    keysym: use a perfect hash function for case sensitive xkb_keysym_from_name In 7d84809fdccbb5898d0838849ec7c321410182d5 I added a fast path for the case-sensitive case, but it is still slowing down Compose parsing. Instead of the binary search, use a perfect hash function, computed with a simple python module I found (vendored). It is faster -- perf diff is: Baseline Delta Abs Shared Object Symbol ........ ......... ................. ................................... 22.35% -14.04% libc-2.33.so [.] __strcmp_avx2 16.75% +10.28% bench-compose [.] xkb_keysym_from_name 20.72% +2.40% bench-compose [.] parse.constprop.0 2.29% -1.97% bench-compose [.] strcmp@plt 2.56% +1.81% bench-compose [.] resolve_name 2.37% +0.92% libc-2.33.so [.] __GI_____strtoull_l_internal 26.19% -0.63% bench-compose [.] lex 1.45% +0.56% libc-2.33.so [.] __memchr_avx2 1.13% -0.31% libc-2.33.so [.] __strcpy_avx2 Also reduces the binary size: Before: text data bss dec hex filename 341111 5064 8 346183 54847 build/libxkbcommon.so.0.0.0 After: text data bss dec hex filename 330215 5064 8 335287 51db7 build/libxkbcommon.so.0.0.0 Note however that it's still larger than before 7d84809fdccbb5898d08388: text data bss dec hex filename 320617 5168 8 325793 4f8a1 build/libxkbcommon.so.0.0.0 Signed-off-by: Ran Benita <ran@unusedvar.com>

  • libxkbcommon

    libxkbcommon is a keyboard keymap compiler and support library which processes a reduced subset of keymaps as defined by the XKB (X Keyboard Extension) specification. It also contains a module for handling Compose and dead keys and a separate library for listing available keyboard layouts.

    Quick Guide

    See Quick Guide.

    Building

    libxkbcommon is built with Meson:

    meson setup build
ninja -C build

    To build for use with Wayland, you can disable X11 support while still using the X11 keyboard configuration resource files thusly:

    meson setup build \
    -Denable-x11=false \
    -Dxkb-config-root=/usr/share/X11/xkb \
    -Dx-locale-root=/usr/share/X11/locale
ninja -C build

    API

    While libxkbcommon’s API is somewhat derived from the classic XKB API as found in X11/extensions/XKB.h and friends, it has been substantially reworked to expose fewer internal details to clients.

    See the API Documentation.

    Dataset

    libxkbcommon does not distribute a keymap dataset itself, other than for testing purposes. The most common dataset is xkeyboard-config, which is used by all current distributions for their X11 XKB data. More information on xkeyboard-config is available here:

    https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/XKeyboardConfig

    The dataset for Compose is distributed in libX11, as part of the X locale data.

    Relation to X11

    See Compatibility notes.
