[PATCH 2/3] client: Add wl_display_soft_flush()

Lloyd Pique lpique at google.com
Sat Sep 8 01:14:04 UTC 2018


This allows a client to occasionally flush the output buffers in the
middle of making a large number of calls which fill them.

A soft flush differs from a normal flush in that the buffer is not
flushed if it is not full enough. The current criteria set is the buffer
being half full.

This does not completely replace the need to call wl_display_flush(),
which ensures all the output is actually sent. However the client can
make this call to properly handle any send errors that might occur.

Includes a test to make sure that it can be used in a situation where a
flush is needed and would return an EAGAIN, which would normally
set a fatal display error if the core-client tried to do an internal
flush if the output buffer became completely full.
