Having now been adopted by the Consortium as -a standard part of the X Window System, it is expected that this and -future revisions will retain -backward compatibility in the sense that fully conforming -implementations of these specifications may be produced that provide -source compatibility with widgets and applications written to -previous Consortium standard revisions. -.LP -The \*(xI do not place any special requirement on widget -programmers to retain source or binary compatibility for their widgets -as they evolve, but several conventions have been established to -assist those developers who want to provide such compatibility. -.LP -In particular, widget programmers may wish to conform to the convention -described in Section 1.6.12 when defining class extension records. - -.NH 2 -Determining Specification Revision Level -.XS -\fB\*(SN Determining Specification Revision Level\fP -.XE -.LP -Widget and application developers who wish to maintain a common source -pool that will build properly with implementations of the \*(xI -at different revision levels of these specifications but that take -advantage of newer features added in later revisions may use the -symbolic macro -.PN XtSpecificationRelease . -.LP -.Ds 0 -#define XtSpecificationRelease 6 -.De -.IN "XtSpecificationRelease" "" "@DEF@" -.LP -As the symbol -.PN XtSpecificationRelease -was new to Release 4, widgets and -applications desiring to build against earlier implementations should -test for the presence of this symbol and assume only Release 3 -interfaces if the definition is not present. - -.NH 2 -Release 3 to Release 4 Compatibility -.XS -\fB\*(SN Release 3 to Release 4 Compatibility\fP -.XE -.LP -At the data structure level, Release 4 retains binary compatibility -with Release 3 (the first X Consortium standard release) for all data -structures except -.PN WMShellPart, -.PN TopLevelShellPart , -and -.PN TransientShellPart . -Release 4 changed the argument type to most procedures that now take -arguments of type -.PN XtPointer -and structure members that are now of type -.PN XtPointer -in order to avoid potential ANSI C conformance problems. It is -expected that most implementations will be binary compatible with the -previous definition. -.LP -Two fields in -.PN CoreClassPart -were changed from -.PN Boolean -to -.PN XtEnum -to allow implementations additional freedom in specifying the -representations of each. This change should require no source -modification. - -.NH 3 -Additional Arguments -.XS -\*(SN Additional Arguments -.XE -.LP -Arguments were added to the procedure definitions for -.PN XtInitProc , -.PN XtSetValuesFunc , -and -.PN XtEventHandler -to provide more information and to -allow event handlers to abort further dispatching of the current event -(caution is advised!). The added arguments to -.PN XtInitProc -and -.PN XtSetValuesFunc -make the initialize_hook and set_values_hook methods -obsolete, but the hooks have been retained for those widgets that used -them in Release 3. - -.NH 3 -set_values_almost Procedures -.XS -\*(SN set_values_almost Procedures -.XE -.LP -The use of the arguments by a set_values_almost procedure was poorly -described in Release 3 and was inconsistent with other conventions. -.LP -The current specification for the manner in which a set_values_almost -procedure returns information to the \*(xI is not compatible with -the Release 3 specification, and all widget implementations should -verify that any set_values_almost procedures conform to the current -interface. -.LP -No known implementation of the \*(xI correctly implemented the -Release 3 interface, so it is expected that the impact of this -specification change is small. - -.NH 3 -Query Geometry -.XS -\*(SN Query Geometry -.XE -.LP -A composite widget layout routine that calls -.PN XtQueryGeometry -is now expected to store the complete new geometry in the intended structure; -previously the specification said ``store the changes it intends to -make''. Only by storing the complete geometry does the child have -any way to know what other parts of the geometry may still be -flexible. Existing widgets should not be affected by this, except -to take advantage of the new information. - -.NH 3 -unrealizeCallback Callback List -.XS -\*(SN unrealizeCallback Callback List -.XE -.LP -In order to provide a mechanism for widgets to be notified when they -become unrealized through a call to -.PN XtUnrealizeWidget , -the callback -list name ``unrealizeCallback'' has been defined by the \*(xI. A -widget class that requires notification on unrealize may declare a -callback list resource by this name. No class is required to declare -this resource, but any class that did so in a prior revision may find -it necessary to modify the resource name if it does not wish to use the new -semantics. - -.NH 3 -Subclasses of WMShell -.XS -\*(SN Subclasses of WMShell -.XE -.LP -The formal adoption of the \fI\*(xC\fP as -an X Consortium standard has meant the addition of four fields to -.PN WMShellPart -and one field to -.PN TopLevelShellPart . -In deference to some -widget libraries that had developed their own additional conventions -to provide binary