In X, background pixmap is tiled (meaning they are repeated to filled
the window) by default. So, in the glx backend, we mimic this behavior
by binding the background pixmap of the root window (aka, the wallpaper)
to texture that repeats.

Background: To bind a Xorg window content to a OpenGL FBConfig, which
has to match the color format the Xorg window is using.
Previously, compton just find a FBConfig that has the same depth. This
led to chjj/compton#477, which has been fixed by a ugly hack.
The commit refactor the lookup mechanism to take as much into
consideration as we reasonably can. Hopefully preventing similar
breakages in the future.
Also, some code sharing between the old and new glx backend.

Previously we were using glibc's strtod function to parse floating point
numbers. The problem is, strtod is locale dependent. Meaning 7,7 might
be parsed as two numbers (7 and 7) in one locale, and parsed as one
number (7 point 7) in another locale. This is undesirable.
We need to set the locale to a value we know to make number parsing
consistently. We could use setlocale(), but that is not thread-safe. We
can also use uselocale(), which is thread-safe, but doesn't cover strtod
(Yeah, some of the locale-aware functions only acknowledge the global
locale, not the thread local one).
So in frustration, I just wrote a simple floating point number parser
myself. This parser obviously doesn't cover all cases strtod covers, but
is good enough for our needs.

Previously, compton fails to stop draw_idle in some cases when sw_opti
is enabled.
sw_opti is a feature that limits the draw frequence to vblank frequence.
It adds a delay to drawing when the screen is updated more frequently
than the vblank frequence. However when the delay is not used (i.e. the
screen is updated infrequent enough), compton will start drawing the
frame directly without using the delay. And specically in this case,
compton will fail to stop the draw_idle, causing a callback to be called
once per loop of the mainloop, resulting in high CPU usage.

This commit introduced a new, modular backend interface. The interface
is not very good, since I don't think I fully understand all the
requirements writing a backend have. But this is a good first step.
This commit also includes an initial xrender backend written using the
new interface, and some opengl backend related helper functions, which
are taken from the old opengl backend.
However, there is not integration with the core compton yet. compton
will still use the old backend code. This commit is here so we can get
the automated build test.

* Windows with transparency
* Shadow
* Opacity

This was a dubious "fix" for a Nvidia driver problem. The problem was
never fully understood, and the then developers took a shotgun approach
and implemented xsync fences as a fix. Which somehow fixed the problem.
Again, I don't see any indication that the developers understood why
this "fix" worked.
(for details, see chjj/compton#152 and chjj/compton#181)
The driver problem should have been fixed almost 5 years ago. So this
shouldn't be needed anymore. In addition the way compton uses xsync fences
is apparently wrong according to the xsync spec (fences are attached to
screen, but compton uses them as if they were attached to drawables).
So, I will try removing it and see if anyone will complain. If there are
real concrete reasons why fences are needed, it will be brought back.

Re-did the painting logic, and document it.
It is unclear to me what is the previous painting logic. But the current
one is basically this:
1. Go through all windows top to bottom, and put visible windows (not
unmapped, opacity > 0, etc) into a linked list, from bottom to top
2. Accumulate a region of ignore on each window, which is basically the
region of screen that is obscured by all the windows above current
one.
3. Paint all the visible windows from bottom to top. Subtract the region
of ignore from the painting region. If we need to paint shadow, we
subtract the body of the window from the shadow painting region too,
because we don't want shadow behind the window.
4. region of ignore is invalidated when window stack change, an
window on top moved or changed shape, when window changed between
opaque and transparent, etc.
Notes:
It is unclear whether all the different shapes of a window (extents,
noframe, border, bounding shape, etc) are calculated correctly or not.
It is unclear if window shape related events are handled correctly or
not. Need more testing.

If an X event is received at a very specific point in time, it can trigger
a race condition in Xlib. Said event will be read, but Xlib will
nonetheless be completely unaware of the event.
This cause compton to sometimes block on select() while there are events
ready to be processed. If the event is a damage report, screen freeze
will happen until some other event is received.
The proper fix is to switch to xcb for event handling, thus avoid this
problem entirely.
There seems to be a race between DamageAdd (what the client uses
to report damage to Xserver) and DamageSubtract (what compton uses
to clear the reported damage, so it can receive new ones). I am not
sure how to confirm this. But this (terrible) workaround seems to
solve this problem.
* Move code around
* Remove unneeded forward declaration
* Rename win->damaged to win->ever_damaged, to be less confusing
* Expose debug functions even when DEBUG is not enabled. Compiler
would remove the dead code for us anyway.
* Some code cleanup
Also move static function prototypes out of compton.h. Seems like the
previous developers didn't know what header files are for.
Seems to have bugs after the split.
Before becoming the selection owner for _NET_WM_CM_Sn, compton will now check if
that selection is already owned (which means that another composite manager is
already running). If this check fails, startup will be refused. This behaviour
is required by EWMH / ICCCM.
Because this should catch all composite managers, the error message that was
used before when another manager is already running is reworded to mention that
the other manager does not follow EWMH.

