Now that we have the display's context to hook into, we can use it to
construct other GL contexts and don't need a GdkSurface vfunc anymore.
This has the added benefit that backends can have different GdkGLContext
classes on the display and get new GLContexts generated from them, so
we get multiple GL backend support per GDK backend for free.
I originally wanted to make this a vfunc on GdkGLContextClass, but
it turns out all the abckends would just call g_object_new() anyway.
The vfunc is called to initialize GL and it returns a "base" context
that GDK then uses as the context all others are shared with. So the GL
context share tree now looks like:
+ context from init_gl
- context1
- context2
...
So this is a flat tree now, the complexity is gone.
The only caveat is that backends now need to create a GL context when
initializing GL so some refactoring was needed.
Two new functions have been added:
* gdk_display_prepare_gl()
This is public API and can be used to ensure that GL has been
initialized or if not, retrieve an error to display (or debug-print).
* gdk_display_get_gl_context()
This is a private function to retrieve the base context from
init_gl(). It replaces gdk_surface_get_shared_data_context().
If our opaque region is the entire surface, then we can make the OpenGL
context opaque like we do for decorated windows. This improves performance
as the compositor does not need to blend the surface with the contents
behind the window.
It was used by all surfaces to track 'is-mapped', but still part of the
GdkToplevelState, and is now replaced with a separate boolean in the
GdkSurface structure.
It also caused issues when a widget was unmapped, and due to that
unmapped a popover which hid its corresponding surface. When this
surface was hidden, it emitted a state change event, which would then go
back into GTK and queue a resize on popover widget, which would travel
back down to the widget that was originally unmapped, causing confusino
when doing future allocations.
To summarize, one should not hide widgets during allocation, and to
avoid this, make this new is-mapped boolean asynchronous when hiding a
surface, meaning the notification event for the changed mapped state
will be emitted in an idle callback. This avoids the above described
reentry issue.
This removes the gdk_surface_set_shadow_width() function and related
vfuncs. The point here is that the shadow width and surface size can now
be communicated to GDK atomically, meaning it's possible to avoid
intermediate stages where the surface size includes the shadow, but
without the shadow width set, or the other way around.
When querying a device, we need to ensure we are providing coordinates
in the coordinate system of the surface. Further, we need to actually
provide the button and keyboard state.
This fixes some issues related to dragging scrollbars and selecting list
box rows more reliably.
This is fairly substantial rewrite of the GDK backend for quartz and
renamed to macOS to allow for a greenfield implementation.
Many things have come across from the quartz implementation fairly
intact such as the eventloop integration design and discovery of
event windows from the NSEvent.
However much has been changed to fit in with the new GDK design and
how removal of child GdkWindow have been completely eliminated.
Furthermore, the new GdkPopup allows for regular NSWindow to be used
to provide popovers unlike the previous implementation.
The object design more closely follows the ideal for a GDK backend.
Views have been broken out into subclasses so that we can support
multiple GSK renderer paths such as GL and Cairo (and Metal in the
future). However mixed mode GL and Cairo will not be supported. Currently
only the Cairo renderer has been implemented.
A new frame clock implementation using CVDisplayLink provides more
accurate information about when to draw drawing the next frame. Some
testing will need to be done here to understand the power implications
of this.
This implementation has also gained edge snapping for CSD windows. Some
work was also done to ensure that CSD windows have opaque regions
registered with the display server.
** This is still very much a work-in-progress **
Some outstanding work that needs to be done:
- Finish a GL context for macOS and alternate NSView for GL rendering
(possibly using speciailized CALayer for OpenGL).
- Input rework to ensure that we don't loose remapping of keys that was
dropped from GDK during GTK 4 development.
- Make sure input methods continue to work.
- Drag-n-Drop is still very much a work in progress
- High resolution input scrolling needs various work in GDK to land
first before we can plumb that to NSEvent.
- gtk/ has a number of things based on GDK_WINDOWING_QUARTZ that need
to be updated to use the macOS backend.
But this is good enough to start playing with and breaking things which
is what I'd like to see.
