Details

Summary

Implements the necessary classes to have proper support for the tablet and pen.
Doesn't implement yet the ring/slider/totem bits.

Test Plan

Used it with Plasma and GTK clients, together with the kwin patch I'll submit soon.

Also I added a test.

This revision seems to be incomplete. I don't see where TabletManagerInterface was introduced.

This method lacks documentation. At first, I thought that it returns the wl_resource for a wl_surface. However, the best thing would be not to leak wl_resource to the public API at all.

Looks good to me in general. There are still many coding style issues. I suggest to run clang-format over individual files in this patch and then adjust the most problematic places (I don't think there will be that many).

You could borrow a .clang-format file from https://github.com/KDE/extra-cmake-modules/blob/master/kde-modules/clang-format.cmake. Just make sure that ColumnLimit is set to 0.

Code-wise, this change looks good. I don't have a tablet device to test this patch so you may want to wait for a +1 from @davidedmundson.

Feedback from some testing:

  • we're adding the same tool a bunch of times when a new client is created
  • sometimes we fail to enter the surface leaving the cursor "stuck" (with gtk3-demo)

I'll see if I can spot why.

FWIW, Qt have a tablet test at qtbase/examples/widgets/widgets/tablet though that means compiling 5.15 to get the qtwayland tablet integration

It looks stuck because we're not emulating mouse over them.

We'll need to set up some infrastructure in KWin to do that properly.
Before you look into it, we can't use Cursor::setPos() because it actually moves the mouse pointer and spawns a ton of unwanted events.

Only call destruction if it was an owned tablet, this way we don't crash.

We're mixing up hardwareId and hardwareSerial

this method is called toolByHardwareId calls an internal method called hardwareSerial

Yet ultimately does check:
m_hardwareIdHigh

comparing it against a serial

Fix tablet removal

apol updated this revision to Diff 77926.Mar 18 2020, 2:49 PM

Only delete when all the subscribed resources are gone.

This is still potentially crashy:
if all clients remove their tablet support we would have a dangling pointer in m_tablets.

Personally I would remove this delete q, and have the lifespan of TabletInterface managed up to TabletSeatInterface::removeTablet or TabletSeatInterface::~TabletSeatInterface()

even if it has no resources.

or if we do want to keep the TabletInterface around till clients gracefully remove their side
we should have some sort of if (resourcesMap.isEmpty() && isRemoved) {delete q}
