CDE has relied upon catgets() implementations following a relaxed
interpretation of the XPG internationalization standard that ignored
-1, the standard error value returned by catopen, as the catalog
argument. However, this same behavior causes segmentation faults with
the musl C library.
This patch:
- Centralizes (with the exception of ToolTalk) all calls to catopen(),
catgets(), and catclose() through MsgCat within the DtSvc library.
- Prevents calls to catgets() and catclose() that rely upon
undefined behavior.
- Eliminates a number of bespoke catgets() wrappers, including multiple
redundant caching implementations designed to work around a design
peculiarity in HP/UX.
- Eases building CDE without XPG internationalization support by providing
the appropriate macros.
This adds a basic library and support to dtsession and dtlogin to
support Xinerama/Twinview, where multimple monitors are used to make
up an X11 screen.
The main goal here is to draw dialogs and such centered on a monitor,
rather than spread out over multiple monitors.
Might need to add sorting - as on my test system, what I would
consider monitor 0, appears to actually be monitor 1. So a sort might
need to be added to sort the screens according to increasing x and y
offsets so it make sense to a user.
Also, this library is built statically and not documented. Maybe it
could be 'filled' out and refactored/redesigned in the futre if need
be and suppoerted.
It is enabled via a define, CDE_USEXINERAMA in site.def. It's a very
simple lib, so I do not expect any issues with the BSD's - it should
build and work fine, assuming your X server has the XINERAMA
extension, which I think pretty much all of them do at this point.
Added proper SharedDtSvcReqs in lnxLib.tmpl and CplusplusLibC in
linux.cf. This allows the libstdc++ dependancy to be properly
declared for libDtSvc so that it is not neccessary to hardcode 'CCLINK
= g++' in the Imakefiles of programs linking angainst libDtSvc.
