This so called "enhanced" event logic is completely flawed and can never
work correctly, better to strip it out and put our faith in windows to
handle the events for us.
And yes, I am fully aware I wrote the utter trash in the first place :)
It has been detemined that a failure to init NvFBC causes a 20-30%
performance penalty on non NvFBC supported hardware (GeForce) when using
DXGI, as such reverse the order and default to using DXGI as our first
option.
If NvFBC is still desired, pr #500 added the option `app:capture` which
can be used to force NvFBC.
Since we now let the mouse hook linger until the process is killed, the
cursor event that the hook signals may now be null, as the capture could
have stopped. If the hook fires during this time, a crash occurs.
This commit introduces a new option, app:capture, which can be set to
either DXGI or NvFBC to force the host application to use that backend.
This is very useful for testing DXGI on Quadro cards, which would default
to running with NvFBC.
The mouse hook code is very fragile, and we would like to avoid unhooking
and re-hooking as much as possible.
After this commit, this is done only once, and the hook and 1x1 window is
only destroyed upon exit. This, of course, comes with the downside of
the slight performance penalty if the guest machine is used directly while
the host is running and the client is not running.
Moving NvFBCToSysSetup to nvfbc_init means that when the pointer thread
fails to be created, NvFBCToSysRelease needs to be called.
To resolve such cleanup issues in the future, we instead call nvfbc_deinit,
which should cleanup everything that needs to be cleaned up. fails.
When NvFBCToSysCapture reports recreation is required, we return
CAPTURE_RESULT_REINIT, which eventually calls nvfbc_deinit and then
nvfbc_init.
However, the NvFBC object is actually created in nvfbc_create, which
means the NvFBC object is never actually recreated. The result is an
endless cycle of NvFBC asking for recreation. This commonly manifests
as the client waiting endlessly for the host when the guest machine
reboots.
In this commit, the NvFBC object creation is moved into nvfbc_init,
and when recreation is required, it will actually be recreated.
mouseHook_install and dwmForceComposition both create threads, but these
are only freed in nvfbc_deinit which is not called if nvfbc_init fails.
These should be freed if the pointer thread fails to be created, as
nothing else could be cleaning it up.
This is because we keep track of the top-left corner of the cursor, not
the location of the hotspot. When the cursor shape changes, the hotspot
location may also change. When it does, the position of the top-left
corner changes and requires an update.
In the case that we do not have the current cursor position, which
happens on startup, we do not generate this update.
NvFBC is unable to capture certain applications that bypasses the DWM
compositor, for example, Firefox playing video in full screen. This
has been a known issue for a long time with Nvidia's ShadowPlay, see:

* https://crbug.com/609857
Nvidia won't fix this, but there are workarounds. For example, we
create a transparent 1x1 layered window, which forces desktop composition
to be enabled.
Note that SetLayeredWindowAttributes also supports alpha-based transparency,
but setting transparency to 0 will cause DWM to skip composition. We could
use a transparency of 1, but this ruins the image by the slightest bit,
which is unacceptable. Therefore, we must use chroma key-based
transparency, which tricks DWM into compositing despite being fully
transparent.
This makes it a compile-time error to call a function that semantically
takes no parameters with a nonzero number of arguments.
Previously, such code would still compile, but risk blowing up the stack
if a compiler chose to use something other than caller-cleanup calling
conventions.
This commit bumps the KVMFR protocol version as it adds additional
hotspot x & y fields to the KVMFRCursor struct. This corrects the issue
of invalid alignment of the local mouse when the shape has an offset
such as the 'I' beam.