compatibility, these five new fields were added at -the end of the respective data structures. -.LP -To provide more convenience for TransientShells, a field was added -to the previously empty -.PN TransientShellPart . -On some architectures the size of the part structure will not -have changed as a result of this. -.LP -Any widget implementation whose class is a subclass of -TopLevelShell -or -TransientShell -must at minimum be -recompiled with the new data structure declarations. Because -.PN WMShellPart -no longer contains a contiguous -.PN XSizeHints -data structure, -a subclass that expected to do a single structure assignment of an -.PN XSizeHints -structure to the \fIsize_hints\fP field of -.PN WMShellPart -must be revised, though the old fields remain at the same positions within -.PN WMShellPart . - -.NH 3 -Resource Type Converters -.XS -\*(SN Resource Type Converters -.XE -.LP -A new interface declaration for resource type converters was defined -to provide more information to converters, to support conversion -cache cleanup with resource reference counting, and to allow -additional procedures to be declared to free resources. The old -interfaces remain (in the compatibility section), and a new set of -procedures was defined that work only with the new type converter -interface. -.LP -In the now obsolete old type converter interface, converters are -reminded that they must return the size of the converted value as well -as its address. The example indicated this, but the description of -.PN XtConverter -was incomplete. - -.NH 3 -KeySym Case Conversion Procedure -.XS -\*(SN KeySym Case Conversion Procedure -.XE -.LP -The specification for the -.PN XtCaseProc -function type has been changed -to match the Release 3 implementation, which included necessary -additional information required by the function (a pointer to the -display connection), and corrects the argument type of the source -KeySym parameter. No known implementation of the \*(xI -implemented the previously documented interface. - -.NH 3 -Nonwidget Objects -.XS -\*(SN Nonwidget Objects -.XE -.LP -Formal support for nonwidget objects is new to Release 4. A -prototype implementation was latent in at least one Release 3 -implementation of the \*(xI, but the specification has changed -somewhat. The most significant change is the requirement for a -composite widget to declare the -.PN CompositeClassExtension -record with the \fIaccepts_objects\fP field set to -.PN True -in order to permit a client to create a nonwidget child. -.LP -The addition of this extension field ensures that composite widgets -written under Release 3 will not encounter unexpected errors if an -application attempts to create a nonwidget child. In Release 4 there -is no requirement that all composite widgets implement the extra -functionality required to manage windowless children, so the -\fIaccepts_objects\fP field allows a composite widget to declare that it -is not prepared to do so. - -.NH 2 -Release 4 to Release 5 Compatibility -.XS -\fB\*(SN Release 4 to Release 5 Compatibility\fP -.XE -.LP -At the data structure level, Release 5 retains complete binary -compatibility with Release 4. The specification of the -.PN ObjectPart , -.PN RectObjPart , -.PN CorePart , -.PN CompositePart , -.PN ShellPart , -.PN WMShellPart , -.PN TopLevelShellPart , -and -.PN ApplicationShellPart -instance records was made less strict to permit implementations to -add internal fields to these structures. Any implementation that -chooses to do so would, of course, force a recompilation. -The Xlib specification for -.PN XrmValue -and -.PN XrmOptionDescRec -was updated to use a new type, -.PN XPointer , -for the \fIaddr\fP and \fIvalue\fP fields, respectively, to avoid -ANSI C conformance problems. The definition of -.PN XPointer -is binary compatible with the previous implementation. - -.NH 3 -baseTranslations Resource -.XS -\fB\*(SN baseTranslations Resource\fP -.XE - -.LP -A new pseudo-resource, XtNbaseTranslations, was defined to permit -application developers to specify translation tables in application -defaults files while still giving end users the ability to augment -or override individual event sequences. This change will affect -only those applications that wish to take advantage of the new -functionality or those widgets that may have previously defined -a resource named ``baseTranslations''. -.LP -Applications wishing to take advantage of the new functionality -would change their application defaults file, e.g., from -.Ds - app.widget.translations: \fIvalue\fP -.DE -to -.Ds - app.widget.baseTranslations: \fIvalue\fP -.DE -If it is important to the application to preserve complete -compatibility of the defaults file between different versions -of the application running under Release 4 and Release 5, -the full translations can be replicated in both the ``translations'' -and the ``baseTranslations'' resource. - -.NH 3 -Resource File Search Path -.XS -\fB\*(SN Resource File Search Path\fP -.XE - -.LP -The current specification allows implementations greater flexibility -in defining the directory structure used to hold the application class -and per-user application defaults