We need a couple of connections to ensure that the window pixmap, the
window quad cache, and the window shape get discarded when the geometry
of the toplevel has been changed. Currently, those connections are
created with the receiver object being the scene. The problem is that
the associated wayland surface may outlive the toplevel and we don't
cleanup the connections after the scene window has been destroyed.
The fact that the connections don't get destroyed can lead to accessing
dangling pointers, which may result in a crash.
In order to ensure that the connections are broken automatically when
the scene window is destroyed, we need to ensure that the received
object is the scene window. That way, the connections will be destroyed
automatically.
We currently deal with three distinct coordinate spaces - the window
pixmap coordinate space, the window coordinate space, and the buffer
pixel coordinate space.
This change introduces a couple of helper methods to make it easier
to map points from the window pixmap space to the other two spaces.
The main motivation behind the new helpers is to break the direct
relationship between the surface-local coordinates and buffer pixel
coordinates for wayland surfaces.
No window quads are generated for sub-surfaces right now. This leads to
issues with effects that operate on window quads, e.g. magic lamp and
wobbly windows. Furthermore, the OpenGL scene needs window quads to
properly clip windows during the rendering process.
The best way to render sub-surfaces would be with a little help from a
scene graph. Contrary to GNOME, KDE hasn't developed any scene graph
implementation that we could use in kwin. As a short term solution, this
change adjusts the scene to generate window quads.
Window quads are generated as we traverse the current window pixmap tree
in the depth-first search manner. In order to match a list of quads with
a particular WindowPixmap, we assign an id to each quad.

We need to release the previous window pixmap if the new pixmap is
valid. However, it's currently the case only when the client has
attached either an fbo buffer or a wl_buffer. If an internal client
has attached a raster buffer, the previous window pixmap won't be
released.
In order to ensure that we're going to release the previous window
pixmaps no matter what type of buffer has been attached, this change
refactors WindowPixmap to use isValid() to verify that the new
window pixmap is valid.

The output image is not downscaled and has the same size as the screen resolution.

Summary:
When a window is being interactively resized, its contents may jump. The
reason why that happens is because KWin renders partially resized client
window. Composite extension spec says that a window will get a new pixmap
each time it is resized or mapped. This applies to the frame window, but
not to the client window itself. If the client window is resized,
off-screen storage for the frame window won't be reallocated. Therefore,
KWin may render partially resized client window if the client doesn't
attempt to be in sync with our rendering loop. Currently, the only way
to do that is to use extended frame counters, which are not supported by
KWin.
So, in order to fix visual artifacts during interactive resize, we need
somehow forcefully re-allocate off-screen storage for the frame window.
Unfortunately, Composite extension doesn't provide any request to do
that, so the only option we have is to resize the frame window.

Summary:
Since KDE 4.2 - 4.3 times, KWin doesn't paint window decorations on real
X11 windows, except when compositing is turned off. This leaves us with
a problem. The actual client contents is inside a larger texture with no
useful pixel data around it. This and decoration texture bleeding are
the main factors that contribute to 1px gap between the server-side
decoration and client contents with effects such as wobbly windows, and
zoom.
Another problem with naming frame pixmap instead of client pixmap is
that it doesn't quite go along with wayland. It only makes more difficult
to abstract window quad generation in the scene.
Since we don't actually need the frame window when compositing is on,
there is nothing that holds us from redirecting client windows instead
of frame windows. This will help us to fix the texture bleeding issue
and also help us with the ongoing redesign of the scene.
Test Plan: X11 clients are still composited.

Summary:
Qt has its own thing where a type might also have corresponding list
alias, e.g. QObject and QObjectList, QWidget and QWidgetList. I don't
know why Qt does that, maybe for some historical reasons, but what
matters is that we copy this pattern here in KWin. While this pattern
might be useful with some long list types, for example
QList<QWeakPointer<TabBoxClient>> TabBoxClientList
in general, it causes more harm than good. For example, we've got two
new client types, do we need corresponding list typedefs for them? If
no, why do we have ClientList and so on?
Another problem with these typedefs is that you need to include utils.h
header in order to use them. A better way to handle such things is to
just forward declare a client class (if that's possible) and use it
directly with QList or QVector. This way translation units don't get
"bloated" with utils.h stuff for no apparent reason.
So, in order to make code more consistent and easier to follow, this
change drops some of our custom typedefs. Namely ConstClientList,
ClientList, DeletedList, UnmanagedList, ToplevelList, and GroupList.

