To build a better world sometimes means having to tear the old one down.
-- Alexander Pierce, "Captain America: The Winter Soldier"
ATK served us well for nearly 20 years, but the world has changed, and
GTK has changed with it. Now ATK is mostly a hindrance towards improving
the accessibility stack:
- it maps to a very specific implementation, AT-SPI, which is Linux and
Unix specific
- it requires implementing the same functionality in three different
layers of the stack: AT-SPI, ATK, and GTK
- only GTK uses it; every other Linux and Unix toolkit and application
talks to AT-SPI directly, including assistive technologies
Sadly, we cannot incrementally port GTK to a new accessibility stack;
since ATK insulates us entirely from the underlying implementation, we
cannot replace it piecemeal. Instead, we're going to remove everything
and then incrementally build on a clean slate:
- add an "accessible" interface, implemented by GTK objects directly,
which describe the accessible role and state changes for every UI
element
- add an "assistive technology context" to proxy a native accessibility
API, and assign it to every widget
- implement the AT context depending on the platform

We lost this when GtkSpinButton was first ported
to the new editable regime, and then the GtkBoxLayout.
Bring it back, but without text measurement, by overriding
width-chars for the GtkText inside, and only do it if
GtkSpinButton::width-chars is unset (ie -1).
Also adjust the documentation slightly to point out
how auto-sizing can be turned off.
It feels slightly wrong to have GtkOrientable operate on widgets, but at
least what happens when an orientable widget changes orientation should
be part of GtkWidget.
This will allow to add more state changes without accessing widget state
from the outside of gtkwidget.c.
After the :can-focus change in the previous commit, widgets
need to set suitable focus and grab_focus implementations
to implement the desired focus behavior.
This commit does that for all widgets.
Split the focus tracking into a separate
GtkEventControllerFocus, and change the API one more time.
We are back to having ::focus-in and ::focus-out signals.
Update all users.
Instead of relying on gdk's antiquated crossing events,
create a new GtkCrossingData struct that contains the
actual widgets, and a new event controller vfunc that
expects this struct. This also saves us from making sense
of X's crossing modes and details, and makes for a
generally simpler api.
The ::focus-in and ::focus-out signals of GtkEventControllerKey
have been replaced by a single ::focus-change signal that
takes GtkCrossingData as an argument. All callers have
been updated.
It was not copying the terminating \0 in the string, breaking output
in spinbutton (didn't try scale). Fixes#3452.
(cherry picked from commit ae2ef1472c)
Change the reorder api to insert after a sibling,
so that moving to first place becomes reorder (... NULL).
And add a insert_after api that can replace the common
container_add / reorder_after (... NULL) combination.
Update all callers.
Some of the flags got lost in the meson transition or were demoted from
error flags to warning flags.
This commit reintroduces them.
It also includes fixes for the code that had warnings with those flags.
The big one being -Wshadow.
