/*
 * xtruss: looks like strace, quacks like xmon.
 *
 * xtruss monitors the data sent and received between an X client
 * and the X server, and logs it in a format reminiscent of Linux's
 * strace(1). Its command-line syntax is also similar to strace: in
 * the simplest invocation, you just run the target X program
 * exactly as you normally would but prefix it with 'xtruss', e.g.
 * 'xtruss xterm -fn 9x15'. If your X server supports the X RECORD
 * extension, you can also attach xtruss to a client which is
 * already running, by specifying an X resource id (similarly to
 * xkill(1)) or by selecting a window interactively with the mouse.
 *
 * I wrote it because xmon irritated me by not being enough like
 * strace: a pain to set up (two confusingly cooperating processes,
 * no automatic handling of authorisation for the proxy display) and
 * unreadable in its output (half a screen per request or response,
 * and no way to see at a glance what request a response was a reply
 * to).
 *
 * This is a spinoff project from the PuTTY code base: the X proxy
 * code reuses the X forwarding framework from PuTTY, because that
 * provided for free all the code that invents new authorisation
 * data and checks and replaces it in the proxied connections.
 */

/*
 * Possible future work:
 *
 *  - Arrange to let the network abstraction keep the peer address
 *    of incoming connections, so that we can provide
 *    XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 on the proxy side at user request.
 *
 *  - Decode more extensions.
 *
 *  - Log connection and disconnection of clients?
 *
 *  - Perhaps a command-line option to request tracing of only the
 *    first incoming connection and just proxy the rest untraced?
 *
 *  - Work out what to do about extension tracking in -p mode.
 *     * The only thing I can think of at the moment is for our
 *       control connection to do a ListExtensions and then lots of
 *       QueryExtension before we even attach to the target client.
 *     * But are we guaranteed that extension opcode indices will be
 *       the same between all client connections? It'd certainly be
 *       the _obvious_ way to implement an X server, but I don't
 *       think anything in the protocol specifically requires it.
 *       Another thing a server might choose to do would be to
 *       allocate extension number-space sequentially from the base
 *       but independently for each client connection, and translate
 *       the event numbers in SendEvents between clients. The
 *       advantage of doing this would be that the server could
 *       support more extensions than fit into the number space, and
 *       each client could use any subset of them that _would_ fit.
 *
 *  - Command-line-configurable display format: be able to omit
 *    parameter names for expert users?
 *
 *  - Command-line configurable display format: alternative methods
 *    of handling separated requests and responses? I definitely
 *    like the one I've got now, but there's scope for others to be
 *    selectable.
 *     * Such as, for instance, "Request(params) = <unfinished
 *       #xxxx>" followed by " ... <#xxxx> = {response}", which has
 *       the virtue that it doesn't repeat enormous request lines in
 *       the output.
 *     * More radically than that, perhaps, never combine request
 *       and response lines at all - just print a sequence number on
 *       absolutely everything, and leave untangling it to the
 *       reader.
 *
 *  - Prettyprinting of giant data structure returns, by inserting
 *    newlines and appropriate indentation?
 *
 *  - Tracking of server state to usefully annotate the connection.
 *     * A more radical approach to tracking atoms would be to establish
 *       our own connection to the server and use it to _look up_
 *       any atom id we don't already know before we print the
 *       request/response in which it appears.
 *        + In order to be able to do those lookups synchronously
 *          within do_request and friends, this would require some
 *          tinkering with the event loop code, or alternatively
 *          handling our own X connection entirely outside the main
 *          event loop. The alternative is to turn do_request &c
 *          into coroutines of some sort, but I think all the
 *          queuing gets too hideous if we try that.
 *     * We could try tracking currently valid window and pixmap ids
 *       so that we can disambiguate the letter prefix on a
 *       DRAWABLE, and likewise track fonts and graphics contexts so
 *       we can disambiguate FONTABLE.
 *        + Bit fiddly, this one, due to synchronisation issues
 *          between c2s and s2c. A request which changes the current
 *          state should immediately affect annotation of subsequent
 *          requests, but its effect on annotation of responses
 *          would have to be deferred until the sequence numbers in
 *          the response stream caught up with that request. Ick.
 *        + Not to mention the fact that tracking active window ids
 *          is _hard_: child windows are destroyed with their
 *          parent, so you'd have to track window hierarchy too, and
 *          worse still windows can be unilaterally reparented by
 *          other clients so even that isn't reliable. Even Xlib
 *          doesn't try to track active resource ids on the client
 *          side, hence the XC-MISC extension to get back a chunk of
 *          its id space when trivial sequential allocation runs
 *          out.
 *        + So perhaps in fact this is just a silly and
 *          overambitious idea and I'd be wiser not to try.
 *
 *  - Other strace-like output options, such as prefixed timestamps
 *    (-t, -tt, -ttt), alignment (-a), and more filtering options
 *    under -e (e.g. filter on particular resource ids? Though that
 *    doesn't sound _obviously_ useful...).
 *
 *  - More xprop/xkill-like command line syntax for choosing a
 *    client to trace via X RECORD? -id 0xXXX as a synonym for -p
 *    XXX, for instance. Perhaps -name (for which we can reuse the
 *    existing bfs loop to look for a window with the given WM_NAME
 *    property). And should just 'xtruss' with no arguments work
 *    like just 'xprop'?
 *
 *  - Find some way of independently testing the correctness of the
 *    vast amount of this program that I translated straight out of
 *    the X protocol specs...
 *
 *  - Clean the source code up:
 *     + Separate the potentially cross-platform X protocol decoder
 *       from the Unix-specific front end implementation
 *     + Split up the giant switch-statement functions into smaller
 *       pieces: compilers already struggle a bit with them on high
 *       optimisation levels, and they'll only get bigger if more X
 *       extensions become supported
 *     + Think about how to manage the source modules cribbed from
 *       PuTTY: want to strike a good balance between keeping them
 *       PuTTYlike enough to be able to feed useful changes back,
 *       and keeping them small and xtruss-specific enough for the
 *       tarball not to look utterly stupid or include unnecessary
 *       gunk.
