There is no technical reason why xcb_get_setup() and xcb_get_file_descriptor() shouldn't work on non-static error connections. They cannot be used for many useful things, but at least they work. This works around bugs in lots of programs out there which assume that xcb_get_setup() does not return NULL and which just happily dereference the results. Since xcb_connect() never returns NULL, it's a bit weird that xcb_get_setup() can do so. xcb_get_file_descriptor() is just modified since this can be done here equally easily and because the fd isn't closed until the final xcb_disconnect() on the error connection. Non-static error connections are connections which entered an error state after xcb_connect() succeeded. If something goes wrong in establishing a connection, xcb_connect() will return a static error connection which doesn't have the fields used here. Signed-off-by: Uli Schlachter <psychon@znc.in> |

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.
