Ryan C. Gordon 4f5bd53e8f wayland: Keep protocol XML files in-tree. 
Now you don't need the latest Wayland installed to build with
newer protocols supported, as they'll build correctly; even if
your system can't use them, we can make intelligent decisions
at runtime about what's available on the current machine anyhow.

This also simplifies some logic and possible failure cases in
the configure and CMake scripts.

Fixes Bugzilla #4207.

The sync request asks the server to emit the 'done' event

handled in-order and events are delivered in-order, this can
be used as a barrier to ensure all previous requests and the
resulting events have been handled.
The object returned by this request will be destroyed by the
compositor after the callback is fired and as such the client must not
attempt to use it after that point.

<description summary="global registry object">
The singleton global registry object. The server has a number of
global objects that are available to all clients. These objects
typically represent an actual object in the server (for example,
an input device) or they are singleton objects that provide
extension functionality.
When a client creates a registry object, the registry object
will emit a global event for each global currently in the
registry. Globals come and go as a result of device or
monitor hotplugs, reconfiguration or other events, and the
registry will send out global and global_remove events to
keep the client up to date with the changes. To mark the end
of the initial burst of events, the client can use the
wl_display.sync request immediately after calling
wl_display.get_registry.
A client can bind to a global object by using the bind
request. This creates a client-side handle that lets the object
emit events to the client and lets the client invoke requests on
the object.

Sets the actions that the destination side client supports for
this operation. This request may trigger the emission of
wl_data_source.action and wl_data_offer.action events if the compositor
needs to change the selected action.
This request can be called multiple times throughout the
drag-and-drop operation, typically in response to wl_data_device.enter
or wl_data_device.motion events.
This request determines the final result of the drag-and-drop
operation. If the end result is that no action is accepted,
the drag source will receive wl_drag_source.cancelled.
The dnd_actions argument must contain only values expressed in the
wl_data_device_manager.dnd_actions enum, and the preferred_action
argument must only contain one of those values set, otherwise it
will result in a protocol error.
While managing an "ask" action, the destination drag-and-drop client
may perform further wl_data_offer.receive requests, and is expected
to perform one last wl_data_offer.set_actions request with a preferred
action other than "ask" (and optionally wl_data_offer.accept) before
requesting wl_data_offer.finish, in order to convey the action selected
by the user. If the preferred action is not in the
wl_data_offer.source_actions mask, an error will be raised.
If the "ask" action is dismissed (e.g. user cancellation), the client
is expected to perform wl_data_offer.destroy right away.
This request can only be made on drag-and-drop offers, a protocol error
will be raised otherwise.

wl_data_offer.set_actions.

Compositors may also change the selected action on the fly, mainly
in response to keyboard modifier changes during the drag-and-drop
operation.
The most recent action received is always the valid one. Prior to
receiving wl_data_device.drop, the chosen action may change (e.g.
due to keyboard modifiers being pressed). At the time of receiving
wl_data_device.drop the drag-and-drop destination must honor the
last action received.
Action changes may still happen after wl_data_device.drop,
especially on "ask" actions, where the drag-and-drop destination
may choose another action afterwards. Action changes happening
at this stage are always the result of inter-client negotiation, the
compositor shall no longer be able to induce a different action.
Upon "ask" actions, it is expected that the drag-and-drop destination
may potentially choose a different action and/or mime type,
based on wl_data_offer.source_actions and finally chosen by the
user (e.g. popping up a menu with the available options). The
final wl_data_offer.set_actions and wl_data_offer.accept requests

In addition, compositors may also pick different actions in

is used in major toolkits (and the behavior recommended for
compositors) is:
- If no modifiers are pressed, the first match (in bit order)
will be used.
- Pressing Shift selects "move", if enabled in the mask.
- Pressing Control selects "copy", if enabled in the mask.
Behavior beyond that is considered implementation-dependent.

