Uhm, sorry, but *why*? Can't you just put this function into your own
code with a name of your liking? Why do you think this needs to be in
libxcb?

Also, are you sure the function above really does what you want it to
do? Aren't you instead looking for the already existing xcb_str_name()?

And for the question about naming conventions: Well... kind of. Since
most of the code is automatically generated from an XML description, I
guess "what the code generator does" is the naming convention. It all
maps pretty mechanical to the XML, I think.

Cheers,
Uli
