Alex Richardson cb8938e3d3 record: Support architectures with sizeof(void*) > sizeof(long)
I was seeing SIGBUS errors when running TigerVNC inside the record code
because the offsets into the memory buffer were not sufficiently aligned
to use the RecordSetRec (alignof(void*)). The current code ensures that
all offsets are aligned to sizeof(unsigned long), but that may not be
sufficient to load/store a pointer. Architectures where this is not true
include Arm Morello which has 16-byte pointers and 8-byte longs.

X Server

The X server accepts requests from client applications to create windows, which are (normally rectangular) "virtual screens" that the client program can draw into.

Windows are then composed on the actual screen by the X server (or by a separate composite manager) as directed by the window manager, which usually communicates with the user via graphical controls such as buttons and draggable titlebars and borders.

For a comprehensive overview of X Server and X Window System, consult the following article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_server

All questions regarding this software should be directed at the Xorg mailing list:
