client: Introduce proxy wrappers
Using the libwayland-client client API with multiple threads with thread local queues are prone to race conditions. The problem is that one thread can read and queue events after another thread creates a proxy but before it sets the queue. This may result in the event to the proxy being silently dropped, or potentially dispatched on the wrong thread had the creating thread set the implementation before setting the queue. This patch introduces API to solve this case by introducing "proxy wrappers". In short, a proxy wrapper is a wl_proxy struct that will never itself proxy any events, but may be used by the client to set a queue, and use it instead of the original proxy when sending requests that creates new proxies. When sending requests, the wrapper will work in the same way as the normal proxy object, but the proxy created by sending a request (for example wl_display.sync) will inherit to the same proxy queue as the wrapper. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=91273 Signed-off-by: Jonas Ådahl <jadahl@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Pekka Paalanen <pekka.paalanen@collabora.co.uk> Reviewed-by: Derek Foreman <derekf@osg.samsung.com>
