2021-01-02*: replace the "shelf" with "contexts"Vito Caputo
This is unfortunately a bit of a large commit, but it's at least pretty much all on-topic for the generalized "contexts" feature. Rather than waste time trying to split this further into smaller commits, I'm just landing it as-is, now that I've lived with the interaction model long enough to not completely hate it. I fully expect to revisit this in the future. One TODO item in particular I'd like to note is "sending" windows to contexts always creates a new virtual desktop for the sent window in the destination context. What should really happen is the destination context should be checked for an empty desktop, and a new desktop created only when there isn't an empty one to be reused for receiving the sent window. Note this only affects non-migrate sends, as migrates (modified by Shift) explicitly use the existing focused desktop at the destination context. See the README for more information on how contexts work and what's different about the interaction model. It's fairly minimal, most of what you already know how to do should keep working as-is. The only oddity would be Mos1-s no longer "shelves" windows, it's now a modifier to turn "migrates" into "sends", and by itself is a noop now. Colors used for contexts haven't been refined and are enumerated in src/context_colors.def.

preparatory commit for generalized contexts replacing the shelf
2021-01-01*: return MRU object from _mru() funcsVito Caputo
minor ergonomic improvement; enables plain wrapping of creates or other relevant object pointers with _mru() calls without requiring an intermediate storage variable.
2020-12-23desktop: drop unused desktop namesVito Caputo
At some point I wanted to support naming virtual desktops, but that never materialized and I don't find myself wishing it was there.
2020-12-23*: introduce and use direction parameterVito Caputo
This adds a direction parameter to vwm_desktop_next{_mru}() and vwm_win_focus_next(), deprecating _prev() variants in favor of a vwm_direction_t parameter. XK_r has been wired up as a modifier for reversing the direction of actions like Mod1+Tab (window next MRU cycle) and Mod1+Space (desktop next MRU cycle). So now if you overshoot, simply hold the "r" key and repeat the operation to go back, much like how Shift is often used for reversing alt+tab in i.e. Windows.
2020-12-23direction: introduce vwm_direction_t enum typeVito Caputo
Preparations for adding support for reversing {window,desktop} list traversal directions. A subsequent commit will introduce a direction flag of this type to the relevant functions.

Been slowly deprecating the @gnugeneration.com address...
2020-05-09libvmon: trivial cosmetic changesVito Caputo
The code is still quite messy, just some minor cleanups.
2020-05-08libvmon: remove unused _MOVE_STALE_TO_FRONT stuffVito Caputo
This was an experimental thing that isn't applicable to vwm, and will only become less relevant as time progresses if libvmon receives some attention.
2020-05-08libvmon: fix bug in proc_follow_children()Vito Caputo
There's an optimization where the search start pointer is advanced on matches, to resume searching from the last matched position. The assumption is that the in-memory list order and the order coming out of the proc file will align. Except using the standard list iterator, this would treat the list head @ &proc->children as just another node in the list. In the unlikely case where &proc->children treated as a siblings member in a vmon_proc_t actually resulted in contents lining up as a match, the generation update would scribble over part of the parent pointer member, making things crashy when the parent was dereferenced later in the fuction. This commit just makes it skip over the &proc->children node if encountered, just like in proc_follow_threads(). Hopefully this eliminates the remaining very rare vwm crashes that occur during big parallel builds of the kernel or systemd.
2019-09-23charts: introduce snprintf helper snpf()Vito Caputo
Cleanup previous commit that littered MIN length clamping everywhere %n was being used w/snprintf. Removed the %n usage altogether and just clamps the return value out of snprintf to the buffer size minus one for the null terminator. The standard C library has such awful warts :/
2019-07-14charts: clamp %n length to buffer sizeVito Caputo
It appears I overlooked that %n returns the length that would have been printed regardless of the destination buffer size, not what was actually written. The man page is misleading here: n The number of characters written so far is stored into the integer pointed to by the corresponding argument. That argument shall be an int *, or variant whose size matches the (optionally) supplied integer length modifier. No argu‐ ment is converted. (This specifier is not supported by the bionic C library.) The behavior is undefined if the conver‐ sion specification includes any flags, a field width, or a precision. In testing, it isn't the count of what's actually written. It's oblivious of truncated output scenarios where the output buffer has been exhausted before reaching the %n. The man page should be clarified here. This commit does the simplest thing and simply clamps the length to the destination buffer - 1 (for the \0). %n is being used to avoid needing an strlen() in this somewhat hot path, but it might make sense to instead use the snprintf return value similarly clamped instead of %n since %n isn't doing what was expected.

