The main advantage of SPDX license identifiers over the traditional
license headers is that it's more difficult to overlook inappropriate
licenses for kwin, for example GPL 3. We also don't have to copy a
lot of boilerplate text.
In order to create this change, I ran licensedigger -r -c from the
toplevel source directory.
Summary:
Currently code base of kwin can be viewed as two pieces. One is very
ancient, and the other one is more modern, which uses new C++ features.
The main problem with the ancient code is that it was written before
C++11 era. So, no override or final keywords, lambdas, etc.
Quite recently, KDE compiler settings were changed to show a warning if
a virtual method has missing override keyword. As you might have already
guessed, this fired back at us because of that ancient code. We had
about 500 new compiler warnings.
A "solution" was proposed to that problem - disable -Wno-suggest-override
and the other similar warning for clang. It's hard to call a solution
because those warnings are disabled not only for the old code, but also
for new. This is not what we want!
The main argument for not actually fixing the problem was that git
history will be screwed as well because of human factor. While good git
history is a very important thing, we should not go crazy about it and
block every change that somehow alters git history. git blame allows to
specify starting revision for a reason.
The other argument (human factor) can be easily solved by using tools
such as clang-tidy. clang-tidy is a clang-based linter for C++. It can
be used for various things, e.g. fixing coding style(e.g. add missing
braces to if statements, readability-braces-around-statements check),
or in our case add missing override keywords.

Summary:
Declare it in the source file for internal usage of ApplicationX11 and
Compositor classes. Additionally use modern style connect and do other
code style updates.
Test Plan: Manually in X session and Wayland windowed.

Summary:
This change ensures that kwin_wayland does not pull in KCrash. We
don't want and need KCrash in the Wayland case. If KWin crashes the
session goes down - restarting doesn't make any sense, we need to
relogin.
Similar drkonqi just doesn't work as it doesn't have a windowing
system to connect to. After all the windowing system just crashed.
Also the AlternativeWM dialog doesn't make any sense on Wayland.
Similar thought: there is no windowing system to show this nice dialog.
Overall it's better to have system default behavior
(e.g. systemd-coredump) than using KCrash in the very special case of
kwin_wayland.

The event filter is only used to let Qt compose a QKeyEvent from an
x11 event for grabbed key events. On Wayland we don't need it as we
can generate good QKeyEvents ourself. This means less event processing
as the events no longer need to pass through the
Workspace::workspaceEvent.
In addition it fixes a regression in LockScreenTest::testEffectsKeyboard
caused by the LockScreenEventFilter sending a QKeyEvent to KSldApp.
This event got intercepted by the global event filter making the test
rightfully fail.
All of kwin except the main function goes into a new (private) library
called kwin. Two new kdeinit_executables are created:
* kwin_x11
* kwin_wayland
Both only use a dedicated main_x11.cpp and main_wayland.cpp with the
main function and a KWin::Application subclass and linking the new
kwin library.
The main idea behind this is to be able to perform more sane sanity
checks. E.g. on Wayland we don't need to first test whether we can
create an X11 connection. Instead we should abort if we cannot connect
to the Wayland display. Also the multi-head checks are not needed on
Wayland, etc. etc. As most of that code is in the main function to
simplify it's better to split.
This will also make it easier to diverge more easily in future. The
Wayland variant can introduce more suited command line arguments for
example. This already started by having the --replace option only
available in X11 variant. The Wayland backend is still a window manager,
but doesn't claim the manager selection.
