In many cases it's irrelevant, what we care about is whether given effect
is loaded and performs its function. So remove these paranoid checks
except the tests where it's important to use OpenGL compositing.
The virtual backend uses the surfaceless platform. On the other hand, we
move in a direction where the graphics buffer type is explicit, which
creates issues for the virtual backend.
This change ports the virtual backend to gbm so we could manually
allocate dmabuf buffers in order to unify buffer handling in kwin.
Its main drawback is that you won't be able to use the virtual backend
on setups without render nodes. On the other hand, given that the
compositor is meaningless without clients being able to share buffers
with it, it's reasonable to require some way to create and export prime
buffers.
Currently Deleted are destroyed with a delay to avoid dangling pointers
within the middle of painting.
On the other hand, it's reasonable to require not to delete windows when
kwin starts painting the screen.
Over the years, we refactored how deleted windows. They are always
unreferenced after finishing the current frame. So it should be fine to
destroy Deleted immediately now.
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.
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.
The .clang-format file is based on the one in ECM except the following
style options:
- AlwaysBreakBeforeMultilineStrings
- BinPackArguments
- BinPackParameters
- ColumnLimit
- BreakBeforeBraces
- KeepEmptyLinesAtTheStartOfBlocks
The main idea behind the render backend is to decouple low level bits
from scenes. The end goal is to make the render backend provide render
targets where the scene can render.
Design-wise, such a split is more flexible than the current state, for
example we could start experimenting with using qtquick (assuming that
the legacy scene is properly encapsulated) or creating multiple scenes,
for example for each output layer, etc.
So far, the RenderBackend class only contains one getter, more stuff will
be moved from the Scene as it makes sense.
The main motivation behind this change is to prepare kwin for importing
kwayland-server code in libkwin.
As is, builtin effects are linked with libkwin. Some builtin effects
have wayland specific code. If we move wayland stuff in libkwin, there's
going to be a circular dependency between kwin4_effect_builtins and
libkwin targets.
This change intends to break that dependency by linking builtin effects
to kwin executable.
The main issue with that is that EffectLoader would need to discover the
effects indirectly. QStaticPlugin is used for that purpose.
Besides breaking the cyclic dependency, it makes builtin effects use the
same plugin infrastructure in libkwineffects that external effects use.
Metadata in src/effects/effect_builtins.cpp was converted in a list of
python dictionaries, which was fed to a python script that generated
main.cpp and metadata.json files.
With a "Surface" type in kwin, KWayland::Client::Surface without fully
specified namespace will conflict with kwin's Surface type.
In some way, it also improves readability as it's clear where Surface
comes from.
Summary:
QScriptEngine is deprecated for years and suffers bitrot.
Plasma hit one super major bug with it in 5.11.0 and has now ported
away.
Main porting notes:
- creating low level functions no longer exists
The old global functions are exposed on the ScriptedEffect instance
and then the QJSValue wrappers of the globalObject are modified to
trampoline the methods at a wrapper level.
- We can then use QJSEngine to automatically do argument error checking
rather than unmarshalling a QJSValue manually which significantly
reduces a lot of code.
- We can't make FPX2 a native type, so these are QJSValue args and
unboxed there.
Long term I want overloads for animate that take int/QSize/QPoint which
are native JS types, but that might be an API break.
Test Plan:
Hopefully comprehensive unit test which passes
Tested fade/fadeDesktop manually.
It's a very invasive change, so I expect some things will be broke
please help test any JS effects.

The main advantage of SPDX license identifiers over the traditional
license headers is that it's more difficult to overlook inappropriate
licenses for kwin, for example GPL 3. We also don't have to copy a
lot of boilerplate text.
In order to create this change, I ran licensedigger -r -c from the
toplevel source directory.
The new signal is emitted when the Application has fully been initialized.
It allows us to change the startup sequence, for example create workspace
before starting the Xwayland server, without making any adjustments in our
test suit.
Summary:
xdg-shell stable has been around for quite a while. A quick analysis
showed that many distros ship GTK and Qt that support both xdg-shell
v6 and stable. Therefore, we can drop support for legacy v6 protocol.

Summary:
Currently, we have only one shell client type - XdgShellClient. We use
it when we are dealing with Wayland clients. But it isn't really a good
idea because we may need to support shell surfaces other than xdg-shell
ones, for example input panel surfaces.
In order to make kwin more extensible, this change replaces all usages
of the XdgShellClient class with the AbstractClient class.
Test Plan: Existing tests pass.

Summary:
Effects that prefer to manipulate direction of animations sometimes need
to create animations in some particular state so later on they can be
played backward (swapping from and to is not enough and it would be wrong).
The proposed complete function lets such effects to fast-forward animations to
to the target position so they can be played backwards later on.

Summary:
Consider current implementation of the Squash effect: if a window was
minimized, an animation will be started; if the window is unminimized
and the animation is still active (that can happen when user clicks on
app's icon really fast), the animation will be stopped and a new one will
be created. Such behavior can lead to rapid jumps in the observed
"animation".
A better approach would be first try to **reverse** the already active
animation, and if that attempt wasn't successful, start a new animation.
This patch introduces a new function to the scripted effects API that
lets JavaScript effects to control direction of animations. The
prototype of the function looks as follows:
redirect(<animation id(s)>, <direction>, [<termination policy>])
the first argument is an animation id or a list of animation ids, the
second argument specifies the new direction of the animation or
animations if a list of ids was passed as the first argument. The
third argument specifies whether the animation(s) should be terminated
when it(they) reaches the source position, currently it's relevant only
for animations that are created with set() function. The termination
policy argument is optional, by default it's Effect.TerminateAtSource.
We can use this function to fix issues with rapid jumps in the Squash
effect. Also, redirect() lets us to write effects for simple animations
in slightly different style: first, we have to start the main animation
(e.g. for the Dialog Parent effect, it would be dimming of main windows)
and then change direction of the animation depending on external events,
e.g. when the Desktop Cube effect is activated.

Some JavaScript based effects need to grab particular windows in order
to avoid conflicts with other effects.

if (effect.grab(window, Effect.WindowAddedGrabRole)) {
window.coolWindowTypeAnimation = animate({
...

Summary:
If a modal window is closed and some alternative effect that animates
the disappearing of windows is enabled(e.g. the Glide effect, or the
Scale effect), the Dialog Parent effect can cause flickering of the
parent window because its animation duration doesn't match duration of
those alternative effects.
Also, if the Fade effect, the Glide effect, and the Scale effect are
disabled, the Dialog Parent will keep the parent window alive for no
good reason.
This change addresses that problem by adding keepAlive property to
`animate` function so scripted effects have more control over lifetime
of animated windows.
If both a modal window and its parent window are closed at the same time
(and there is no effect that animates the disappearing of windows), the
Dialog Parent will stop immediately(because windowDeleted will be
emitted right after windowClosed signal).
If both a modal window and its parent window are closed at the same time
(and there is effect that animates the disappearing of windows), the
Dialog Parent won't reference the latter window. Thus, it won't cause
flickering. I.e. it will "passively" animate parent windows.

Summary:
Getter is exposed as a property on scripted effect in a way that hides
pointers from the scripting side.
Setter is implicitly handled as a property of newly created animations
and holds the activeFullScreenEffect whilst any of them are active. Like
existing effects it remains up to the effect author to avoid the
problems of multiple full screen effects. The RAII lock pattern is
somewhat overkill currently, but it's the direction I hope we can take
EffectsHandler in next API break.

No shipped kwin effect actually used it.
