GdkEvent has been a "I-can't-believe-this-is-not-OOP" type for ages,
using a union of sub-types. This has always been problematic when it
comes to implementing accessor functions: either you get generic API
that takes a GdkEvent and uses a massive switch() to determine which
event types have the data you're looking for; or you create namespaced
accessors, but break language bindings horribly, as boxed types cannot
have derived types.
The recent conversion of GskRenderNode (which had similar issues) to
GTypeInstance, and the fact that GdkEvent is now a completely opaque
type, provide us with the chance of moving GdkEvent to GTypeInstance,
and have sub-types for GdkEvent.
The change from boxed type to GTypeInstance is pretty small, all things
considered, but ends up cascading to a larger commit, as we still have
backends and code in GTK trying to access GdkEvent structures directly.
Additionally, the naming of the public getter functions requires
renaming all the data structures to conform to the namespace/type-name
pattern.
For the X11 backend, keep a list of monitors for which the surface
intersects the monitor area.
Whenever the X11 surface is configured, check against the list of
monitors to determine whether it enters a new monitor or if it left a
monitor, to emit the corresponding ::enter/leave-monitor signals just
like a Wayland compositor would.
As monitors can be added, removed or reconfigured at any time, redo
those checks whenever any of these events occur.
We don't need all of them, only the ones that contain public API. This
allows us to reduce the chance of a stray symbol getting incorrectly
added to the introspection data.
Add all of the keyboard translation results in the key event,
so we can translate the keyboard state at the time the event
is created, and avoid doing state translation at match time.
We actually need to carry two sets of translation results,
since we ignore CapsLock when matching accelerators, in
gdk_event_matches().
At the same time, drop the scancode field - it is only ever
set on win32, and is basically unused in GTK.
Update all callers.
On X11, there is no such equivalent to the inhibit shortcut protocol
found on Wayland.
To implement the inhibit_system_shortcuts API on X11, we emulate the
same behavior using grabs on the keyboard.
To avoid keeping active grabs on the keyboard that would affect other
X11 applications even when the surface isn't focused, the X11
implementation takes care of releasing the grabs as soon as the toplevel
loses focus.
Without this, the back buffers of the wrong size
keep being used, causing flickery misdraws, as
seen when expanding the expander in the popover
in widget-factory.
There is no shape combining going on anymore, so
call this just gdk_surface_set_input_region, and
remove the offset arguments too. All callers pass
0 anyway.
Update all callers and implementations.
Sprinkle various g_assert() around the code where gcc cannot figure out
on its own that a variable is not NULL and too much refactoring would be
needed to make it do that.
Also fix usage of g_assert_nonnull(x) to use g_assert(x) because the
first is not marked as G_GNUC_NORETURN because of course GTester
supports not aborting on aborts.
Drop the input-mode, since it only makes sense for
floating devices, which we don't have anymore. And renamt
::input-source to ::source, to match the getter.
Update all users.
replace all uses with const char * (non-interned).
Also remove a lot fo juggling from atom to GdkAtom to string and back.
The X Atom hash table is now mapping to (again, non-interned) strings.
We were not properly converting the coordinates we
got to root coordinates. This was showing up as offsets
between the actual drop target and the area where drops
can happen, e.g. when dragging over a stack switcher
to switch pages.