Under extreme race conditions (window A close at the same time as window
B create), there can be multiple windows with same id in compton's window
list. If at this point window B closes itself as well, finish_destroy_win
might destroy a different window as what's passed to destroy_callback.
This can be a problem because someone can still hold a reference to that
window (e.g. 't' in paint_preprocess), and there's no way to clear that
reference. If finish_destroy_win always destroy the same window passed
to destroy_callback, this will not be a problem.
- Remove the const function attribute from get_time_*(), since the

Possible fix for a very rare timing issue in focus detection. Compton
may fail to detect the currently focused window, when a window newly
mapped gets focused, we failed to listen to events and get FocusIn from
it in time, and a series of focus change events before it happens stay
in the event queue and puzzled compton. My choice is to force focus

necessarily worse performance, due to the high cost of focus flipping

that case: XGetInputFocus() shows the root window is focused but
another window is receiving input.
- Possible fix for high CPU usage with a low --unredir-possible-delay.
Thanks to Feltzer for reporting. (#140)
- Rewrite some parts to (hopefully) increase performance, especially
with --unredir-if-possible.
- Known issue: With GTX 670 and x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-325.15, and
compton --unredir-if-possible --config /dev/null, if you send a
SIGUSR1 to compton when a full-screen solid window is there, in which
case compton either redirects then immediately unredirects the screen,
or just don't redirect it altogether, X freezes after compton
unredirects the screen. Requests sent by other X clients are not
responded until compton is killed, which indicates the possibility of
a bug in X. Attaching to X process shows X is on ./os/waitFor.c.
Backend does not matter. --paint-on-overlay fixes the issue somehow.
compton-git-v0.1_beta1-5-g4600f43-2013-08-28 doesn't exhibit the
issue, but it's probably timing-related.
- Add --unredir-if-possible-exclude, to exclude certain windows when
evaluating --unredir-if-possible. (#140)
- Add --unredir-if-possible-delay, to add some delay before
unredirecting screen. (#138, #140)
- Code clean-up.
- Add stoppaint_force option, controlled via D-Bus, to stop painting
completely, which may look better than unredirecting the screen,
sometimes. (#41)
- Add x2, y2 matching targets.
- Update documentation.
- Fix OpenGL 3.0 compatibility by changing glFramebufferTexture() to
glFramebufferTexture2D(). Thanks to danfe for suggestion!
- Add notification about DocBook toolchina dependencies. Thanks to
danfe. (#121)
- Add --paint-exclude to prevent certain windows from being painted, for
debugging purposes.
- Add predefined matching target "x", "y", "width", "height", "widthb",
"heightb", "border_width", and "fullscreen".
- Fix bug #119, wrong man page install dir in CMake configuration.
Thanks to sstewartgallus for reporting.
- Add --shadow-exclude-reg, which excludes certain regions on the screen
to have shadows painted in. (#116)
- Adjust session initialization order. Now X root and screen info and
basic X extensions are available in configuration parsing step.
- Add --opacity-rule, which sets opacity based on conditions, as
requested by zabbal. (#113)
- Add a data field for each condition.
- Correct the FAQ link in README.md. Silly me.
- Code clean-up.
- Add multipass blur support. Note GLX Framebuffer support is required.
My benchmark shows multipass blur brings 5% performance boost for X
Render backend (3x3box). On GLX backend it brings 10% performance
boost for 5x5box but negatively affects performance for 3x3box. Thanks
to jrfonseca for advice. (#107)
- GLX backend: Cache blur texture for each window, for a 12% performance
boost.
- Add D-Bus fading control. Thanks to yulan6248 for testing. (#112)
- Fix FAQ link in README.md. Thanks to lorenzos for report. (#111)
- Correctly deinitialize VSync on on-the-fly VSync method switch.
- X Render backend: Normalize blur kernel.
- Code clean-up.
- Known issue: Linear corruption on border of a window may appear with X
