modernx11

a hyper-optimized, macro-purged c++26 named module gateway for raw linux x11 and webkit systems. replaces the legacy preprocessor text-pasting model with bleeding-edge compiled module interfaces.

the problem

the second you #include <x11/xlib.h>, it pollutes your global namespace with toxic 1980s macros like #define none 0l, #define status int, and #define success 0. this violently smashes modern c++ abstractions like std::optional, enum class, and custom error handlers, forcing engineers into writing ugly #undef boilerplate. it is a crime against hardware and logic.

the solution

modernx11 puts up a linguistic magic wall using c++26 modules. it performs a complete macroexorcism. it ingests legacy headers inside a global module fragment, captures raw values, aggressively executes #undef on the toxic macros, and exports type-safe, namespaced c++ constants and symbols.

import std;
import modernx11; // 100% macro-free. zero leaks.

enum class appstatus { none, success, pending }; // fully legal local tokens!

int main() {
    x11::displayhandle display = x11::open_display(nullptr);
    int screen = sysui::default_screen(display);
    // bare-metal x11 window handling with absolute namespace sanctity...
}

features

• macroexorcism: traps none, status, and success at the module boundary and destroys them.
• uncapped performance: pure x11 window mapping with absolutely zero forced vsync compositing latency or input lag. you get the raw speed of the silicon.
• ultra-fast sub-millisecond compiles: compiles via pure import std; using gcc's native module caching (-fmodules-ts). no text copy-pasting.
• no cmake bloat: built via a raw, lean, deterministic shell script because cmake is an over-engineered tragedy.

building

ensure you have up-to-date system development packages and g++:

chmod +x build.sh
./build.sh
