Wayland proxy

Wayland proxy is load balancer between Wayland compositor and Wayland client. It prevents Wayland client to be disconnected by Wayland compositor if Wayland client is busy or under heavy load.

This C++ implementation is based on Rust one at https://github.com/the8472/weyland-p5000

See Mozilla Firefox bugs for details (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1743144)

Usage

Wayland proxy can be run as stand alone application or as a library. Stand alone application can be build by compile script at src dir and then run Wayland application as

  ./wayland-proxy application_path

Library version can be attached to your Wayland application. Create proxy BEFORE you connect app to Wayland display (usually gtk_init() or wl_display_connect() calls).

  // Enable logging
  WaylandProxy::SetVerbose(true);

  // Create and run Wayland proxy in extra thread
  std::unique_ptr<WaylandProxy> proxy = WaylandProxy::Create();
  if (proxy) {    
    proxy->RunThread();
  }

Terminate and clean up proxy:

  proxy = nullptr;
