This patch moves the management of view IDs from the server to the
client side. The former 'create_view' and 'create_child_view'
operations do no longer return a view ID but take a view ID as
argument. While changing those operations, this patch takes the
opportunity to allow for initial view attributes. Combined, those
changes simplify the window manager while accommodating typical
client use cases with less code.
To ease the client-side ID management, the Gui::Connection hosts
a 'view_ids' ID space for optional use. E.g., the new 'Top_level_view'
class uses this ID space for ID allocation. This class accommodates the
most typical use case of opening a single window.
The 'alloc_view_id' RPC function is no longer needed.
Issue #5242
This patch eliminates the use of invalid view handles as special
Session::Command arguments. The TO_FRONT and TO_BACK operations
interpreted as invalid neighbor as top-most or back-most position.
Those corner cases are now expressed via dedicated commands. The
new stacking commands are FRONT, BACK, FRONT_OF, and BEHIND_OF.
While changing the command interface, the patch removes the OP_
prefix from the opcode values.

- Rename framebuffer_session to framebuffer and
input_session to input as those RPC interfaces are no longer
meant to be used as stand-alone sessions.
- Host Connection::input and Connection::framebuffer as public
members, thereby removing the use of pointers. This simplifies
the client-sized code. E.g., '_gui.input()->pending()' becomes
'_gui.input.pending()'.
Issue #5242
- Move header to base/include to make it applicable for base types
like 'Affinity' down the road.
- Represent 'Rect' as typle of point and area, which is the most
common form of initialization, creates in valid 'Rect' by default.
- Turn Point, Area, and Rect into compound types, making x, y, w, h, at,
area accessible without a method call
- 'Rect::Compound' function for constructing a 'Rect' from two points,
replacing a former constructor
- Use result type 'Rect::Cut_remainder' instead of out parameters.
Fixes#5239
This patch fixes a GCC-10 compile error. Even though the optimization
was quite effective - I measured a speedup of factor 2 - it is not all
that important for the overall application performance. In the nano3d
case, we are talking about 1 vs. 2 percent of CPU time.
Fixes#4140
The code fails to build with clang due to the following warning/error:
error: '_INCLUDE__NANO3D__SQRT_H_' is used as a header guard here,
followed by #define of a different macro [-Werror,-Wheader-guard]
Fix this by removing the extra underscore from this header guard
definition.
Issue #3985
Until now, Genode's framebuffer session interface was based on the
RGB565 pixel format. This patch changes the pixel format to 32-bit
XRGB where the X part is ignored. It adapts all graphical applications
and device drivers accordingly.
The patch also adjusts the users of the drivers_interactive packages,
assigning 64 MiB RAM and 1500 caps to the drivers subsystem, which is
sufficient for covering high resolutions at 32 bits per pixel and to
accommodate multi-component USB HID input stacks.
Fixes#3784
This enforces the use of unsigned 64-bit values for time in the duration type,
the timeout framework, the timer session, the userland timer-drivers, and the
alarm framework on all platforms. The commit also adapts the code that uses
these tools accross all basic repositories (base, base-*, os. gems, libports,
ports, dde_*) to use unsigned 64-bit values for time as well as far as this
does not imply profound modifications.
Fixes#3208
This commit enables compile-time warnings displayed whenever a deprecated
API header is included, and adjusts the existing #include directives
accordingly.
Issue #1987
Besides adapting the components to the use of base/log.h, the patch
cleans up a few base headers, i.e., it removes unused includes from
root/component.h, specifically base/heap.h and
ram_session/ram_session.h. Hence, components that relied on the implicit
inclusion of those headers have to manually include those headers now.
While adjusting the log messages, I repeatedly stumbled over the problem
that printing char * arguments is ambiguous. It is unclear whether to
print the argument as pointer or null-terminated string. To overcome
this problem, the patch introduces a new type 'Cstring' that allows the
caller to express that the argument should be handled as null-terminated
string. As a nice side effect, with this type in place, the optional len
argument of the 'String' class could be removed. Instead of supplying a
pair of (char const *, size_t), the constructor accepts a 'Cstring'.
This, in turn, clears the way let the 'String' constructor use the new
output mechanism to assemble a string from multiple arguments (and
thereby getting rid of snprintf within Genode in the near future).
To enforce the explicit resolution of the char * ambiguity, the 'char *'
overload of the 'print' function is marked as deleted.
Issue #1987
This patch adds two new painters located at gems/include/polygon_gfx.
Both painters draw convex polygons with an arbirary number of points.
The shaded-polygon painter interpolates the color and alpha values
whereas the textured-polygon painter applies a texture to the polygon.
The painters are accompanied by simplistic 3D routines located at
gems/include/nano3d/ and a corresponding example (gems/run/nano3d.run).
