To quote from that mail (more details are in there):
First, the summary if you don't want to read the whole story: It looks
like _every_ structure having a fixed size field after a variadic
field/list is broken! Most other extensions are not affected as they've
the variadic stuff at the end of a structure - not intermixed with fixed
size fields.
[...]
This struct has a
- fixed size field (nameLength)
- variadic list (name)
- fixed size field (valueLength)
- variadic list (value).
Now, look at the generated structure:
typedef struct xcb_xkb_property_t {
uint16_t nameLength;
uint16_t valueLength; <-- doesn't belong here
} xcb_xkb_property_t;</pre>
