There is a seemingly unavoidable race condition when waiting for data on
the X11 display connection, as long as any other thread is also making
Xlib calls. The event data we are waiting for could be read by the
other thread as part of looking for the reply to its request, before our
poll has begun.
This commit replaces the X11 event sent by glfwPostEmptyEvent with
writing to an unnamed pipe. The race condition remains if other Xlib
calls are made on other threads, but glfwPostEmptyEvent should now be
race-free.
This commit is based on work by pcwalton, OlivierSohn, kovidgoyal and
joaodasilva.

The Wayland backend now requires xkbcommon-compose, which was added in
version 0.5.0. xkbcommon 0.5.0 was released in 2014.
This removes the non-composing fallback path for text input.
This removes the GLFW_VULKAN_STATIC CMake option and the
_GLFW_VULKAN_STATIC configuration macro and replaces them with the
glfwInitVulkanLoader function, allowing a single library binary to
provide both behaviors.
This is based on the design from PR #1374 by @pmuetschard.

This more or less restores the original custom layout where the TOC is
on the right side, with a CSS workaround added for portrait orientation.
The indentation of sub-lists in the TOC has been decreased.
The sizes of HTML headings and the "h0" div generated for each Doxygen
page have been adjusted to look better together now that they can meet.
A few headings have been shortened to fit better in the narrower TOC.
This was especially bad in the window guide, where the TOC ended up
having "Window related hints" and "Windows specific window hints" close
to one another.
This commit only fixes headings. There are likely issues in the actual
text as well.
This adds compile-time support for multiple platforms and runtime
detection of them. Window system related platform functions are now
called from shared code via the function pointer struct _GLFWplatform.
The timer, thread and module loading platform functions are still called
directly by name and the implementation chosen at link-time. These
functions are the same for any backend on a given OS, including the Null
backend.
The platforms are now enabled via CMake dependent options following the
GLFW_BUILD_<platform> pattern instead of a mix of automagic and ad-hoc
option names. There is no longer any option for the Null backend as it
is now always enabled.
Much of the struct stitching work in platform.h was based on an earlier
experimental branch for runtime platform selection by @ronchaine.
Every platform function related to windows, contexts, monitors, input,
event processing and Vulkan have been renamed so that multiple sets of
them can exist without colliding. Calls to these are now routed through
the _glfw.platform struct member. These changes makes up most of this
commit.
For Wayland and X11 the client library loading and display creation is
used to detect a running compositor/server. The XDG_SESSION_TYPE
environment variable is ignored for now, as X11 is still by far the more
complete implementation.

This adds the glfwInitAllocator function for specifying a custom memory
allocator to use instead of the C runtime library.
The allocator is a struct of type GLFWallocator with fields
corresponding to malloc, realloc and free, while the internal API
corresponds to calloc, realloc and free.
Heap allocation calls are filtered before reaching the user-provided
functions, so deallocation of NULL and allocations of zero bytes are not
passed on, reallocating NULL is transformed into an allocation and
reallocating to size zero is transformed into deallocation.
The clearing of a new block to zero is performed by the internal
calloc-like function.
Closes#544.
Fixes#1628.

This adds the GLFW_LIBRARY_TYPE CMake cache variable, which allows users
and higher-level projects to set what type of library GLFW is built as.
When not empty, this value overrides the standard BUILD_SHARED_LIBS
option for GLFW while still allowing it to control the type of other
libraries in a larger project.
This also allows building GLFW as an object library without adding dummy
source files (as required by Xcode) or producing unused library
binaries.
Projects using CMake 3.12 or later can link the resulting GLFW object
library normally using target_link_libraries.

In the compile guide, the "Dependencies for Linux and OSMesa" section

This makes USE_MSVC_RUNTIME_LIBRARY_DLL update the directory scope
CMAKE_MSVC_RUNTIME_LIBRARY variable instead of CMAKE_C_FLAGS on CMake
3.15 and later.
Solution proposed by @moritz-h.

