context: Add legacy X11 include path for misconfigured setups
Some setups use the assumption that the canonical XKB root is always
the legacy X11 one, but this is no longer true since xkeyboard-config
2.45, where the X11 path is now a mere symlink to a dedicated data
directory for xkeyboard-config.
Fixed by using a fallback to the legacy X11 path for misconfigured
setups where the canonical XKB root is not available.
This fallback can still be skipped if the environment variable
`XKB_CONFIG_ROOT` is deliberately set to an empty string.

test: Fix tools options parsing
a83a482c71719b9c46c499952656372161cc8afb introduced the new tools
`xkbcli-{interactive,dump-keymap}`, along with their corresponding tests.
However, these tools cannot be tested because they hardcode the paths of
the `xkbcli-{interactive,dump-keymap}-{wayland,x11}` tools they call to
the *install* directory, while we need to use those of the *build*
directory.
It seems that it got unnoticed thanks to:
- the special settings in the CI: unset `*DISPLAY` environment variables;
- a local installation of the development version in the developer’
setup.

keymap: Make serialization of unused items optional
When compiling a keymap from text, some items may be unnecessary in the
final keymap, i.e. they do not affect the keymap behavior:
- unused key types;
- unused keysym interpretations.
Deactivate the serialization of these items *by default* and add a new
flag to enable it for debugging.

keymap: Make pretty-printing optional
This greatly improves the keymap serialization: 1.22× speedup and
about 5% less allocations. The resulting keymap is also a bit faster
to parse.
Another improvement is that it eases keysym names migrations (removal
and additions) by using only keysym numeric values. This requires some
care, i.e. `NoSymbol` must be serialized with its name and not its
value 0x0, because xkbcomp and libxkbcommon < 1.12 would interpret the
numeric value as `XKB_KEY_0`.

xkbcomp: Fix numeric keysym parsing
Keysyms written as single decimal digits are interpreted in the range
`XKB_KEY_0`..`XKB_KEY_9`, consistent with the general interpretation
`<name>` -> `XKB_KEY_<name>`, e.g.:
- `1` → `XKB_KEY_1`
- `a` → `XKB_KEY_a`
However, before this commit integers in the range 0..9 in *any format*
were treated as digit keysyms, which is wrong if the number is written
with 2+ characters. E.g. the following were wrongly treated as the
keysym digit `XKB_KEY_1`: `01`, `0x1`.
Fixed by introducing a new token type to handle this corner case.
This is a preparatory work to enable serializing keysyms as numbers.

xkbcomp: Drop the key name LUT after compilation
Since it is not usual to lookup for keys by their names, we can drop it
to save allocations (about 2KiB on usual keymaps).
We use an union of the LUT with the aliases array and try to reuse the
memory allocated by the LUT. We only do so if the space is trivially
available: either before the first alias entry or after the last entry,
which is possible in practice, so that we get the best performance. Else
we allocate a new array.

xkbcomp: Enable aliases to override keys
Contrary to Xorg’s xkbcomp, keys and aliases share the same
namespace. So we need to resolve name conflicts as they arise,
while xkbcomp will resolve them just before copying aliases into
the keymap.
The following example:
xkb_keycodes {
<A> = 8;
<B> = 9;
alias <B> = <A>;
};
will resolve in libxkbcommon to:
xkb_keycodes {
<A> = 8;
alias <B> = <A>;
};
while in Xorg’s xkbcomp:
xkb_keycodes {
<A> = 8;
<B> = 9;
};
The former does result in the intended mapping.
In practice, there is no such conflict in xkeyboard-config.
Another corner case is that now an alias can override a key even if
proved invalid aftwerwards, e.g.:
xkb_keycodes {
<A> = 1;
<B> = 2;
alias <B> = <C>; /* Override key, even if invalid entry */
};
results in:
xkb_keycodes {
<A> = 1;
};
This should be considered a bug in either the keycodes or rules files,
not libxkbcommon.

xkbcomp: Use keycode name LUT for xkb_keycodes
Replace linear search of keycode names with O(1).
Given that:
- the number of atoms is usually < 1k;
- the keycode section usually appears first;
then the first atoms will be mostly the keycodes and their aliases,
so we can achieve O(1) lookup of the key names by using a simple
atom → keycode array.
The LUT will be used also to process `xkb_symbols` for further speedup.
On my setup I get a 1.039x speedup at the costs of less than 1%
additional allocations.

