With the advent of the Present extension, some events (such as
PresentCompleteNotify) now use native 64-bit types on the wire.
For XGE events, we insert an extra "uint32_t full_sequence" field
immediately after the first 32 bytes of data. Normally, this causes
the subsequent fields to be shifted over by 4 bytes, and the structure
to grow in size by 4 bytes. Everything works fine.
However, if event contains 64-bit extended fields, this may result in
the compiler adding an extra 4 bytes of padding so that those fields
remain aligned on 64-bit boundaries. This causes the structure to grow
by 8 bytes, not 4. Unfortunately, XCB doesn't realize this, and
always believes that the length only increased by 4. read_packet()
then fails to malloc enough memory to hold the event, and the event
processing code uses the wrong offsets.
To fix this, mark any event structures containing 64-bit extended
fields with __attribute__((__packed__)).
v2: Use any(...) instead of True in (...), as suggested by
Daniel Martin.
v3 (Alan Coopersmith): Fix build with Solaris Studio 12.3 by moving the
attribute to after the structure definition.

About libxcb
============
libxcb provides an interface to the X Window System protocol, which
replaces the current Xlib interface. It has several advantages over
Xlib, including:
- size: small, simple library, and lower memory footprint
- latency hiding: batch several requests and wait for the replies later
- direct protocol access: interface and protocol correspond exactly
- proven thread support: transparently access XCB from multiple threads
- easy extension implementation: interfaces auto-generated from XML-XCB
Xlib can also use XCB as a transport layer, allowing software to make
requests and receive responses with both, which eases porting to XCB.
However, client programs, libraries, and toolkits will gain the most
benefit from a native XCB port.
