[PATCH weston v3 14/36] libweston: new head-based output management API

Tue Oct 31 11:48:24 UTC 2017


From: Pekka Paalanen <pekka.paalanen at collabora.co.uk>

Introduce the API for users (compositors) to create an output from a
head, attach and detach heads, and destroy outputs created this way.
This also adds the backend-facing API to libweston.

In the new API design, a backend creates heads, and the compositor
chooses one or more heads (clone mode) to be driven by an output.
In the future backends will be converted to not create outputs directly
but only in the new create_output hook.

The user subscribes to a heads_changed hook and arranges heads into
outputs from there.

Adding the API this way will allow frontends (main.c) and backends to be
converted one by one. This adds compatiblity paths in
weston_compositor_create_output_with_head() and weston_output_destroy()
so that frontends can be converted first to call these, and then
backends can be converted one by one to the new design. Afterwards, the
compatibility paths will be removed along with weston_output::head.

Currently heads can be added to a disabled output only. This is less
than ideal for clone mode hotplug and should be improved on later.
