...or if they are already supported, please point me to correct way of using them. All my tries to get typed unicode char if non-latin kb layout is selected failed.
Without a , the build fails with error: Note that since go 1.16, the command will build packages in module-aware mode by default, see: https://go.dev/blog/go116-module-changes#modules-on-by-default
I prepared some small changes which prevent some edge cases of XGB usage. I can reproduce the panic errors on Xvfb connections when Xvfb is killed externally. These changes will keep Go app alive just with a closed X server connection. There are still some questions on running go routines in BG (see new TODO comments). I'm free to discuss changes and update PR.
Recent fixes
can you provide some documentation on using the GetImage function. I want to be able to capture the state of the screen and get a rgba value.
Rewrite spawning of go routines upon new connection, so we can signal them and wait for them on connection close. This fixes e.g. a panic in window example after window close: to
xgb.Conn sync requests & response tests, with goroutine leaking tests. Contains some tests, that prove some errors refered in #44. Note: the last test "unexpected conn close" panics and ends tests without showing previous results. You have to comment it out to see results of previous tests. Contains testing tools: leakage monitor + tests universal dummy net.Conn server + tests dummy X server replier for dumm net.Conn + tests What needs to be done: xgb.Conn async requests/responses more elaborate leakage monitor tests (probably not needed now)
