The + author allowed me to take some parts of his text, mainly the text which + deals with the X Windows generality. + </p> + <p> + This tutorial is intended for people who want to start to program + with the <a href="http://xcb.freedesktop.org">XCB</a> + library. keep in mind that XCB, like the + <a href="http://tronche.com/gui/x/xlib/introduction">Xlib</a> + library, isn't what post programmers wanting to write X + applications are looking for. They should use a much higher + level GUI toolkit like Motif, + <a href="http://www.lesstif.org">LessTiff</a>, + <a href="http://www.gtk.org">GTK</a>, + <a href="http://www.trolltech.com">QT</a>, + <a href="http://www.enlightenment.org">EWL</a>, + <a href="http://www.enlightenment.org">ETK</a>, or use + <a href="http://cairographics.org">Cairo</a>. + However, + we need to start somewhere. More than this, knowing how things + work down below is never a bad idea. + </p> + <p> + After reading this tutorial, one should be able to write very + simple graphical programs, but not programs with decent user + interfaces. For such programs, one of the previously mentioned + libraries should be used. + </p> + <p> + But what is XCB? Xlib has been + the standard C binding for the <a href="http://www.x.org">X + Window System</a> protocol for many years now. It is an + excellent piece of work, but there are applications for which it + is not ideal, for example: + </p> + <ul> + <li><b>Small platforms</b>: Xlib is a large piece of code, and + it's difficult to make it smaller + <li><b>Latency hiding</b>: Xlib requests requiring a reply are + effectively synchronous: they block until the reply appears, + whether the result is needed immediately or not. + <li><b>Direct access to the protocol</b>: Xlib does quite a + bit of caching, layering, and similar optimizations. While this + is normally a feature, it makes it difficult to simply emit + specified X protocol requests and process specific + responses. + <li><b>Threaded applications</b>: While Xlib does attempt to + support multithreading, the API makes this difficult and + error-prone. + <li><b>New extensions</b>: The Xlib infrastructure provides + limited support for the new creation of X extension client side + code. + </ul> + <p> + For these reasons, among others, XCB, an X C binding, has been + designed to solve the above problems and thus provide a base for + </p> + <ul> + <li>Toolkit implementation. + <li>Direct protocol-level programming. + <li>Lightweight emulation of commonly used portions of the + Xlib API. + </ul> + <br> + <li class="title"><a name="Xmodel">The client and server model of the X window system</a> + <p> + The X Window System was developed with one major goal: + flexibility. The idea was that the way things look is one thing, + but the way things work is another matter. Thus, the lower + levels provide the tools required to draw windows, handle user + input, allow drawing graphics using colors (or black and white + screens), etc. To this point, a decision was made to separate + the system into two parts. A client that decides what to do, and + a server that actually draws on the screen and reads user input + in order to send it to the client for processing. + </p> + <p> + This model is the complete opposite of what is used to when + dealing with clients and servers. In our case, the user sits + near the machine controlled by the server, while the client + might be running on a remote machine. The server controls the + screens, mouse and keyboard. A client may connect to the server, + request that it draws a window (or several windows), and ask the + server to send it any input the user sends to these + windows. Thus, several clients may connect to a single X server + (one might be running mail software, one running a WWW + browser, etc). When input is sent by the user to some window, + the server sends a message to the client controlling this window + for processing. The client decides what to do with this input, + and sends the server requests for drawing in the window. + </p> + <p> + The whole session is carried out using the X message + protocol. This protocol was originally carried over the TCP/IP + protocol suite, allowing the client to run on any machine + connected to the same network that the server is. Later on, the + X servers were extended to allow clients running on the local + machine with more optimized access to the server (note that an X + protocol message may be several hundreds of KB in size), such as + using shared memory, or using Unix domain sockets (a method for + creating a logical channel on a Unix system between two processes). + </p> + <li class="title"><a name="asynch">GUI programming: the asynchronous model</a> + <p> + Unlike conventional computer programs, that carry some serial + nature, a GUI program usually uses an asynchronous programming + model, also known as "event-driven programming". This means that + that program mostly sits idle, waiting for events sent by the X + server, and then acts upon these