New to Wayland, Need suggestion on a starting point

[Srivardhan]

Thanks pq, Jason. This was very helpful. 

 

Hi pq,

 

The Wayland protocol dumper is interesting. Pardon me if am asking stupid questions. I was wondering how I could implement it. I compiled Weston on my Ubuntu 21.04 and executed it. Below are my understanding, correct me if am wrong.

 

1.       Weston uses the functions in the libwayland-server and libwayland-client and creates a compositor and client.

2.       All the Wayland library functions which are used to create compositor is in src/wayland-server.c and all the Wayland library functions which are used to create client is in src/wayland-client.c

3.       In both wayland-server.c and wayland-client.c wl_clorsure_print() is used to print logs to stderr. The functions call wl_closure_print to print logs and then call socket functions to send the message.

 

By this understanding, what I was thinking was, in the src/connection.c, if we create a debug socket and then write the messages to it too. The wayland-trace program can listen to that socket and then print the logs. What do you think? 

 

Thank-you,

Hebbar

You could also go after this one:

It shouldn't be too bad if you just follow along with what's done for mouse support.
