One of the major issues with the old tracking code is a data race
between the cursor thread updating g_cursor.guest and the
app_handleMouseBasic function. Specifically, the latter may have
sent mouse input via spice that has not been processed by the guest
and updated g_cursor.guest, but the guest may overwrite g_cursor.guest
to a previous state before the input is processed. This causes some
movements to be doubled. Eventually, the cursor positions will
synchronize, but this nevertheless causes a lot of jitter.
In this commit, we introduce a new field g_cursor.projected, which
is unambiguously the position of the cursor after taking into account
all the input already sent via spice. This is synced up to the guest
cursor upon entering the window and when the host restarts. Afterwards,
all mouse movements will be based on this position. This eliminates
all cursor jitter as far as I could tell.
Also, the cursor is now synced to the host position when exiting
capture mode.
A downside of this commit is that if the 1:1 movement patch is not
correctly applied, the cursor position would be wildly off instead
of simply jittering, but that is an unsupported configuration and
should not matter.
Also unsupported is when an application in guest moves the cursor
programmatically and bypassing spice. When using those applications,
capture mode must be on. Before this commit, we try to move the guest
cursor back to where it should be, but it's inherently fragile and
may lead to scenarios such as wild movements in first-person shooters.
Using a macro ENABLE_OPENGL just like ENABLE_EGL to optionally remove
OpenGL implementation code. This is mostly because on Wayland it's just
a rehash of the EGL code (as EGL is the only way to create OpenGL
contexts on Wayland).
As the window manager may change our mode to full screen without our
request we must ask the ds backend for the current state when we want to
toggle the mode.
When input:grabKeyboardOnFocus=no, exiting capture mode should ungrab
the keyboard. Otherwise, focusing the window doesn't grab the keyboard,
but toggling capture mode would leave the keyboard stuck in a grabbed
state until defocused.
While a compositor will never send us 0-delta motion events, they can
still end up as 0-deltas post-projection, consuming QEMU buffer space
for no reason.
This should help with mouse skipping issues.
If the renderer fails to start it sets the run state to stopped, having
lgInit where it was causes this to be reset to running triggering
invalid usage of g_state.lgmp.
Under some circumstances, Looking Glass can hang when SIGINT'd, for
instance, if it's stuck waiting on spice I/O that won't complete because
the guest is misbehaving.
This commit provides an escape hatch for such cases, so one doesn't have
to reach for `kill -9 $(pidof looking-glass-client)`.
It does not make sense to accumulate fractional error in non-capture mode
as you know exactly where the cursor is supposed to be, at least on Wayland.
On Wayland, we base movements on the current guest position and desired
target position, and the accumulated errors only skew our movements.
Build failed with _FORTIFY_SOURCE enabled because the compiler couldn't
ensure the switch statements didn't hit the default arm and thus wouldn't
define the variables. Adding a statically failing assert makes sure that
all code paths either define the variables or fail early.

When using the meta resize feautre the cursor is over the client window,
and as such the application continues to receive motion events. This
causes the window size to spaz out.
This is an ugly hack for now that will get us over the line for Beta 3,
after which will need to be addressed and people will need to be
informed that their configured escape key will have changed.
If the guest has it's output rotated (ie, landscape) we must rotate and
translate the pointer draw location, as well as all the translations of
cursor coordinate spaces based on the rotation, along with any local
rotations that may also be applied.
Unless the corresponding mouse down event was on our surface, we should
not be receiving the mouse up.
This is always the case on Wayland. On some other platforms,
SDL_CaptureMouse can be used to obtain input that happens outside the
Looking Glass surface, but Looking Glass does not make use of that
function.
We may want to process a mouse up if the corresponding mouse down
initiated a drag (e.g., of a window) that was released slightly outside
of the Looking Glass surface. Previously, Looking Glass would ignore the
mouse up, and the guest would be confused into thinking the button had
never been released, not ending the drag.
We are actually getting mouse events directly from Wayland instead of going
through SDL, so we call app_updateCursorPos in pointer motion handlers and
swallow the SDL event.
Also removed parameters for app_handleMouseBasic as it relies exclusively on
absolute positions provided by app_updateCursorPos. Wayland does not give
you relative movements at all unless grabbed and passing absolute movements
is semantically incorrect.
Note that when the cursor is grabbed, movements are handled entirely through
relativePointerMotionHandler in wayland.c and does not go through
app_handleMouseBasic at all.
If the guest cursor state & position is unknown we can not rely on the
information to detect edge crossings. As such only allow cursor input if
LG is operating in capture mode.
Platforms such as Wayland have no abillity to warp the cursor, as such
can not operate in an always relative mode. This property allows
platforms to report the lack of warp support and prevent LG from
grabbing the pointer.
Some platforms such as Wayland need to set environment vairables before
SDL is initialized, as such this change detects the display server
before SDL has started and calls the new `earlyInit` method providing
the implementation an opportunity to set things up.
When capture mode is set if the cursor is not already in the view area
we need to force it to the state it would be if it were in view as
capture mode overrides all.
The pointer may not yet be in the view area so we should defer drawing
it until the mouse move handler determines that it's inside the view
area and turn it on itself.
