This moves the X11 polling implementation to a separate file where it
can be used by either the X11 or Wayland backend or both.
This code should be POSIX compatible where necessary but will use the
lower latency but non-standard polling functions ppoll or pollts where
those are available.
This commit is based on work by OlivierSohn and kovidgoyal.
Fixes#1281Closes#1285
This uses ppoll for waiting on file descriptors with a timeout, where
that function has been available a while. On NetBSD, which will be
getting ppoll in the next release, the equivalent pollts is used.

There is a seemingly unavoidable race condition when waiting for data on
the X11 display connection, as long as any other thread is also making
Xlib calls. The event data we are waiting for could be read by the
other thread as part of looking for the reply to its request, before our
poll has begun.
This commit replaces the X11 event sent by glfwPostEmptyEvent with
writing to an unnamed pipe. The race condition remains if other Xlib
calls are made on other threads, but glfwPostEmptyEvent should now be
race-free.
This commit is based on work by pcwalton, OlivierSohn, kovidgoyal and
joaodasilva.

The data available on the X11 connection may be a reply or an internal
event for an X11 extension. Previously the check for whether an event
was available for us was done outside waitForEvent. This prevented data
available on other file descriptors from breaking the outer wait loop.
This commit moves the check for whether an event is available into the
wait functions, where there is enough knowledge to limit the check to
the X11 connection.

On Linux, the inotify descriptor was included in the set used for
select, but could not break the outer loop, leading to busy waiting
until timeout or the correct X11 event arrived.
This commit adds a new function for waiting just on X11 events.

The conversion of window icon image data involves unsigned char color
values being promoted to int and then shifted to the left by 24. For
32-bit ints this is just far enough to trigger undefined behavior.
It worked by accident because of how current compilers translate this
piece of code.
This was caught by @slimsag while working on [Zig bindings for GLFW][1],
and diagnosed together with @Andoryuuta, as described [in an
article][2]. Zig has UBSan enabled by default, which caught this
undefined behavior.

Thanks to Maato, martinhath, dcousens, drfuchs and Validark for helping
to refine the solution.
This commit message was rewritten by @elmindreda to hopefully reflect
the conclusions of the pull request thread.

Closes#1986
This adds compile-time support for multiple platforms and runtime
detection of them. Window system related platform functions are now
called from shared code via the function pointer struct _GLFWplatform.
The timer, thread and module loading platform functions are still called
directly by name and the implementation chosen at link-time. These
functions are the same for any backend on a given OS, including the Null
backend.
The platforms are now enabled via CMake dependent options following the
GLFW_BUILD_<platform> pattern instead of a mix of automagic and ad-hoc
option names. There is no longer any option for the Null backend as it
is now always enabled.
Much of the struct stitching work in platform.h was based on an earlier
experimental branch for runtime platform selection by @ronchaine.
Every platform function related to windows, contexts, monitors, input,
event processing and Vulkan have been renamed so that multiple sets of
them can exist without colliding. Calls to these are now routed through
the _glfw.platform struct member. These changes makes up most of this
commit.
For Wayland and X11 the client library loading and display creation is
used to detect a running compositor/server. The XDG_SESSION_TYPE
environment variable is ignored for now, as X11 is still by far the more
complete implementation.

This adds the glfwInitAllocator function for specifying a custom memory
allocator to use instead of the C runtime library.
The allocator is a struct of type GLFWallocator with fields
corresponding to malloc, realloc and free, while the internal API
corresponds to calloc, realloc and free.
Heap allocation calls are filtered before reaching the user-provided
functions, so deallocation of NULL and allocations of zero bytes are not
passed on, reallocating NULL is transformed into an allocation and
reallocating to size zero is transformed into deallocation.
The clearing of a new block to zero is performed by the internal
calloc-like function.

The client clip region was left in place when mouse passthrough was
disabled, leading to missing mouse input if the window grew beyond it.
Related to #1568.
This adds the GLFW_MOUSE_PASSTHROUGH window hint and attribute for
controlling whether mouse input passes through the window to whatever
window is behind it.

It seems it has not been possible to compile GLFW on systems without the
UTF-8 extensions to Xlib since a0a5cc57df
was merged five months ago. The UTF-8 extension functions were
introduced with XFree86 4.0.2 in December 2000 and are likely widely
available at this point.
This removes the locale-dependent fallback paths and uses the UTF-8
extension functions where available.
Background: The IM will filter out key events, instead sending exact
duplicate events that are not filtered. It does not send these for
every event, however, so the duplicate events cannot be relied on for
key input. Instead we need to identify and discard them. Since they
are identical, they have the same timestamp as the originals.
The previous duplicate event detection would consume unrelated key
events if the keys were pressed simultaneously, as it only tracked
a single timestamp.
This fixes that issue for any combination of keys, at the expense of
a 1 KB array per GLFW window.
This fix is a stopgap until explicit IME support is done.

This adds support for EGL_EXT_platform_base and its associated X11 and
Wayland extensions, allowing us to explicitly tell EGL which window
system we are using.
This is based on work by @linkmauve in #1691.
Closes#1691.
The non-root parent window owned by the WM could be destroyed before we
process the ConfigureNotify event using the cached parent handle.
Bug was found by unmapping a decorated window.
This like all uses of the Xlib error handler is not thread safe and
there is nothing we can do about that short of moving to XCB.
Fixes#1633.
This adds support for the XIM instantiate and destroy callbacks, letting
GLFW detect both when the current input method disappears and when a new
one is started.
Tested with ibus.
When the WM does not support EWMH or there is no WM running, GLFW falls
back to XSetInputFocus, which will emit BadMatch if the window is not
viewable, which will terminate the program.
Bug spotted on IRC.
A window resize action that also resulting in the window being moved did
not emit any window positions events, as the position of real
ConfigureNotify events was ignored. The real events use parent
coordinates instead of root coordinates so this adds parent tracking and
conditional translation.
Fixes#1613.
