xcbXorg is a connection manager lib that'll be used in common by all of
the xcb API frontends: xcbMouse, xcbWindow and xcbKeyboard. We moved
it into commonLibs to make it make more sense.
We also cleaned up the M4 scripting around AC_ARG_VAR-ing new common
libs as well as sense/wilzor libs.
* We had a prior issue where EQUALS would require that there be no
whitespace between itself and its operands on either side. We got
a bad solution from ChatGPT 4o. We got a proper solution now from
o1.
* Previously, if a string ended with a backslash right before EOF, the
backslash would be included. Now it will be dropped.
* Merge the two regexes for ignoring whitespace into one.
We add 2 new threads for handling the interoceptors and extrospector
events. Also add comments explaining the purpose and role of each of
these major threads.
We now use param keys in the API params to choose what type of ID
the deviceSelector holds, and how to match it.
* dev-id/devid: matches by ID.
* dev-substr/dev-substring/devsubstr: Matches window name by substring.
* dev-string/devstr/dev-str: matches window name by exact whole string.
This patch adds some nicely weighty code for connecting to X displays
and managing those connections. Attaching devices will automatically
connect to their required X display. Removing all devices dependent
on a given X display connection will also disconnect from that
Xdisplay.
We decided to get rid of the C FFI for libs. It was becoming too intricate
and complicated. It was becoming a technical burden and expanding into
too much extra code. It's unfortunate, but we'll have to give up on getting
out-of-tree hot-loadable libraries the easy way.
It's possible to still do it with cross compilation or by keeping track
of the libstdc++ version that the running harikoff binary was compiled
against. Then we can ensure that our loadable lib code is linked against
that same libstdc++ code and this should ensure ABI stability.
We also had to write conversion constructors and so on to CSenseDeviceDesc.
The technical debt that's being piled up from this C FFI is excessive.
I think we'll end it here. API Libs will have to be written in C++
from now on. API Lib interfaces will be in C++.
We'll use cross compilers to ensure stability for out-of-tree lib
development.
* Renamed some of the Sense API lib classes
(CSensorDeviceDesc=>CSenseDeviceDesc,
SensorDeviceDesc=>SenseDeviceDesc).
* Moved SenseApiDesc into /include/user/senseApiDesc.
* Add conversion constructor to convert from SenseDeviceDesc
to
* Wireframe mlo_initializeInd to call xcb_connect().
* Add $(XCB_LIBS) to libxcbXorg_LDFLAGS.
* Wireframe mlo_attachDeviceReq().
Also, SenseApiDesc: initializeInd() now takes void. We no longer
try to pass a struct of marionette-role ops into the libs. We'll
be using message queueing for the handshake side of async calls now.
