This seems a bit odd and smells fishy:
examples/server_example_canonical_window_manager.cpp

Why any change to examples? The policy and logic for resize constraints should be entirely in src/server/. Nothing should need to be implemented by consumers of CanonicalWindowManager. The goal is to implement WM policy once (src/server/), and not in each shell.

The default policy should just use best fit and modify any requested dimensions so that they satisfy the constraints. For example:
* Policy is 16:9 aspect ratio and shell tries to set 80x80 -> new size is 80x45
* Policy is increments of 8x16 (a terminal) and shell tries to set 812x323 -> new size is 808x320 or 816x336 (depending on the previous dimensions and direction of resize).

So the goal is policy enforcement with the simplest interface possible, which is no code change required to any shell.

470 +bool mir_surface_spec_set_max_aspect_ratio(MirSurfaceSpec* spec, unsigned x, unsigned y)

Similarly, when you set the resize granularity, it should be a single function instead of two:

236 +bool mir_surface_spec_set_width_inc(MirSurfaceSpec* spec, unsigned width_inc);
249 +bool mir_surface_spec_set_height_inc(MirSurfaceSpec* spec, unsigned height_inc);

Arguably all the resize constraints should be bundled into a single structure, but I think that would contradict the new design too much.

I'm not a fan of interfaces that use "magic values" (say zeros) but will go with what the majority prefers.

Nit: + 240 s/hight/height

Maintaining ABI compatibility of caller stored structures seems harder than having separate functions. Given the use cases I can think of right now, most clients might only use the width/height increment functions or the aspect ration functions. Hence those could be combined to single functions. Then again most of the existing setter 'methods' are unary.

I think this needs to be consistent. If we take this approach we should also merge:

mir_surface_spec_set_min_width + mir_surface_spec_set_min_height => mir_surface_spec_set_min_size

mir_surface_spec_set_max_width + mir_surface_spec_set_max_height => mir_surface_spec_set_max_size

Good question!

One that should also apply to [min|max]_[aspect|width|height] (or size)

I think the 4 apis are just fine. It's just a surface spec, so the value are not in flight until it's commited.

Having them separate is consistent with other existing API's ( set_width and set_height, etc.)

But we may need another MP to add a bunch of "reset" functions for surface properties that can be set.

Or, alternatively, have some values that give default behavior:

  mir_surface_default_min_width = 0,
  mir_surface_default_width_inc = 1,
  mir_surface_default_aspect_x = 0,
  etc.

Nitpick:
Mir never shied away from long descriptive function names. Why abbreviate "increment" to "inc"? My first guess for the meaning of "inc" is not increment.

Well, by definition, that is a race. What will happen is that the server will handle the requests in some order. The resulting surface size could depend upon the order.

We could, but would we handle it any differently?

I don't follow. If min_width isn't set the series is:

0, width_inc, 2*width_inc, ...

You're suggesting this:

1, 1+width_inc, 1+2*width_inc, ...

Some questions (Aw=aspect W, Ah=aspect H):

1. In this case, since W/H < Aw/Ah, we can either increase W or decrease H to increase the ratio, as is done in the two branches of the if statement. What's the rationale behind using the relation between W and H to decide whether to change W or H?

2. What's the logic behind the formula in DeltaX (and DeltaY respectively)? If we want W/H to reach Aw/Ah we could increase W by error/Ah, so it's not clear why we need the other terms (the proposed formula leads to an increase of error/Ah + 1 + 1/Ah).

It would be good to add a comment documenting how the proposed computations and decisions work.

So, I was suggesting that min_width is always set and gives the sequence:
min_width, min_width + 1*width_inc, min_width + 2*width_inc, etc
And, with that 1 would be a good default value, because then you get:
min_width, min_width+1, min_width+2, etc.
effectively, saying that the server can resize to any width and still fit within the client's setting.
If min_width is set to zero, then the client's sequence is:
min_width, min_width, min_width, etc...
and the client requests no server resizes.

Just some more comments in the vein of:

261+ * Set the minimum aspect ratio
to
* Set the minimum aspect ratio. Aspect ratio is defined as the ratio of the x direction over
* the y direction. Aspect ratio is not inverted/affected by mir_surface_spec_set_preferred_orientation.
(or how the ratio is treated if its rotated 90/270 degrees)

I admit it is arbitrary. And now I examine it, probably wrong.

My (misguided) thought was that changing the smaller one leads to a bigger effect on the ratio for a smaller change. But suppose we want a ratio of 10:1, but have 10:20. Then my approach leads to 200:20 when 10:2 would probably be better.

It's to ensure rounding up. (I didn't think common incantation in integer arithmetic needed explaining - I was wrong.)

Yes, this will benefit from being more explicit (I missed it even though I have used/implemented it in the past [1]).

OK, I think you're writing "*min_width* is always set" when you're suggesting a default for *width_inc*.

So, we're actually talking about the same behavior except, possibly, in cases where the client applies a spec to a surface that has previously had width_inc set:

What we have is a surface spec where width_inc is optional and only if that is set by the client will it update the width_inc on the server.

Are you suggesting that the surface spec should always have a width_inc (default 1) and that this should override the server setting if not set by the client? I don't think that is right.

"Do not use abbreviations unless they are extremely well known outside your project"

http://unity.ubuntu.com/mir/cppguide/index.html?showone=General_Naming_Rules#General_Naming_Rules

It is a fine line - "min" and "max" have been accepted as common abbreviations whereas "inc" isn't common enough.

No, but following established practice in the domain seems prudent.
