yeah, I can't quite see how we can take this as-is given the Xlib typedef horror show -- XID in Xlib is defined as unsigned long, and so the whole Xlib API is broken on 64-bit machines. We really do need separate Xlib and X server definitions for any XID-derived type (and probably some others as well). Note that the protocol types are #define'd at the start of Xproto.h and #undef'd at the end so that clients can use Xproto.h with Window as CARD32 and still use Xlib with Window as unsigned long. There are lots of possibilities here; none of them pretty, but I do suggest that the ugly hacks should land in Xlib and not in the shared protocol headers. -- [email protected]