xkbcomp: Enable using the whole keycode range
In 502e9e5bff3781cba09f3b33ec030522b549f4e5 we restricted the supported
keycode range in order to avoid memory exhaustion and inefficient storage
in sparse arrays. This solution enabled keycodes up to 0xfff, which
seemed good enough at the time.
However there are huge keycodes in use in the wild, e.g. in WebOS.
So let’s enable the whole keycode range by using 2 methods of storage:
- “Low” keycodes (≤ 0xfff): stored contiguously as before at indexes
[0..num_keys_low); fast O(1) access.
- “High” keycodes (> 0xfff): stored noncontiguously at indexes
[num_keys_low..num_keys); slow access via binary search.

While one could expect that verbosity `0` silences the logging, it

Silencing the logging is achieved by using a negative value for the
verbosity level.

compose: Add fallback for custom locales
Before this commit, loading a Compose file based on the locale would fail
if the locale is not in the X11 Compose locale registry. While there are
workarounds (e.g. `~/.XCompose` file or `$XCOMPOSEFILE`), it does not
work if the corresponding file has `include "%L"`.
This commit adds the fallback `en_US.UTF-8` in case the locale is
installed but not registered in the X11 Compose locale registry. The
choice is motivated by the fact that most locales use `en_US.UTF-8`
anyway.
Ideally we should have a mechanism to extend the Compose locale registry
at the *system* level. Mechanisms at the user level (e.g. custom Compose
file, environment variable) are deemed sufficient.
We could still improve it by first trying to fallback to the locale
without the country bits, but there is no function to do such function
in the stdlib and we do not want to mess with locales manually.
Unfortunately is not possible to test it in our test suite. One can
still check it works following these instructions:
1. Create a custom locale, e.g. `en_XX.UTF-8`. `glibc-i18ndata` or
similar package may be required to get the required files in
`/usr/share/i18n/`.
`sudo localedef -i en_US -f UTF-8 en_XX.UTF-8`
2. `xkbcli compile-compose --verbose --locale en_XX.UTF-8`

Add support for all layout indices to GroupN constants
This commit enables to use the pattern `Group<INDEX>` for any valid
group index `<INDEX>`.
Note that the original code in xkbcomp allows constants up to
`Group8`, but then will fail if the resulting group is > 4.
There does not seem to be any use case for this for such “feature”;
it seems rather to be a relic from times were the 4-groups limit
was not hopelessly fixed in X.
So for consistency in our code base, starting with this commit we now
disallow `Group5`..`Group8` for keymap format v1, since it is limited
to 4 groups.
Also fixed a regression in the serialization of group action, when
the group is relative.

test: Add examples for breaking latches using VoidAction()
Consider the following use cases:
1. If `Caps_Lock` is on the second level of some key, and `Shift` is
latched, pressing the key locks `Caps` while also breaking the `Shift`
latch, ensuring that the next character is properly uppercase.
2. On the German E1 layout, `ISO_Level5_Latch` is on the third level
of `<AC04>`. So if a level 3 latch is used to access it, the level 5
must break the previous level 3 latch, else both latches would be
active: the effective level would be 7 instead of the intended 5.
Both uses cases can be implemented using existing features:
- multiple actions per level;
- `VoidAction()`: to break latches.

state: Fix modifier and group latch
Prior to this commit, the sequences:
- 1. latch A ↓
2. latch B ↓
3. latch B ↑
4. latch A ↑
- 1. latch A ↓
2. latch B ↓
3. latch A ↑
4. latch B ↑
would result in only B being latched, because the XKB protocol specifies
that latches are triggered only if keys are *sequentially* tapped, i.e.
a strict sequence of press and release of each key.
It seems an unnecessary limitation:
- `SlowKeys` and `XkbAX_TwoKeys` are the proper accessibility features
to control accidental key presses, not latches nor `StickyKeys`.
- Latches are also used outside their original accessibility role.
A user may activate multiple latch keys simultaneously:
- same hand: two latch keys being close to each other;
- different hand: two keys being activated independently.
Changed the latching behavior so that the rules used to break a latch
are the same than those used to prevent it. Depressing and releasing two
latching keys simultaneously will now activate both latches, as expected.
Since this is a breaking change, it is enabled only by the keymap format
`XKB_KEYMAP_FORMAT_TEXT_V2`.