Currently our Scene is quite naive about geometry. It assumes that the
window frame wraps the attached buffer/client. While this is true for X11
clients, such geometry model is not suitable for client-side decorated
clients, in our case for xdg-shell clients that set window geometry
other than the bounding rectangle of the main surface.
In general, the proposed solution doesn't make any concrete assumptions
about the order between frame and buffer geometry, however we may still
need to reconsider the design of Scene once it starts to generate quads
for sub-surfaces.

Compositing in X11 was done time shifted, meaning that we paint first, then
wait one vblank interval length and present on prepareRenderingFrame the
previous paint result. This is supposed to make sure we don't miss the vblank
and in case of block till retrace be able to continue issuing commands and
only shortly before next vblank present.
This is counter-intuitiv, not how we do it on Wayland or even on MESA with X.
The reason seems to be that the GLX backend was in the beginning written
against Nvidia proprietary driver which needed this but nowadays even this
driver defaults to non-blocking behavior on buffer swap.
Therefore remove this legacy anomaly fully and directly present after paint.
We then wait one refresh cycle and in the future can optimize this by delaying
the paint and present till shortly before vsync.

Summary:
EffectQuickView/Scene is a convenient class to render a QtQuick
scenegraph into an effect.
Current methods (such as present windows) involve creating an underlying
platform window which is expensive, causes a headache to filter out
again in the rest of the code, and only works as an overlay.
The new class exposes things more natively to an effect where we don't
mess with real windows, we can perform the painting anywhere in the view
and we don't have issues with hiding/closing.
QtQuick has both software and hardware accelerated modes, and kwin also
has 3 render backends. Every combination is supported.
* When used in OpenGL mode for both, we render into an FBO export the
texture ID then it's up to the effect to render that into a scene.
* When using software QtQuick rendering we blit into an image, upload
that into a KWinGLTexture which serves as an abstraction layer and
render that into the scene.
* When using GL for QtQuick and XRender/QPainter in kwin everything is
rendered into the internal FBO, blit and exported as an image.
* When using software rendering for both an image gets passed directly.
Mouse and keyboard events can be forwarded, only if the effect
intercepts them.
The class is meant to be generic enough that we can remove all the
QtQuick code from Aurorae.
The intention is also to replace EffectFrameImpl using this backend and
we can kill all of the EffectFrame code throughout the scenes.
The close button in present windows will also be ported to this,
simplifiying that code base.
Classes that handle the rendering and handling QML are intentionally
split so that in the future we can have a declarative effects API create
overlays from within the same context. Similar to how one can
instantiate windows from a typical QML scene.
Notes:
I don't like how I pass the kwin GL context from the backends into the
effect, but I need something that works with the library separation. It
also currently has wayland problem if I create a QOpenGLContext before
the QPA is set up with a scene - but I don't have anything better?
I know for the EffectFrame we need an API to push things through the
effects stack to handle blur/invert etc. Will deal with that when we
port the EffectFrame.

Summary:
So far wayland was used by internal clients to submit raster buffers
and position themselves on the screen. While we didn't have issues with
submitting raster buffers, there were some problems with positioning
task switchers. Mostly, because we had effectively two paths that may
alter geometry.
A better approach to deal with internal clients is to let our QPA use
kwin core api directly. This way we can eliminate unnecessary roundtrips
as well make geometry handling much easier and comprehensible.
The last missing piece is shadows. Both Plasma::Dialog and Breeze widget
style use platform-specific APIs to set and unset shadows. We need to
add shadows API to KWindowSystem. Even though some internal clients lack
drop-shadows at the moment, I don't consider it to be a blocker. We can
add shadows back later on.

