Makes BinaryMessenger available from FlutterEngine, rather than just the plugin registrar. This allows for method channels directly in applications without building them as plugins, and matches the other platforms.
Requires some restructuring of code and GN targets in the client wrappers to make the internals in the shared section usable by the implementations of platform-specific parts of the wrappers. Also fixes a latent issue with EnableInputBlocking symbols being declared but not defined for Windows that came up during testing of the restructing.

* Handle glfwGetPrimaryMonitor returning nullptr
[glfwGetPrimaryMonitor](https://www.glfw.org/docs/3.3/group__monitor.html#ga721867d84c6d18d6790d64d2847ca0b1) may return NULL in non-error cases when no monitor is found. This started to happen recently with an update to the linux distribution, see internal b/162545223.
Handling this case avoids a crash and instead assumes a pixel density.
Changes the interaction between the view controller and engine in both the C API and
the engine API, so that there's always an engine (as on other platforms) rather than
the engine APIs being specific to headless mode.
While adjusting the C API, this does a large cleanup:
- Renames all methods to follow a `FlutterDesktop` (prefix) + "class" name + method-style name.
E.g., `FlutterDestkopViewControllerCreate` rather than `FlutterDesktopCreateViewController`.
This makes it easier to see what functions operate on which conceptual "object" in the API.
- Reorders and groups them by the object they operate on.

The Windows, Linux, and GLFW embeddings (which all share a common code
ancestry) pass TextInput.setEditingState selection base and extents
straight through to the shared text model class. The model expects those
values to be valid, but the framework sends -1/-1 for "invalid"
selections, which happen for some empty text cases (e.g.,
TextFieldController.clear()).
This translates those invalid selection values to an empty selection at
the start of the string, as expected by the model.
Fixes https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/59140
The embedder.h API layer is an implementation detail of the desktop
embeddings, not part of the public API surface, so should not be part of
the public symbol list for those libraries.
The recent refactoring to support headless mode accidentally passed
nullptr instead of the window (if any) to the platform handler that
manages clipboard interactions, causing it to be broken.
Fixes https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/58035
This does some long-overdue refactoring of the spaghetti code that grew in the GLFW embedding to begin providing a clearer separation between the engine and the window. It is now possible to register plugins, and run the runloop, on a headless engine, which makes headless mode much more usable. This is useful in some automated testing environments.
There is more refactoring that should be done in the future, but this is a good incremental point to stop as the PR is already large, and it provides useful new functionality as-is.
The existing logic incorrectly factored out a check that there were arguments too early, applying it to any message not already handled (including unhandled methods, such as methods added after the initial implementation) and thus failing if any unhandled message had no arguments.

The C++ text input model used by Windows and Linux currently uses UTF-32. The intention was to facilitate handling of arrow keys, backspace/delete, etc., however since part of what is synchronized with the engine is cursor+selection offsets, and those offsets are defined in terms of UTF-16 code units, this causes very bad interactions with the framework-side model.
This converts to using UTF-16, rather than UTF-32, so that the offsets align with the framework. It also adds surrogate pair handling to the operations that adjust indexes, to avoid breaking surrogate pairs. (Arbitrary grapheme cluster handling is out of scope for this PR; while definitely desirable in the long term, surrogate pair handling is much more critical since improper handling yields invalid UTF-16, which breaks the text field).
This partially fixes https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/55014. A framework-side fix is also necessary (since currently both the engine and the framework attempt to handle arrow keys, which is another out-of-scope-for-this-PR issue), but even without the framework fix this dramatically improves the cursor behavior on Windows when there are surrogate pairs somewhere in the string since at least the two sides agree on what indexes mean.
Includes minor plumbing changes to the text input plumbing on Windows so that we're not pointlessly converting from UTF-16 to UTF-32 and then back to UTF-16.
- Adds an explicit option for not building the GLFW embedding.
- Disables GLFW by default on Windows, where it's no longer the
uploaded embedding.
- Moves the X11 pkg-config, which is only used by the GLFW embedding,
behind the GLFW build flag.
Relands #17489 with a fix for the unit test flake.
The previous unit test relied on the new instance not being created at the same memory address, which isn't guaranteed.
Seems to have triggered flaky failures on the Windows bot since landing.
Example failure:
[ RUN ] PluginRegistrarTest.ManagerRemovesOnDestruction
c:\b\s\w\ir\cache\builder\src\flutter\shell\platform\common\cpp\client_wrapper\plugin_registrar_unittests.cc(149): error: Expected: (manager->GetRegistrar<PluginRegistrar>(dummy_registrar_handle)) != (first_wrapper), actual: 000002400A90E3D0 vs 000002400A90E3D0
This reverts commit faf44fed5a5913dcbeebd7ead8e3933a5e72a6fc.
This makes two changes:
- Adds a way to register a callback for when a FlutterDesktopPluginRegistrarRef is destroyed, and implements the logic to call it in the Windows and Linux embeddings.
- Adds a class to the C++ wrapper that handles making a singleton owning PluginRegistrar wrappers, and destroying them when the underlying reference goes away, to avoid needing that boilerplate code in every plugin's source.

