- Remove the `Device`, `Surface`, `RawDevice` and `RawSurface` traits. We are not trying to merge the different responsibilities between... - Drm-Surfaces: crtcs and planes for displaying buffers - Gbm-Surfaces: allocating and managing front- and back-buffers - EGL-Surfaces: Load drawing apis. ..anymore. - Instead unify the legacy and atomic backends into one `DrmDevice` and a `DrmSurface`, that under the hood dispatches onto the different modules. - Do not keep a list of surfaces inside the devices. These are reference-counting nightmares and a frequent issue due to the read-only nature of `Rc` and `Arc` and thread-safety related problems. - Surfaces are mostly doing state-tracking independently of each other and contain some more helper functions. - Simplify session code, because we do not need to pass the events through three layers of devices and surfaces anymore. - Each surface now represents a plane. Rendering to a plane is just like any other rendering step, including the Cursor-plane. (Legacy interfaces only have one to avoid dealing with short-comings of the api). |

Smithay
A smithy for rusty wayland compositors
Goals
Smithay aims to provide building blocks to create wayland compositors in Rust. While not being a full-blown compositor, it'll provide objects and interfaces implementing common functionalities that pretty much any compositor will need, in a generic fashion.
Also:
- Documented: Smithay strives to maintain a clear and detailed documentation of its API and its functionalities. Compiled documentations are available on docs.rs for released versions, and here for the master branch.
- Safety: Smithay will target to be safe to use, because Rust.
- Modularity: Smithay is not a framework, and will not be constraining. If there is a part you don't want to use, you should not be forced to use it.
- High-level: You should be able to not have to worry about gory low-level stuff (but Smithay won't stop you if you really want to dive into it).
Anvil
Like others, Smithay as a compositor library has its own sample compositor: anvil.
You can run it with cargo after having cloned this repository:
cd anvil;
cargo run -- --{backend}
The currently available backends are:
-
--winit: start anvil as a Winit application. This allows you to run it inside of an other X11 or Wayland session. -
--tty-udev: start anvil in a tty with udev support. This is the "traditional" launch of a Wayland compositor. Note that this requires you to start anvil as root if your system does not have logind available (consolekit support is planned). To use logind, you need to activate the associated cargo feature:cargo run --features logind -- --tty-udev