Summary:
Currently code base of kwin can be viewed as two pieces. One is very
ancient, and the other one is more modern, which uses new C++ features.
The main problem with the ancient code is that it was written before
C++11 era. So, no override or final keywords, lambdas, etc.
Quite recently, KDE compiler settings were changed to show a warning if
a virtual method has missing override keyword. As you might have already
guessed, this fired back at us because of that ancient code. We had
about 500 new compiler warnings.
A "solution" was proposed to that problem - disable -Wno-suggest-override
and the other similar warning for clang. It's hard to call a solution
because those warnings are disabled not only for the old code, but also
for new. This is not what we want!
The main argument for not actually fixing the problem was that git
history will be screwed as well because of human factor. While good git
history is a very important thing, we should not go crazy about it and
block every change that somehow alters git history. git blame allows to
specify starting revision for a reason.
The other argument (human factor) can be easily solved by using tools
such as clang-tidy. clang-tidy is a clang-based linter for C++. It can
be used for various things, e.g. fixing coding style(e.g. add missing
braces to if statements, readability-braces-around-statements check),
or in our case add missing override keywords.

Usually, SurfaceInterface::shadowChanged proceeds SurfaceInterface::sizeChanged,
so when the shadow is installed, window quads cache is rebuilt. But
because shell client already knows the geometry of the internal client,
goemetryShapeChanged is not emitted, thus the cache is not updated.
It would be better just to invalidate the cache when the shadow is
installed, uninstalled, or updated. This reduces the number of

Needed by testing of QPainter scene to access the back buffer. Exposed
as a virtual method in Scene, so that the test does not have to cast to
SceneQPainter.
Summary:
First step for loading the compositor Scenes through plugins. The general
idea is that we currently needlessly pull in all the Scenes although only
one will be used.
E.g. on X11 we pull in QPainter, although they are not compatible. On
Wayland we pull in XRender although they are not compatible.
Furthermore our current Scene creation strategy is not really fault
tolerant and can create situations where we don't get a compositor. E.g
on fbdev backend the default settings won't work as it does not support
OpenGL.
Long term I want to tackle those conceptional problems together:
we try to load all plugins supported by the current platform till we have
a scene which works. Thus on Wayland we don't end up in a situation where
we don't have a working compositor because the configuration is bad.
To make this possible the switch statement in the Scene needs to go and
needs to be replaced by a for loop iterating over all the available
scenes on the platform. If we go there it makes sense to replace it
directly with a plugin based approach.
So this is a change which tackles the problem by first introducing the
plugin loading. The xrender based scene (as it's the most simple one)
is moved into a plugin. It is first tried to find a scene plugin and only
if there is none the existing code is used.

This information can be used by effects to adjust their behavior, e.g.
PresentWindows could skip transitions or effects can use it in their

As a first step all scripted effects are considered to be unsupported
if animations are not supported. They inherit AnimationEffect and are
all about driving animations.
The information whether animations are supported comes from the Scene.
It's implemented in the following way:
* XRender: animations are always supported
* QPainter: animations are never supported
* OpenGL: animations are supported, except for software emulation

because a compositor needs to have it, but it never got truly integrated.
E.g. effects don't interact with it properly so that some things randomly
work, others don't. Will it trigger the screenedge, probably yes, but
will it show the highlight: properly no.
By removing the functionality we finally acknowledge that this mode is
not maintained and has not been maintained for years and that we do not
intend to support it better in future. Over the years we tried to make
it more and more hidden: it's disabled for Intel GPUs, because it used
to crash KWin. It's marked as an "expert" option, etc.
It's clearly something we tried to hide from the user that it exists.
For Wayland the whole unredirect infrastructure doesn't make sense
either. There is no such thing as "unredirecting". We might make use
of passing buffers directly to the underlying stack, but that will be
done automatically when we know it can be done, not by some magic is
this a window of specific size.
Test Plan:
Compiles, cannot really test as I am an Intel user who never
had that working.
