Effects currently modify the matrices by reading back the uniform
values from the shader they assume will be used to paint the window,
set new values for the uniforms, call paintWindow(), and then restore
the uniforms to their previous values.
This is both slow and unreliable, and will not work with dynamically
generated shaders.
This patch solves the problem by putting the matrices in
WindowPaintData and making it the responsibility of the paintWindow()
implementation to set the uniforms.
This adds new API in ShaderManager that makes it possible to request a
shader based on a set of traits. ShaderManager generates these shaders
on demand and caches them in a hash table.
Instead of getting size from displayWidth() and displayHeight() use
the information we have from Screens. This means there is only one
place to have the information and by that we can ensure that all
components use the same data to rely on. displayWidth/displayHeight
seem to provide the wrong information when unplugging an output
without disabling the output. This results in rendering artefacts.
But KWin::Screens has the correct information available.
This is the only place where it is called.
There was also no need for this function to be virtual since it's not
reimplemented anywhere.
This also fixes the GLTexturePrivate being created only to be
immediately deleted and replaced by a new GLTexturePrivate when the
GLTexture(QImage) constructor was used.
With this change the structure of the GLTexture effectively becomes
immutable to the outside world; the contents of the texture images can
change, but the texture images themselves cannot be reallocated.
QImage::Format_RGBA8888_Premultiplied is the equivalent of
GL_RGBA/GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, so use QImage::convertToFormat()
instead.
This commit also makes the texture upload code work correctly
on big-endian systems.
All of kwin except the main function goes into a new (private) library
called kwin. Two new kdeinit_executables are created:
* kwin_x11
* kwin_wayland
Both only use a dedicated main_x11.cpp and main_wayland.cpp with the
main function and a KWin::Application subclass and linking the new
kwin library.
The main idea behind this is to be able to perform more sane sanity
checks. E.g. on Wayland we don't need to first test whether we can
create an X11 connection. Instead we should abort if we cannot connect
to the Wayland display. Also the multi-head checks are not needed on
Wayland, etc. etc. As most of that code is in the main function to
simplify it's better to split.
This will also make it easier to diverge more easily in future. The
Wayland variant can introduce more suited command line arguments for
example. This already started by having the --replace option only
available in X11 variant. The Wayland backend is still a window manager,
but doesn't claim the manager selection.
The left and right border images are rotated 90° before they are
uploaded into the atlas texture. The images are separated by a row
of transparent texels to minimize artifacts from oversampling.
With this change kwin renders the whole decoration with a single
call to glDrawArrays().
When this property is true, it indicates that the +U axis corresponds
to the +Y axis, and the +V axis corresponds to the +X axis.
This property is taken into account in WindowQuad::makeSubQuad().
It doesn't make sense to convert the extension names to QStrings.
This also replaces the QString parameter in hasGLExtension() with
a QByteArray and adjusts all callers.
Remove the manually written GL dispatch code, and use libepoxy
to resolve functions.
The only exceptions are GLX_MESA_swap_control, which is not in
the XML API registry, and GL_ARB_robustness/GL_EXT_robustness.
For the latter we want to resolve the functions to the same names
on both GLES and desktop GL, and plug in our own implementations
when the extension is not supported.
The used platform interface is passed to the ::detect method as an
argument. The value is now cached in the GLPlatform instance so that
there is an easy way to figure out which platform interface is currently
used.
So far the effects could just use the connection() and rootWindow()
provided by kwinglobals. Thus an internal detail from KWin core is
accessed directly.
To be more consistent with the rest of the API it's wrapped through the
EffectsHandler and with a convenient method in Effect.
The connection() is provided as xcbConnection() to free the very generic
name connection which could create confusion once we provide a wayland
connection to the Effects.
The rootWindow() is provided as x11RootWindow() to indicate that it is
for the X11 world.

* add static cleanup handlers to GLTexturePrivate and GLRenderTarget
* revert the runtime resolved features (e.g. RenderTargets are not
supported once we run the cleanup code)
* clear the extension lists
* reset the version variables

Adds a cleanup() method to GLPLatform which deletes the static instance.
It gets invoked from cleanupGL() in kwinglutils on tear-down of the
OpenGL backend. Thus the backend doesn't leave incorrect GL info around.
E.g. if KWin starts with llvmpipe the recommended compositor is XRender.
So the backend and the platform is created. Now KWin starts the XRender
Compositor and the GLPlatform is still valid and when trying to load the
Blur or Contrast effect this will succeed as the GLPlatform data would
allow it. But on first try to use the Effect it will fail due to no
valid OpenGL context and even crash.

The EffectLoader is a subclass of AbstractEffectLoader delegating all
methods to instances of:
* BuiltInEffectLoader
* ScriptedEffectLoader
* PluginEffectLoader
It's used by the EffectsHandlerImpl and replaces the complete Effect
loading mechanism we so far found in it. This also means that KLibrary
is no longer needed to load the Effects as the PluginEffectLoader uses
the KPluginTrader, which removes lots of deprecated functionality.
REVIEW: 117054
A KWin::EffectPluginFactory is introduced which provides a specialized
create method and methods for the supported and enabledByDefault checks.
A set of KWIN_EFFECT_FACTORY macros are added which create a subclass
of this EffectPluginFactory following the approach from the
KPluginFactory macros. The macros only support json metadata thus the
QPluginTrader needs to be used.
The KWIN_EFFECT macros are removed as they are no longer needed.
KWin Core's loader is not yet adjusted to this change. This is a
preparation step for introducing a PluginEffectLoader.
This method replaces the X-KDE-ORDERING property in the Effect's desktop
files. This change is a preparation step for integrating the new Effect
Loader which doesn't read the ordering information. Thus it needs to be
provided by the Effect itself so that the EffectsHandler can properly
insert it into the chain.
Also for the built-in Effects on the long run it doesn't make much sense
to install the desktop files. And binary plugin effects will migrate to
json metadata which also doesn't have the KService::Ptr. Thus overall it
simplifies to read this information directly from the Effect.
XRenderUtils are split out of kwineffects and are an own library just
like kwinglutils is an own library.
The library gets always build and is linked in KWin core unconditionally
(as it's used in outline) and conditionally in kwineffects (PaintClipper)
and the built in effects depending on XRender build option.
XRenderUtils used connection() and rootWindow() provided by kwinglobals.
Those are now kept as static variables in the implementation set through
an init() method from Workspace prior to the first possible usage of any
functionality provided by XRenderUtils.
In order to make the xcb_connection_t* and the root window completely
internal the inline methods which used those are moved to the
implementation.
Instead of using EffectsHandler::sendReloadMessage we generate the dbus
interface in each plugin and call the reconfigure slot directly. That way
it's more type safe and we don't need to link kwineffects from the
configs.

There are no advantages for the effects KCM to have all the effect
config modules in one plugin.
By having a plugin per effect we can use the KPluginTrader to easily
find the configuration plugin for a given effect and load it.
To make this possible the following changes are done:
* config_builtins.cpp is deleted
* add_subdirectory is used for all effects which have a config module
* toplevel CMakeLists.txt contains the sources again for the effects
which have a config module, but effects which don't have a config
module are still included and thus the macro is still used
* plugin created for the config module, name pattern is:
kwin_effectname_config
* plugin installed to ${PLUGIN_INSTALL_DIR}/kwin/effects/configs
* desktop file adjusted to new plugin name and keyword removed
* desktop file converted to json as meta data and no longer installed
* Uses K_PLUGIN_FACTORY_WITH_JSON
* Macros for config are dropped from kwineffects.h
