  \brief Minimal CPP is an example that demonstrates how to write a Wayland compositor in C++.
  \ingroup qtwaylandcompositor-examples

  Minimal CPP is a minimalistic compositor example implementing a complete Qt Wayland Compositor
  using C++. The C++ API of QtWaylandCompositor is low-level and intended for specialized
  applications, such as supporting hardware features, or if Qt Quick is not available.  The QML API
  offers more convenience and functionality. For comparison, the
  \l{Minimal QML}{Minimal QML example} implements more functionality with 30 lines of QML than this
  example does in 300+ lines.

  This example is split in two parts. The Wayland logic is contained in the \c Compositor class,
  and the user interface is in the \c Window class.

  \section1 Window

  The \c Window class is fairly straight-forward. To display the Wayland surfaces, it iterates
  through the compositor's views and renders them on the screen using \l QOpenGLTextureBlitter:

  \snippet minimal-cpp/window.cpp paintGL

  All keyboard and mouse events are delivered to the compositor. For example:

  \snippet minimal-cpp/window.cpp mousePressEvent

  \section1 Compositor

  The \c Compositor class is more complex, since it has to implement much of the logic that would
  be handled by \l[QML]{WaylandCompositor} and \l[QML]{WaylandQuickItem} in a QML-based compositor.

  The \c create function sets up the compositor, using the IviApplication, which is the most basic
  shell extension. The function is called after the OpenGL context has been initialized:

  \snippet minimal-cpp/compositor.cpp create

  All the logic for mouse events and keyboard focus has to be implemented manually, including
  implicit mouse grabs (sending all mouse moves to the surface that received the initial mouse
  press). Note that mouse press events in the Wayland protocol do not contain the mouse position,
  so we always have to send a mouse move when we reveive a mouse press:

  \snippet minimal-cpp/compositor.cpp handleMousePress

  For a mouse release, we end the implicit grab and notify the surface at the current mouse position:

  \snippet minimal-cpp/compositor.cpp handleMousePress

  When we are notified of a new surface, we create a \c View to keep track of it, and connect
  signals so we can handle updates.

  \snippet minimal-cpp/compositor.cpp surfaceCreated

  The \c View class subclasses QWaylandView, which represents a specific view of a surface. The
  \l {QWaylandView::advance}{advance} function updates the view's current buffer and returns true
  if there is new content. The \c getTexture function makes the buffer contents available as an
  OpenGL texture for the benefit of the \c Window class:

  \snippet minimal-cpp/compositor.cpp getTexture
