/**
* Different elements of a web pages are rendered into separate "layers" before
* they are flattened into the final image that is brought to the screen.
* See Layers.h for more informations about layers and why we use retained
* structures.
* Most of the documentation for layers is directly in the source code in the
* form of doc comments. An overview can also be found in the the wiki:
* https://wiki.mozilla.org/Gecko:Overview#Graphics
*
*
* # Main interfaces and abstractions
*
* - Layer, ShadowableLayer and LayerComposite
* (see Layers.h and ipc/ShadowLayers.h)
* - CompositableClient and CompositableHost
* (client/CompositableClient.h composite/CompositableHost.h)
* - TextureClient and TextureHost
* (client/TextureClient.h composite/TextureHost.h)
* - TextureSource
* (composite/TextureHost.h)
* - Forwarders
* (ipc/CompositableForwarder.h ipc/ShadowLayers.h)
* - Compositor
* (this file)
* - IPDL protocols
* (.ipdl files under the gfx/layers/ipc directory)
*
* The *Client and Shadowable* classes are always used on the content thread.
* Forwarders are always used on the content thread.
* The *Host and Shadow* classes are always used on the compositor thread.
* Compositors, TextureSource, and Effects are always used on the compositor
* thread.
* Most enums and constants are declared in LayersTypes.h and CompositorTypes.h.
*
*
* # Texture transfer
*
* Most layer classes own a Compositable plus some extra information like
* transforms and clip rects. They are platform independent.
* Compositable classes manipulate Texture objects and are reponsible for
* things like tiling, buffer rotation or double buffering. Compositables
* are also platform-independent. Examples of compositable classes are:
* - ImageClient
* - CanvasClient
* - ContentHost
* - etc.
* Texture classes (TextureClient and TextureHost) are thin abstractions over
* platform-dependent texture memory. They are maniplulated by compositables
* and don't know about buffer rotations and such. The purposes of TextureClient
* and TextureHost are to synchronize, serialize and deserialize texture data.
* TextureHosts provide access to TextureSources that are views on the
* Texture data providing the necessary api for Compositor backend to composite
* them.
*
* Compositable and Texture clients and hosts are created using factory methods.
* They should only be created by using their constructor in exceptional
* circumstances. The factory methods are located:
* TextureClient - CompositableClient::CreateTextureClient
* TextureHost - TextureHost::CreateTextureHost, which calls a
* platform-specific function, e.g., CreateTextureHostOGL
* CompositableClient - in the appropriate subclass, e.g.,
* CanvasClient::CreateCanvasClient
* CompositableHost - CompositableHost::Create
*
*
* # IPDL
*
* If off-main-thread compositing (OMTC) is enabled, compositing is performed
* in a dedicated thread. In some setups compositing happens in a dedicated
* process. Documentation may refer to either the compositor thread or the
* compositor process.
* See explanations in ShadowLayers.h.
*
*
* # Backend implementations
*
* Compositor backends like OpenGL or flavours of D3D live in their own directory
* under gfx/layers/. To add a new backend, implement at least the following
* interfaces:
* - Compositor (ex. CompositorOGL)
* - TextureHost (ex. SharedTextureHostOGL)
* Depending on the type of data that needs to be serialized, you may need to
* add specific TextureClient implementations.

/**
* Common interface for compositor backends.
*
* Compositor provides a cross-platform interface to a set of operations for
* compositing quads. Compositor knows nothing about the layer tree. It must be
* told everything about each composited quad - contents, location, transform,
* opacity, etc.
*
* In theory it should be possible for different widgets to use the same
* compositor. In practice, we use one compositor per window.
*
* # Usage
*
* For an example of a user of Compositor, see LayerManagerComposite.
*
* Initialization: create a Compositor object, call Initialize().
*
* Destruction: destroy any resources associated with the compositor, call
* Destroy(), delete the Compositor object.
*
* Composition:
* call BeginFrame,
* for each quad to be composited:
* call MakeCurrent if necessary (not necessary if no other context has been
* made current),
* take care of any texture upload required to composite the quad, this step
* is backend-dependent,
* construct an EffectChain for the quad,
* call DrawQuad,
* call EndFrame.
* If the user has to stop compositing at any point before EndFrame, call
* AbortFrame.
* If the compositor is usually used for compositing but compositing is
* temporarily done without the compositor, call EndFrameForExternalComposition
* after compositing each frame so the compositor can remain internally
* consistent.
*
* By default, the compositor will render to the screen, to render to a target,
* call SetTargetContext or SetRenderTarget, the latter with a target created
* by CreateRenderTarget or CreateRenderTargetFromSource.
*
* The target and viewport methods can be called before any DrawQuad call and
* affect any subsequent DrawQuad calls.
