Pierre Le Marre ef81d04e 2023-09-18T18:17:34 Structured log messages with a message registry Currently there is little structure in the log messages, making difficult to use them for the following use cases: - A user looking for help about a log message: the user probably uses a search engine, thus the results will depend on the proper indexing of our documentation and the various forums. It relies only on the wording of the message, which may change with time. - A user wants to filter the logs resulting of the use of one of the components of xkbcommon. A typical example would be testing xkeyboard-config against libxkbcommon. It requires the use of a pattern (simple words detection or regex). The issue is that the pattern may become silently out-of-sync with xkbcommon. A common practice (e.g. in compilers) is to assign unique error codes to reference theses messages, along with an error index for documentation. Thus this commit implements the following features: - Create a message registry (message-registry.yaml) that defines the log messages produced by xkbcommon. This is a simple YAML file that provides, for each message: - A unique numeric code as a short identifier. It is used in the output message and thus can be easily be filtered to spot errors or searched in the internet. It must not change: if the semantics of message changes, it is better to introduce a new message for clarity. - A unique text identifier, meant for two uses: 1. Generate constants dealing with log information in our code base. 2. Generate human-friendly names for the documentation. - A type: currently warning or error. Used to prefix the constants (see hereinabove) and for basic classification in documentation. - A short description, used as concise and mandatory documentation. - An optionnal detailed description. - Optional examples, intended to help the user to fix issues themself. - Version of xkbcommon it was added. For old entries this often unknown, so they will default to 1.0.0. - Version of xkbcommon it was removed (optional) No entry should ever be deleted from this index, even if the message is not used anymore: it ensures we have unique identifiers along the history of xkbcommon, and that users can refer to the documentation even for older versions. - Add the script update-message-registry.py to generate the following files: - messages.h: message code enumeration for the messages currently used in the code base. Currently a private API. - message.registry.md: the error index documentation page. - Modify the logging functions to use structured messages. This is a work in progress.
Ronan Pigott b4e81ca1 2022-12-16T01:26:25 context: add XKB_CONTEXT_NO_SECURE_GETENV flag (#312) This flag is useful for clients that may have relatively benign capabilities set, like CAP_SYS_NICE, that also want to use the xkb configuration from the environment and user configs in XDG_CONFIG_HOME.

Ran Benita 1bd3b3c7 2020-11-19T00:28:37 x11: cache X11 atoms On every keymap notify event, the keymap should be refreshed, which fetches the required X11 atoms. A big keymap might have a few hundred of atoms. A profile by a user has shown this *might* be slow when some intensive amount of keymap activity is occurring. It might also be slow on a remote X server. While I'm not really sure this is the actual bottleneck, caching the atoms is easy enough and only needs a couple kb of memory, so do that. On the added bench-x11: Before: retrieved 2500 keymaps from X in 11.233237s After : retrieved 2500 keymaps from X in 1.592339s Signed-off-by: Ran Benita <ran@unusedvar.com>
Peter Hutterer d7b39f6f 2020-07-10T08:50:02 Add /etc/xkb as extra lookup path for system data files This completes the usual triplet of configuration locations available for most processes: - vendor-provided data files in /usr/share/X11/xkb - system-specific data files in /etc/xkb - user-specific data files in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/xkb The default lookup order user, system, vendor, just like everything else that uses these conventions. For include directives in rules files, the '%E' resolves to that path. Signed-off-by: Peter Hutterer <peter.hutterer@who-t.net>
Peter Hutterer 67b538dd 2019-09-30T15:39:08 context: add a helper function to return the default system include path No functional changes but we'll need that same lookup in the rules file include handling in a future patch. Signed-off-by: Peter Hutterer <peter.hutterer@who-t.net>
Ran Benita 2ecc0f83 2014-02-10T13:06:22 context: add xkb_context_sanitize_rule_names() We want all the default logic in a test, so encapsulate it in this function, and make all the get_default_* functions static. Signed-off-by: Ran Benita <ran234@gmail.com>
Ran Benita a9c56f64 2014-01-13T17:20:54 context: split private functions to context-priv.c (Same as keymap-priv.c). Signed-off-by: Ran Benita <ran234@gmail.com>

Ran Benita 9e801ff7 2013-07-21T17:01:20 ctx: adapt to the len-aware atom functions xkb_atom_intern now takes a len parameter. Turns out though that almost all of our xkb_atom_intern calls are called on string literals, the length of which we know statically. So we add a macro to micro-optimize this case.

Daniel Stone fbe5e675 2013-02-28T10:48:40 Add environment overrides for default RMLVO You can now set default values in the environment, as well as a context option to ignore the environment, e.g. for tests. Signed-off-by: Daniel Stone <daniel@fooishbar.org>

Ran Benita 14842d6d 2013-03-01T21:48:02 keymap: abstract a bit over the keymap format Make it a bit easier to experiment with other formats. Add a struct xkb_keymap_format_operations, which currently contains the keymap compilation and _get_as_string functions. Each format can implement whatever it wants from these. The current public entry points become wrappers which do some error reporting, allocation etc., and calling to the specific format. The wrappers are all moved to src/keymap.c, so there are no XKB_EXPORT's under src/xkbcomp/ anymore. The only format available now is normal text_v1. This is all not very KISS, and adds some indirection, but it is helpful and somewhat cleaner. Signed-off-by: Ran Benita <ran234@gmail.com>
Ran Benita 714e95e1 2012-10-18T22:51:10 Contextualize GetBuffer() Instead storing the buffer in a non-thread-safe static array, we move it to the context. Signed-off-by: Ran Benita <ran234@gmail.com>
Ran Benita 0dd40125 2012-09-22T10:58:00 API: add _context prefix to log-related functions This is to follow the general scheme set by all of the other API functions. Since no one is using these functions yet, we don't (actually better not) add the old names to xkbcommon-compat.h. Signed-off-by: Ran Benita <ran234@gmail.com>
Ran Benita b2110705 2012-09-16T14:45:32 Organize src/ and test/ headers - Add context.h and move context-related functions from xkb-priv.h to it. - Move xkb_context definition back to context.c. - Add keysym.h and move keysym upper/lower/keypad from xkb-priv.h to it. - Rename xkb-priv.h to map.h since it only contains keymap-related definitions and declarations now. - Remove unnecessary includes and some and some other small cleanups.
