xcb-imdkit
|
|
==============================
|
|
xcb-imdkit is an implementation of xim protocol in xcb, comparing with the
|
|
implementation of IMDkit with Xlib, and xim inside Xlib, it has less memory
|
|
foot print, better performance, and safer on malformed client.
|
|
|
|
And not to say it's all asynchronous and it works with xcb.
|
|
|
|
Though, it doesn't have complete protocol support, since some part of the protocol
|
|
is never used. Those parts include:
|
|
- XIM_EXT_SET_EVENT_MASK (no im actually use this)
|
|
- XIM_EXT_FORWARD_EVENT (it's not any better than forward event)
|
|
- XIM_AUTH (IMDkit doesn't implement this, Xlib only has stub, so still no implementation.)
|
|
- XIM_STR_CONVERSION (Synchronous protocol, but not used anywhere)
|
|
- Locale check on client side, this is actually very evil for input method.
|
|
- Only X transport is supported.
|
|
|
|
