Now that modeline are supported, they will affect the content of
version. This commits only adds the new information. `--version` has
to be the last command line argument and the modeline isn't parsed
yet.
Another commit will make sure --version parses the modeline and
finishes to process the command line arguments in case it isn't
last. Please note that luarocks also affects data points such as
the LGI version. It should be smarter and check if `rc.lua` has
`require("luarocks")`. This commit does *not* do it.
The API level concept is something used by other projects such as
Android and iOS to allow deprecated features to be removed and the
bahavior to be altered without breaking compability with existing
code.
The same will apply to AwesomeWM. The current API level is "4" and
as long as config use this, no deprecation or bahavior change will
be exposed. If the user sets it to an higher value or we release
the next major version and new users start to use the, then current,
default config, they will use the new API level.
The the far future, if ever, we could fork the entire Lua libraries
to support legacy APIs. This would only require to keep the core
API support for those legacy calls. In the meantime, `gears.debug`
will use this to manage the deprecation and some conditional code
will be added as a last resort attempt to preserve behavior
compatibility while moving forward with breaking changes.
There are some usecases when terminal font not providing those characters at all or they're provided by fallback font with different dimensions.
Both of the issues above could affect readability/clarity of the version output.
This is the successor of `awful.screen.connect_for_each_screen`-like
functions using the signal system itself "meta signals?". For signals
such as requests that need to be fullfilled at startup, the previous
API didn't "feel" native. Now it is possible for Lua to react to
global signal connections and call the handler itself.
This is intended to be used as a building block of a consistency
refactoring.
It could eventually be extended with an ugly global
`block_next_connection`. To allow filtering for signals that can
only have a single connection. So far it isn't required, so lets
not polute this patch with such hack.
This library allows to get a human-readable string describing X11
requests, events, and errors. We now use this library to pretty-print
X11 errors if we get any.
To test this code, I added the following two lines to AwesomeWM so that
X11 errors are generated:
xcb_set_input_focus(globalconf.connection, 42, 42, 42);
xcb_randr_set_output_primary(globalconf.connection,
globalconf.screen->root, 42);
Output without xcb-errors:
X error: request=SetInputFocus (major 42, minor 0), error=BadValue (2)
X error: request=(null) (major 140, minor 30), error=(null) (147)
Output with xcb-errors:
X error: request=SetInputFocus (major 42, minor 0), error=Value (2)
X error: request=RandR-SetOutputPrimary (major 140, minor 30), error=RandR-BadOutput (147)

Between xcb_grab_server() and xcb_ungrab_server(), XCB's output buffer
might fill up. Thus, the GrabServer request might already have been sent
to the server, but the following UngrabServer request could end up in
XCB's output buffer. There, it might sit around for quite a while and
cause problems.
Since we cannot detect when XCB's output buffer fills up, we just always
flush after generating an UngrabServer request.

luaL_register() only exists in Lua 5.1 and was removed in never
versions. It has two completely different behaviours depending on
whether its second argument is NULL or not.
This commit splits that up by adding a wrapper for luaL_setfuncs()
(which does not exist in Lua 5.1) and using that everywhere instead of
our wrapper for luaL_register().
No behavioural changes are intended. This is simply meant as a cleanup.

All versions of libxcb provide at least RandR 1.3 (if I remember
correctly). With version 1.5, the concept of a monitor was added. This
might make quite a difference for awesome and to help debugging bug
reports that are due to missing support for monitors, the existence of
this support was added to the --version output.
However, many people feel like they are missing out due to this, even
though the new RandR 1.5 stuff likely makes no difference for them. To
help these people, instead of having a yes/no, just print the full RandR
version. When a bug report that is due to missing monitor support shows
up, we can look up if the reporter has RandR 1.5. All other people are
no longer bothered.

This table is "just a normal Lua table". Lua code can use it in whatever
way it wants to store things related to a given C object.
An object (userdata) already references a "plain Lua table" via
lua_setuservalue() / lua_setfenv(). This is used to keep a reference to
signal functions that are connected to an object. The signal code only
uses lightuserdata keys in this table. This commit adds an entry with
key "data" to this table which just references another table. This is
the table that is made available as .data.
Via this .data property, Lua code can add own properties to C objects
without having to use, for example, weak tables. The weak tables have
the downside that they produce a leak if the value references the key.
The new .data property does not have any such problem (no weak
references are involved).
This new data property is not documented, because I'd have to touch lots
of files and I'm lazy.

Before this commit: When we are GC'ing an object, we clear its metatable, since
otherwise crashes could occur in various places. This means that if someone
tries to use such an object, they get an unhelpful error message like "attempt
to index userdata object" and they don't understand what the problem is. Also,
this means that foo.valid does not actually work after GC.
This commit changes this behaviour. Instead of setting an empty metatable, we
now create a metatable with an __index and __newindex method. These metamethods
produce better error messages that they sat the underlying object was already
garbage collected. Better yet, the __index metamethod makes foo.valid be false
instead of causing an error, so that the existing machinery for detecting
invalid objects continues to work.
This commit also adds a functional test that verifies this behaviour.

When a function is disconnected from a signal ("disconnect_signal") that is not
actually connected to the function, two things happened:
1. The attempt to remove the function from the signal array didn't do anything
2. Unreferencing the function noticed that the function wasn't referenced
The second step printed a big, fat scary warning.
Actually, this has the possibility of causing errors. For example, in the
following code, awesome would wrongly unreference the function at the
disconnect_signal() call and might later still try to call it when the
"refresh" signal is emitted:
do
local function f() end
awesome.connect_signal("refresh", f)
awesome.disconnect_signal("debug::error", f)
end
Fix this by making signal_disconnect() return a boolean value indicating if it
actually did something. All callers are fixed to use this value and only update
the reference counts if something was actually disconnected.

A client c could have no c.machine or no c.pid because the corresponding

The XEmbed protocol defines a special property that defines if the embedded
window wants to be visible or not. Up to now, awesome always ignored this entry
and instead behaved as if the bit was set. This commit makes it properly respect
the bit.
Testing done: None. No idea how. Apparently nothing really uses this bit,
because we didn't get bug reports about it yet.

Most of this information isn't interesting. If you are getting awesome from a
distro, then the time, hostname and username of the build are likely 'random
stuff' and if you are building awesome yourself, then the hostname and username
are obviously yours and the time can still be interfered based on the awesome's
binary ctime.
The GCC version shouldn't make any difference at all.

This makes it possible to add something similar to a __index / __newindex
metamethod to all our C objects. Based on this, Lua can then easily implement
arbitrary properties on our capi objects.
This saves the order of clients in a property called AWESOME_CLIENT_ORDER on the
root window during shutdown. During startup, after managing all existing
windows, we force the client list into the order described by this property
(overwriting any changes that Lua possibly did).
This code should safely handle cases where the property doesn't contain all
existing clients or contains a client which doesn't exist anymore.

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.