Previously we use inlined version of the corresponding filter functions

error-prone: it requires discipline to keep it in sync.
E.g. before this commit, converting to `LockMods()` would always try to
unlock `CapsLock` due to the wrong value of the `priv` field.
Fixed by using the corresponding filter functions directly, so that we
always mutate the filter properly, as in `xkb_filter_group_latch_func`.

keymap: Canonically map unmapped virtual modifiers
Traditionally, *virtual* modifiers were merely name aliases for *real*
modifiers (X *core* modifiers), e.g. `NumLock` was usually mapped to
`Mod2` (see `modifier_map` statement). Virtual modifiers that were never
mapped to a real ones had no effect on the keymap state.
xkbcommon already supports the concept of “pure” virtual modifiers, i.e.
virtual modifiers that are *encoded* using the full 32-bit range, not
just the first 8 bits corresponding to the real modifiers.
But until this commit, one had to declare such mapping *explicitly*:
e.g. `virtual_modifiers M = 0x100;`. This has at least two drawbacks:
- Numerical values may look quite arbitrary and are not user-friendly.
It’s OK in the resulting compiled keymap, but it requires careful sync
between sections when developing KcCGST files.
- If the modifier is *also* mapped *implicitly* using the traditional
`vmodmap`/`modifier_map`, then both mappings are OR-combined.
This patch enables to automatically map unmapped virtual modifiers to
their *canonical* mapping, i.e. themselves: their corresponding virtual
and real modifier masks are identical: `1u << mod_index`.
Since this feature is incompatible with X11, this is guarded by requiring
at least keymap text format **v2**.
Note that for now, canonical virtual modifiers cannot be used in an
interpret action’s `AnyOf()`. An interpret action for a canonical virtual
modifier must be `AnyOfOrNone()` to take effect:
virtual_modifiers APureMod, …;
interpret a+AnyOfOrNone(all) {
virtualModifier= APureMod;
action= SetMods(modifiers=APureMod);
};
The above adds a virtual modifier `APureMod` for keysym `a`. It will be
canonical iff it is not mapped implicitly.

keymap: Add parameter `latchOnPress` for LatchMods()
Some keyboard layouts use `ISO_Level3_Latch` or `ISO_Level5_Latch` to
define “built-in” dead keys:
- they do not rely on the installation of custom Compose file;
- they do not clash with other layouts.
However, layout projects usually want the exact same behavior on all OS,
but the XKB latch behavior (often misunderstood) also acts as a *set*
modifier, which is not expected.
The usual behavior of a dead key on Linux, macOS and Windows is:
- latch on press;
- deactivate as soon as another (non-modifier) key is pressed.
Added the parameter `latchOnPress` to `LatchMods()` to enable the
aforementioned behavior.
As it is incompatible with X11, this feature is available only using the
keymap text format v2.

- On key *release*:
- If `unlockOnPress` is true and triggered unlocking on key press, do
nothing.
- Otherwise:
- remove modifiers from the *depressed* modifiers, if no
other key that affect the same modifiers is down;
- if `noUnlock` is false and if any target modifiers was locked before
the key press, *unlock* them.

keymap: Add option `lockOnRelease` for LockGroup()
It enables to use e.g. the combination `Control + Shift` *alone* to
switch layouts, while keeping the use of `Control + Shift + other key`
(typically for keyboard shortcuts).
The specification of `LockGroup()` is changed to:
- On key *press*:
- If `lockOnRelease` is set, then key press has no effect.
- Otherwise:
- if the `group` is absolute, key press sets the *locked* keyboard group to
`group`;
- otherwise, key press adds `group` to the *locked* keyboard group.
In either case, the resulting *locked* and *effective* group is brought back
into range depending on the value of the `GroupsWrap` control for the keyboard.
- On key *release*:
- If `lockOnRelease` is not set, then key release has no effect.
- Otherwise, if any other key was *pressed* after the locking key, then
key release has no effect.
- Otherwise, it has the same effect than a key press *without* `lockOnRelease`
set.
This is really useful for people coming from other platforms, such as
Windows.

