Hello Josh, I did understand the compilation and generation of codes to some extent and did fail at few places, but II decided to finally move on. I then moved to xkb and facing some similar issues,there. [ Always seeing XKB.[h,c] is scary :( ]. SO I will shoot some question regarding code generation in my next few mails [ like why is bool treated as CARD8 and not _Bool or on what basis c_clien.py generates _maps or )vales typedefs :) ] Till then I would be regularly asking my doubts -> [1]. As of now I wish to play with the code and would be making a git repo @ gitorious [ I think its quiet late] . So can you please suggest me a way to test and play with code as you are an expert on the matter. [ Also my prime moto here is to understand the code genration and not the underlying facts in the code so is that idea wrong? ] I also wanted to talk something regarding to <a href="https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34037">Bug 34037</a> I tend to see it everyday but I am unable to escalate. I am not able to understand the bug much even with the provided description. :( Where should I look for the bug in the code? If you remember, once you said "I think you will find that the bug you linked to (fixing XCB's padding) represents a summer's worth of work by itself; plan on spending the bulk of your time there, and don't worry about anything else. If you get past that and still want more to do, we can easily come up with something. :)" So, [ Am I going very slow? Please speak to me bluntly as this is very important, with context to deadlines, work and assessments as I really want to know and would pace up more to give my best, By now almost 2 weeks are coming to an end and I feel very unsatisfied with my work, though still I am not sure, if I am judging my self very brutally or sympathetically] Also, I am unable to set my deadlines, please guide me on that Should I first concentrate on compilation and code generation? or what? Sorry to bother you so much, but sometimes I feel I need to talk to you or discuss something directly with you or even when I feel demotivated. Sir, It would be great if you could spare some time out of your busy schedule and hang out on IRC Regards Vikash Agrawal [1] - <a href="http://ietherpad.com/Yfn4iCrHkE">http://ietherpad.com/Yfn4iCrHkE</a>
