As per Benjamin's suggestions, cleanup the previous implementation on
initializing the GLES context on Windows, so that we use more items that are
already in GDK proper and integrate two functions into one.
Instead of first trying to explicitly ask for a WGL 4.1 context, ask for
the WGL context version that matches what is reported via
epoxy_gl_version(), so that we get the maximum WGL version that is
supported by the graphics drivers, and make sure any WGL contexts that
are shared with this (initial) WGL context are created likewise.
We can try to do a default-bog-standard 3.2 core WGL context creation
if the need arises, but let's leave that alone for now.
We are now able to create EGL contexts properly on Windows, but not GLES. This
tries to fix things by doing the following:
* Record the GL context type in a more proper fashion, using an Enum. This
makes things a bit cleaner.
* Force GLES-3.0+ contexts, since libANGLE requires this to properly work with
the shaders-its 2.0 contexts don't work well with our shaders.
For some users, GetKeyboardLayoutNameA() returns an alias instead of the
fully resolved keyboard layout identifier. In that case, we have to
query the registry to resolve the alias before we can look up the DLL
path.

Contrary to what you can read on the internet, SGCAPS keys don't work
by having capslock toggle the KBDCTRL bit, they actually have two
consecutive table entries, the first of which is for the normal
version and the second of which is for the capslocked version.
Background: SGCAPS is short for Swiss German caps because Swiss German
was the first layout to use this feature. For keys with the SGCAPS flag,
capslock has a different effect than pressing shift. For example:
Shift + ü = è, CapsLock + ü = Ü, CapsLock + Shift + ü = È
DLL loading failures should not happen under normal circumstances, but
we should at least try not to crash and and print better diagnostic
messages if they do happen.
See https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/4610
Previously, we treated CapsLock and KanaLock as part of the global
keyboard state, much like NumLock and ScrollLock, rather than using
the supplied modifier mask. This was because GDK does not have a
modifier mask for KanaLock, only for CapsLock, so it would not have been
possible to properly support it.
However, this approach ended up causing problems, with certain keyboard
shortcuts not registering when capslock was active. This was first
observed in Inkscape [0] and appears to affect shortcuts consisting of a
single key (like 'a') with no additional modifiers (wheareas shortcuts
like 'ctrl+a' work).
So now we are using the supplied GDK_LOCK_MASK instead, and dropped
support for KanaLock, which we probably don't need anyway (since regular
text input should be handled by the IME input module -- the keymap is
mainly for shortcuts and keybindings, where you don't really want
KanaLock).

The old code used repeated calls to `ToUnicodeEx` to populate
the translation table, which is slow and buggy. The new code
directly loads the layout driver DLLs from Windows.

.. when creating the surface (with the HWND associated with the
newly-created surface) as well as destroying the surface (with NULL,
since the HWND is going to be destroyed), so that we can tie the EGL
calls to the HWND that we want to do the EGL stuff.
Update the functions that were updated in the previous commit to have all
GdkSurface variables named as 'surface' instead of the GTK-3.x-era window, to
make things more consistent across the board. Also fix formatting a bit.
Make the toplevel surface respond to size computations unless it is just being
created, or maximized, made fullscreen or underwent an AeroSnap operation.
This will ensure that the surface size is properly computed in time, so that
surfaces can be resized as needed.
This will fix issues 3728 and 3799.
Ensure that we take the DPI scaling into account so that surfaces will
be placed at their correct positions upon an AeroSnap operation on HiDPI
displays.
Also, use the X coordinate of the surface as-is during snap up so that
we do not inadvertently move the surface to the very left. Also fix the
AeroSnap indicator drawing for snap up so that it is drawn at the
correct places.
Since we are updating these functions, make the old GdkWindow-era
variable names to match better the names we use nowadays.
Use the debug envvar 'GDK_DEBUG=gl-egl' to determine whether we want to try to
initialize EGL first before trying WGL, as a means for people to more easily
enable EGL support on Windows to test EGL there (such as to debug the shaders,
for instance)
This will clean up the EGL code in GDK-Win32, as well as fixing crashes caused
by using an invalid EGL context in gdk_gl_context_make_current() as we did not
store up the EGL context in the correct place (lost during the transition to
the common EGL initialization code).
On the Windows/libANGLE side, the initialization of EGL has now fully moved to
the common code in GDK, but we will still default on WGL for now. Help is
really appreciated for fixing the shaders on libANGLE!
This will port the EGL code in GDK-Win32 to use the common GDK code to
initialize EGL. However, at the current state, although EGL is
correctly initialized, this code is disabled for now since
gdk_gl_context_make_current() fails as the shaders do not work for EGL
via libANGLE on Windows.
We can now clean things up in gdkglcontext-win32-egl.c as a result.
Add gdk_gl_context_is_api_allowed() for backends and make them use it.
Finally, have them return the final API as the return value (or 0 on
error).
And then use that api instead of a use_es boolean flag.
Fixes#4221
The term "hdr" is so overloaded, we shouldn't use them anywhere, except
from maybe describing all of this work in blog posts and other marketing
materials.
So do renames:
* hdr => high_depth
* request_hdr => prefers_high_depth
This more accurately describes what is going on.
We have a global GdkGLBackendType now, just set it.
This way, using the variable forces the backend type, and we don't need
special code handling the env vars in the backends.
It also means setting the env var will now "work" on GDK backends that
don't even support that GL backend and simualte another GDK backend
having registered that GL backend already. So you can run
GDK_DEBUG=gl-wgl gtk4-demo
on test what Wayland will do when WGL is in use.
Include the appropriate headers as some function prototypes were moved lately.
Also, re-order the include order of the gdk/*private.h headers alphabetically
in the files that were updated.
Creative people managed to create an X11 display and a Wayland display
at once, thereby getting EGL and GLX involved in a fight to the death
over the ownership of the glFoo() symbolspace.
A way to force such a fight with available tools here is (on Wayland)
running something like:
GTK_INSPECTOR_DISPLAY=:1 GTK_DEBUG=interactive gtk4-demo
Related: xdg-desktop-portal-gnome#5
On Windows, GLES is not that widely available unless one installs wrapper
libraries such as libANGLE, so GLES/EGL support on Windows is used more like
a fallback mode if Desktop OpenGL (WGL) support is inadequate on the system.
Hence, unless one forces WGL or EGL, we will first try to initialize WGL, and
then try to initialize GLES if enabled and if WGL initialization failed, and
then just return whatever the last result we can obtain from these
initialization attempts, since unlike X11 EGL contexts, we do not have
separate modes for WGL except for legacy and non-legacy contexts.
We were setting the WGL pixel format in GdkWin32Display too early, so the code
does not bail out correctly when we retry establishing the WGL context.
Fix this by pushing back setting the WGL pixel format only after it passes the
shader availability check.
Should fix issue #4257.