2018-10-23window: vwm_win_focus_next() skip shelf unmap/mapVito Caputo
When the shelf isn't the currently focused context but the focus next is relative to the focus context the mapping manipulation shouldn't be performed. This would cause unexpected appearance of shelved windows in a virtual desktop should a shelved window become invisibly unmanaged. Simple way to repro is to shelf an mplayer window. When the movie finishes, if you're on a desktop, out of nowhere the next shelved window appears but you're not supposed to be looking at the shelf. A simple visit to the shelf then back to the desktop would undo the anomaly, but it's trivial to fix - hell there was already a FIXME/TODO sitting there.

2017-12-29charts: fix ancestor siblings check segfaultVito Caputo
This loop assumed ancestor->parent was !NULL, and that's not necessarily always true. Due to these circular linked lists from the kernel's list.h, they're not simply NULL delimited and we need the pointer to the actual head to detect the end of the list. In libvmon, the head for the siblings list is either the parent proc's children member, or the processes member of the vmon struct. It may be more elegant to switch to always having a root proc in libvmon, even if it's just synthetic, for simplifying this crap. But for now, just determine which head is relevant and check against it for loop termination. Under some heavy parallel kernel compilations I was seeing occasional vwm segfaults, and the addr2line of the ip in dmesg mapped to this particular loop. I'm assuming the ancestor walk landed on a top-level process and then this sibling detection tried dereferencing the top-level proc's NULL parent and boom, segfault.
2017-11-28window: discover allscreen on configure tooVito Caputo
Previously only windows fitting the screen dimensions @ assimilate would become automagically "allscreened". Newer mplayer seems to break this heuristic, so expand the application of the heuristic to include configure requests as well.
2017-11-28screen: raw rectangle coords for vwm_screen_find()Vito Caputo
Adds VWM_SCREEN_REL_RECT so a screen can be located without a formal xwin, just supply the x,y,width,height.
2017-11-27window: improve vwm_win_manage_xwin() tracingVito Caputo
Use VWM_TRACE_WIN() and add a trace for when we try manage an xwin.

2017-10-05*: handle FocusIn eventsVito Caputo
Some programs call XSetInputFocus(), so we should select FocusChangeEvent and handle FocusIn events, calling vwm_win_set_focus() when appropriate. It's rare, but SDL2 programs in particular seem to do this and vwm gets in a pretty annoying state when it does occur. This change should improve the situation.
2017-10-05window: split out focused window setterVito Caputo
vwm_win_focus() previously simultaneously told the X server to set the input focus on the window (if mapped) and set the internal vwm state of the window to focused. These are really two separate operations: 1. request the X server to focus the window 2. change vwm's concept of the currently focused window Since clients can call XSetInputFocus() as well, there's need for doing step 2 discretely in response to FocusIn events. Nothing is functionally different after this commit, it just exposes step 2 as a separate vwm_win_set_focused() function for a future commit to leverage in handling of FocusIn events.
2017-10-05*: s/vwm_win_focused/vwm_win_get_focused/Vito Caputo
2017-10-04clickety: always (re)focus clicked windowVito Caputo
Currently vwm doesn't notice when something else takes the input focus. In some situations, this can leave a desktop without any focused windows, and no way to focus one because the only window is already focused as far as vwm knows. As a stop-gap solution, remove the !focused condition to the focus-on-window-click block. This way one can always force a window to be focused by simply mod-clicking the window.
2017-04-07window: move console identification to helperVito Caputo
2017-04-04window: drop configuring member from vwm_window_tVito Caputo
Rather than setting this configuring flag for the sake of vwm_screen_is_empty() to ignore, simply supply the xwin to ignore if desired.

