[GTK][EFL] Unify platform display handling

• Component: Platform
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Carlos Garcia Campos]

There are several places were we are handling the X display connection:

 - GLContext::sharedX11Display() creates a new connection.
 - X11Helper::nativeDisplay() creates a new connection.
 - BackingStoreBackendCairoX11 uses the GTK+ shared connection.
 - NetscapePlugin::x11HostDisplay() uses the GTK+/ecore shared connection
 - The rest of the GTK+ code uses the shared GTK+ connection

And then we also have WaylandDisplay and the code to check if the current display is wayland or X11.

We could unify all these to share the same connection to reduce the amount of ifdefs and ensure a single connection. That will also allow us to use "smart pointers" for the X resources that need a Display* to be freed.

Zan, I haven't checked the Wayland part builds/works.

Excellent clean up.

This is cool.

These are #ifs but they really should both co-exist. It's unrelated to this patch though.

Maybe these helpers can gradually move into PlatformDisplayX11.

Nit: Extra empty line here.

Yes :-)

Right, I tried to not change any logic in this patch. But the PlatformDisplay class has been thought with the idea of supporting X11 and wayland support in the same binary, indeed.

Yes, probably, but it seems to me that some of them are very specific to surfaces implementation, we could make it even more generic, though.

I just copied this file, but yes, I'll fix it anyway.

Any reason why this doesn't use std::make_unique<>() and return a std::unique_ptr<>?

> +std::unique_ptr<PlatformDisplay> PlatformDisplay::s_sharedDisplay;

I'd prefer this moved off the class and into the PlatformDisplay::sharedDisplay() method.
Perhaps it would be wise to also use std::call_once(), given that in the future this might be accessed from multiple threads.

Not really, I changed that several times, it was initially a reference until I realized it could return nullptr.

Sure, very good points, I'll update the patch. Thanks!

It broke the WinCairo build, cc-ing the port maintainers.
