Suppose the following:
* Transactions are already in progress - say transaction A.
* View A maps, which creates transaction B and appends it to the
transaction queue.
* View B maps, which creates transaction C and appends it to the queue.
* View A unmaps, which creates transaction D and appends it to the
queue.
* Transaction A completes, so transaction B attempts to save View A's
buffer, but this doesn't exist so it saves nothing.
* Rendering code attempts to render View A, but there is no saved buffer
nor live buffer that it can use.
Rather than implement an elaborate solution for a rare circumstance,
I've take the safe option of just not rendering anything for that view.
It means that if you reproduce the scenario above, you might get the
title and borders rendered but no surface.
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.
Depends on https://github.com/swaywm/wlroots/pull/1222.
I don't know of a program that sets the state to modal without setting
the window type, but I know the modal property works because logging the
property shows it's true for the Firefox Open File dialog.
This moves the arrange_windows call into the arrange_layers function,
where we know the output actually needs to be arranged.
Additionally, we shouldn't set focus to the parent of an unknown
container type, because the parent may be an output and this causes a
crash because outputs can't have direct focus.
Fixes#2543
When collecting focus to save into the transaction state, the workspace
needs to look in the tiling list only.
As seat_get_focus_inactive_tiling returns any descendant, the list also
needs to be traversed back up to the direct child of the workspace.
Fixes#2532
When there's multiple transactions in the queue, sway can take a
shortcut by checking if they all operate on the same set of containers.
If they do, it can skip all but the last transaction. The way we tested
for transactions which used the same containers was to exclusive-or
their con IDs together, but this has proved not only to be ineffective
but also has the potential to make sway crash.
This patch replaces the exclusive-or with a loop and container
comparison.
* In layout command, arrange parent of parent - not sure why this is
needed but it is
* Remove gap adjustment when rendering
* Workspace should use outer gaps, not inner
* Add exceptions for tabbed and stacked containers
* Don't mess with gap state when splitting a container
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.
Previously we used a reparent event to detect when a view changes
parent, then sent an output enter/leave to the surfaces if needed. This
worked for tiling views but not floating views, as floating views can
intersect another output without changing parent.
The solution implemented for floating views also applies cleanly to
tiling views, so the previous method has been completely replaced and
the reparent event has been removed.
This introduces a new function container_discover_outputs. This function
compares the container's `current` position to the outputs, sends enter
and leave events as needed, and keeps track of which outputs it's
intersecting in a new `container->outputs` list. If it has entered a new
output with a different scale then the title and marks textures will
also be recreated at the new scale.
The function is called when a transaction applies. This is convenient as
it means we don't have to call it from various places.
There is imperfect rendering when a floating view overlaps two outputs
with different scales. It renders correctly for the most recently
entered output, but there is only one title texture so it renders
incorrectly on the old output.
Fixes#2482
We were removing the saved buffer when one transaction applies, then
didn't have a new buffer to save when the next transaction ran. This
made the rendering code crash as it had no surface to use.
This commit makes it continue to hold the buffer if the view is
destroying and has more transactions. Additionally, a check is added
when saving the buffer to make sure there's no one already there.
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 makes all debug options stored in a single struct rather than in
various places, changes/fixes the behaviour of existing options, and
introduces some new options.
* Fixes damage issues with `-Drender-tree` texture (by removing scissor)
* Offsets the render tree overlay's `y` position for those who have
swaybar at the top
* Replaces `-Ddamage=rerender` with `-Dnodamage`
* Replaces `-Ddamage=highlight` with `-Dhighlight-damage`
* Replaces `-Dtxn-debug` with `-Dtxn-wait`
* Introduces `-Dnoatomic`
* Removes the `create_time` and `ms_arranging` figures from transactions
and the log message. Transactions are created after arranging and the
create time is of no significance.
* Fixes `-Dtxn-debug` (now `-Dtxn-wait`) not working.
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.
This fixes a race condition flicker when unfloating a view which uses
client side decorations.
When the view is floated it has using_csd = true, so the decorations are
not drawn. When unfloating it it changes to false, but this change
wasn't part of transactions so it could potentially render the
decorations around the view while it's waiting for the transaction to
apply.
Commit 4b8e3a885b makes it so only one
transaction is committed (ie. configures sent) at a time. This commit
removes the now-unnecessary code which was used to support concurrent
committed transactions.
* Instead of containers storing a list of instructions which they've
been sent, it now stores a single instruction.
* Containers now have an ntxnrefs property. Previously we knew how many
references there were by the length of the instruction list.
* Instructions no longer need a ready property. It was used to avoid
marking an instruction ready twice when they were in a list, but this is
now avoided because there is only one instruction and we nullify the
container->instruction pointer when it's ready.
* When a transaction applies, we no longer need to consider releasing
and resaving the surface, as we know there are no other committed
transactions.
* transaction_notify_view_ready has been renamed to
view_notify_view_ready_by_serial to make it consistent with
transaction_notify_view_ready_by_size.
* Out-of-memory checks have been added when creating transactions and
instructions.
This fixes an issue where views might commit to a transaction ahead of
the first one, and applying the first transaction causes us to save a
buffer of the wrong size.
* The OP_RESIZE seat operation has been renamed to OP_RESIZE_FLOATING,
and OP_RESIZE_TILING has been introduced.
* Similar to the above, seat_begin_resize and handle_resize_motion have
been renamed and tiling variants introduced.
* resize.c's resize_tiled has to be used, so container_resize_tiled has
been introduced in resize.c to allow external code to call it.
