Some events, such as the display.delete_id, aren't very urgent and we
would like to not always send them immdiately and cause an unnecessary
context switch. The wl_resource_queue_event() function will place the
event in the connection output buffer but not request the main loop to
poll for writable. The effect is that the event will just sit in the
output buffer until a more important event comes around and requires
flushing.
We need to make sure the client doesn't reuse an object ID until the
server has seen the destroy request. When a client destroys an ID
the server will now respond with the display.delete_id event, which lets
the client block reuse until it receives the event.
Instead of artificially introducing collisions in the step value by
replacing 0 with 1 (which causes the value 1 to have twice the
frequency of any other value), the step value can simply be computed
as an uniformly distributed value in the range [1, rehash], extremes
included.
This is safe because any step value smaller than the hash modulus is
co-prime with it, hence induces an orbit which includes every integer
in [0, size - 1].
When the last idle handler queues another idle handler, we fail to
dispatch that last handler. The wl_list_for_each_safe loop looks up
the next pointer before running the handler, and at that point it points
to the head of the list and the loop terminates.
Instead, just loop until the list is empty.
We no long track the focused surface, but expect the compositor to set
focus when the focus changes. We do track the resource for the input
device that corresponds to the current surface, in case that goes away.
The visual interface was meant to be a generic mechanism for
specifying the content of a buffer. It goes back to before we had the
buffer factory interfaces (like wl_drm and wl_shm) and we wanted to
keep it open-ended enough that yuv, png or even svg buffer or so would
be possible.
Now that we have the buffer abstraction, we can add different buffer
types by introducing new interfaces that create buffers. It only
makes sense to leave it to those interfaces to specify the contents of
the buffers.
For wl_shm, this means that we now just specify the pixel format using
an enum. For EGL buffers, the exact pixel formats are controlled by
the implementation (part of wl_drm and similar), and from the client
point of view, everything is controlled using EGLConfigs.
So obvious in retrospect. The object system can do all the work for us
and keep track of pending calls as regular objects and we don't need to
abuse the resource system to get them cleaned up on client exit. We
don't need the custom key management or (broken) lookup, we just sue
object IDs. And last but not least, anybody can receive the callback,
not just display listeners.