If an output parameter is given then the surface will be made

choosing the output on which the surface has the biggest surface
area.
The client may specify a method to resolve a size conflict
between the output size and the surface size - this is provided
through the method parameter.
The framerate parameter is used only when the method is set
to "driver", to indicate the preferred framerate. A value of 0
indicates that the client does not care about framerate. The
framerate is specified in mHz, that is framerate of 60000 is 60Hz.
A method of "scale" or "driver" implies a scaling operation of
the surface, either via a direct scaling operation or a change of
the output mode. This will override any kind of output scaling, so
that mapping a surface with a buffer size equal to the mode can
fill the screen independent of buffer_scale.
A method of "fill" means we don't scale up the buffer, however
any output scale is applied. This means that you may run into
an edge case where the application maps a buffer with the same
size of the output mode but buffer_scale 1 (thus making a
surface larger than the output). In this case it is allowed to
downscale the results to fit the screen.

<interface name="wl_surface" version="4">
<description summary="an onscreen surface">
A surface is a rectangular area that is displayed on the screen.
It has a location, size and pixel contents.
The size of a surface (and relative positions on it) is described
in surface-local coordinates, which may differ from the buffer
coordinates of the pixel content, in case a buffer_transform
or a buffer_scale is used.
A surface without a "role" is fairly useless: a compositor does
not know where, when or how to present it. The role is the
purpose of a wl_surface. Examples of roles are a cursor for a
pointer (as set by wl_pointer.set_cursor), a drag icon
(wl_data_device.start_drag), a sub-surface
(wl_subcompositor.get_subsurface), and a window as defined by a
shell protocol (e.g. wl_shell.get_shell_surface).
A surface can have only one role at a time. Initially a
wl_surface does not have a role. Once a wl_surface is given a
role, it is set permanently for the whole lifetime of the
wl_surface object. Giving the current role again is allowed,
unless explicitly forbidden by the relevant interface
specification.
Surface roles are given by requests in other interfaces such as
wl_pointer.set_cursor. The request should explicitly mention
that this request gives a role to a wl_surface. Often, this
request also creates a new protocol object that represents the
role and adds additional functionality to wl_surface. When a
client wants to destroy a wl_surface, they must destroy this 'role
object' before the wl_surface.
Destroying the role object does not remove the role from the
wl_surface, but it may stop the wl_surface from "playing the role".
For instance, if a wl_subsurface object is destroyed, the wl_surface
it was created for will be unmapped and forget its position and
z-order. It is allowed to create a wl_subsurface for the same
wl_surface again, but it is not allowed to use the wl_surface as
a cursor (cursor is a different role than sub-surface, and role
switching is not allowed).

<description summary="set the surface contents">
Set a buffer as the content of this surface.
The new size of the surface is calculated based on the buffer
size transformed by the inverse buffer_transform and the
inverse buffer_scale. This means that the supplied buffer
must be an integer multiple of the buffer_scale.
The x and y arguments specify the location of the new pending
buffer's upper left corner, relative to the current buffer's upper
left corner, in surface-local coordinates. In other words, the
x and y, combined with the new surface size define in which
directions the surface's size changes.
Surface contents are double-buffered state, see wl_surface.commit.
The initial surface contents are void; there is no content.
wl_surface.attach assigns the given wl_buffer as the pending
wl_buffer. wl_surface.commit makes the pending wl_buffer the new
surface contents, and the size of the surface becomes the size
calculated from the wl_buffer, as described above. After commit,
there is no pending buffer until the next attach.
Committing a pending wl_buffer allows the compositor to read the
pixels in the wl_buffer. The compositor may access the pixels at
any time after the wl_surface.commit request. When the compositor
will not access the pixels anymore, it will send the
wl_buffer.release event. Only after receiving wl_buffer.release,
the client may reuse the wl_buffer. A wl_buffer that has been
attached and then replaced by another attach instead of committed
will not receive a release event, and is not used by the
compositor.
Destroying the wl_buffer after wl_buffer.release does not change
the surface contents. However, if the client destroys the
wl_buffer before receiving the wl_buffer.release event, the surface
contents become undefined immediately.
If wl_surface.attach is sent with a NULL wl_buffer, the
following wl_surface.commit will remove the surface content.