The JSON codec is awkward to use in the wrapper (since the client has to build and link one of the JSON libraries to do so). Since it would be very cumbersome to wrap in a C API, and there's essentially no reason to use it instead of the standard codec, this removes it from the wrapper entirely.
Since some system channels (internal to the engine) still use it, it's moved into common/cpp instead of being eliminated entirely. Internally we always use RapidJSON though, so the jsoncpp implementation is removed. Also adds some unit test coverage, since there wasn't any.
Fixes#30669
Currently every Linux runner has this code to allow relative resource paths; this moves it into the framework so that any embedder can get this behavior without that code needing to be in the template.
Rolls buildroot to pick up std::filesystem support in our libc++
Skia expects an EGL context, but GLFW was defaulting to non-EGL, which
causes eglGetCurrentDisplay to fail--since the context wasn't made
current via EGL--with new versions of libglvnd. (It may have worked only
by accident with previous versions).
Fixes https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/47954
This was only necessary when the Engine had to build in multiple buildroots
where the sources where checked out at different paths relative to the
buildroot. This is no longer the case and there are already cases GN rules
have been written that mix and match variable usage with the direct
specification of the path to the Flutter sources relative to the sole buildroot.
* Do not pass a milliseconds::max() timeout that will overflow when converted
to nanoseconds
* Avoid holding the task_queue_mutex_ while calling glfwWaitEventsTimeout
* Use a signed type to hold the difference between a task's timestamp and
the current engine time

Makes the plugin registration structure consistent with macOS. This will
be used in generated plugin registrant files rather than a specific
implemenation class, so this helps unblock the creation of generated
registrants on Windows and Linux.
Significantly improves the behavior of non-ASCII text input on Windows. Correctly
processes incoming character events as UTF-16, and for now uses UTF-32 for
the text model so that the existing index-based logic will work much more often.
Future work is still needed, but this will handle far more cases correctly.
Adds a flag to create non-resizeable windows.
Since the number of parameters is getting awkward, extracts
window-related parameters and engine-related parameters into structs for
clarity. This also removes some duplication in method signatures.
The window parameters struct change is also made to the C++ wrapper,
making this a breaking change for the runners.
Fixes https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/37623
Rather than running the runloop forever, have the API expose an incremental runloop. This allows clients to do other processing if they need it.
This allows for removing the odd construction of having knowledge of GTK event handling built into the library even though nothing in the library uses it; instead runner applications that use GTK plugins (such as FDE's testbed) can do that processing at the application level instead.
Start work on flutter/flutter#30726 by adding an alternative win32 shell platform implementation for Windows that is not based on GLFW and that uses LIBANGLE for rendering and native win32 windowing and input. This change does not replace the GLFW implementation but rather runs side by side with it producing a secondary flutter_windows_win32.dll artifact. The following items must be added to attain parity with the GLFW implementation:
- Custom task scheduling
- Support for keyboard modifier keys
- Async texture uploads
- Correct high DPI handling on Windows versions < 1703
and will be added in subsequent changes.
embedder.h is a C API, so has no namespace, and only uses 'Flutter' as a
prefix for most symbol names. This creates potential collisions with
other code; for instance, FlutterEngine is the name of a type in
embedder.h, but also an ObjC class in the iOS Flutter API.
This adds a macro that can be set to prefix symbol names, allowing
clients (notably, the macOS embedding) to adjust the names used by the
embedding API internally without breaking ABI or API compatibility for
the standard engine build.
Currently the macro is only applied to FlutterEngine, since that's the
symbol that is currently at issue, but it can be expanded to other
symbols in the future.
In some cases, the window needs to be redrawn without a resize. This
adds a callback for that case to trigger a repaint.
Since there's no embedding API for repainting, trigger it with a window
metrics event using the current window size.
