Comment on Frame – Linux X server in Assemblyparent

Comments

Wasn't a lot of the protocol encoded in XML as part of libxcb? Could that be used to generate the tedious code for the X server?

Yes, you're right.

There are other tedious bits too, like all of the details around exactly how to propagate which events, but the protocol encoding is certainly one of the most tedious bits.