Request a notification when it is a good time to start drawing a new

redrawing operations, and driving animations.
When a client is animating on a wl_surface, it can use the 'frame'
request to get notified when it is a good time to draw and commit the
next frame of animation. If the client commits an update earlier than
that, it is likely that some updates will not make it to the display,
and the client is wasting resources by drawing too often.
The frame request will take effect on the next wl_surface.commit.
The notification will only be posted for one frame unless
requested again. For a wl_surface, the notifications are posted in
the order the frame requests were committed.
The server must send the notifications so that a client
will not send excessive updates, while still allowing
the highest possible update rate for clients that wait for the reply
before drawing again. The server should give some time for the client
to draw and commit after sending the frame callback events to let it
hit the next output refresh.
A server should avoid signaling the frame callbacks if the
surface is not visible in any way, e.g. the surface is off-screen,
or completely obscured by other opaque surfaces.
The object returned by this request will be destroyed by the
compositor after the callback is fired and as such the client must not

This request sets an optional transformation on how the compositor

Buffer transform is double-buffered state, see wl_surface.commit.
A newly created surface has its buffer transformation set to normal.
wl_surface.set_buffer_transform changes the pending buffer

The purpose of this request is to allow clients to render content

The purpose of this request is to allow clients to supply higher

Note: Because buffer transformation changes and damage requests may
be interleaved in the protocol stream, it is impossible to determine

<description summary="end of a pointer event sequence">
Indicates the end of a set of events that logically belong together.
A client is expected to accumulate the data in all events within the
frame before proceeding.
All wl_pointer events before a wl_pointer.frame event belong
logically together. For example, in a diagonal scroll motion the
compositor will send an optional wl_pointer.axis_source event, two
wl_pointer.axis events (horizontal and vertical) and finally a
wl_pointer.frame event. The client may use this information to
calculate a diagonal vector for scrolling.
When multiple wl_pointer.axis events occur within the same frame,
the motion vector is the combined motion of all events.
When a wl_pointer.axis and a wl_pointer.axis_stop event occur within
the same frame, this indicates that axis movement in one axis has
stopped but continues in the other axis.
When multiple wl_pointer.axis_stop events occur within the same
frame, this indicates that these axes stopped in the same instance.
A wl_pointer.frame event is sent for every logical event group,
even if the group only contains a single wl_pointer event.
Specifically, a client may get a sequence: motion, frame, button,
frame, axis, frame, axis_stop, frame.
The wl_pointer.enter and wl_pointer.leave events are logical events
generated by the compositor and not the hardware. These events are
also grouped by a wl_pointer.frame. When a pointer moves from one
surface to another, a compositor should group the
wl_pointer.leave event within the same wl_pointer.frame.
However, a client must not rely on wl_pointer.leave and
wl_pointer.enter being in the same wl_pointer.frame.
Compositor-specific policies may require the wl_pointer.leave and
wl_pointer.enter event being split across multiple wl_pointer.frame

The "continuous" axis source is a device generating events in a

This event carries the axis value of the wl_pointer.axis event in
discrete steps (e.g. mouse wheel clicks).
This event does not occur on its own, it is coupled with a
wl_pointer.axis event that represents this axis value on a
continuous scale. The protocol guarantees that each axis_discrete
event is always followed by exactly one axis event with the same
axis number within the same wl_pointer.frame. Note that the protocol
allows for other events to occur between the axis_discrete and
its coupled axis event, including other axis_discrete or axis

This event is optional; continuous scrolling devices
like two-finger scrolling on touchpads do not have discrete
steps and do not generate this event.
The discrete value carries the directional information. e.g. a value
of -2 is two steps towards the negative direction of this axis.
The axis number is identical to the axis number in the associated
axis event.

