<pre>After discussing this with Daniel Martin on irc, the problem in this specific
instance is the following snippet in the generated xinput.c:
int
xcb_input_xi_device_info_sizeof (const void *_buffer /**< */)
{
char *xcb_tmp = (char *)_buffer;
[...]
unsigned int xcb_block_len = 0;
[...]
xcb_block_len += sizeof(xcb_input_xi_device_info_t);
xcb_tmp += xcb_block_len;
/* name */
xcb_block_len += (((_aux->name_len + 3) / 4) * 4) * sizeof(char);
xcb_tmp += xcb_block_len;
[...]
}
There's a missing
xcb_block_len = 0;
above the /* name */ comment, which results in xcb_tmp being incremented by
sizeof(xcb_input_xi_device_info_t) twice, which is of course one too many.
This function xcb_input_xi_device_info_sizeof() is used by
xcb_input_xi_device_info_next(), which is used in the test program, which
therefore doesn't work.
Daniel says the problemtic section in c_client.py is this:
<a href="http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xcb/libxcb/tree/src/c_client.py?id=0289348f2c4ed3b1b286c51df19d82c6787c2b36#n1015">http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xcb/libxcb/tree/src/c_client.py?id=0289348f2c4ed3b1b286c51df19d82c6787c2b36#n1015</a>
But that simply adding a 'xcb_block_len = 0;' there breaks other iterators.
The same issue also affects other requests, like XKB's GetGeometry.</pre>
