DEPRECATED Haskell bindings for the Wayland library
I was playing around with binding [wlroots](https://github.com/SirCmpwn/wlroots) (the compositor library spawned out of sway) and needed some wayland values. The specific one I found was the `struct wl_display *` for...
To actually build a compositor, one needs to interface with opengl/kms/drm/... (pick one). Currently, there are kms bindings for haskell, but really we should be using libweston (which exposes some...
I have planned for a while to fix a memory leakage in the current implementation. Specifically, the callback mechanism (from the C wayland lib into haskell code) works by storing...
Currently, the enums are dealt with in calls and callbacks as mere (u)integers. This is of course extremely type-unsafe. There is a discussion to add much more type information to...
Currently, when the wayland C library cannot allocate memory for e.g. new objects, it returns 0 on the C side, which ends up generating a crash when processed by Haskell....
There are some thread safety issues going on in wayland. IIRC, server-side there is no thread safety at all, and client-side there is thread safety under some conditions. This should...
