[Wayland1.5]Question about wl_shell_get_shell_surface

[Yang Andy]

Hi Mr.Manuel,Mr.Pekka,

Thank you 
for your reply.
 
I have further 
investigated my log and find that IPC/communication bewteen Wayland-client(application) and wayland-server(weston) 
consume 800ms
 
wayland-client/application call  wl_shell_get_shell_surface,it takes 800ms until reference 
methol(shell_get_shell_surface) be called on the wayland-server 
side.
 
In my 
opinion,Wayland-client just use socket to 
communicate with wayland-server,why does it consume 
800ms?
Best regards,

Andy

Hi Andy, Pekka,

I think the question is more about the ICO Homescreen  ("ico-uxf-homescreen" package under Tizen IVI) which is an extension for the Weston ivi-shell. ICO itself is outside of the scope of the Wayland project.


Here is what I know (I am not an ICO developer, so if you are, feel free to correct me) :

ICO was developed at a time where IVI-Shell was not finalized nor upstreamed, and there was litlle support for it in Wayland client applications. Instead, these apps supported the standard "wl_shell" inteface.

So, in order to display these apps on screen, it had a hack which reimplemented some of the "wl_shell"  calls they used.

Here is a ICO source file which contains reference to wl_shell, e.g. 
https://review.tizen.org/git/?p=profile/ivi/ico-uxf-weston-plugin.git;a=blob;f=src/ico_window_mgr.c


About the reasons why it may be slow, or other problems, I don't have a clue though

Hope it helps.

Regards,
Manuel Bachmann

I have no idea what you are doing, but ivi-shell does not implement

wl_shell at all. There is no global advertised with the name

"wl_shell", which you can see with e.g. weston-info. Therefore a call to

wl_shell_get_shell_surface() should lead to a crash, abort, or a fatal

protocol error.



wl_shell protocol does not make sense in an IVI environment.





Thanks,

pq
