This commit changes the meaning of sway_container so that it only refers
to layout containers and view containers. Workspaces, outputs and the
root are no longer known as containers. Instead, root, outputs,
workspaces and containers are all a type of node, and containers come in
two types: layout containers and view containers.
In addition to the above, this implements type safe variables. This
means we use specific types such as sway_output and sway_workspace
instead of generic containers or nodes. However, it's worth noting that
in a few places places (eg. seat focus and transactions) referring to
them in a generic way is unavoidable which is why we still use nodes in
some places.
If you want a TL;DR, look at node.h, as well as the struct definitions
for root, output, workspace and container. Note that sway_output now
contains a workspaces list, and workspaces now contain a tiling and
floating list, and containers now contain a pointer back to the
workspace.
There are now functions for seat_get_focused_workspace and
seat_get_focused_container. The latter will return NULL if a workspace
itself is focused. Most other seat functions like seat_get_focus and
seat_set_focus now accept and return nodes.
In the config->handler_context struct, current_container has been
replaced with three pointers: node, container and workspace. node is the
same as what current_container was, while workspace is the workspace
that the node resides on and container is the actual container, which
may be NULL if a workspace itself is focused.
The global root_container variable has been replaced with one simply
called root, which is a pointer to the sway_root instance.
The way outputs are created, enabled, disabled and destroyed has
changed. Previously we'd wrap the sway_output in a container when it is
enabled, but as we don't have containers any more it needs a different
approach. The output_create and output_destroy functions previously
created/destroyed the container, but now they create/destroy the
sway_output. There is a new function output_disable to disable an output
without destroying it.
Containers have a new view property. If this is populated then the
container is a view container, otherwise it's a layout container. Like
before, this property is immutable for the life of the container.
Containers have both a `sway_container *parent` and
`sway_workspace *workspace`. As we use specific types now, parent cannot
point to a workspace so it'll be NULL for containers which are direct
children of the workspace. The workspace property is set for all
containers, except those which are hidden in the scratchpad as they have
no workspace.
In some cases we need to refer to workspaces in a container-like way.
For example, workspaces have layout and children, but when using
specific types this makes it difficult. Likewise, it's difficult for a
container to get its parent's layout when the parent could be another
container or a workspace. To make it easier, some helper functions have
been created: container_parent_layout and container_get_siblings.
container_remove_child has been renamed to container_detach and
container_replace_child has been renamed to container_replace.
`container_handle_fullscreen_reparent(con, old_parent)` has had the
old_parent removed. We now unfullscreen the workspace when detaching the
container, so this function is simplified and only needs one argument
now.
container_notify_subtree_changed has been renamed to
container_update_representation. This is more descriptive of its
purpose. I also wanted to be able to call it with whatever container was
changed rather than the container's parent, which makes bubbling up to
the workspace easier.
There are now state structs per node thing. ie. sway_output_state,
sway_workspace_state and sway_container_state.
The focus, move and layout commands have been completely refactored to
work with the specific types. I considered making these a separate PR,
but I'd be backporting my changes only to replace them again, and it's
easier just to test everything at once.
This commit changes the arrange code in a way that will support type
safe arguments.
The arrange_output et al functions are now public, however I opted not
to use them directly yet. I've kept the generic arrange_windows there
for convenience until type safety is fully implemented. This means this
patch has much less risk of breaking things as it would otherwise.
To be type safe, arrange_children_of cannot exist in its previous form
because the thing passed to it could be either a workspace or a
container. So it's now renamed to arrange_children and accepts a list_t,
as well as the parent layout and parent's box.
There was some code which checked the grandparent's layout to see if it
was tabbed or stacked and adjusted the Y offset of the grandchild
accordingly. Accessing the grandparent layout isn't easy when using type
safe arguments, and it seemed odd to even need to do this. I determined
that this was needed because a child of a tabbed container would have a
swayc Y matching the top of the tab bar. I've changed this so a child of
a tabbed container will have a swayc Y matching the bottom of the tab
bar, which means we don't need to access the grandparent layout. Some
tweaks to the rendering and autoconfigure code have been made to
implement this, and the container_at code appears to work without
needing any changes.
arrange_children_of (now arrange_children) would check if the parent had
gaps and would copy them to the child, effectively making the
workspace's gaps recurse into all children. We can't do this any more
without passing has_gaps, gaps_inner and gaps_outer as arguments to
arrange_children, so I've changed the add_gaps function to retrieve it
from the workspace directly.
apply_tabbed_or_stacked_layout has been split into two functions, as it
had different logic depending on the layout.
Lastly, arrange.h had an unnecessary include of transaction.h. I've
removed it, which means I've had to add it to several other files.
When we have type safety we'll need to have functions for
workspace_add_tiling and so on. This means the existing container
functions will be just for containers, so they are being moved to
container.c. At this point layout.c doesn't contain much else, so I've
relocated everything and removed the file.
* container_swap and its static functions have been moved to the swap
command and made static.
