At quick glance, it doesn't seem like there's any benefit from storing
the shadow elements as pixmaps. It saves us some QImage <-> QPixmap
conversions too.
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.
There are a few benefits to using smart pointers from the standard library:
- std::unique_ptr has move semantics. With move semantics, transfer of ownership
can be properly expressed
- std::shared_ptr is more efficient than QSharedPointer
- more developers are used to them, making contributions for newcomers easier
We're also already using a mix of both; because Qt shared pointers provide
no benefits, porting to standard smart pointers improves consistency in
the code base. Because of that, this commit ports most of the uses of QSharedPointer
to std::shared_ptr, and some uses of QScopedPointer to std::unique_ptr
The .clang-format file is based on the one in ECM except the following
style options:
- AlwaysBreakBeforeMultilineStrings
- BinPackArguments
- BinPackParameters
- ColumnLimit
- BreakBeforeBraces
- KeepEmptyLinesAtTheStartOfBlocks
This decouples the management of Shadow from the scene window and allows
multiple items share the same Shadow.
Currently, kwin has a single scene graph, but it makes sense to create a
scene graph per output as they could have different layers, etc. This
would also allow QtQuick share more textures with kwin, which is worth
doing for optimization purposes in the future.
Window quads need to be in some coordinate space. Since we want items to
be used not only for rendering windows, window-local coordinates do not
suffice.
This change makes scene items generate quads in the item-local coordinate
space.
The model matrix is used to map the quads to the global screen coordinate
system from the item coordinate space.
Since the quads are in the item local coordinate space, the mvp matrix
needs to be updated on every draw call. Given the render data, tracking
the last mvp matrix won't result in less glUniform calls. If this indeed
becomes a serious performance bottleneck, we can explore the possibility
of dumping mvp matrices in a UBO, which have been introduced in OpenGL
3.1.
The scene items depend on the scene windows for caching window quads.
The goal of this change is to move window quads management to item.
Merging window quads in one list and then splitting them is inefficient,
it will be highly desirable if window quads are removed from the public
api so we can optimize window quad management.
With this change, the window quad type becomes irrelevant to render
backends for the most part. Note that the Xrender backend is a bit
nitpicky about window quads, so the shadow item doesn't create generic
"WindowQuadShadow" quads anymore.
Once in a while, we receive complaints from other fellow KDE developers
about the file organization of kwin. This change addresses some of those
complaints by moving all of source code in a separate directory, src/,
thus making the project structure more traditional. Things such as tests
are kept in their own toplevel directories.
This change may wreak havoc on merge requests that add new files to kwin,
but if a patch modifies an already existing file, git should be smart
enough to figure out that the file has been relocated.
We may potentially split the src/ directory further to make navigating
the source code easier, but hopefully this is good enough already.
