Wrappers around libxcb and libX11 that implement breadx traits.
breadx comes with many advantages over existing libraries, but
a crucial disadvantage is a lack of library support. libX11 has
a massive back catalog of libraries that breadx on its own does
not have access to.
whitebreadx provides a compromise. It provides two types, XcbDisplay
and XlibDisplay. Both of these objects are wrappers around native
xcb_connection_t and Display, respectively. However, they implement
breadx::Display, so that they can be used worry-free in breadx code.
In addition, raw pointers to the underlying transport mechanism can be
accessed, allowing usage with external code.
The minimum supported versions of libxcb and libX11 necessary for
this library are unknown. This library has been tested to work with
libxcb version 1.14 and libX11 version 2:1.7. However, the libX11
version must be after the paradigm shift where it began using libxcb
as an internal transport. There are no plans to support legacy libX11.
