Which solution are you leaning towards for solving when to post the next
BackToBack BeginFrame?

I personally like the solution of a FrameSource::ReadyForNextBeginFrame.

[mithro-old, 2014/05/07 22:02:32]

Yeah, I'm leaning towards the ReadyForNextBeginFrame system too.

If we go this route, I'm wondering if ReadyForNextBeginFrame should also be a
signal to "commit" the "SetNeedsBeginFrame" state?

[brianderson, 2014/05/08 21:08:15]

I've changed my mind here. Let's just keep the single
SetNeedsBeginFrame(needs_begin_frame) entry point and force the scheduler to
call it whenever it's ready for the next BeginFrame. It'll work just like having
a ReadyForNextBeginFrame, but we don't really need an extra entry point.

When vsync is disabled, we can SetNeedsBeginFrame when we are finished with a
frame. When vsync is enabled, we can SetNeedsBeginFrame as part of the
BeginFrame.

[mithro-old, 2014/05/09 02:45:58]

Are you saying that SetNeedsBeginFrame should be edge triggered? Or it is still
level triggered but the level should be updated whenever the scheduler is ready
for a new frame?

What about the pipelining from the browser issue?

[brianderson, 2014/05/07 17:20:16]

Can we avoid exposing the underlying frame sources to the here with an enum or
two separate methods?

[mithro-old, 2014/05/07 22:02:32]

I originally started with an enum.

After adding the methods to allow access the internal FrameSources, it seemed
like it was just easier to use the pointers. This interface does extends to the
case of a "ManyFrameSource" which could have an arbitrary number of internal
frame source. 

Happy to go with whichever you think is a better interface.

[brianderson, 2014/05/08 00:55:58]

Do we need to expose the underlying sources at all?

[mithro-old, 2014/05/09 02:45:58]

As the DualFrameSource takes ownership of the sources it seems like a good idea?

We might want to pass a DualFrameSource around without also passing pointers to
it's internal sources?

The below seems kinda of bad?
------------------------------------------------------------
class A {

 FrameSource* frame_f_;
 FrameSource* frame_b_;
 scoped_ptr<FrameSource> frame_source_;

 A() : {
   frame_f_ = new FrameSourceA();
   frame_b_ = new FrameSourceB();
   frame_source_ make_scoped_ptr(new DualFrameSource(frame_f_, frame_b_));
 }

 void do() {
   frame_f_->XXXX();
 }
}
------------------------------------------------------------
verses
------------------------------------------------------------

class A {

 FrameSource* frame_f_;
 FrameSource* frame_b_;
 scoped_ptr<FrameSource> frame_source_;

 A() : {
   frame_source_ make_scoped_ptr(new DualFrameSource(new FrameSourceA(), new
FrameSourceB());
 }

 void do() {
   frame_source->SourceForeground()->XXXX();
 }
}
