There used to be a possible race when a bunch of rectangle is appended, but
the total count is not updated before it's read. Using a lock eliminates
all such races.
Without configuring Wayland compositors to send frame callbacks as late as
possible, JIT rendering can increase latency by more than one frame.
For example, by default, sway asks applications to render right after a
vblank, and does its own composition right after a vblank, resulting in
~2 frame's worth of latency. If max_render_time is set on the output,
it composes that many milliseconds before the vblank, losing ~1 frame's
worth of latency. If max_render_time is set on the window also, the frame
callback is sent that many milliseconds before composition, and we achieve
perfectly low latency.
Therefore, out of the box, JIT rendering should not be enabled, as manual
compositor configuration is required for optimal results.
For reference, the following sway settings results in the best latency:
output <insert output name> max_render_time 1
for_window [app_id="looking-glass-client"] max_render_time 1
This reverts commit 3baed05728.
If we invalidate the window, we used to not update this->cursorLast, and
this causes us to lose track of the cursor. Now we update this->cursorLast
unconditionally, and this fixes the issue.
Version 3 does not send xdg_output.done events, instead guaranteeing that
all xdg_output.* events are sent before wl_output.done. This saves us from
doing the work twice.
The method used is not guaranteed to work on all Wayland compositors,
so offer a way out. We need to support it anyways in case xdg_output
or wp_viewporter protocols are not available.
Currently, we scale the desktop up to the next largest integer, and rely on
the wayland compositor to scale it back down to the correct size.
This is obviously undesirable.
In this commit, we attempt to detect the actual fractional scaling by finding
the current active mode in wl_output, and dividing it by the logical screen
size reported by xdg_output, taking into consideration screen rotation.
We then use wp_viewporter to set the exact buffer and viewport sizes if
fractional scaling is needed.
When requested, JIT render mode will be used if the display server supports it.
Otherwise, a warning is generated instead.
This essentially uses the signalNextFrame logic for imgui, but for everything.
We automatically enable this mode when overlay is on.
Currently, this exposes some damage tracking bugs in the EGL renderer.
This prevents damage from being overwritten when frames are received
faster than could be rendered.
This implementation cycles between two queues, removing all need for
memory allocation.
This method takes an LGEvent and signals it when the next frame should be
rendered in time for the next vblank.
We will be using this to render imgui at screen refresh rate, but this could
potentially be used later to implement a better form of vsync for supported
display servers.
This must be invoked before swapping buffers.
The imgui overlay requires input even if the display is not captured and
operating in raw mode. XInput2 correctly only sends
XI_Press/ReleaseButton events if the device has not been captured, as
such it's safe to handle both raw and non raw buttons events at the same
time.
We look for the client config in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/looking-glass/client.ini.
This is done because it's more conventional, and also allows us to add
additional configuration files, e.g. for the host.
We fallback to $HOME/.config as is standard, and then as a last resort use
getpwuid(getuid())->pw_dir. This is also recommended by the getpwuid manpage:
> An application that wants to determine its user's home directory should
> inspect the value of HOME (rather than the value getpwuid(getuid())->pw_dir)
> since this allows the user to modify their notion of "the home directory"
> during a login session.
Currently, we load /etc/looking-glass-client.ini and/or
~/.config/looking-glass-client.ini as long as they exist, even if they are
not files. We should only load them if they are files.
We don't want to encourage craziness of people making the client suid to
bypass permission issues on the shm file.
Note: I see no evidence of this happening in the wild, but let's be
proactive.
The refresh-copyright script now automatically updates the copyright string
embedded in config.c. In order to achieve this, refresh-copyright gained the
ability to reflow text as the situation needs.
We now give ImGui the true logical size of the window and tell it to scale
the framebuffer. To fix the blurry fonts, we continue to load fonts at the
scale necessary for the DPI and use FontGlobalScale to shrink the fonts back
to the logical size. The font rectangle is then expanded by the framebuffer
scaling, resulting in good text rendering.
This method has the advantage of not messing up the sizes of resizable
overlays when moving across monitors.
The default of [0, 50] makes sense for FPS/UPS graphs, but does not for
things like the import graph. The latter should not take more than 5 ms
for sure.
This commit allows the min/max y-axis value to be specified when registering
the graph.
Now that we are drawing with damage rects, when the window is hidden and
then exposed the window may not get fully redrawn. This provides
`app_invalidateWindow` for the display server backend to call when the
screen needs a full redraw.
When a new client connects to our session the host will repeat the last
valid frame for the new client. This change will detect this and skip
the duplicated frame.
This is necessary in case overlays change size. When this happens, we must
damage the larger of the overlays' rectangles this frame and last frame.
This erases the overlay from where it is no longer appears.
In order to do this, we must keep track of the rectangles for every overlay
with no exception. We cannot short-circuit the generation of rectangles if
we run out of buffer space, and we must allocate space for MAX_OVERLAY_RECTS
rectangles for every frame. Otherwise, we will not know where to erase the
overlay if it disappears.