2017-03-27charts: don't copy or free zero chartsVito Caputo
This was mixed up a bit in the cleanups... charts of !width represent the uninitialized charts, so don't copy or free them instead of inhibiting just the copy.
2017-03-27charts: reduce CHART_MAX_ARGC from 512 to 64Vito Caputo
`make tags` in the linux kernel revealed that XDrawText can return a BadLength error, which is not mentioned in the man page. Glancing at the xorg-server source for doPolyText() this is found: 1192 else { /* print a string */ 1193 1194 unsigned char *pNextElt; 1195 1196 pNextElt = c->pElt + TextEltHeader + (*c->pElt) * itemSize; 1197 if (pNextElt > c->endReq) { 1198 err = BadLength; 1199 goto bail; 1200 } So there appears to bea fairly arbitrary ceiling on how many items one can pass to XDrawText, and it probably depends on the cumulative length of the individual items overflowing the maximum request length. Well.. that's lame, and shrinking the maximum items makes it less likely to trip over this in practice, but it probably just takes a long enough individual item to trigger it again. I had erred on the side of "excessively long" assuming XDrawText would just deal and clip the text to the bounds of the destination drawable, just in case there was an argv with lots of tiny items, then that would be covered. This approach is incompatible with the potential for BadLength errors, so drastically shrinking the maximum number of items until further notice.
2017-03-25build: add -Wall to configure.ac for CFLAGSVito Caputo
2017-03-25libvmon: wrap X-Macro parser state in a structVito Caputo
This makes no functional difference, but silences warnings about unused variables when -Wall is enabled.
2017-03-25*: add some missing includesVito Caputo
2017-03-25vmon: two trivial cleanupsVito Caputo
2017-03-25overlays: rename overlays.[ch]->charts.[ch]Vito Caputo
2017-03-25overlays: rename overlays->chartsVito Caputo
vmon introduces a non-overlay usage, monitors is correct but ambiguous, graphs is also amiguous, charts is short and distinctive. renaming of the files comes in a separate, future commit.
2017-03-25overlays: define the libvmon wantsVito Caputo
2017-03-25overlays: handle errors in vwm_overlays_create()Vito Caputo
The font one in particular is likely on random systems...
2017-03-25overlays: just some tidying of the chaosVito Caputo
This is nowhere near done, but it's a step in the right direction. Making an attempt to clarify the overlays code and reduce the amount of awful muddy raw Xrender calls scattered all over the place.
2017-03-25*: more minor style fixupsVito Caputo
2017-03-25composite: fix root_buffer leak on invalidate rootVito Caputo
This doesn't happen frequently and has gone utterly unnoticed as harmless, but it's something I noticed in reviewing the code for more lingering style issues.
2017-03-25*: restore old indentation of switch casesVito Caputo
In the course of applying the new style over the rest of the code I decided it's obnoxiouos and prefer the old way of indenting the cases one level from the switch. I know it wastes horizontal space and can see the value of flattening the cases with the switch, but once you start having variables at the start of the switch body, and blocked cases, it just starts becoming quite unattractive without the indentation.
2017-03-25*: s/malloc/calloc/Vito Caputo
Eliminate some 0/NULL initializations.
2017-03-25xwindow: s/xwindow->mapped/xwindow->client_mapped/Vito Caputo
This member reflects if the window is mapped from the client's perspective, not necessarily if the window is currently mapped (since vwm maps and unmaps windows the client has mapped in the course of providing virtual desktops) Changing the name for better clarity, since it's a bit ambiguous as-is.
2017-03-25xevent: use vwm_win_map() instead of XMapWindow()Vito Caputo
In vwm_xevent_handle_map_request() XMapWindow was always directly being called. When we have a vwin, we really shouldn't be calling XMapWindow() since we can't detect the generated MapNotify like we can with vwm_win_map().
2017-03-24xevent: cleanup vwm_xevent_handle_map_request()Vito Caputo
Long overdue tidying of the map request handling. This moves all the window classifying and placement stuff into a separate helper, adding a call to that in vwm_win_manage_xwin(), where this always belonged. The map request handling now just manages windows that aren't already managed, then lets the usual "is this window mapped?" logic filter the map request. This should fix a lingering bug where a window on the unfocused desktop would become spuriously visible if the client mapped it. Firefox started doing this recently when a page finished loading.
