Run the following code:
do
local d
local f = function() d.visible = true end
if _VERSION >= "Lua 5.2" then
setmetatable({}, { __gc = f })
else
getmetatable(newproxy(true)).__gc = f
end
d = drawin({})
end
collectgarbage("collect")
Awesome will segfault.
The reason for this is that after the above code ran, all variables in it are
unreferenced and will be garbage-collected at the next sweep phase. Lua runs
garbage collectors in the inverse order that their corresponding objects were
"marked" which means for the above code that the drawin's garbage collector will
run before function f runs. So the code will access the drawin after its
destructor already ran. Obviously, awesome's C code does not expect nor
correctly deal with this situation and was dereferencing a NULL pointer.
To fix this, this commit "unsets" the metatable of a userdata object when it is
being garbage collected. Since the type of a userdata is inferred via its
metatable, the object will no longer be accepted by luaA_toudata().
For the above code this will result in an unhelpful error message saying that
something tried to index a userdata, but userdata cannot be indexed. At least we
no longer crash and the traceback of the error will hopefully point at some __gc
metamethod which should be enough of a hint to figure out the problem.

This property is especially useful for client objects which are unusable after
unmanage. "Unusuable" here means that pretty much everything you do with the
client object results in a lua error.

Our tag concept doesn't really fit into ewmh. Thus, we were setting this
property to a way too small value anyway (just the size of the first screen in
case of multiple screens).
Since this property is optional in ewmh, let's just drop it.

If $SHELL is set to "bash", previously awesome failed to restart itself, because
it could not find "bash". This commit makes awesome use execlp() instead of
execl() which means that $PATH is searched if the started command does not
contain a slash and this problem is fixed.
$SHELL is specified in POSIX and it doesn't seem to require an absolute path
name.

Thanks to Michael Stapelberg, there is now a xcb-only port of libXcursor which
does everything we need. This patch switches awesome over to that new library.
Since the only reason for using XOpenDisplay() instead of xcb_connect() was so
that we can use libXcursor, we can get back to that older state again. This
means that this effectively reverts the following commits:
531f8b415c "Added initial support for Xlib cursor themes"
77243cd09a "Add x11-xcb to the pkg-config checks"
779d43fc46 "Don't let Xlib own the event queue"

I assume nobody have tried to compile Awesome with GNU uncompatible
compiler for ages and thus non-__GNUC__ p_delete version got
overlooked for quite some time.
First of all, a problem I see is that it assigns void** to a variable
of type void* and then dereferences the same void* variable.
None of the compilers I am aware of will let you go through this
without an error.
And second of all, lets have one portable p_delete.

This function can be called from unprotected contexts. Calling luaL_error() in
this case results in a call to luaA_panic() and awesome dies.
The only real change here is that this now calls warn() instead of luaL_error().
The rest is reindentation because warn() returns while luaL_error() didn't.

Some functions didn't check the class of objects they were passed but just
casted them to the type they expected. This lead to code like e.g. the following
to crash awesome:
c.titlebar = c
This adds a new function luaA_object_ref_class() which works like
luaA_object_ref(), but which also checks the class of the object.
Additionally, this function is now used in all necessary places.

We use lua_class_t pointer as key in the registry to store metatable we
will compare.
lauxlib uses a string, which sucks, because it forces to do a
pushliteral() each time you want to get a metatable from the registry,
which is slower.
