Right now, the default behavior is to pick the numerically lowest screen
ID that overlaps the window in any way - but this means that mpv will
decide to pick an ICC profile in a pretty arbitrary way even if the
window only overlaps another screen by a single pixel.
The new behavior is to query it based on the center of the window
instead.
...because everything is terrible.
strerror() is not documented as having to be thread-safe by POSIX and
C11. (Which is pretty much bullshit, because both mandate threads and
some form of thread-local storage - so there's no excuse why
implementation couldn't implement this in a thread-safe way. Especially
with C11 this is ridiculous, because there is no way to use threads and
convert error numbers to strings at the same time!)
Since we heavily use threads now, we should avoid unsafe functions like
strerror().
strerror_r() is in POSIX, but GNU/glibc deliberately fucks it up and
gives the function different semantics than the POSIX one. It's a bit of
work to convince this piece of shit to expose the POSIX standard
function, and not the messed up GNU one.
strerror_l() is also in POSIX, but only since the 2008 standard, and
thus is not widespread.
The solution is using avlibc (libavutil, by its official name), which
handles the unportable details for us, mostly. We avoid some pain.
bstr.c doesn't really deserve its own directory, and compat had just
a few files, most of which may as well be in osdep. There isn't really
any justification for these extra directories, so get rid of them.
The compat/libav.h was empty - just delete it. We changed our approach
to API compatibility, and will likely not need it anymore.
Make it more suitable for chaining. This means a function formatting a
value to a string using a static buffer can work exactly like
mp_snprintf_append itself.
Also rename it to mp_snprintf_cat, because that's shorter.
This code is shared between input.conf parser and option parser. Until
now, the performance didn't really matter. But I want to use this code
for JSON parsing too, and since JSON will have to be parsed a lot, it
should probably try to avoid realloc'ing too much.
This commit moves parsing of C-style escaped strings into a common
function, and allows using it in a way realloc can be completely
avoided, if the already allocated buffer is large enough.
