The third on-screen shape, and the one this whole line was built toward: Anland keeps Wayland,
input and the display, and the render server draws into the frames the display host allocates.
client (container) asks for a window surface with no window of its own
server (Android) takes a frame from the host over the host frame bridge and binds it as
the draw target of that surface
host (the app that
owns the screen) offers each frame, presents it when the server says it is drawn
The pieces, in the order a frame travels:
- Config: MOBILEGL_IPC_SURFACE=host beside =server, and HostFrameWindowSurfaces() as the one
predicate every client-side consumer asks (EGLImpl accepts a NULL window for either on-screen
shape, and BackendObject_Remote routes the creation to the server instead of sending a handle).
- Wire: the frame-local tag kHostFrameWindowBackend, the mirror of kServerOwnedWindowBackend - it
names no WindowBackend of the pull build's enum, and the server consumes it before the unpack
that would refuse it.
- Server: ApplyHostFrameWindowSurface replaces nothing, unlike the server-owned arm: there is no
window of either side's to substitute, because the backend takes the frames from the bridge.
- Backend: SurfaceKind::HostFrame, InitHostFrameSurface (the EGL context comes from the pbuffer
path; what changes is what it draws INTO) and PresentHostFrame (glFinish, answer the host, take
the next frame) - and SwapEGLBuffers routes to it, because a host-framed surface has no
swapchain to swap: the host is what puts the frame on the glass.
HostFrameTarget and HostFrameBridge, committed just before this, are what the backend uses.
Compiles and links in this tree (libMobileGL.so and libMobileGLServer.so, exit 0). What is NOT
here yet, and is the next thing: the run that puts Plasma on the phone's screen through it.
Treat valid-display no-surface eglMakeCurrent calls as EGL release requests, keep EGLState and backend current records consistent across threads, and rebind the native DirectGLES EGL context during attach/release.
Add EGLState coverage for cross-thread owner transfer and same-thread release/reattach behavior.
