Stop trying to maintain a per-file _POSIX_C_SOURCE. Instead,
require POSIX.1-2008 globally. A lot of core source files depend
on that already.
Some care must be taken on a few select files where we need a bit
more than POSIX. Some files need XSI extensions (_XOPEN_SOURCE) and
some files need BSD extensions (_DEFAULT_SOURCE). In both cases,
these feature test macros imply _POSIX_C_SOURCE. Make sure to not
define both these macros and _POSIX_C_SOURCE explicitly to avoid
POSIX requirement conflicts (e.g. _POSIX_C_SOURCE says POSIX.1-2001
but _XOPEN_SOURCE says POSIX.1-2008).
Additionally, there is one special case in render/vulkan/vulkan.c.
That file needs major()/minor(), and these are system-specific.
On FreeBSD, _POSIX_C_SOURCE hides system-specific symbols so we need
to make sure it's not defined for this file. On Linux, we can
explicitly include <sys/sysmacros.h> and ensure that apart from
symbols defined there the file only uses POSIX toys.
This makes it easy for compositors to handle situations where the
DRM or libinput backend becomes unavailable. Compositors can listen
the destroy event of the multi backend returned by
wlr_backend_autocreate() and decide what to do.
wl_display holds a lot more than wlr_session needs: wlr_session
only needs to wait for a FD to become readable, but wl_display
provides full access to the Wayland client and protocol objects.
Switch to wl_event_loop to better reflect the above.
We can just assume CLOCK_MONOTONIC everywhere.
Simplifies the backend API, and fixes clock mismatches when multiple
backends are used together with different clocks.
Instead of littering #ifdefs everywhere, move them to the dedicated
attempt_XXX_backend() functions. This makes the logic in
wlr_backend_autocreate() more readable, and provides better error
messages when the X11/Wayland backends are disabled at compile-time,
or when WLR_BACKENDS contains a backend disabled at compile-time.
When we change the required dependencies for the DRM backend,
Meson might auto-disable the backend for users missing the new
requirements. This results in confused users [1] because they don't
notice the "drm-backend: NO" line burried in the Meson logs, and
then get a black screen when starting the compositor.
Update wlr_backend_autocreate() to refuse to create a backend with
only libinput (without DRM).
Users really wanting to start their compositor with a libinput
backend and without a DRM backend can manually set WLR_BACKENDS.

Up until now, wlr_backend_autocreate() created the wlr_session and
then stuffed it into struct wlr_multi_backend so that compositors
can grab it later.
This is an abuse of wlr_multi_backend and the wlr_backend API:
wlr_backend_get_session() and wlr_multi_backend.session only exist
to accomodate the needs of wlr_backend_autocreate(). What's more,
the DRM and libinput backends don't implement
wlr_backend_impl.get_session.
Instead, return the struct wlr_session to the compositor in the
wlr_backend_autocreate() call. wlr_backend_get_session() will be
removed in the next commit.
The libinput backend is now optional. However, this means that a
user building wlroots without the correct libinput dependencies
will end up with a compositor which doesn't respond to input events.
wlr_backend_autocreate is supposed to return a sensible setup, so in
this case let's just error out and explain what happened. Users can
suppress the check by setting WLR_LIBINPUT_NO_DEVICES=1 (already used
to suppress the zero input device case inside the libinput backend).
Compositors which really want to create a bare DRM backend can easily
create it manually instead of using wlr_backend_autocreate.
Since libinput is an optional dependency the libinput backend is possibly undeclared.
wlr_backend_destroy(backend) below will clean up the child libinput backend if any.
This commit adds two error-handling cases to the function
attempt_dmr_backend. Specifically:
- In the case where the number of found GPUs is zero, we now
print a log message indicating this and return a NULL pointer
- In the case where we could not successfully create a backend
on any GPU, we now log a message indicating this and return
a NULL pointer
This allows us to provide more descriptive error messages,
as well as avoid a SEGFAULT (the function
`ensure_primary_backend_renderer_and_allocator` dereferences the pointer
given, which could be NULL until this patch) when these cases arise.
After 70fb21c35b made libinput optional the include prevents
building without libinput package installed.
backend/backend.c:4:10: fatal error: 'libinput.h' file not found
#include <libinput.h>
^~~~~~~~~~~~
Instead of ensuring the renderer and allocator are initialized in each
backend, do it in wlr_backend_autocreate. This allows compositors to
create backends without any renderer/allocator if they side-step
wlr_backend_autocreate.
Since the wlr_backend_get_renderer and backend_get_allocator end up
calling wlr_renderer_autocreate and wlr_allocator_autocreate, it sounds
like a good idea to centralize all of the opimionated bits in one place.
This new functions cleans up the common backend state. While this
currently only emits the destroy signal, this will also clean up
the renderer and allocator in upcoming patches.
The get_drm_fd was made available in an internal header with a53ab146f. Move it
now to the public header so consumers opting in to the unstable interfaces can
make use of it.
