Not supressing key repetition in backends seems like it was a bug, and
should be fixed as of https://github.com/Smithay/smithay/pull/1535.
So an argument for this should be unnecessary now.
Previously, screenshots and screencopy panicked if no DRM render nodes
are present.
Instead, create a `GlowRenderer` using llvmpipe, if available. This
should work as a fallback until pixman is integrated.
Avoids a little duplication (matching two variants, instead of three
backends).
The behavior, including errors and panics, should be unchanged for now.
Performance should also not be impacted.
This should help for adding llvmpipe rendering without a device node on
the kms backend, or for adding a variant for pixman.
It would make sense to have a bound like
`for<'frame> R::Frame<'frame>: AsGlowFrame<'frame>`. But that appears to
not behave properly due to current limitations of the borrow checker:
https://blog.rust-lang.org/2022/10/28/gats-stabilization.html#implied-static-requirement-from-higher-ranked-trait-bounds
Instead, this makes `glow_frame` and `glow_frame_mut` associated
functions of the `AsGlowRenderer` trait. Then it is pretty
straightforward to make the `RenderElement` implementations generic
using that and `FromGlesError`.
It would make sense to make `Self::Error: FromGlessError` a requirement
of the `AsGlowRenderer` trait, but due to the lack of implied bounds
support, that produces a bunch of errors about missing bounds. If Rustc
improves that eventually, some bounds could be cleaned up a bit:
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/44491
This is increasingly not just related to screencopy, so it's weird to
add there. I don't see any other module that fits, so add one called
"quirks" (like the Linux kernel uses for device-specific handling in
generic drives).
This allows `cosmic-workspaces` to rely on cosmic-comp for rendering the
background, and just have transparency. This should be a more reliable
and performant way of doing things, at least for now.
Instead of adding another opaque bool argument, this defines an
`ElementFilter` enum, which makes calls more readable.
Window surfaces are still included in screencopy, as needed for the
workspace previews.
`(w_elements, p_elements)` tuples are used in a bunch of places. A
struct with named fields is generally an improvement just due to the
fact the order is non-obvious.
But we can also add methods. In particular,
`extend_from_workspace_elements` abstracts out some of the more
redundant code in `workspace_elements`.
It would be nice to avoid allocation everywhere, but iterators would
complicate lifetimes, run into issues with needing multiple mutable
borrows to things like the `Renderer`, and be awkward in certain
functions without generator syntax. In any case, cosmic-comp already
relies on allocating vectors here.
If this abstraction is commonly useful in compositors, perhaps it could
be moved to Smithay.
