Makefile: remove the options target

2023-09-22T13:16:44Z

The Makefile used to suppress output (by using @), so this target made sense at the time. But the Makefile should be simple and make debugging with less abstractions or fancy printing. The Makefile was made verbose and doesn't hide the build output, so remove this target. Prompted by a question on the mailing list about the options target.

drw: minor improvement to the nomatches cache

2023-07-07T13:03:57Z

1. use `unsigned int` to store the codepoints, this avoids waste on common case where `long` is 64bits. and POSIX guarantees `int` to be at least 32bits so there's no risk of truncation. 2. since switching to `unsigned int` cuts down the memory requirement by half, double the cache size from 64 to 128. 3. instead of a linear search, use a simple hash-table for O(1) lookups.

fix BadMatch error when embedding on some windows

2023-04-06T18:28:56Z

When embedded into another window, dmenu will fail with the BadMatch error if that window have not the same colormap/depth/visual as the root window. That happens because dmenu inherits the colormap/depth/visual from its parent, but draws on a pixmap created based on the root window using a GC created for the root window (see drw.c). A BadMatch will occur when copying the content of the pixmap into dmenu's window. A solution is to create dmenu's window inside root and then reparent it if embeded. See this mail[1] on ports@openbsd.org mailing list for context. [1]: https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-ports&m=168072150814664&w=2

readstdin: reduce memory-usage by duplicating the line from getline()

2023-03-08T20:28:51Z

Improves upon commit 32db2b125190d366be472ccb7cad833248696144 The getline() implementation often uses a more greedy way of allocating memory. Using this buffer directly and forcing an allocation (by setting it to NULL) would waste a bit of extra space, depending on the implementation of course. Tested on musl libc and glibc. The current glibc version allocates a minimum of 120 bytes per line. For smaller lines musl libc seems less wasteful but still wastes a few bytes per line. On a dmenu_path listing on my system the memory usage was about 350kb (old) vs 30kb (new) on Void Linux glibc. Side-note that getline() also reads NUL bytes in lines, while strdup() would read until the NUL byte. Since dmenu reads text lines either is probably fine(tm). Also rename junk to linesiz.

readstdin: allocate amount of items

2022-10-31T10:52:30Z

Keep track of the amount of items (not a total buffer size), allocate an array of new items. For now change BUFSIZ bytes to 256 * sizeof(struct item)).

readstdin: add a comment

Maybe too obvious / redundant, but OK.

fix leak when getline fails

2022-10-31T10:40:35Z

according to the getline(3) documentation, the calling code needs to free the buffer even if getline fails. dmenu currently doesn't do that which results in a small leak in case of failure (e.g when piped /dev/null) $ ./dmenu < /dev/null ==8201==ERROR: LeakSanitizer: detected memory leaks Direct leak of 120 byte(s) in 1 object(s) allocated from: #0 0x7f6bf5785ef7 in malloc #1 0x7f6bf538ec84 in __getdelim #2 0x405d0c in readstdin dmenu.c:557 moving `line = NULL` inside the loop body wasn't strictly necessary, but IMO it makes it more apparent that `line` is getting cleared to NULL after each successful iteration.
