Detailed Description

Wrapper class for wl_shm interface.

This class holds a shared memory pool together with the Wayland server.

To use this class one needs to interact with the Registry. There are two possible ways to create a ShmPool instance:

ShmPool *s = registry->createShmPool(name, version);

This creates the ShmPool and sets it up directly. As an alternative this can also be done in a more low level way:

ShmPool *s = new ShmPool;

s->setup(registry->bindShm(name, version));

The ShmPool holds a memory-mapped file from which it provides Buffers. All Buffers are held by the ShmPool and can be reused. Whenever a Buffer is requested the ShmPool tries to reuse an existing Buffer. A Buffer can be reused if the following conditions hold

it's no longer marked as used
the server released the buffer
the size matches
the stride matches
the format matches

The ownership of a Buffer stays with ShmPool. The ShmPool might destroy the Buffer at any given time. Because of that ShmPool only provides QWeakPointer for Buffers. Users should always check whether the pointer is still valid and only promote to a QSharedPointer for a short time, e.g. to set new data.

The ShmPool can provide Buffers for different purposes. One can create a Buffer from an existing QImage. This will use a Buffer with same size, stride and image format as the QImage and copy the content of the QImage into the Buffer. The memory is not shared:

QImage image(24, 24, QImage::Format_ARG32);
image.fill(Qt::transparent);
Buffer::Ptr buffer = s->createBuffer(image);

It is also possible to create a Buffer and copy the content from a generic location. Like above this doesn't share the content but copies it:

QImage image(24, 24, QImage::Format_ARG32);
image.fill(Qt::transparent);
Buffer::Ptr buffer = s->createBuffer(image.size(), image.bytesPerLine(), image.constBits());

Last but not least it is possible to get a Buffer without copying content directly to it. This means an empty area is just reserved and can be used to e.g. share the memory with a QImage:

const QSize size = QSize(24, 24);
const int stride = size.width() * 4;
Buffer::Ptr buffer = s->getBuffer(size, stride, Buffer::Format::RGB32);
if (!buffer) {
    qDebug() << "Didn't get a valid Buffer";
    return;
}
QImage image(buffer.toStrongRef()->address(), size.width(), size.height(), stride, QImage::Format_RGB32);
image.fill(Qt::black);

A Buffer can be attached to a Surface:

Compositor *c = registry.createCompositor(name, version);
Surface *s = c->createSurface();
s->attachBuffer(buffer);
s->damage(QRect(QPoint(0, 0), size));

Once a Buffer is attached to a Surface and the Surface is committed, it might be released by the Wayland server and thus is free to be reused again. If the client code wants to continue using the Buffer it must call Buffer::setUsed on it. This is important if the memory is shared for example with a QImage as the memory buffer for a QImage must remain valid throughout the life time of the QImage:

buffer.toStrongRef()->setUsed(true);

This is also important for the case that the shared memory pool needs to be resized. The ShmPool will automatically resize if it cannot provide a new Buffer. During the resize all existing Buffers are unmapped and any shared objects must be recreated. The ShmPool emits the signal poolResized() after the pool got resized.

Member Function Documentation

Buffer::Ptr KWayland::Client::ShmPool::createBuffer ( const QImage & image )

Provides a Buffer with:

same size as image
same stride as image
same format as image

If the ShmPool fails to provide such a Buffer a null Buffer::Ptr is returned. The content of the image is copied into the buffer. The image and returned Buffer do not share memory.

Parameters

image The image which should be copied into the Buffer

Returns: Buffer with copied content of image in success case, a null Buffer::Ptr otherwise

See also: getBuffer

Definition at line 187 of file shm_pool.cpp.

Buffer::Ptr KWayland::Client::ShmPool::createBuffer	(	const QSize &	size,
		int32_t	stride,
		const void *	src,
		Buffer::Format	format = `Buffer::Format::ARGB32`
	)

Provides a Buffer with size, stride and format.

If the ShmPool fails to provide such a Buffer a null Buffer::Ptr is returned. A memory copy is performed from src into the Buffer. The Buffer does not share memory with src.

Parameters

size	The requested size for the Buffer
stride	The requested stride for the Buffer
src	The source memory location to copy from
format	The requested format for the Buffer

Returns: Buffer with copied content of src in success case, a null Buffer::Ptr otherwise

See also: getBuffer

Definition at line 206 of file shm_pool.cpp.

void KWayland::Client::ShmPool::destroy ( )

Destroys the data held by this ShmPool.

This method is supposed to be used when the connection to the Wayland server goes away. If the connection is not valid anymore, it's not possible to call release anymore as that calls into the Wayland connection and the call would fail. This method cleans up the data, so that the instance can be deleted or set up to a new wl_shm interface once there is a new connection available.

All Buffers are destroyed!

This method is automatically invoked when the Registry which created this ShmPool gets destroyed.

Definition at line 93 of file shm_pool.cpp.

EventQueue * KWayland::Client::ShmPool::eventQueue ( )

Returns: The event queue to use for creating a Buffer.

Definition at line 123 of file shm_pool.cpp.

Buffer::Ptr KWayland::Client::ShmPool::getBuffer	(	const QSize &	size,
		int32_t	stride,
		Buffer::Format	format = `Buffer::Format::ARGB32`
	)

Provides a Buffer with size, stride and format.

If the ShmPool fails to provide such a Buffer a null Buffer::Ptr is returned. Unlike with createBuffer there is no memory copy performed. This provides a bare Buffer to be used by the user.

Parameters

size	The requested size for the Buffer
stride	The requested stride for the Buffer
format	The requested format for the Buffer

Returns: Buffer as requested in success case, a null Buffer::Ptr otherwise.

Definition at line 232 of file shm_pool.cpp.

bool KWayland::Client::ShmPool::isValid ( ) const

Returns: true if the ShmPool references a wl_shm interface and the shared memory pool is setup.

Definition at line 275 of file shm_pool.cpp.

void KWayland::Client::ShmPool::poolResized ( )

signal

This signal is emitted whenever the shared memory pool gets resized.

Any used Buffer must be remapped.

void KWayland::Client::ShmPool::release ( )

Releases the wl_shm interface.

After the interface has been released the ShmPool instance is no longer valid and can be setup with another wl_shm interface.

This also destroys the shared memory pool and all Buffers are destroyed.

Definition at line 79 of file shm_pool.cpp.

void KWayland::Client::ShmPool::removed ( )

signal

The corresponding global for this interface on the Registry got removed.

This signal gets only emitted if the Compositor got created by Registry::createShmPool

Since: 5.5

void KWayland::Client::ShmPool::setEventQueue ( EventQueue * queue )

Sets the queue to use for creating a Buffer.

Definition at line 118 of file shm_pool.cpp.

void KWayland::Client::ShmPool::setup ( wl_shm * shm )

Setup this ShmPool to manage the shm.

This also creates the shared memory pool. When using Registry::createShmPool there is no need to call this method.
