It's better to use DT_RPATH dynamic section of the elf binary to store
the paths of libraries to load instead of overwriting LD_LIBRARY_PATH
for the whole environment, causing surprises. This solution is much more
transparent and perfectly suitable for running contained installations
of wayland/wlroots/sway.
The code unsetting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH/LD_PRELOAD was also deleted as
it's a placebo security at best - we should trust the execution path
that leads us to running sway, and it's way too late to care about those
variables since we already started executing our compositor, thus we
would be compromised anyway.
This commit changes the meaning of sway_container so that it only refers
to layout containers and view containers. Workspaces, outputs and the
root are no longer known as containers. Instead, root, outputs,
workspaces and containers are all a type of node, and containers come in
two types: layout containers and view containers.
In addition to the above, this implements type safe variables. This
means we use specific types such as sway_output and sway_workspace
instead of generic containers or nodes. However, it's worth noting that
in a few places places (eg. seat focus and transactions) referring to
them in a generic way is unavoidable which is why we still use nodes in
some places.
If you want a TL;DR, look at node.h, as well as the struct definitions
for root, output, workspace and container. Note that sway_output now
contains a workspaces list, and workspaces now contain a tiling and
floating list, and containers now contain a pointer back to the
workspace.
There are now functions for seat_get_focused_workspace and
seat_get_focused_container. The latter will return NULL if a workspace
itself is focused. Most other seat functions like seat_get_focus and
seat_set_focus now accept and return nodes.
In the config->handler_context struct, current_container has been
replaced with three pointers: node, container and workspace. node is the
same as what current_container was, while workspace is the workspace
that the node resides on and container is the actual container, which
may be NULL if a workspace itself is focused.
The global root_container variable has been replaced with one simply
called root, which is a pointer to the sway_root instance.
The way outputs are created, enabled, disabled and destroyed has
changed. Previously we'd wrap the sway_output in a container when it is
enabled, but as we don't have containers any more it needs a different
approach. The output_create and output_destroy functions previously
created/destroyed the container, but now they create/destroy the
sway_output. There is a new function output_disable to disable an output
without destroying it.
Containers have a new view property. If this is populated then the
container is a view container, otherwise it's a layout container. Like
before, this property is immutable for the life of the container.
Containers have both a `sway_container *parent` and
`sway_workspace *workspace`. As we use specific types now, parent cannot
point to a workspace so it'll be NULL for containers which are direct
children of the workspace. The workspace property is set for all
containers, except those which are hidden in the scratchpad as they have
no workspace.
In some cases we need to refer to workspaces in a container-like way.
For example, workspaces have layout and children, but when using
specific types this makes it difficult. Likewise, it's difficult for a
container to get its parent's layout when the parent could be another
container or a workspace. To make it easier, some helper functions have
been created: container_parent_layout and container_get_siblings.
container_remove_child has been renamed to container_detach and
container_replace_child has been renamed to container_replace.
`container_handle_fullscreen_reparent(con, old_parent)` has had the
old_parent removed. We now unfullscreen the workspace when detaching the
container, so this function is simplified and only needs one argument
now.
container_notify_subtree_changed has been renamed to
container_update_representation. This is more descriptive of its
purpose. I also wanted to be able to call it with whatever container was
changed rather than the container's parent, which makes bubbling up to
the workspace easier.
There are now state structs per node thing. ie. sway_output_state,
sway_workspace_state and sway_container_state.
The focus, move and layout commands have been completely refactored to
work with the specific types. I considered making these a separate PR,
but I'd be backporting my changes only to replace them again, and it's
easier just to test everything at once.
When we have type safety we'll need to have functions for
workspace_add_tiling and so on. This means the existing container
functions will be just for containers, so they are being moved to
container.c. At this point layout.c doesn't contain much else, so I've
relocated everything and removed the file.
* container_swap and its static functions have been moved to the swap
command and made static.
* container_recursive_resize has been moved to the resize command and
made static.
* The following have been moved to container.c:
* container_handle_fullscreen_reparent
* container_insert_child
* container_add_sibling
* container_add_child
* container_remove_child
* container_replace_child
* container_split
* enum movement_direction and sway_dir_to_wlr have been moved to util.c.
Side note: Several commands included layout.h which then included
root.h. With layout.h gone, root.h has to be included by those commands.
This creates a root.c and moves bits and pieces from elsewhere into it.
* layout_init has been renamed to root_create and moved into root.c
* root_destroy has been created and is called on shutdown
* scratchpad code has been moved into root.c, because hidden scratchpad
containers are stored in the root struct
Implements the following commands:
* move scratchpad
* scratchpad show
* [criteria] scratchpad show
Also fixes these:
* Fix memory leak when executing command with criteria
(use `list_free(views)` instead of `free(views)`)
* Fix crash when running `move to` with no further arguments
This implements the following:
* `floating_modifier` configuration directive
* Drag a floating window by its title bar
* Hold mod + drag a floating window from anywhere
* Resize a floating view by dragging the border
* Resize a floating view by holding mod and right clicking anywhere on
the view
* Resize a floating view and keep aspect ratio by holding shift while
resizing using either method
* Mouse cursor turns into resize when hovering floating border or corner
The directive sets the timeout before an urgent view becomes normal
again after switching to it from another workspace.
Also:
* When an xwayland surface removes the urgent hint while the timer is
active, we now ignore the request. This happens as soon as the view
receives focus, so it was effectively making the timer pointless.
* The timeout is now only applied when switching to it from another
workspace.
Introduces a command to manually set urgency, as well as rendering of
urgent views, sending the IPC event, removing urgency after focused for
one second, and matching urgent views via criteria.
This commit introduces a scroll_button option, which is intended to be
used with scroll_method. Now user can edit his sway config and add an
scroll_button option to device section.
This implements the title_format command, with a new placeholder %shell
which gets substituted with the view type (xwayland, xdg_shell_v6 or
wl_shell).
Example config:
for_window [title=".*"] title_format %title (class=%class instance=%instance shell=%shell)
Implements rendering of borders. Title text is still to do.
Implements the following configuration directives:
* client.focused
* client.focused_inactive
* client.unfocused
* client.urgent
* border
* default_border
Replaces arrange_windows() with arrange_root(), arrange_output(),
arrange_workspace() and arrange_children_of().
Also makes fullscreen views save and restore their dimensions, which
allows it to preserve any custom resize and is also a requirement for
floating views once they are implemented.
