2012-10-16Add xkb_keysym_from_name() flags argument for case-insensitive searchDavid Herrmann1-1/+1
This adds a flags argument to xkb_keysym_from_name() so we can perform a case-insensitive search. This should really be supported as many keysyms have really weird capitalization-rules. However, as this may produce conflicts, users must be warned to only use this for fallback paths or error-recovery. This is also the reason why the internal XKB parsers still use the case-sensitive search. This also adds some test-cases so the expected results are really produced. The binary-size does _not_ change with this patch. However, case-sensitive search may be slightly slower with this patch. But this is barely measurable. [ran: use bool instead of int for icase, add a recommendation to the doc, and test a couple "thorny" cases.] Signed-off-by: David Herrmann <dh.herrmann@googlemail.com>
2012-10-16makekeys: replace helper with python script and binary searchRan Benita1-0/+23
This removes the complicated and undocumented hash-table creation-helper and replaces it with an autogenerated sorted array. The search uses simple bsearch() now. We also tried using gperf but it turned out to generate way to big hashtables and when reducing the size it isn't really faster than bsearch() anymore. There are no users complaining about the speed of keysym lookups and we have no benchmarks that tell that we are horribly slow. Hence, we can safely use the simpler approach and drop all that old code. Signed-off-by: Ran Benita <ran234@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David Herrmann <dh.herrmann@googlemail.com>