Support including keymap components using %-expansion and absolute path
Enable to use the same `include` features than *rules* files in
*keymap components*:
- *`%`-expansion*: `%H` home directory, `%S` sytem root and `%E` extra.
- absolute file paths.
This is useful if one wants to overwrite the system file with a user
config (i.e. same name, but in `~/.config/xkb`), but still include the
system file:
```
// File: ~/.config/xkb/symbols/de
xkb_symbols "basic" {
include "%S/de(basic)"
key <AB01> { [z, Z] };
key <AD06> { [y, Y] };
}
````
Without the commit, using a mere `include "de(basic)"` would result in
an include loop.
Refactored by using the same code for rules and keymap components.

state: Add server API for updating latched and locked mods & layout
Up to now, the “server state” `xkb_state` API only offered one entry
point to update the server state – `xkb_state_update_key`, which reflects
the direct keyboard keys state. But some updates come out-of-band from
keyboard input events stream, for example, a GUI layout switcher.
The X11 XKB protocol has a request which allows for such updates,
`XkbLatchLockState`[^1], but xkbcommon does not have similar
functionality. So server applications ended up using
`xkb_state_update_state` for this, but that’s a function intended for
client applications, not servers.
Add support for updating the latched & locked state of the mods and
layout. Note that the depressed states cannot be updated in this way --
XKB does not expect them to be updated out of band.

xkbcomp: Do not discard extra bits in vmod masks
Since we accept numeric values for the vmod mask in the keymap, we may
have extra bits set that encode *no* real/virtual modifier. Keep them
unchanged for consistency.
E.g. the following keymap:
xkb_keymap {
xkb_keycodes { <a> = 38; };
xkb_symbols {
virtual_modifiers X = 0xf0000000;
key <a> { [ SetMods(mods = 0x00001100) ] };
};
};
would compile to:
xkb_keymap {
xkb_keycodes { <a> = 38; };
xkb_symbols {
virtual_modifiers X = 0xf0000000;
// Internal state
key <a> { [ SetMods(mods = 0xf0001000) ] };
// Serialization
key <a> { [ SetMods(mods = 0x00001100) ] };
};
};

state: Fix virtual modifiers with non-real mod mapping
Currently there are 2 issues with the handling of virtual modifiers
in the keyboard state:
1. We assume that the input modifiers masks encode the indexes of all
the modifiers of the keymap, but this is true only for the *real*
modifiers (at least in xkbcommon and X11). Indeed, since the virtual
modifiers *indexes* are implementation-specific, the input modifier
masks merely *encode* the modifiers via their *mapping*.
Consider the following keymap:
```c
xkb_keymap {
xkb_compat { virtual_modifiers M1 = 0x100; };
xkb_types { virtual_modifiers M2 = 0x200; };
};
```
Now to illustrate, consider the following 2 implementation variants
of libxkbcommon (assuming indexes 0-7 are the usual real modifiers):
1. Process `xkb_compat` then `xkb_types`.
M1 and M2 have the respective indexes 8 and 9 and map to
themselves (with the current assumption about mask denotation).
2. Process `xkb_types` then `xkb_compat`.
M1 and M2 have the respective indexes 9 and 8 and map to each
other.
With the current `xkb_state_update_mask`, implementation 2 will swap
M1 and M2 (compared to impl. 1) at each update! Indeed, we can see that
`xkb_state_serialize_mods` doesn’t roundtrip via `xkb_state_update_mask`.
2. We assume that modifier masks use only bits denoting modifiers in
the keymap, but when parsing the keymap we accept explicit virtual
modifiers mapping of arbitrary values.
E.g. if `M1` is the only virtual modifier and it is defined by:
```c
virtual_modifiers M1 = 0x80000000; // 1 << (32 - 1)
```
then the 32th bit of a modifier mask input does *not* denote the
32th virtual modifier of the keymap, but merely the encoding of the
mapping of `M1`.
So when calling `xkb_state_update_mask`, we may discard some bits of
the modifiers masks and end up with an incorrect state.
These 2 issues may break interoperability with other implementations of
XKB (e.g. kbvm) and make pure virtual modifiers handling fragile.
We introduce the notion of *canonical state modifier mask*: the mask
with the smallest population count that denotes all bits used to encode
the modifiers in the keyboard state. It is equal to the bitwise OR of
real modifiers mask and all the virtual modifiers mappings.
This commit fixes the 2 issues by making *weaker* assumptions about the
input modifier masks:
1. Modifiers may map to arbitrary values, not only real modifiers.
2. Input modifier masks merely encode modifiers via their *mapping*:
- *real* modifiers map to themselves;
- *virtual* modifiers map to the bitwise OR of their *explicit*
mapping (via `virtual_modifiers`) and their *implicit* mapping (via
keys’ real and virtual modmaps).
- modifiers indexes are implementation-specific.
Since the implementation before this commit also resolved virtual
modifiers to their mappings, we continue doing so, but using only the
bits that are *not* set in the canonical state modifier mask, so that
we enable roundtrip of `xkb_state_serialize_mods` via
`xkb_state_update_mask`.
3. Input modifier masks do not denote modifiers indexes (apart from real
modifiers), so it is safe to discard only the bits that are not set
in the canonical state modifier mask.

