[Xcb] [proto] sync:int64 and int64 difference in sync.xml

[Christian Linhart]

Hi Asalle,

The datatype is INT64 (note the uppercase).

The prefix "sync:" is an import qualifier.
I.e. this means that it uses the struct INT64 which is defined in sync.xml.

Therefore the structure is just called "INT64", and that's ok.

Your code will not need to do anything special with that.
"xcb/proto/xcbgen" will handle that for you.

I hope this helps.

Best regards,

Chris

I found a similar struct called "int64" and, according to this letter <http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel/2013-November/038669.html> it should be called "sync:int64".
