The documentation for wayland-server.h says:
> Use of this header file is discouraged. Prefer including
> wayland-server-core.h instead, which does not include the server protocol
> header and as such only defines the library PI, excluding the deprecated API
> below.
Replacing wayland-server.h with wayland-server-core.h allows us to drop the
WL_HIDE_DEPRECATED declaration.
This is necessary for direct scan-out and other upcoming features. This patch
changes the output API to look like the wl_surface API.
Outputs now have some double-buffered state: the frame to be submitted
(currently only wlr_renderer frames are supported) and the damaged region.
To attach a pending frame, use wlr_output_attach_render. To set the pending
damaged region, use wlr_output_set_damage.
To submit the pending state, call wlr_output_commit. This will submit the
pending frame to the backend.
To migrate from the old API to the new one:
- Replace wlr_output_make_current calls by wlr_output_attach_render
- Replace wlr_output_swap_buffers calls by wlr_output_set_damage and
wlr_output_commit
Compositors now have more control over how the backend creates its
renderer. Currently all backends create an EGL/GLES2 renderer, so
the necessary attributes for creating the context are passed to a
user-provided callback function. It is responsible for initializing
provided wlr_egl and to return a renderer. On fail, return 0.
Fixes#987
- Textures are now immutable (apart from those created from raw
pixels), no more invalid textures
- Move all wl_drm stuff in wlr_renderer
- Most of wlr_texture fields are now private
- Remove some duplicated DMA-BUF code in the DRM backend
- Add more assertions
- Stride is now always given as bytes rather than pixels
- Drop wl_shm functions
Fun fact: this patch has been written 10,000 meters up in the air.
compositor_fini destroys the display, but it is an error to destroy it
before e.g. wlr_seat that references it.
This lets us order destroy calls properly, following first-in-last-out
logic.
