776742 - FramebufferNativeWindow doesn't implement ANativeWindow::cancelBuffer

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

Description

[Marshall Culpepper [:marshall_law]]

On the emulator, When the b2g process tries to exit, a segfault happens when the emulator's EGL code tries to clean up it's internal buffers by calling eglCancelBuffer() -- unfortunately, ANativeWindow::cancelBuffer is not set by the FramebufferNativeWindow.

This is technically an AOSP bug, but we don't currently maintain forks of either platform_frameworks_base or platform_development (where this would be ideally fixed).

In the interest of maintainability, it is easy enough to set the cancelBuffer function pointer to a no-op so we can avoid segfaulting for now..

I meant to say this happens in the EGL surface destructor. You can see the code in question here:

egl_window_surface_t destructor:
https://github.com/android/platform_development/blob/master/tools/emulator/opengl/system/egl/egl.cpp#L297

notice the missing set of cancelBuffer in FramebufferNativeWindow.cpp:
https://github.com/android/platform_frameworks_base/blob/ics-plus-aosp/libs/ui/FramebufferNativeWindow.cpp#L139

Let's just make this a static function in this compilation unit,
not part of nsWindow.

r=me with that change.

I backed out this patch because of build bustage:

Looks like this is environment related -- this definitely compiles locally in the B2G emulator config. Phil mentioned that the Tinderboxes aren't currently setup for ICS: Bug 776045

I've confirmed this build error

* I've confirmed this build error occurs because of the GB toolchain in Tinderbox. ICS based toolchains are building this patch just fine..
