This crate is a general framework for build wayland compositors. It currently focuses on low-level, //! helpers and abstractions, handling most of the system-level and wayland protocol interactions. //! The window management and drawing logic is however at the time not provided (but helpers for this //! are planned for future version). //! //! ## Structure of the crate //! //! The provided helpers are split into two main modules. [`backend`] contains helpers for interacting with //! the operating system, such as session management, interactions with the graphic stack and input //! processing. On the other hand, [`wayland`] contains helpers for interacting with wayland clients //! according to the wayland protocol. In addition, the [`xwayland`] module contains helpers for managing //! an XWayland instance if you want to support it. See the documentation of these respective modules for //! information about their usage. //! //! ## General principles for using Smithay //! //! ### The event loop and state handling //! //! Smithay is built around [`calloop`], a callback-oriented event loop, which fits naturally with the //! general behavior of a wayland compositor: waiting for events to occur and react to them (be it //! client requests, user input, or hardware events such as `vblank`). //! //! Using a callback-heavy structure however poses the question of state management: a lot of state needs //! to be accessed from many different callbacks. To avoid an heavy requirement on shared pointers such //! as `Rc` and `Arc` and the synchronization they require, [`calloop`] allows you to provide a mutable //! reference to a value, that will be passed down to most callbacks (possibly under the form of a //! [`DispatchData`](::wayland_server::DispatchData) for wayland-related callbacks). This structure provides //! an easy access to a centralized mutable state without synchronization (as the callback invocation is //! *always* sequential), and is the recommended way to of structuring your compositor. //! //! Several objects, in particular on the wayland clients side, can exist as multiple instances where each //! instance has its own associated state. For these situations, these objects provide an interface allowing //! you to associate an arbitrary value to them, that you can access at any time from the object itself //! (rather than having your own container in which you search for the appropriate value when you need it). //! //! ### Logging //! //! Most entry points in the modules can take an optional [`slog::Logger`](::slog::Logger) as argument //! that will be used as a drain for logging. If `None` is provided, the behavior depends on //! whether the `slog-stdlog` is enabled. If yes, the module will log to the global logger of the //! `log` crate. If not, the logs will discarded. This cargo feature is part of the default set of //! features of Smithay. #[doc(hidden)] pub extern crate nix; pub mod backend; pub mod utils; #[cfg(feature = "wayland_frontend")] pub mod wayland; #[cfg(feature = "xwayland")] pub mod xwayland; pub mod reexports; #[cfg(feature = "slog-stdlog")] #[allow(dead_code)] fn slog_or_fallback(logger: L) -> ::slog::Logger where L: Into>, { use slog::Drain; logger .into() .unwrap_or_else(|| ::slog::Logger::root(::slog_stdlog::StdLog.fuse(), slog::o!())) } #[cfg(not(feature = "slog-stdlog"))] #[allow(dead_code)] fn slog_or_fallback(logger: L) -> ::slog::Logger where L: Into>, { logger .into() .unwrap_or_else(|| ::slog::Logger::root(::slog::Discard, slog::o!())) }
