This change extends the OutputChangesTest so it also covers the cases
where a maximized and a fullscreen window is moved back to its original
output when it's hotplugged.
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.
It adds more test cases in OutputChangesTest, particularly swapping
outputs.
Swapping outputs is an interesting case because outputs can temporarily
overlap so workspace()->outputAt() can return wrong output and the
window is going to stick to wrong output.
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.
AbstractOutput is not so Abstract and it's common to avoid the word
"Abstract" in class names as it doesn't contribute any new information.
It also significantly reduces the line width in some places.
The .clang-format file is based on the one in ECM except the following
style options:
- AlwaysBreakBeforeMultilineStrings
- BinPackArguments
- BinPackParameters
- ColumnLimit
- BreakBeforeBraces
- KeepEmptyLinesAtTheStartOfBlocks
The output management test checks the implementation of output
management capabilities in the virtual backend, which is not helpful.
This change replaces it with a more useful test that verifies how
windows are placed after an output change.
