Sed pass restricted to files outside src/backend/x11 and outside
*_x11.c — i.e. all code that should not depend on X11 typedefs.
Window → WNativeWindow (existing typedef in WMEvent.h)
Atom → WMNativeAtom
Pixmap → WMNativePixmap
Cursor → WMNativeCursor
Drawable → WMDrawable (existing typedef)
KeySym → WMNativeKeysym
Colormap → WMNativeColormap
X11 backend files keep using the original Xlib type names because
they make Xlib API calls that take those types. All typedefs are
ultimately 'unsigned long' so values pass through opaquely between
shared code and the backend.
Public WINGs API affected: WMSelectionCallback, WMSelectionProcs,
and a handful of widget signatures that took Atom/Window arguments
now take WMNativeAtom/WNativeWindow. Source-compatible at the
binary level; consumers must rebuild.
Time and XID typedefs left for a follow-up — both are heavily used
in field/variable names that need careful auditing. Display* and
GC stay in W_Screen for now; phase δ moves them into an X11-only
sub-struct.
WMHandleEvent is the middle layer — it must not contain any
backend-specific code. Move view lookup to _view_target field
set by each event backend during fetch. Move XRefreshKeyboardMapping
and XFilterEvent into x11_fetch. Selection and DND handling removed
from middle layer (handled by extraEventHandler in the WM layer).
The _x11_raw field remains in WMEvent for now (used by src/event.c
and other WM-layer code that still needs the raw XEvent), but the
middle layer no longer touches it.
Key changes in wl_backend.c:
- wl_atom_intern: call XInternAtom on XWayland display (was returning 0)
- Add wl_or_view struct to track override_redirect XWayland surfaces
- handle_xwayland_new_surface: composite OR surfaces via scene graph
- frame_create_toplevel/child: create real X11 windows on XWayland
- frame_destroy/configure: delegate to Xlib
- window_map/unmap/move/resize: fall through to Xlib for frame windows
- stacking_raise/lower: update scene graph + Xlib fallback
- event_flush/sync: call XFlush/XSync on XWayland display
- window_set_border/border_width/clear: delegate to Xlib
- window_get_rect: query XWayland geometry for non-toplevel windows
Note: frame creation via XWayland is a temporary bridge. The correct
architectural approach is native scene-buffer rendering with pixman.