events. An event may say "The + user pressed the 1st button mouse in spot (x,y)", or "The window + you control needs to be redrawn". In order for the program to be + responsive to the user input, as well as to refresh requests, it + needs to handle each event in a rather short period of time + (e.g. less that 200 milliseconds, as a rule of thumb). + </p> + <p> + This also implies that the program may not perform operations + that might take a long time while handling an event (such as + opening a network connection to some remote server, or + connecting to a database server, or even performing a long file + copy operation). Instead, it needs to perform all these + operations in an asynchronous manner. This may be done by using + various asynchronous models to perform the longish operations, + or by performing them in a different process or thread. + </p> + <p> + So the way a GUI program looks is something like that: + </p> + <ol> + <li>Perform initialization routines. + <li>Connect to the X server. + <li>Perform X-related initialization. + <li>While not finished: + <ol> + <li>Receive the next event from the X server. + <li>Handle the event, possibly sending various drawing + requests to the X server. + <li>If the event was a quit message, exit the loop. + </ol> + <li>Close down the connection to the X server. + <li>Perform cleanup operations. + </ol> + <br> + <li class="title"><a name="notions">Basic XCB notions</a> + <p> + XCB has been created to eliminate the need for + programs to actually implement the X protocol layer. This + library gives a program a very low-level access to any X + server. Since the protocol is standardized, a client using any + implementation of XCB may talk with any X server (the same + occurs for Xlib, of course). We now give a brief description of + the basic XCB notions. They will be detailed later. + </p> + <ol> + <li class="subtitle"><a name="conn">The X Connection</a> + <p> + The major notion of using XCB is the X Connection. This is a + structure representing the connection we have open with a + given X server. It hides a queue of messages coming from the + server, and a queue of pending requests that our client + intends to send to the server. In XCB, this structure is named + 'xcb_connection_t'. It is analogous to the Xlib Display. + When we open a connection to an X server, the + library returns a pointer to such a structure. Later, we + supply this pointer to any XCB function that should send + messages to the X server or receive messages from this server. + </p> + <li class="subtitle"><a name="requestsreplies">Requests and + replies: the Xlib killers</a> + <p> + To ask for information from the X server, we have to make a request + and ask for a reply. With Xlib, these two tasks are + automatically done: Xlib locks the system, sends a request, + waits for a reply from the X server and unlocks. This is + annoying, especially if one makes a lot of requests to the X + server. Indeed, Xlib has to wait for the end of a reply + before asking for the next request (because of the locks that + Xlib sends). For example, here is a time-line of N=4 + requests/replies with Xlib, with a round-trip latency + <b>T_round_trip</b> that is 5 times long as the time required + to write or read a request/reply (<b>T_write/T_read</b>): + </p> + <pre class="text"> + W-----RW-----RW-----RW-----R +</pre> + <ul> + <li>W: Writing request + <li>-: Stalled, waiting for data + <li>R: Reading reply + </ul> + <p> + The total time is N * (T_write + T_round_trip + T_read). + </p> + <p> + With XCB, we can suppress most of the round-trips as the + requests and the replies are not locked. We usually send a + request, then XCB returns to us a <b>cookie</b>, which is an + identifier. Then, later, we ask for a reply using this + <b>cookie</b> and XCB returns a + pointer to that reply. Hence, with XCB, we can send a lot of + requests, and later in the program, ask for all the replies + when we need them. Here is the time-line for 4 + requests/replies when we use this property of XCB: + </p> + <pre class="text"> + WWWW--RRRR +</pre> + <p> + The total time is N * T_write + max (0, T_round_trip - (N-1) * + T_write) + N * T_read. Which can be considerably faster than + all those Xlib round-trips. + </p> + <p> + Here is a program that computes the time to create 500 atoms + with Xlib and XCB. It shows the Xlib way, the bad XCB way + (which is similar to Xlib) and the good XCB way.

In order to avoid the need to supply + hundreds of parameters to each drawing function, a graphical + context structure is used. We set the various drawing options + in this structure, and then we pass a pointer to this + structure to any drawing routines. This is rather handy, as we + often need to perform several drawing requests with the same + options. Thus, we would initialize a graphical context, set + the desired options, and pass this structure to all drawing + functions. + </p> + <p> + Note that graphic contexts have no client-side structure in + XCB, they're just XIDs.
