Besides making these functions much nicer to use, this fixes a number of
things:
- Clients now don't have to free the returned structures.
- The ScreenInfo allocated by XineramaQueryScreens should be freed with XFree,
not p_delete.
This patch also introduces an abstract Area type that will be very useful.
- Fix many instances of incorrect and incomplete doxygen annotations.
- Teach doxygen not to complain when it comes accross gcc __attribute__
specifications.
- Turn off graph generation by default.
- Make doxygen quiet, so we can actually see warnings when they occur.
The big change here is that we now keep our configuration structure in a global
variable called globalconf. This radically simplifies many interfaces, since
passing awesomeconf everywhere is no longer necessary. There are also more
subtle interface effects - now we can reliably identify a screen from just a
screen ID, rather than an awesomeconf, screenid tuple.
Overall, this patch makes most of the interfaces in awesome much nicer to use -
enjoy!
Yes, this is a huge patch, but since a lot of the refactoring was done
systematically using vim macros, splitting this up would have been very hard.
Hi there.
awesome-client is now linked against the whole hog of x-related libs
that awesome depends on. These get pulled in by awesome-client using the
same LDFLAGS as awesome. Removing x-related libs from the LDFLAGS for
awesome-client is only half of the story, as it also depends on util.c
which now has a couple of x-related functions. The attached patch also
splits these functions into a separate xutil.{c,h} file pair and teaches
the rest of the files to use them. Apart from the small difference in
file size (I see a 3-3.5% decrease in file size, both for a stripped and
a non-stripped awesome-client binary), this should also somewhat reduce
the startup time (since awesome-client won't have to map all of these
libraries).
Cheers...
