We use the PMF syntax so the isValid() check is unnecessary as the
compiler will notify about wrong signal at compile time. It makes
writing autotests feel less boilerplaty.
Currently the Workspace processes output updates as they occur, e.g.
when the drm backend scans connectors, the Workspace will handle
hotplugged outputs one by one or if an output configuration changes the
mode of several outputs, the workspace will process output layout
updates one by one instead of handling it in one pass. The main reason
for the current behavior is simplicity.
However, that can create issues because it's possible that the output
layout will be temporarily in degenerate state and features such as
sticking windows to their outputs will be broken.
In order to fix that, this change makes the Workspace process batched
output updates. There are several challenges - disconnected outputs have
to be alive when the outputsQueried signal is emitted, the workspace
needs to determine what outputs have been added or removed on its own.
Things such as Output, InputDevice and so on are made to be
multi-purpose. In order to make this separation more clear, this change
moves that code in the core directory. Some things still link to the
abstraction level above (kwin), they can be tackled in future refactors.
Ideally code in core/ should depend either on other code in core/ or
system libs.
This change adjusts the window management abstractions in kwin for the
drm backend providing more than just "desktop" outputs.
Besides that, it has other potential benefits - for example, the
Workspace could start managing allocation of the placeholder output by
itself, thus leading to some simplifications in the drm backend. Another
is that it lets us move wayland code from the drm backend.
With fractional scaling integer based logical geometry may not match
device pixels. Once we have a floating point base we can fix that. This
also is
important for our X11 scale override, with a scale of 2 we could
get logical sizes with halves.
We already have all input being floating point, this doubles down on it
for all remaining geometry.
- Outputs remain integer to ensure that any screen on the right remains
aligned.
- Placement also remains integer based for now.
- Repainting is untouched as we always expand outwards
(QRectF::toAdjustedRect().
- Decoration is untouched for now
- Rules are integer in the config, but floating in the adjusting/API
This should also be fine.
At some point we'll add a method to snap to the device pixel
grid. Effectively `round(value * dpr) / dpr` though right now things
mostly work.
This also gets rid of a lot of hacks for QRect right and bottom which
are very
confusing.
Parts to watch out in the port are:
QRectF::contains now includes edges
QRectF::right and bottom are now sane so previous hacks have to be
removed
QRectF(QPoint, QPoint) behaves differently for the same reason
QRectF::center too
In test results some adjusted values which are the result of
QRect.center because using QRectF's center should behave the same to the
user.