Fix key type map entry with unbound vmod not ignored
Currently we only ignore key type map entries with non-zero mods and
with a zero modifier mask. However, the XKB protocol states ([source]):
> Map entries which specify unbound virtual modifiers are not considered.
So we currently handle `map[Unbound]` key type map entries (all modifiers
unbound) but not `map[Bound+Unbound]` entries (mix of bound and unbound
modifiers).
Fixed by properly checking unbound modifiers on each key type map entry.
This also fixes a test that was accidentally passing.

xkbcomp: Stricter handling of default map include
Before this commit, including a *default* map, i.e. without an explicit
section name (e.g. `include "au"` vs `include "au(basic)"`) would match
the first section of the first matching file in the XKB include paths,
even if this section is not an *explicit* default map (i.e. tagged with
`default`) but an *implicit* default map (i.e. the first map of the
file, i.e. a weak match).
It makes user configuration risky: say a user wants to create a custom
version `au(custom)` of the `au` layout:
- `./config/xkb/symbols/au`: custom layout in section “custom”.
- `/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/au`: system layout, with *default* section
“basic”.
In this setup *any* layout that imports the default map from `au` would
in fact import the *implicit* default map `au(custom)` instead of the
*explicit* default map `au(basic)`.
This incorrect behavior may thus break setups with multiple layouts.
This is especially true for symbols files such as: `pc`, `us` or `latin`.
Fixed by trying harder to found the exact default map, defaulting to the
old behavior (weak match) only if no *explicit* default map (exact match)
has been found in the XKB include paths.

state: Capitalization transformation in xkb_state_key_get_syms
Previously `xkb_state_key_get_syms()` did not perform capitalization
tranformation, while `xkb_state_key_get_one_sym()` does perform it.
This is unfortunate if we want to promote the use of multiple keysyms
per levels.
The API make it difficult to change now though: we return a pointer to
an immutable array rather than filling a buffer. While we could use an
internal buffer in `xkb_state`, this option would limit the API to
*sequential* calls of `xkb_state_key_get_syms()` or require some buffer
handling (e.g. rotation).
Instead we now store the capitalization directly in `xkb_level`. We
modified `xkb_level` like so (see below for discussion about the size):
```diff
struct xkb_level {
- unsigned int num_syms;
+ uint16_t num_syms;
- unsigned int num_actions;
+ uint16_t num_actions;
+ union {
+ /** num_syms == 1: Upper keysym */
+ xkb_keysym_t upper;
+ /** num_syms > 1: Indicate if `syms` contains the upper case
+ * keysyms after the lower ones. */
+ bool has_upper;
+ };
union {
xkb_keysym_t sym; /* num_syms == 1 */
xkb_keysym_t *syms; /* num_syms > 1 */
} s;
union {
union xkb_action action; /* num_actions == 1 */
union xkb_action *actions; /* num_actions > 1 */
} a;
};
```
- When `level.num_syms` <= 1, we store the upper keysym in `level.upper`.
- Else if there no cased syms, we set `level.has_upper` to false.
- Else if there are some cased syms, we set `level.has_upper`` to `true`
and we double the original size of `level.s.syms`, but *without*
modifying `level.num_syms`. We then append the transformed keysyms
right after the original ones, so that we can access them by a simple
pointer operation: `level.s.syms + level.num_syms`.
The memory footprint is *unchanged*, thanks to the reduced fields for
actions and keysyms counts.
