Inner panics could make it hard to trouble shoot the issues and for some
users it's not desirable.
The inner panics were left only when they are used to `assert!` during
development.
This reverts commit 9f91bc413fe20618bd7090829832bb074aab15c3 which
reverted the original patch which was merged without a proper review.
Fixes: #500.

At the moment, the with_x11_visual function takes a pointer and
immediately dereferences it to get the visual info inside. As it is safe
to pass a null pointer to this function, it is unsound. This commit
replaces the pointer parameter with a visual ID, and then uses that ID
to look up the actual visual under
the X11 setup. As this is what was already practically happening before,
this change shouldn't cause any performance downgrades.
This is a breaking change, but it's done in the name of soundness so it
should be okay. It should be trivial for end users to accommodate it,
as it's just a matter of getting the visual ID from the pointer to the
visual before passing it in.

Mark it as breaking, since some clients relied on that behavior, simply
because dispatching clients queue always woke up a winit, meaning that
they won't be able to use user events for this sake.
Nothing changed from the user point of view, other than they should
use the `raw-window-handle`, which is objectively better, given that
it reduces the amount of `cfg` guards in downstream code.
#2662 renamed `VirtualKeyCode` to `Key` yet references to the former
type still exist in `src/platform_impl/linux/x11/events.rs`. As it
turns out the `mod events;` in `x11/mod.rs` was removed in the same PR,
but the file accidentally stuck around without being referenced anywhere
else.
Lifetimes don't work nicely when dealing with multithreaded environments
in the current design of the existing winit's event handling model, so
remove it in favor of `InnerSizeWriter` fences passed to client, so they
could try to update the size.
Fixes#1387.
The idea that redraw events are dispatched with a specific ordering
that makes it possible to specifically report when we have finished
dispatching redraw events isn't portable and the way in which we
dispatched RedrawEventsCleared was inconsistent across backends.
More generally speaking, there is no inherent relationship between
redrawing and event loop iterations. An event loop may wake up at any
frequency depending on what sources of input events are being listened
to but redrawing is generally throttled and in some way synchronized
with the display frequency.
Similarly there's no inherent relationship between a single event loop
iteration and the dispatching of any specific kind of "main" event.
An event loop wakes up when there are events to read (e.g. input
events or responses from a display server / compositor) and goes back
to waiting when there's nothing else to read.
There isn't really a special kind of "main" event that is dispatched
in order with respect to other events.
What we can do more portably is emit an event when the event loop
is about to block and wait for new events.
In practice this is very similar to how MainEventsCleared was
implemented except it wasn't the very last event previously since
redraw events could be dispatched afterwards.
The main backend where we don't strictly know when we're going to
wait for events is Web (since the real event loop is internal to
the browser). For now we emulate AboutToWait on Web similar to how
MainEventsCleared was dispatched.
In practice most applications almost certainly shouldn't care about
AboutToWait because the frequency of event loop iterations is
essentially arbitrary and usually irrelevant.
Considering the possibility of re-running an event loop via run_ondemand
then it's more correct to say that the loop is about to exit without
assuming it's going to be destroyed.
This renames all internal implementations of pump_events_with_timeout
to pump_events and makes them public.
Since all platforms that support pump_events support timeouts there's
no need to have a separate API.
Although we document that applications can't keep windows between
separate run_ondemand calls it's possible that the application has only
just dropped their windows and we need to flush these requests to the
server/compositor.
This fixes the window_ondemand example - by ensuring the window from
the first loop really is destroyed before waiting for 5 seconds
and starting the second loop.
This re-works the portable `run()` API that consumes the `EventLoop` and
runs the loop on the calling thread until the app exits.
This can be supported across _all_ platforms and compared to the
previous `run() -> !` API is now able to return a `Result` status on all
platforms except iOS and Web. Fixes: #2709
By moving away from `run() -> !` we stop calling `std::process::exit()`
internally as a means to kill the process without returning which means
it's possible to return an exit status and applications can return from
their `main()` function normally.
This also fixes Android support where an Activity runs in a thread but
we can't assume to have full ownership of the process (other services
could be running in separate threads).
Additionally all examples have generally been updated so that `main()`
returns a `Result` from `run()`
Fixes: #2709
Wayland:
I found the calloop abstraction a little awkward to work with while I was
trying to understand why there was surprising workaround code in the wayland
backend for manually dispatching pending events.
Investigating this further it looks like there may currently be several issues
with the calloop WaylandSource (with how prepare_read is used and with (not)
flushing writes before polling)
Considering the current minimal needs for polling in all winit backends I do
personally tend to think it would be simpler to just own the responsibility for
polling more directly, so the logic for wayland-client `prepare_read` wouldn't
be in a separate crate (and in this current situation would also be easier to fix)
I've tried to maintain the status quo with calloop + workarounds.
X11:
I found that the recent changes (4ac2006cbc) to port the X11 backend
from mio to calloop lost the ability to check for pending events before
needing to poll/dispatch. (The `has_pending` state being queried
before dispatching() was based on state that was filled in during
dispatching)
As part of the rebase this re-introduces the PeekableReceiver and
WakeSender which are small utilities on top of
`std::sync::mpsc::channel()`. This adds a calloop `PingSource`
so we can use a `Ping` as a generic event loop waker.
For taking into account false positive wake ups the X11 source now
tracks when the file descriptor is readable so after we poll via
calloop we can then specifically check if there are new X11 events
or pending redraw/user events when deciding whether to skip the
event loop iteration.
Unfortunately this isn't a total removal, for two reasons:
- We still need "libc" for the Xlib XIM implementation, for locales.
- BSD requires libc to check for main-threadedness.
First one we can likely resolve in the near future, not so sure about
the second one without using some weird pthreads trick.
The utils in this module should help the users to activate the windows
they create, as well as manage activation tokens environment variables.
The API is essential for Wayland in the first place, since some
compositors may decide initial focus of the window based on whether
the activation token was during the window creation.
Fixes#2279.

