    Bump winit to 0.24.0 (compare)

fuzbuz on Freenode At some point the rendering code has to turn it back into a raw handle for OS reasons, I can just add a function that passes an already-raw-handle down to that level.
fuzbuz on Freenode But it would be nice if I didn't have to do that.
UndeadLeech on Freenode Is that a crate, or did you write the rendering library yourself? Fundamentally taking just a winit window for rendering doesn't make a ton of sense.
UndeadLeech on Freenode Winit's purpose is to manage your windows and window events. If you don't have winit manage your windows, there's little point in using it.
fuzbuz on Freenode I have a rendering crate that is used in several Rust-only projects. The rendering crate takes a winit Window to provide the rendering context as the Rust-only projects use winit for managing the windows and window events. A new project, mostly in C++, wants to also use the rendering code and can provide me with a raw window handle.

@matrixbot
fuzbuz on Freenode As I'm making the C FFI interface for the rendering crate, I need to either turn that raw handle into a winit Window or I need to make changes to the rendering to allow using raw handles. The former is cleaner but the latter isn't a problem.
fuzbuz on Freenode I'm just curious if there is a way to do the former that I am failing to discover by reading the docs

Hi. I found winit the other day and it looks like a good alternative for SDL2. My question is, is it generally OK to run the event loop in another thread, send them back to the main thread and actually handle them there?
matrixbot
@matrixbot
UndeadLeech on Freenode If by generally you mean on all platforms, then no.
UndeadLeech on Freenode Which should be documented in winit's documentation.
Keithcat1
@Keithcat1
What happens if I try?
Keithcat1
@Keithcat1
If it's documented, it's not obvious
matrixbot
@matrixbot
UndeadLeech on Freenode https://docs.rs/winit/0.23.0/winit/event_loop/struct.EventLoop.html#method.new
UndeadLeech on Freenode I don't see how it could be any more clear tbh.
Keithcat1
@Keithcat1
Oh thanks. But all that means is that I create the event loop on the main thread and then start a new thread.
matrixbot
@matrixbot
UndeadLeech on Freenode And then?
UndeadLeech on Freenode You're aware that EventLoop is !Send + !Sync, right?
Keithcat1
@Keithcat1
It seems to work if I run the event loop and send events to another thread.
matrixbot
@matrixbot
UndeadLeech on Freenode I mean you can of course move all the events without a lifetime.
UndeadLeech on Freenode But I don't see why you would ever do that.
UndeadLeech on Freenode Since that just increases latency.

Ralith > <@freenode_fuzbuz:matrix.org> As I'm making the C FFI interface for the rendering crate, I need to either turn that raw handle into a winit Window or I need to make changes to the rendering to allow using raw handles. The former is cleaner but the latter isn't a problem.

the latter is definitely the idiomatic thing to do, fwiw; this is the problem raw-window-handle was intended to solve in the first place

arturkovacs I'm trying to figure out how can I get my winit application to open files that the user double-clicks on macOS
arturkovacs Has anyone made a winit app that can do this?
matrixbot
@matrixbot
Ralith I don't know macos in particular, but on most platforms that works by associating your app with a file type in some platform-specific database, nothing to do with winit
matrixbot
@matrixbot
arturkovacs Yeah, not an issue, I can associate the filetype to my app but the problem relies in that macOS doesn't seem to use the program arguments to specify the file that the user selected. Instead there's an event that the application receives that tells the path to the files
matrixbot
@matrixbot
Ralith ah, interesting; might be a missing feature?
matrixbot
@matrixbot
UndeadLeech on Freenode arturkovacs: You sure it sends an event and doesn't reexecute the program?
matrixbot
@matrixbot
arturkovacs UndeadLeech: What I meant by event is that this function gets called: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appkit/nsapplicationdelegate/1428612-application?language=objc
UndeadLeech on Freenode That seems unnecessarily complicated, so that's probably how it works on macOS, yes. :)
arturkovacs Haha. As I was looking around I found other callback that can be registered for essentially the same thing from what I could tell but this was the one that worked when I tested with a minimal Objective-C test app
arturkovacs * Haha. As I was looking around I found other callbacks that can be registered for essentially the same thing from what I could tell but this was the one that worked when I tested with a minimal Objective-C test app
matrixbot
@matrixbot
arturkovacs Based on the feedback I got so far it seems to me that this is a missing feature so I opened: rust-windowing/winit#1751

Will set_inner_size emit WindowEvent::Resized?
matrixbot
@matrixbot
UndeadLeech on Freenode IIRC "on some systems". I don't remember if it does it everywhere.
UndeadLeech on Freenode It certainly can emit it.

ildar francesca, thank you for inviting me here
ildar Anyone using or aware of https://github.com/rust-windowing/android-ndk-rs/ ?
kchibisov on Freenode Is Francesca here though?
ildar Is it worth asking here about it?
kchibisov on Freenode I think, I'm not aware of any other channel to talk about winit/glutin.
kchibisov on Freenode ildar: if anything, I'd suggest to ask Android maintainers https://github.com/rust-windowing/winit/wiki/Testers-and-Contributors

ildar > <@freenode_kchibisov:matrix.org> Is Francesca here though?

Dunno

kchibisov on Freenode Since I'm not sure if they are here.
ildar Ahh! Ok, thanks
matrixbot
@matrixbot
ildar Then one general question: if i want to write an app without UI, then i should use https://github.com/rust-windowing/android-ndk-rs/, right?
ildar And ui app would require Winit?
ildar Demo apk available?

@matrixbot
kchibisov on Freenode I'm not sure, I have no clue how android is supported in winit.
kchibisov on Freenode I can only speak for Linux backends.
