a reason for doing that is that you can just pack together targets into
a array and pass them to our helper, and the helper will just handle
them, so even module with eldbus codegen etc is now supported.
This also means that we are just passing the src object directly into
the shared_module call, which means the user of our helper can just pack
everything he needs into the src var and the helper does not need to
know about it.
now mdoule build files that fllow one pattern (the most common by far)
all JUSt list their souce files and nothing else. this really cuts
down on build size/complexity.
there are other patterns too (no icons at all) that i'll do next, then
we're down into "weird" land where i'll have to think of some more
interesting ways to deal with this.
so we';re missing installing desktop files. edj icon files, wizard
data files in the wrong place, and much more. this also cleans up the
module meson build of pretty much all modules and make their build
files cimple and consistent so it's far easier to re-use things from
one module to the next. we should aim for simplicity, consistency
between as much as possible so we can refactor and turn into maybe
functions later. imho that starts with consistency though. until i can
see all the common patterns clearly, i don't want to write functions
yet. it's easier to see if all the files are consistently using the
same vars and formatting etc. etc. etc.
but either way the installation needs fixing so it installs all files
in the right places with the right permissions etc. etc. etc.
this doesn't fix all module build files bt all the ones i found that
were broken installs and they use what i think is a cleaner/simpler
template, BUT there is far too much copy & pastage here... far too
much.i need to find a cleaner way to automate this.
So yeah, I've literally used sed to replace every occurrence of
ecore_time_add() with ecore_timer_loop_add() because I'm reasonably
confident that no part of E has a legitimate need for timer based on the
exact current time.
It would be really nice if I'm not wrong. :)
The reason for this is the incredible spew of clock_gettime() calls I'm
seeing on an ARM system (that should have a vdso for gettime, but...)
This can amount to thousands of system calls per second.
#YOLO
now they can be trule async hopefully stopping things like application
menu from stalling while loading icons header... which is really nasty
with svg's. this actually makes icons async by default which is really
EXACTLY what you want. this also prepares for later making edje loads
async.
@feature
this also should apply to calculating height correctly given a known
width - ie horiz or vert taskbar in a shelf. without this you can't
calc min size correctly from the theme.
@fix
this makes tasks behave like you'd expect with a stack - only show the
top one and track properly. tasks was simple and easiest to do first
as it has little fluff other than the tasks logic itself. other
elements of e next...
instead of adding specific handling which will work (sometimes) in one specific case, expand already-existing api to provide the needed functionality for iconify animations. now on emitting any signal to a comp object, optional glob-able effect providers can be hooked and prioritized to add effect animations
also use animating flags now when applying an object effect
a base effect is provided in elementary, but now each module which wants to hook iconify animations (or other events) can do so in the theme and have different animations with their module
huge fustercluck commit because there wasn't really a way to separate out the changes. better to just rip it all out at once.
* compositor and window management completely rewritten. this was the goal for E19, but it pretty much required everything existing to be scrapped since it wasn't optimized, streamlined, or sensible. now instead of having the compositor strapped to the window manager like an outboard motor, it's housed more like an automobile engine.
** various comp structs have been merged into other places (eg. E_Comp_Zone is now just part of E_Zone where applicable), leading to a large deduplication of attributes
** awful E_Comp_Win is totally dead, having been replaced with e_comp_object smart objects which work just like normal canvas objects
** protocol-specific window management and compositor functionality is now kept exclusively in backend files
** e_pixmap api provides generic client finding and rendering api
** screen/xinerama screens are now provided directly by compositor on startup and re-set on change
** e_comp_render_update finally replaced with eina_tiler
** wayland compositor no longer creates X windows
** compositor e_layout removed entirely
* e_container is gone. this was made unnecessary in E18, but I kept it to avoid having too much code churn in one release. its sole purpose was to catch some events and handle window stacking, both of which are now just done by the compositor infra
* e_manager is just for screensaver and keybind stuff now, possibly remove later?
* e_border is gone along with a lot of its api. e_client has replaced it, and e_client has been rewritten completely; some parts may be similar, but the design now relies upon having a functional compositor
** window configuration/focus functions are all removed. all windows are now managed solely with evas_object_X functions on the "frame" member of a client, just as any other canvas object can be managed.
*** do NOT set interceptors on a client's comp_object. seriously.
* startup order rewritten: compositor now starts much earlier, other things just use attrs and members of the compositor
* ecore_x_pointer_xy_get usage replaced with ecore_evas_pointer_xy_get
* e_popup is totally gone, existing usage replaced by e_comp_object_util_add where applicable, otherwise just placed normally on the canvas
* deskmirror is (more) broken for now
* illume is totally fucked
* Ecore_X_Window replaced with Ecore_Window in most cases
* edge binding XWindows replaced with regular canvas objects
* some E_Win functionality has changed such that delete callbacks are now correctly called in ALL cases. various dialogs have been updated to not crash as a result
comp files and descriptions:
e_comp.c - overall compositor functions, rendering/update loop, shape cutting
e_comp_x.c - X window management and compositor functionality
e_comp_wl.c - Wayland surface management and compositor functionality
e_comp_canvas.c - general compositor canvas functions and utilities
e_comp_object.c - E_Client->frame member for managing clients as Evas_Objects, utility functions for adding objects to the compositor rendering systems
additional authors: ivan.briano@intel.com
feature: new compositor
removal: e_border, e_container, e_popup
* border frame/object now drawn directly on compositor canvas
* border shadows now in border theme with edje hint, non-updated themes still receive comp object shadows FOR NOW
* e_border MOVE/RESIZE pointer mode defines are now e_pointer.h enums
* added BD_CHANGED() util macro for setting bd->changed and printing a debug line to assist in finding places where this all-important flag is wrongly set
* bd->bg_win removed entirely
* bd->pointer objects moved to compositor object; now only one pointer object exists for each compositor
* resizing windows now shows a new and totally-intended scaling effect for window contents
* some additional retooling of border deletion/free callbacks
* fixed lurking potential bug where window could recieve focus from autoraise timer after border had been deleted
* more comp shape improvements/rewrites
* desk transitions are now BROKEN(ish)
* various modules updated to not be totally broken with these changes
