Hi All, I am studying Xlib internal working. Came across some problems. Hope you can help me in clarifying them. I am using gdb for debugging.
1) While debugging I am seeing that dpy structure pointer is being passed by some calls. dpy intern contains 'buffer', 'bufptr' etc. While digging through the location pointed by 'buffer' and 'bufptr' the data is shown as "\003\005" or "\002" etc. What is the meaning of these values ? I was expecting buffer or bufptr to be some real data buffers being passed to Xserver but found something else. Any hints what are these ? 2) I am trying to capture the full process on how any window is being drawn. through gdb i am attaching kwin (KDE's Window Manager). I am not getting which call at Xlib is drawing window. I thought probably this is being done by XSetWindowBorderPixmap, XSetWindowBorder, XSetWindowBorderWidth. But none of the above said function is being called up. I am willing to see how a window is being drawn 'line by line' etc. and how any theme takes it's own course. Any hints ? I know that i am lagging some details in this and i need to dig little more but any pointers in right direction should do fine. May be some of the things being done at XServer level. but i have no concrete idea as of now. Looking forward to hear from you.
