Because our "popen" implementation uses stdio, and because nobody's stdio
library is capable of surviving signals, we need to make absolutely sure
that we hide the SIGALRM from the smart scheduler. Otherwise, when you
open a menu in openoffice, and it recompiles XKB to deal with the
accelerators, and you popen xkbcomp because we suck, then the scheduler
will tell you you're taking forever doing something stupid, and the
wait() code will get confused, and input will hang and your CPU usage
slams to 100%. Down, not across.
This adds a bit of glue to configure.ac to support launchd detection;
on OS X (or other platforms which choose to implement launchd), this allows
the system to automagically start the Xserver as necessary to serve clients.
MAXBUFSIZE appears to be a leftover of some previous time. Instead, just
use maxBigRequestSize when bigreqs are available (limiting buffers to ~16MB).
When bigreqs are not available, needed won't be larger than the maximum
size of a non-bigreqs request (256kB).
Before you complain, this code hasn't seen material change since at least
X11R6. It certainly does not build with any modern version of Kerberos.
Anybody wanting krb5 auth to their X server should probably be using
GSSAPI instead of internal krb5 API anyway.
arbitrary X status codes instead of just TRUE/FALSE.
The dix layer in most cases still does not propagate the return value of
XACE hooks back to the client, however. There is more error propagation
work to do.
Default core size limit for most environments is 0, which disables core
dumps. Add code in the -core option processing path to set the core limit to
the maximum value.
The former <X11/extensions/XKBsrv.h> has been pulled into the server now as
include/xkbsrv.h, and the world updated to look for it in the new place,
since it made no sense to define server API in an extension header. Any
further work along this line will need to do similar things with XKBgeom.h
and friends.
This keeps us from having to define _POSIX_C_SOURCE, _BSD_SOURCE, and
_XOPEN_SORUCE to get the C environment we want in different places. It also
fixes the build on linux due to RTLD_DEFAULT having not been defined.
automake will not stop whining about the *.O files not being in normal library
name format, so just tell automake they are PROGRAMS so it builds them without
bitching.
Solaris headers are very literal - if you ask for POSIX_C_SOURCE 199309L,
they limit to only the functions in that standard and no more, unless you
also specify __EXTENSIONS__ to allow functions beyond the standard base.
