./x11/libxcb, X protocol C-language Binding

[ CVSweb ] [ Homepage ] [ RSS ] [ Required by ] [ Add to tracker ]

Branch: CURRENT, Version: 1.17.0, Package name: libxcb-1.17.0, Maintainer: reed

The libxcb package provides a replacement for the current Xlib interface.
Some of its advantages include:
- size: small library and lower memory footprint
- latency hiding: batch several requests and wait for the replies later
- direct protocol access: one-to-one mapping between interface and protocol
- proven thread support: transparently access XCB from multiple threads
- easy extension implementation: interfaces auto-generated from XML-XCB

Xlib can also use XCB as a transport layer, allowing software to make
requests and receive responses with both, which eases porting to XCB.

Log message: libxcb: update to 1.16.1. This release fixes build issues for Windows & NetBSD platforms. For those building for 32-bit platforms, it also enables use of the "large file" APIs - though xcb mainly uses stat() calls on sockets, not normal files. Since this release was generated using the new GNU autoconf 2.72, this also adds a --enable-year2038 configure flag which may allow xcb to work with sockets whose timestamps are later than January 19, 2038, but this has not been tested. Alan Coopersmith (3): gitlab CI: regenerate container used for builds gitlab CI: use latest xcbproto from git to build against libxcb 1.16.1 Fergus Dall (1): Enable large file support Peter Williams (1): Fix compilation on Windows Thomas Klausner (1): configure.ac: drop `pthread-stubs` dependency on NetBSD
