[PATCH weston v3 00/13] Sub-surfaces v3

Hi all,

this is the v3 of the sub-surfaces patch series, and it is no longer
an RFC. This means that I consider this series ready for merging into
Weston. The server side sub-surface protocol implementation is feature
complete. Once the protocol is deemed stable, we will move it into
Wayland core. Until then, you need to copy protocol/subsurface.xml if
you want to use it in other projects.

The previous series, v2, was announced in
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/wayland-devel/2013-February/007590.html
Personally, I believe that all the previously open issues are now
sufficiently explored, that there should not be any big surprises.

The major changes in v3 are:

- Improved protocol object destruction rules: wl_subsurface simply
  becomes inert, if the corresponding wl_surface is destroyed.

- Added support for nested sub-surfaces. You can now have
  sub-sub-surfaces, and so on.

- Renamed the commit modes, and adjusted their behaviour to support
  nested sub-surfaces better. If a sub-surface is synchronized, all
  its children will act synchronized, too.

- Completed the server side protocol implementation with sub-surface
  nesting support, and double-buffered sub-surface z-order updates.

And of course bug fixes, and a rebase on top of the current upstream
master branch.

This patch series applies on top of the current upstream master branch
without any additional patches. The series is browsable in cgit:
http://cgit.collabora.com/git/user/pq/weston.git/log/?h=subsurface-v3

To do (free to take, not necessarily me):

- A Weston demo client with window decorations stitched from 4
  sub-surfaces, handling input in all sub-surface. (Giulio already has
  an example in Qt.)

- Nested sub-surface tests and a demo. Nesting is currently untested.

- Fix full-surface alpha for windows that have sub-surfaces.

- Investigate if the shell "black surfaces" could be implemented as
  server-side sub-surfaces more easily than they are now.

I have not forgotten about the clipping & scaling protocol extension,
and I have some ideas for it, but it is free for taking, too. If
you're interested in taking a shot at any of these items, let me know
so we can avoid overlapping work.

When you build this series, remember --with-cairo-glesv2, or the
subsurfaces demo application may not get built.


Thanks,
pq