It is intended that scaling aware clients track the

<description summary="sub-surface compositing">
The global interface exposing sub-surface compositing capabilities.
A wl_surface, that has sub-surfaces associated, is called the
parent surface. Sub-surfaces can be arbitrarily nested and create
a tree of sub-surfaces.
The root surface in a tree of sub-surfaces is the main
surface. The main surface cannot be a sub-surface, because
sub-surfaces must always have a parent.
A main surface with its sub-surfaces forms a (compound) window.
For window management purposes, this set of wl_surface objects is
to be considered as a single window, and it should also behave as
such.
The aim of sub-surfaces is to offload some of the compositing work
within a window from clients to the compositor. A prime example is
a video player with decorations and video in separate wl_surface
objects. This should allow the compositor to pass YUV video buffer
processing to dedicated overlay hardware when possible.

<description summary="sub-surface interface to a wl_surface">
An additional interface to a wl_surface object, which has been
made a sub-surface. A sub-surface has one parent surface. A
sub-surface's size and position are not limited to that of the parent.
Particularly, a sub-surface is not automatically clipped to its
parent's area.
A sub-surface becomes mapped, when a non-NULL wl_buffer is applied
and the parent surface is mapped. The order of which one happens
first is irrelevant. A sub-surface is hidden if the parent becomes
hidden, or if a NULL wl_buffer is applied. These rules apply
recursively through the tree of surfaces.
The behaviour of a wl_surface.commit request on a sub-surface
depends on the sub-surface's mode. The possible modes are
synchronized and desynchronized, see methods
wl_subsurface.set_sync and wl_subsurface.set_desync. Synchronized
mode caches the wl_surface state to be applied when the parent's
state gets applied, and desynchronized mode applies the pending
wl_surface state directly. A sub-surface is initially in the
synchronized mode.
Sub-surfaces have also other kind of state, which is managed by
wl_subsurface requests, as opposed to wl_surface requests. This
state includes the sub-surface position relative to the parent
surface (wl_subsurface.set_position), and the stacking order of
the parent and its sub-surfaces (wl_subsurface.place_above and
.place_below). This state is applied when the parent surface's
wl_surface state is applied, regardless of the sub-surface's mode.
As the exception, set_sync and set_desync are effective immediately.
The main surface can be thought to be always in desynchronized mode,
since it does not have a parent in the sub-surfaces sense.
Even if a sub-surface is in desynchronized mode, it will behave as
in synchronized mode, if its parent surface behaves as in
synchronized mode. This rule is applied recursively throughout the
tree of surfaces. This means, that one can set a sub-surface into
synchronized mode, and then assume that all its child and grand-child
sub-surfaces are synchronized, too, without explicitly setting them.
If the wl_surface associated with the wl_subsurface is destroyed, the
wl_subsurface object becomes inert. Note, that destroying either object
takes effect immediately. If you need to synchronize the removal
of a sub-surface to the parent surface update, unmap the sub-surface
first by attaching a NULL wl_buffer, update parent, and then destroy
the sub-surface.
If the parent wl_surface object is destroyed, the sub-surface is
unmapped.

In synchronized mode, wl_surface.commit on a sub-surface will

not be applied and hence will not change the compositor output.
The cached state is applied to the sub-surface immediately after
the parent surface's state is applied. This ensures atomic
updates of the parent and all its synchronized sub-surfaces.
Applying the cached state will invalidate the cache, so further
parent surface commits do not (re-)apply old state.
See wl_subsurface for the recursive effect of this mode.

<description summary="set sub-surface to desynchronized mode">
Change the commit behaviour of the sub-surface to desynchronized

In desynchronized mode, wl_surface.commit on a sub-surface will
apply the pending state directly, without caching, as happens
normally with a wl_surface. Calling wl_surface.commit on the
parent surface has no effect on the sub-surface's wl_surface
state. This mode allows a sub-surface to be updated on its own.
If cached state exists when wl_surface.commit is called in
desynchronized mode, the pending state is added to the cached
state, and applied as a whole. This invalidates the cache.
Note: even if a sub-surface is set to desynchronized, a parent
sub-surface may override it to behave as synchronized. For details,
see wl_subsurface.
If a surface's parent surface behaves as desynchronized, then
the cached state is applied on set_desync.