It was discovered that on GNOME the click sometimes being swallowed
by the mutter's `wl_pointer::enter/leave` sequences. This was happening
due to `xdg_toplevel::move` making the pointer to leave the surface.
To make handling of that more robust, we could start the
`xdg_toplevel::move` when the actual pointer motion is being performed.

Some systems could resize the window immediately and we'd rather
inform the users right away if that was the case, so they could
create e.g. EGLSurface without waiting for resize, which is really
important for Wayland.
Fixes#2868.
Instead of a single `bool` indicating that a key press has occured and
no key has been released since then, we store the scancode of the last
pressed key (if it is a key that repeats when held). This fixes a bug
where pressing a new key while one is already held down will be flagged
as a repeat even though it is obviously not a repeat.
The change to xinput2 completely disabled IME support, thus we've got
a dead keys reporting, because nothing was eating the key events
anymore, however that's not what we really need, given that not
working IME makes it impossible for some users to type.
The proper solution is to not use Xlib at all for that and rely on
xcb and its tooling around the XIM and text compose stuff, so
we'll have full control over what is getting sent to the XIM/IC or not.
Fixes#2888.
During the migration some logic wrt `none` decorations was lost along
the way, however we also now try to ask for client side decorations if
the user wants to disable server side decorations.
Fixes#2902.
Add named variants for physical back and forward keys which could
be found on some mice. The macOS bits may not work on all the
hardware given that apple doesn't directly support such a thing.

The use of `Filter` was confusing so it was removed inverting the
behavior of the enum and methods using it.

Overhaul the keyboard API in winit to mimic the W3C specification
to achieve better crossplatform parity. The `KeyboardInput` event
is now uses `KeyEvent` which consists of:
- `physical_key` - a cross platform way to refer to scancodes;
- `logical_key` - keysym value, which shows your key respecting the
layout;
- `text` - the text produced by this keypress;
- `location` - the location of the key on the keyboard;
- `repeat` - whether the key was produced by the repeat.
And also a `platform_specific` field which encapsulates extra
information on desktop platforms, like key without modifiers
and text with all modifiers.
The `Modifiers` were also slightly reworked as in, the information
whether the left or right modifier is pressed is now also exposed
on platforms where it could be queried reliably. The support was
also added for the web and orbital platforms finishing the API
change.
This change made the `OptionAsAlt` API on macOS redundant thus it
was removed all together.