files. Previous specifications -required the substitution strings to appear in the default path in a -certain order, preventing sites from collecting all the files for -a specific application together in one directory. The Release 5 -specification allows the default path to specify the substitution -strings in any order within a single path entry. Users will need to -pay close attention to the documentation for the specific -implementation to know where to find these files and how to specify -their own -.PN \s-1XFILESEARCHPATH\s+1 -and -.PN \s-1XUSERFILESEARCHPATH\s+1 -values when overriding the system defaults. - -.NH 3 -Customization Resource -.XS -\fB\*(SN Customization Resource\fP -.XE - -.LP -.PN XtResolvePathname -supports a new substitution string, %C, for specifying separate -application class resource files according to arbitrary user-specified -categories. The primary motivation for this addition was separate -monochrome and color application class defaults files. The -substitution value is obtained by querying the current resource -database for the application resource name ``customization'', class -``Customization''. Any application that previously used this -resource name and class will need to be aware of the possibly -conflicting semantics. - -.NH 3 -Per-Screen Resource Database -.XS -\fB\*(SN Per-Screen Resource Database\fP -.XE - -.LP -To allow a user to specify separate preferences for each screen of a -display, a per-screen resource specification string has been added and -multiple resource databases are created; one for each screen. This -will affect any application that modified the (formerly unique) -resource database associated with the display subsequent to the \*(xI -database initialization. Such applications will need to be aware -of the particular screen on which each shell widget is to be created. -.LP -Although the wording of the specification changed substantially in the -description of the process by which the resource database(s) is -initialized, the net effect is the same as in prior releases with the -exception of the added per-screen resource specification and the new -customization substitution string in -.PN XtResolvePathname . - -.NH 3 -Internationalization of Applications -.XS -\fB\*(SN Internationalization of Applications\fP -.XE - -.LP -Internationalization as defined by ANSI is a technology that -allows support of an application in a single locale. In -adding support for internationalization to the \*(xI -the restrictions of this model have been followed. -In particular, the new \*(xI interfaces are designed not to -preclude an application from using other alternatives. -For this reason, no \*(xI routine makes a call to establish the -locale. However, a convenience routine to establish the -locale at initialize time has been provided, in the form -of a default procedure that must be explicitly installed -if the application desires ANSI C locale behavior. -.LP -As many objects in X, particularly resource databases, now inherit -the global locale when they are created, applications wishing to use -the ANSI C locale model should use the new function -.PN XtSetLanguageProc -to do so. -.LP -The internationalization additions also define event filters -as a part of the Xlib Input Method specifications. The -\*(xI enable the use of event filters through additions to -.PN XtDispatchEvent . -Applications that may not be dispatching all events through -.PN XtDispatchEvent -should be reviewed in the context of this new input method mechanism. -.LP -In order to permit internationalization of error messages, the name -and path of the error database file are now allowed to be -implementation-dependent. -No adequate standard mechanism has yet been suggested to -allow the \*(xI to locate the database from localization information -supplied by the client. -.LP -The previous specification for the syntax of the language string -specified by -.PN xnlLanguage -has been dropped to avoid potential conflicts with other standards. -The language string syntax is now implementation-defined. -The example syntax cited is consistent with the previous -specification. - -.NH 3 -Permanently Allocated Strings -.XS -\*(SN Permanently Allocated Strings -.XE - -.LP -In order to permit additional memory savings, an Xlib interface was -added to allow the resource manager to avoid copying certain string -constants. The \*(xI specification was updated to explicitly require -the Object \fIclass_name\fP, \fIresource_name\fP, \fIresource_class\fP, -\fIresource_type\fP, \fIdefault_type\fP in resource tables, Core \fIactions\fP -\fIstring\fP field, and Constraint \fIresource_name\fP, \fIresource_class\fP, -\fIresource_type\fP, and \fIdefault_type\fP resource fields to be -permanently allocated. This explicit requirement is expected to -affect only applications that may create and destroy classes -on the fly. - -.NH 3 -Arguments to Existing Functions -.XS -\fB\*(SN Arguments to Existing Functions\fP -.XE - -.LP -The \fIargs\fP argument to -.PN XtAppInitialize , -.PN XtVaAppInitialize , -.PN XtOpenDisplay , -.PN XtDisplayInitialize , -and -.PN XtInitialize -were changed from -.PN Cardinal * -to int* to