Demi Marie Obenour 3872a9362e tests: Test that an overlong message is rejected 
If one runs the test case without the fix for
d074d52902 ("connection: Dynamically resize connection buffers"), the
server spins and never processes the message.  The test eventually times
out.  With the fix, a protocol error is delivered to the client and the
test finishes immediately.  The test covers both the default 4096-byte
buffer size and the case where the buffer size is large enough for the
message, but the message itself exceeds the 4096-byte limit.  Both are
rejected.

The test relies on the definition of struct wl_proxy, so this definition
is moved to a client-specific private header.  The definition itself is
not changed in any way.

Wayland

Wayland is a project to define a protocol for a compositor to talk to its clients as well as a library implementation of the protocol. The compositor can be a standalone display server running on Linux kernel modesetting and evdev input devices, an X application, or a wayland client itself. The clients can be traditional applications, X servers (rootless or fullscreen) or other display servers.

The wayland protocol is essentially only about input handling and buffer management. The compositor receives input events and forwards them to the relevant client. The clients creates buffers and renders into them and notifies the compositor when it needs to redraw. The protocol also handles drag and drop, selections, window management and other interactions that must go through the compositor. However, the protocol does not handle rendering, which is one of the features that makes wayland so simple. All clients are expected to handle rendering themselves, typically through cairo or OpenGL.

Building the wayland libraries is fairly simple, aside from libffi, they don't have many dependencies:

$ git clone https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland
$ cd wayland
$ meson build/ --prefix=PREFIX
$ ninja -C build/ install

where PREFIX is where you want to install the libraries.

See https://wayland.freedesktop.org for documentation.
