[Xcb] [PATCH v2] expose 64-bit sequence numbers for XLib

Wed Apr 29 00:11:37 PDT 2015


From: Christian Linhart <chris at demorecorder.com>

While XCB uses 64-bit sequence number internally, it only exposes
"unsigned int" so that, on 32-bit architecture, Xlib based applications
may see their sequence number wrap which causes the connection to the X
server to be lost.

Expose 64-bit sequence number from XCB API so that Xlib and others can
use it even on 32-bit environment.

This implies the following API addition:

  xcb_send_request64()
  xcb_discard_reply64()
  xcb_wait_for_reply64()
  xcb_poll_for_reply64()

 v2: Add impl. for xcb_send_request64() that can be used to retrieve
     a 64-bit sequence number to pass to xcb_discard_reply64() (as XCB
     cookies use unsigned int) following Joosh and Uli's reviews.
     Add more explicit comments about the  64-bit API addition as per 
     Uli's review.
     Add a commit message for git along with signed-off statements.
