Ryan Dwyer d10ccc1eb1 Correctly track saved surfaces during multiple transactions
Fixes #2364.

Suppose a view is 600px wide, and we tell it to resize to 601px during a
resize operation. We create a transaction, save the 600px buffer and
send the configure. This buffer is saved into the associated
instruction, and is rendered while we wait for the view to commit a
601px buffer.

Before the view commits the 601px buffer, suppose we tell it to resize
to 602px. The new transaction will also save the buffer, but it's still
the 600px buffer because we haven't received a new one yet.

Then suppose the view commits its original 601px buffer. This completes
the first transaction, so we apply the 601px width to the container.
There's still the second (now only) transaction remaining, so we render
the saved buffer from that. But this is still the 600px buffer, and we
believe it's 601px. Whoops.

The problem here is we can't stack buffers like this. So this commit
removes the saved buffer from the instructions, places it in the view
instead, and re-saves the latest buffer every time the view completes a
transaction and still has further pending transactions.

As saved buffers are now specific to views rather than instructions, the
functions for saving and removing the saved buffer have been moved to
view.c.

The calls to save and restore the buffer have been relocated to more
appropriate functions too, favouring transaction_commit and
transaction_apply rather than transaction_add_container and
transaction_destroy.

"SirCmpwn's Wayland compositor" is a work in progress i3-compatible Wayland compositor. Read the FAQ. Join the IRC channel (#sway on irc.freenode.net).

Notice: You are viewing the unstable and unsupported master branch of sway, where work is ongoing to port it to wlroots. The supported branch is the 0.15 branch, and end users are encouraged to use the stable releases cut from it.

If you'd like to support sway development, please contribute to SirCmpwn's Patreon page.

Installation

From Packages

Sway is available in many distributions. Try installing the "sway" package for yours. If it's not available, check out this wiki page for information on installation for your distributions.

If you're interested in packaging sway for your distribution, stop by the IRC channel or shoot an email to sir@cmpwn.com for advice.

Compiling from Source

Install dependencies:

  • meson
  • wlroots
  • wayland
  • xwayland
  • libinput >= 1.6.0
  • libcap
  • pcre
  • json-c >= 0.13
  • pango
  • cairo
  • gdk-pixbuf2 *
  • pam **
  • dbus >= 1.10 ***
  • scdoc (required for man pages)

*Only required for swaybar, swaybg, and swaylock

**Only required for swaylock

***Only required for tray support

Run these commands:

meson build
ninja -C build
sudo ninja -C build install

On systems with logind, you need to set a few caps on the binary:

sudo setcap "cap_sys_ptrace,cap_sys_tty_config=eip" /usr/local/bin/sway

On systems without logind, you need to suid the sway binary:

sudo chmod a+s /usr/local/bin/sway

Configuration

If you already use i3, then copy your i3 config to ~/.config/sway/config and it'll work out of the box. Otherwise, copy the sample configuration file to ~/.config/sway/config. It is usually located at /etc/sway/config. Run man 5 sway for information on the configuration.

Running

Run sway from a TTY. Some display managers may work but are not supported by sway (gdm is known to work fairly well).
