You know, all that code and documentation I just wrote in #6107? Let's throw it
awayinto a library, so thatwgpu
,ash
,vulkano
,i-slint-renderer-skia
and so on can all benefit from it.raw-window-metal
is that library (existed previously, I've updated it in rust-windowing/raw-window-metal#19).This makes Wgpu depend transitively on
objc2
, so the concerns about doing that apply here as well, see also #5641.Description
Use the
raw-window-metal
crate to do layer creation. This uses much the same approach as we do currently, except that it also uses observers internally, which fixes resizing on high DPI screens when using Wgpu together with anNSView
using auto-layout.Though it probably won't matter much, it's also more reliable to update the scale factor this way, rather than haphazardly in
configure
.The logic in
raw-window-metal
could be re-implemented in Wgpu to avoid the dependency, however I deemed it complex enough that I thought it wiser to centralize the implementation in one place.Testing
See #6107 (comment).
