Hi Mike, Phil,
Here's a fix for the following task -
http://java.net/jira/browse/MACOSX_PORT-766
The purpose of the fix is to create purely off-screen CALayer surface
that isn't tied to an NSView or NSWindow (needs to be done before
proceeding with MACOSX_PORT-539).
Webrev - http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~dcherepanov/macosx-port-766.0/
Some brief notes regarding the changes:
- the fix disables the initial implementation for the CALayer-based
rendering (pushed as a part of
http://java.net/jira/browse/MACOSX_PORT-77) as this implementation tries
to reuse the existing CGLWindowSurfaceData class (to implement
intermediate buffer) and it automatically becomes tied to a NSView/NSWindow.
- the new approach introduces new CGLLayerSurfaceData class - this type
of surface serves as an intermediate buffer between the flusher thread
and the AppKit thread. And the new CGLLayerSurfaceData class allows us
to have the implementation of the CGLLayer class independent from the
CGLWindowSurfaceData class.
Could you please take a look at this? Thanks in advance for any review.
Thanks,
Dmitry