Render multi-pass blur. Possible to fix but probably not worthwhile.
- GLX backend: Add DEBUG_GLX_MARK, to add GL marks around functions with
glStringMarkerGREMEDY(), and mark frame termination with
glFrameTerminatorGREMEDY().
- Print output of `compton -h` to stdout. (#110)
- GLX backend: Strip out elements with factor 0 in GLSL blur code.
Thanks to jrfonseca for guides. (#107)
- Fix GL_TEXTURE_RECTANGLE support. Thanks to amonakov for guides.
(#107)
- Enhance --glx-copy-from-front to improve performance and make it work
with --glx-swap-method, copied from kwin patch. Thanks to bwat47 for
info. (#107)
- Add texture2Doffset() support in blur GLSL shader. Thanks to amonakov
for advice. No visible benefit here, though. (#107)
- Only limited tests are done and I'm super sleepy. Bugs expected
- Fix --resize-damage. I forgot to shrink the painting region back when
actually copying to destination.
- Include extra pixels around the blur texture to avoid some possible
small issues, if --resize-damage is positive.
- Known issue: Line artifacts may still appear with --dbe (X Render
backend) or --glx-swap-method (GLX backend). I doubt if there's way to
fix this without very inefficient mechanisms.
- Add --resize-damage to enlarge/shrink repaint region by a specific
number of pixels, used for solving the line corruption issue with
blur. Thanks to Nuck and jerri in #104 for reporting.
- Fix the memory leak of blur shader string.
- Add blur convolution kernel customization, --blur-kern. The format is
a bit tricky so be sure to read the description in `compton -h`. Not
much tests received.
- GLX backend: Tolerate missing GLSL uniforms for strangely shaped
convolution kernel.
- Fix a memory leak that blur-background blacklist is not freed.
- GLX backend: Add --glx-swap-method, to reduce painting region if the
driver uses exchange or copy buffer swaps. Untested.
- Add --fade-exclude, to disable fading on specific windows based on
some conditions. Untested.
- Expose GLX backend options through configuration file. Add fetching of
GLX backend options through D-Bus.
- Use NULL pointer instead of element count to delimit string arrays in
parse_vsync()/parse_backend()/parse_glx_swap_method().
- Add documentation about "wintypes" section in configuration file.
- GLX backend: Fix broken dim and blur with --glx-no-stencil when
dealing with shaped windows.
- GLX backend: Cache region contents and do a local region intersection
instead of using XFixesIntersectRegion(). Drastic reduction in CPU
usage for --glx-no-stencil. Now --glx-no-stencil substantially
outperforms (~15%) normal mode.
- Use macros to reuse paint-in-region code in opengl.c . Add new type
"reg_data_t" to store XserverRegion cache.
- Cache region contents in is_region_empty(), mostly useful only for GLX
backend to save one roundtrip to X.
- GLX backend: Add --glx-no-rebind-pixmap, which prevents rebinding of
GLX texture to pixmap on content change. It doesn't work on some
drivers, but it saves some CPU on those where it does.
- Wrap XFree() with a new function cxfree() since its man page claims
NULL pointers are not acceptable (although in fact it does...).
- Use macro to save some code in get_cfg(). Code clean-up.
- GLX backend: Fix broken --inactive-dim.
- GLX backend: Fix bugs when inverting colors of windows. Thanks to
madsy and neure for help.
- GLX backend: Lift `glx_no_stencil` restriction from glx_init_blur().
It still probably won't work, but the user can try.
- XRender backend: Use XRenderFillRectangles() instead of
XRenderComposite() to do dimming.
- Add --blur-background-exclude. (#98)
- Add `opengl-mswc` VSync, which uses MESA_swap_control instead of
SGI_swap_control. I don't expect it to perform better than
SGI_swap_control, though.
- Update CMakeLists.txt .
- Add a few targets for D-Bus `win_get`. Misc changes.
- Known issue: Apparently I've forgotten implementing --inactive-dim on
GLX backend... Silly me.
- GLX backend: Add --glx-use-copysubbuffermesa, to use
MESA_copy_sub_buffer to do partial screen update. Huge performance
boost on mesa drivers for partial screen updates, but does not work
for nvidia-drivers and may break VSync. Automagically overrides
--glx-copy-from-front.
- Add rect_is_fullscreen() to reuse code. Misc changes.