* container_recursive_resize has been moved to the resize command and
made static.
* The following have been moved to container.c:
* container_handle_fullscreen_reparent
* container_insert_child
* container_add_sibling
* container_add_child
* container_remove_child
* container_replace_child
* container_split
* enum movement_direction and sway_dir_to_wlr have been moved to util.c.
Side note: Several commands included layout.h which then included
root.h. With layout.h gone, root.h has to be included by those commands.
This list includes disabled outputs.
When sway_container is demoted, we'll need to store the root's children
(ie. enabled outputs) in the sway_root. It makes sense to put these in a
list called `outputs`, so I'm renaming the existing list in advance.
This changes the destroy functions to the following:
* output_begin_destroy
* output_destroy
* workspace_begin_destroy
* workspace_destroy
* container_begin_destroy
* container_destroy
* view_begin_destroy
* view_destroy
The terminology was `destroy` and `free`, and it has been changed to
`begin_destroy` and `destroy` respectively.
When the last output is disconnected, its workspaces will now be stashed
in the root. Upon connection of a new output they will be restored.
There is a new function `workspace_consider_destroy` which decides
whether the given workspace should be destroyed or not (ie. empty and
not visible).
Calling container_begin_destroy will no longer automatically reap the
parents. In some places we want to reap the parents and in some we
don't, so this is left to the caller.
container_reap_empty_recursive and container_reap_empty have been
combined into one function and it will recurse up the tree.
Workspaces previously had a magical `workspace->floating` container,
which had a layout of L_FLOATING and whose children were actual floating
views. This allowed some conveniences, but was a hacky solution because
the container has to be exempt from focus, coordinate transactions with
the workspace, and omit emitting IPC events (which we didn't do).
This commit changes it to be a list directly in the sway_workspace. The
L_FLOATING layout is no longer used so this has been removed as well.
* Fixes incorrect check in the swap command (it checked if the
containers had the L_FLOATING layout, but this layout applied to the
magical container).
* Introduces workspace_add_floating
This introduces the following `for_each` functions:
* root_for_each_workspace
* root_for_each_container
* output_for_each_workspace
* output_for_each_container
* workspace_for_each_container
And introduces the following `find` functions:
* root_find_output
* root_find_workspace
* root_find_container
* output_find_workspace
* output_find_container
* workspace_find_container
* container_find_child
And removes the following functions:
* container_descendants
* container_for_each_descendant
* container_find
This change is preparing the way for demoting sway_container. Eventually
these functions will accept and return sway_outputs, sway_workspaces and
sway_containers (meaning a C_CONTAINER or C_VIEW).
This change also makes it easy to handle abnormalities like the
workspace floating list, root's scratchpad list and (once implemented)
root's saved workspaces list for when there's no connected outputs.
Fixes the render and container_at order for popups.
Fixes#2210
For rendering:
* render_view_surfaces has been renamed to render_view_toplevels
* render_view_toplevels now uses output_surface_for_each_surface (which
is now public), as that function uses wlr_surface_for_each_surface which
doesn't descend into popups
* Views now have a for_each_popup iterator, which is used by the
renderer to render the focused view's popups
* When rendering a popup, toplevels (xdg subsurfaces) of that popup are
also rendered
For sending frame done, the logic has been updated to match the
rendering logic:
* send_frame_done_container no longer descends into popups
* for_each_popup is used to send frame done to the focused view's popups
and their child toplevels
For container_at:
* floating_container_at is now static, which means it had to be moved
higher in the file.
* container_at now considers popups for the focused view before checking
containers.
* tiling_container_at has been introduced, so that it doesn't call
container_at recursively (it would check popups recursively if it did)
The rendering code doesn't use the exclusive input surface at all
anymore to decide to skip rendering of shell surfaces. This fixes
a weird situation in which a client requests exclusive input but
isn't an overlay layer surface.
The renderer also renders all overlay surfaces in this situation,
not just one. This simplifies the code and fixes rendering when
there are more than one overlay surfaces (e.g. for a virtual
keyboard to type the lockscreen password).
This PR changes the way we handle transactions to a more simple method.
The new method is to mark containers as dirty from low level code
(eg. arranging, or container_destroy, and eventually seat_set_focus),
then call transaction_commit_dirty which picks up those containers and
runs them through a transaction. The old methods of using transactions
(arrange_and_commit, or creating one manually) are now no longer
possible.
The highest-level code (execute_command and view implementation
handlers) will call transaction_commit_dirty, so most other code just
needs to set containers as dirty. This is done by arranging, but can
also be done by calling container_set_dirty.
The title and marks textures would have their height set from the
config's computed max font height, but the textures were not regenerated
when the config's max font height changed which made a gap appear.
Rather than making it regenerate the title textures every time the
config font height was changed, I've changed it to just make the
textures the height of the title itself and fill any gap when rendering.
Also, the title_width and marks_width variables have been renamed to
make it more obvious that they are in output-buffer-local coordinates.
Fixes#1936.