conform to pre-existing convention and avoid otherwise -annoying typecasting in ANSI C environments. - -.NH 2 -Release 5 to Release 6 Compatibility -.XS -\fB\*(SN Release 5 to Release 6 Compatibility\fP -.XE -.LP -At the data structure level, Release 6 retains binary compatibility -with Release 5 for all data structures except -.PN WMShellPart . -Three resources were added to the specification. -The known implementations had unused space in the data structure, -therefore on some architectures and implementations, -the size of the part structure will not have changed as a result of this. - -.NH 3 -Widget Internals -.XS -\*(SN Widget Internals -.XE -.LP -Two new widget methods for instance allocation and deallocation were added -to the Object class. These new methods -allow widgets to be treated as C++ objects in the C++ environment -when an appropriate allocation method is specified or inherited -by the widget class. -.LP -The textual descriptions of the processes of widget creation and -widget destruction have been edited to provide clarification to widget -writers. Widgets writers may have reason to rely on the specific order of -the stages of widget creation and destruction; with that motivation, -the specification now more exactly describes the process. -.LP -As a convenience, an interface to locate a widget class extension -record on a linked list, -.PN XtGetClassExtension , -has been added. -.LP -A new option to allow bundled changes to the managed set of a Composite -widget is introduced in the Composite class extension record. -Widgets that define a change_managed procedure that can accommodate -additions and deletions to the managed set of children in a single -invocation should set allows_change_managed_set to \fBTrue\fP in the -extension record. -.LP -The wording of the process followed by -.PN XtUnmanageChildren -has changed slightly to better handle changes to the managed set -during phase 2 destroy processing. -.LP -A new exposure event compression flag, -.PN XtExposeNoRegion , -was added. Many widgets specify exposure compression, but either -ignore the actual damage region passed to the core expose procedure or -use only the cumulative bounding box data available in the event. -Widgets with expose procedures that do not make use of exact -exposure region information can indicate that the \*(xI need not -compute the region. - -.NH 3 -General Application Development -.XS -\*(SN General Application Development -.XE -.LP -.PN XtOpenApplication -is a new convenience procedure to initialize the toolkit, create an -application context, open an X display connection, and create the -root of the widget instance tree. It is identical to the interface -it replaces, -.PN XtAppInitialize , -in all respects except that it takes an additional argument specifying -the widget class of the root shell to create. -This interface is now the recommended one so that clients may easily -become session participants. -The old convenience procedures appear in the compatibility section. -.LP -The toolkit initialization function -.PN XtToolkitInitialize -may be called multiple times without penalty. -.LP -In order to optimize changes in geometry to a set of geometry-managed -children, a new interface, -.PN XtChangeManagedSet , -has been added. - -.NH 3 -Communication with Window and Session Managers -.XS -\*(SN Communication with Window and Session Managers -.XE -.LP -The revision of the \fI\*(xC\fP as an X Consortium standard has resulted -in the addition of three fields to the specification of -.PN WMShellPart . -These are \fIurgency\fP, \fIclient_leader\fP, and \fIwindow_role\fP. -.LP -The adoption of the \fIX Session Management Protocol\fP as an X Consortium -standard has resulted in the addition of a new shell widget, -.PN SessionShell , -and an accompanying subclass verification interface, -.PN XtIsSessionShell . -This widget provides support for communication between an application -and a session manager, as well as a window manager. -In order to preserve compatibility with existing subclasses of -.PN ApplicationShell , -the -.PN ApplicationShell -was subclassed to create the new widget class. -The session protocol requires a modal response to certain checkpointing -operations by participating applications. The -.PN SessionShell -structures -the application's notification of and responses to messages from the session -manager by use of various callback lists and by use of the new interfaces -.PN XtSessionGetToken -and -.PN XtSessionReturnToken . -There is also a new command line argument, -xtsessionID, which facilitates -the session manager in restarting applications based on the \*(xI. -.LP -The resource name and class strings defined by the \*(xI shell -widgets in -.Pn < X11/Shell.h > -are now listed in Appendix E. The addition of a new symbol -for the -.PN WMShell -\fIwait_for_wm\fP resource was made to bring the external symbol -and the string it represents into agreement. The actual resource name -string in -.PN WMShell -has not changed. -The resource representation type of the XtNwinGravity resource of the -.PN WMShell -was changed to XtRGravity in order to register a type -converter so that