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.
Test Plan: Compiles.

Summary:
The support for interactive point selection was missing. This results in
the ColorPicker dbus API always returning an error on X11. We either need
to disable the ColorPicker on X11 or add support for this functionality.
As the X11 platform basically supports selecting a point in the
interactive window selection it makes more sense to add this missing
method in the platform than to disable support of color picker effect.
BUG: 387720
FIXED-IN: 5.12.1
Test Plan:
Run KWin/X11 on Xephyr and was able to pick a color and
kill a window

Summary:
A new virtual method is added to Platform:
startInteractiveWindowSelection
The interactive window selection enters a mode where the user can select
a window through the pointer or keyboard device. The cursor is turned
into a crosshair cursor, unless another cursor name is provided (e.g.
pirate for kill window).
Once a window is selected the provided callback method is invoked with
the selected Toplevel as argument. In case the user cancelled the
selection a nullptr argument is passed in.
Currently it's only implemented by the X11 standalone platform using the
logic from KillWindow. Just instead of killing the window the callback
is invoked.
KillWindow loses the X11 implementation and interacts with the new
functionality in Platform by providing a lambda function for the
killing.
Test Plan: Killing of X11 windows is still possible
