This patch allows embedders to split the Flutter layer tree into multiple
chunks. These chunks are meant to be composed one on top of another. This gives
embedders a chance to interleave their own contents between these chunks.
The Flutter embedder API already provides hooks for the specification of
textures for the Flutter engine to compose within its own hierarchy (for camera
feeds, video, etc..). However, not all embedders can render the contents of such
sources into textures the Flutter engine can accept. Moreover, this composition
model may have overheads that are non-trivial for certain use cases. In such
cases, the embedder may choose to specify multiple render target for Flutter to
render into instead of just one.
The use of this API allows embedders to perform composition very similar to the
iOS embedder. This composition model is used on that platform for the embedding
of UIKit view such and web view and map views within the Flutter hierarchy.
However, do note that iOS also has threading configurations that are currently
not available to custom embedders.
The embedder API updates in this patch are ABI stable and existing embedders
will continue to work are normal. For embedders that want to enable this
composition mode, the API is designed to make it easy to opt into the same in an
incremental manner.
Rendering of contents into the “root” rendering surface remains unchanged.
However, now the application can push “platform views” via a scene builder.
These platform views need to handled by a FlutterCompositor specified in a new
field at the end of the FlutterProjectArgs struct.
When a new platform view in introduced within the layer tree, the compositor
will ask the embedder to create a new render target for that platform view.
Render targets can currently be OpenGL framebuffers, OpenGL textures or software
buffers. The type of the render target returned by the embedder must be
compatible with the root render surface. That is, if the root render surface is
an OpenGL framebuffer, the render target for each platform view must either be a
texture or a framebuffer in the same OpenGL context. New render target types as
well as root renderers for newer APIs like Metal & Vulkan can and will be added
in the future. The addition of these APIs will be done in an ABI & API stable
manner.
As Flutter renders frames, it gives the embedder a callback with information
about the position of the various platform views in the effective hierarchy.
The embedder is then meant to put the contents of the render targets that it
setup and had previously given to the engine onto the screen (of course
interleaving the contents of the platform views).
Unit-tests have been added that test not only the structure and properties of
layer hierarchy given to the compositor, but also the contents of the texels
rendered by a test compositor using both the OpenGL and software rendering
backends.
Fixes b/132812775

After pre-roll we know if there have been any mutations made to the IOS embedded UIViews. If there are any mutations and the thread configuration is such chat the mutations will be committed on an illegal thread (GPU thread), we merge the threads and keep them merged until the lease expires. The lease is currently set to expire after 10 frames of no mutations. If there are any mutations in the interim we extend the lease.
TaskRunnerMerger will ultimately be responsible for enforcing the correct thread configurations.
This configuration will be inactive even after this change since still use the same thread when we create the iOS engine. That is slated to change in the coming PRs.
Test: Ran test programs on Fuchsia and dumped Scenic scene graph using
`fx shell cat /hub/c/scenic.cmx/*/out/debug/dump-scenes`
Inspected scene graph to confirm removal of ShapeNodes.
FL-284 #done
Scenic has now fully transitioned to clipping by adding lists
of planes to Nodes; the old approach of adding a ShapeNode
"part" is now a no-op, and is safe to remove.
This is part of a bigger change that will facilitate us
to act on this `RasterStatus`. The specific case is where
after pre-roll we might decide to want to merge the threads
and re-submit the frame -- `RasterStatus::kResubmit` can then
let us achieve this result.
* ExternalViewEmbedder can CancelFrame after pre-roll
- Resets the state so next pre-roll can be successful.
- Commit any pending `CATransaction` so we don't create
nested transactions.
* Update flow/embedded_views.h
* refactoring to move the mutator stack handling to preroll
* more review fixes
* Add support for external view embedded to know if it has changed
* remove the need to reset
* address comments
* Rename to HasPendingViewOperations
This reverts commit ebb5b909fb.
