffers...
Wayland clients give us the input and opaque regions through
wl_surface.
In this case, meta_is_wayland_compositor() is TRUE and
priv->window->client_type == META_WINDOW_CLIENT_TYPE_WAYLAND.
* XWayland clients. In this case, we're a Wayland compositor, like
above, and XWayland hands us Wayland surfaces. XWayland handles
the COMPOSITE extension messiness for us, and hands us a buffer
like any other Wayland client. We have to fetch the input and
opaque regions from the X11 window ourselves.
In this case, meta_is_wayland_compositor() is TRUE and
priv->window->client_type == META_WINDOW_CLIENT_TYPE_X11.
We now split the rendering logic into two subclasses, which are:
* MetaSurfaceActorX11, which handles the X11 compositor case, in that
it uses XCompositeNameWindowPixmap to get the backing pixmap, and
deal with all the COMPOSITE extension messiness.
* MetaSurfaceActorWayland, which handles the Wayland compositor case
for both native Wayland clients and XWayland clients. XWayland handles
COMPOSITE for us, and handles pushing a surface over through the
xf86-video-wayland DDX.
Frame sync is still in MetaWindowActor, as it needs to work for both the
X11 compositor and XWayland client cases. When Wayland's video display
protocol lands, this will need to be significantly overhauled, as it would
have to work for any wl_surface, including subsurfaces, so we would need
surface-level discretion.

This reverts commit 283a81eac0.
This can't be done yet, as it will crash when we try to do a destroy
effect from a plugin. The surface actor needs to outlive the surface
in this case.
Though, the unparenting happening is wrong anyway for a destroy effect.
We need to figure out a sane way of doing this unparenting only after
all effects have finished.
