  • Add documentation
  • Use enums
  • Make _FlEngine object
  • Moved FFI code to the bottom of the file - it can't be easily split into a separate file without being made public.

It looks like this pull request may not have tests. Please make sure to add tests or get an explicit test exemption before merging.

If you are not sure if you need tests, consider this rule of thumb: the purpose of a test is to make sure someone doesn't accidentally revert the fix. Ask yourself, is there anything in your PR that you feel it is important we not accidentally revert back to how it was before your fix?

Reviewers: Read the Tree Hygiene page and make sure this patch meets those guidelines before LGTMing. If you believe this PR qualifies for a test exemption, contact "@test-exemption-reviewer" in the #hackers channel in Discord (don't just cc them here, they won't see it!). The test exemption team is a small volunteer group, so all reviewers should feel empowered to ask for tests, without delegating that responsibility entirely to the test exemption group.

Code Review

This pull request refactors the FFI code for windowing in packages/flutter/lib/src/widgets/_window_linux.dart. The changes include introducing enums (_GtkWindowType, _GdkWindowState, _GdkWindowTypeHint) to replace integer constants, which are then used throughout the file. The _GdkWindow.getState method is modified to return a Set of _GdkWindowState enums instead of an integer bitfield. A new _FlEngine class is introduced to wrap the engine pointer, and _FlView is updated to accept an _FlEngine instance. Documentation has also been added to several classes and constructors. My feedback consists of a single suggestion to correct a typo in a documentation comment.

when I set the 'flutter config --enable-windowing' and use the RegularWindowController;
I met some problem

my pc system is windows 10, when I running the multi-window , the dwm.exe will be crashed, the screen will be flickering, when i run the app in windows 11, all is fine .

this problem exists at least four or five month.

I don't know this problem is known by your team, maybe it's important for your team to fix this problem
