Expand description

A trait implemented by types that provide access to capability globals.

The returned global must be fully compatible with the provided API_COMPAT_VERSION generic argument. For example:

  • A global that binds to wl_compositor with maximum version 4 could implement ProvidesBoundGlobal<WlCompositor, 4>, ProvidesBoundGlobal<WlCompositor, 3>, ProvidesBoundGlobal<WlCompositor, 2>, and ProvidesBoundGlobal<WlCompositor, 1> because versions 2-4 only add additional requests to the wl_surface API.
  • A global that binds to wl_compositor with maximum version 5 may only implement ProvidesBoundGlobal<WlCompositor, 5> because version 5 makes using wl_surface::attach with a nonzero offset a protocol error. A caller who is only aware of the version 4 API risks causing these protocol errors if it uses surfaces created by such a global.

Changes that cause compatibility breaks include:

  • Adding a new event to the global or to any object created by the global.
  • Adding a new requirement to an existing request.

The resulting global may have a version lower than API_COMPAT_VERSION if, at runtime, the compositor does not support the new version. Clients should either be prepared to handle earlier versions of the protocol or use ProvidesBoundGlobal::with_min_version to produce an error in this case.

It is permitted to implement ProvidesBoundGlobal for versions that are higher than the maximum version you bind. When rustc gains the ability to constrain const parameters with integer bounds (where API_COMPAT_VERSION >= 5), implementations of this trait should be provided by specifying a lower bound for the compat version in order to avoid requiring version updates be done in lock-step.
