XCB STRING and WM_NAME not defined

Question

Where are STRING and WM_NAME defined?

My xcb_atom.h file only contains 3 function declarations, when I was expecting it to look like this: http://www.opensource.apple.com/source/X11libs/X11libs-40/xcb-util/xcb-util-0.3.3/atom/xcb_atom.h

I also have a xcb_ewmh.h file that contains similar atoms but I cannot find any documentation on it.

How do I fix this?

Answer 1

I grepped my /usr/include/xcb directory:

$ grep -r WM_NAME
xproto.h:    XCB_ATOM_WM_NAME

So, they're defined in xproto.h, which is included by the following:

$ grep -l -r xproto.h
xvmc.h
shape.h
shm.h
xselinux.h
render.h
glx.h
xcb.h
screensaver.h
xtest.h
xkb.h
sync.h
xinerama.h
res.h
composite.h
damage.h
xprint.h
xv.h
xfixes.h
xinput.h
randr.h
dri2.h

Answer 2

As noted in the other answer, the symbols are in xproto.h which is dragged in by xcb.h, but are not named as in the XCB tutorial. You need to use XCB_ATOM_WM_NAME and XCB_ATOM_WM_STRING.

This was helpful, but it's actuall XCB_ATOM_STRING not XCB_ATOM_WM_STRING. – Gallivant