window gravity resource values could be specified by name. - -.NH 3 -Geometry Management -.XS -\*(SN Geometry Management -.XE -.LP -A clarification to the specification was made to indicate that geometry -requests may include current values along with the requested changes. - -.NH 3 -Event Management -.XS -\*(SN Event Management -.XE -.LP -In Release 6, support is provided for registering selectors -and event handlers for events generated by X protocol extensions -and for dispatching those events to the appropriate widget. -The new event handler registration interfaces are -.PN XtInsertEventTypeHandler -and -.PN XtRemoveEventTypeHandler . -Since the mechanism to indicate selection of extension events is specific -to the extension being used, the \*(xI introduces -.PN XtRegisterExtensionSelector , -which allows the application to select for the events of interest. -In order to change the dispatching algorithm to accommodate extension events -as well as core X protocol events, -the \*(xI event dispatcher may now be replaced or enveloped -by the application with -.PN XtSetEventDispatcher . -The dispatcher may wish to call -.PN XtGetKeyboardFocusWidget -to determine the widget with the current \*(xI keyboard focus. -A dispatcher, after determining the destination widget, may use -.PN XtDispatchEventToWidget -to cause the event to be dispatched to the event handlers registered -by a specific widget. -.LP -To permit the dispatching of events -for nonwidget drawables, such as pixmaps that are not associated -with a widget's window, -.PN XtRegisterDrawable -and -.PN XtUnregisterDrawable -have been added to the library. A related update was made to -the description of -.PN XtWindowToWidget . -.LP -The library is now thread-safe, allowing one thread at a time to -enter the library and protecting global data as necessary from concurrent use. -Threaded toolkit applications are supported by the -new interfaces -.PN XtToolkitThreadInitialize , -.PN XtAppLock , -.PN XtAppUnlock , -.PN XtAppSetExitFlag , -and -.PN XtAppGetExitFlag . -Widget writers may also use -.PN XtProcessLock -and -.PN XtProcessUnlock . -.LP -Safe handling of POSIX signals and other asynchronous notifications -is now provided by use of -.PN XtAppAddSignal , -.PN XtNoticeSignal , -and -.PN XtRemoveSignal . -.LP -The application can receive notification of an impending block -in the \*(xI event manager by registering interest through -.PN XtAppAddBlockHook -and -.PN XtRemoveBlockHook . -.LP -.PN XtLastEventProcessed -returns the most recent event passed to -.PN XtDispatchEvent -for a specified display. - -.NH 3 -Resource Management -.XS -\*(SN Resource Management -.XE -.LP -Resource converters are registered by the \*(xI for window gravity -and for three new resource types associated with session participation: -RestartStyle, CommandArgArray and DirectoryString. -.LP -The file search path syntax has been extended to make it easier to -include the default search path, which controls resource -database construction, by using the new substitution string, %D. - -.NH 3 -Translation Management -.XS -\*(SN Translation Management -.XE -.LP -The default key translator now recognizes the NumLock modifier. -If NumLock is on and the second keysym is a keypad keysym -(a standard keysym named with a ``KP'' prefix or a -vendor-specific keysym in the hexadecimal range 0x11000000 to 0x1100FFFF), -then the default key translator will -use the first keysym if Shift and/or ShiftLock is on and will -use the second keysym if neither is on. Otherwise, it will -ignore NumLock and apply the normal protocol semantics. - -.NH 3 -Selections -.XS -\*(SN Selections -.XE -.LP -The targets of selection requests may be parameterized, as described -by the revised \fI\*(xC\fP. -When such requests are made, -.PN XtSetSelectionParameters -is used by the requestor to specify the target parameters and -.PN XtGetSelectionParameters -is used by the selection owner to retrieve the parameters. -When a parameterized target is specified in the context of a bundled -request for multiple targets, -.PN XtCreateSelectionRequest , -.PN XtCancelSelectionRequest , -and -.PN XtSendSelectionRequest -are used to envelop the assembly of the request. -When the parameters themselves are the names of properties, -the \*(xI provides support for the economical use of property atom names; -see -.PN XtReservePropertyAtom -and -.PN XtReleasePropertyAtom . - -.NH 3 -External Agent Hooks -.XS -\*(SN External Agent Hooks -.XE -.LP -External agent hooks were added for the benefit of applications -that instrument other applications for purposes of accessibility, -testing, and customization. The external agent and the application -communicate by a shared protocol which is transparent to the application. -The hook callbacks permit the external agent to register interest -in groups or classes of toolkit activity and to be notified of the -type and details of the activity as it occurs. The new interfaces -related to this effort are -.PN XtHooksOfDisplay , -which returns the hook registration widget, and -.PN XtGetDisplays , -which returns a list of the X displays associated with an application context. -.bp |
