Visual Components Library is responsible for the widgets (windowing, buttons, controls, etc.) operating system abstraction, including basic rendering (e.g. the output device).
Welcome to the Visual Class Libraries (vcl) code
source/
+ the main cross-platform chunk of source
inc/
+ cross-platform abstraction headers / definition
vcl/
+ external headers
generic/
+ shared helper code for backends,
actually built into vcl
headless/
+ a backend renderer that draws to bitmaps
aqua/
+ OS/X backend
ios/
+ skeleton Android backend
win/
+ windows backend
unx/
+ unix specific platform backend code and its' sub-platforms
plugadapt/
+ pluggable framework to select correct unx backend
gtk/
+ gtk2 support
gtk3/
+ gtk3.2+ support
kde/
+ kde3 support
kde4/
+ kde4 support
generic/
+ raw X support
How the platform abstraction works
+ InitVCL calls 'CreateSalInstance'
+ ths is implemented by the compiled-in platform backend
+ it stores various bits of global state in the
'SalData' (inc/saldatabasic.hxx) structure but:
+ the SalInstance vtable is the primary outward facing gateway
API for platform backends
+ It is a factory for:
SalFrames, SalVirtualDevices, SalPrinters,
Timers, the SolarMutexe, Drag&Drop and other
objects, as well as the primary event loop wrapper.
