Some points to consider before a final release:
* Some people (like myself..:) prefer a directory structure
for include files like:
.../microwin/include/microwin/*.h
This makes it possible to say 'cc -I.../microwin/include' and
specify '#include <microwin/nano-X.h>' in the source files.
Specifying the header files as microwin/*.h helps avoid name
space pollution/conflicts, and makes it obvious where the
header files originate. This is similar to how X11 does
things fx.: /usr/include/X11/*.h
This is a major rewrite of how applications are written, and
should be considered now, before a release. By including both
-I$(TOPDIR)/include and -I$(TOPDIR)/include/microwin in the
Makefile, the demos shouldn't need rewriting, but the standard
could be defined (come to think of it, the demos probably should
follow the standard...)
* In gcc, sizeof(*(void *)) == 1, but this is not automatically
the case IIRC (it may even be configurable), so the pixel
increment code in GrArea in nanox/client.c should read something
like (this is not tested):
void
GrArea(GR_DRAW_ID id, GR_GC_ID gc, GR_COORD x, GR_COORD y, GR_SIZE width,
GR_SIZE height, void *pixels, int pixtype)
...
req->width = width;
req->height = chunk_y;
req->pixtype = pixtype;
memmove(GetReqData(req), pixels, size);
- pixels += size;
+ pixels = (void *)(((char *)pixels)+size);
y += chunk_y;
height -= chunk_y;
... in order to be portable.
This is just my NOK 0.5 from quickly browsing the new release. It looks
really good at first glance!