On Windows 7, when GLFW framebuffer transparency and the DWM are enabled
but DWM transparency is disabled (i.e. when the Transparency setting is
disabled under Personalization > Color), the contents of the framebuffer
is combined with the last frame using additive blending instead of
replacing the previous contents.
This commit limits GLFW framebuffer transparency on Windows 7 to when
DWM transparency is enabled, removing the previous workaround of setting
a layered window color key that led to rendering artifacts.
Fixes#1512.
This makes joystick support initialize the first time a joystick
function is called, including those gamepad functions that are layered
on top of joystick functions.

The documentation for window hints had several features that had not
been carried over to init hints.
This also removes listing glfwInitHint for each hint, which was an
artifact of the removal of glfwInitHintString.
This adds GLFW_CONTEXT_DEBUG as a preferred alias for
the GLFW_OPENGL_DEBUG_CONTEXT window hint, as debug contexts are
defined for both OpenGL and OpenGL ES.
Related to #1720.
Re-worded documentation for the `GLFW_OPENGL_DEBUG_CONTEXT` window hint
to avoid implying that it only applies to OpenGL contexts. Added a link
to the relevant Khronos extension description.
Closes#1720.
The documentation claims that any extension loader library header
included before the GLFW one will prevent the inclusion of the
default OpenGL header. In reality this only worked if the loader
defined the canonical desktop OpenGL __gl_h_ inclusion guard and even
then relied on the OpenGL header to detect this.
This is the companion to 105cf32e0b, which
added the preprocessor logic to check for many known OpenGL and OpenGL
ES inclusion guards and not even attempt to include the default header
if any are present.
Some clarification of the language around header inclusion has also been
attempted, including making GLFW_INCLUDE_NONE more prominent.
Fixes#1695.
This moves the remaining bits of NSApplication initialization into
_glfwPlatformInit. As a side-effect of this, any command-line program
initializing GLFW will get a menu bar, which is not ideal.
If this has happened to you and a bisect led you here, please see the
GLFW_COCOA_MENUBAR init hint introduced in GLFW 3.3.
If this patch is a terrible idea, please get in touch in the 3.4 release
timeframe.
This is a replacement for 6e6805000a,
which attempts to preserve the existing menu bar creation behavior for
the 3.3-stable branch.
Fixes#1649.
This removes most references to GLU, replaces the legacy CMake cache
variables for OpenGL with the modern namespaced target and switches to
$() for command substitution.
Fixes#1580.
This removes the final dependency on CoreVideo, using a display link to
get the refresh rate of monitors where Core Graphics report a refresh
rate of zero. Instead we now query the I/O registry directly, similarly
to what the display link does at creation.
Thanks to @OneSadCookie for pointers to this solution.
This is a temporary fix while we determine if the color key workaround
should be removed completely. See issue thread for discussion.

Most context related hint and attribute links had copypaste errors.
The GLFW_CONTEXT_RELEASE_BEHAVIOR and GLFW_CONTEXT_NO_ERROR attributes
did not have guide documentation.
This changes the default value of the GLFW_BUILD_EXAMPLES and
GLFW_BUILD_TESTS CMake options to false when GLFW is being added as
a subdirectory by another CMake project.
If you want the previous behavior, force these options to true before
adding the GLFW subdirectory:
set(GLFW_BUILD_EXAMPLES ON CACHE BOOL "" FORCE)
set(GLFW_BUILD_TESTS ON CACHE BOOL "" FORCE)
add_subdirectory(path/to/glfw)
Doing this is backward compatible with earlier versions of GLFW.
The GLFW_BUILD_DOCS option is left enabled as it also requires Doxygen
to have any effect, is quicker to build and is more likely to be useful
when GLFW is a subproject.
This protocol is part of the core Wayland, but it is pretty badly
designed and is missing quite a few features, and is in the process of
being phased out in compositors. Its support in GLFW requires
duplicating pretty much every single window management codepath.
This bumps the required compositor versions to the ones which have
implemented xdg-shell, approximately two years ago, which seems sensible
to me.
This removes all dependencies from the GLFW test programs on the Vulkan
SDK.
It also removes support for linking the GLFW shared library (dynamic
library, DLL) against the Vulkan loader static library.
