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 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.
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 creates a root.c and moves bits and pieces from elsewhere into it.
* layout_init has been renamed to root_create and moved into root.c
* root_destroy has been created and is called on shutdown
* scratchpad code has been moved into root.c, because hidden scratchpad
containers are stored in the root struct
