It's a fairly high-level wrapper for TextBuffer in that it implements
file ops (load/save), searching, navigation, and formatting (simple
line-oriented with tab stops (currently at 4 spaces)).
While the key escape sequences are xterm-specific, they are only the
default and preliminary provision has been made for overriding them.
However, no override mechanism has been implemented beyond using dynamic
table lookup.
This allows for the four combinations of shift and control. Not
bothering with alt because alt-f4 closes my xterm (bbkeys from the looks
of it: it grabs a bunch of Mod1-* keys).
I left the ones below 256 alone (some were necessary anyway), but above
256 they were almost entirely sequential, which rather defeats the
purpose of using an enum, especially since it makes it difficult to
expand sections.
I'd left qwaq-curses running overnight and found it locked up: both
threads were looping because pthread_cond_timedwait was returning
EINVAL. Thus bail if anything other than 0 is returned, and try to
ensure tv_nsec is in the range 0..999999999
This doesn't fix the problem of lost events: that seems to be inside
ncurses. I've done some investigations, and it seems xterm sends
separate events for motion and pre/release (which have current coords),
in both 1003 and 1006 modes. No idea what ncurses is doing (does it even
handle 1003 properly?), and it requires the use of xterm-1006 for it to
use 1006 mode (which is nice in that it disambiguates button releases
and allows for huge terminals (not that I would use such normally)).
Guess I've got some side-work cut out for me :P
While writing the code I suspected this would be necessary, but it's
nice to know. Now the window seems to be correctly fetched, but
get_event locks up.
I realized that with dynamic thread creation the arrays resizing could
cause them to move around in memory which would be bad for anything
holding a pointer to the data, and even using indices wouldn't help that
much as the array would need to be mutex protected.
If none are specified, default to qwaq-app.dat (for now, anyway). For
each progs file, an optional args set can be specified in the same order
(separated by --). Missing sets default to empty, excess sets are
ignored.
The sets are separated by --, and the first set is passed to
getopt_long which currently recognizes only --qargs and non-options. The
--qargs options parses out a set (to -- or end of args) that is passed
to the qargs sub-system for standard qf command line parsing. Set 0 is
for the main qwaq application. Any additional sets (excluding --qargs)
will be used to spawn additional threads when that's working.
