xK/xC-gen-proto.awk

Start X11 and web frontends for xC
For this, we needed a wire protocol.  After surveying available options,
it was decided to implement an XDR-like protocol code generator
in portable AWK.  It now has two backends, per each of:

 - xF, the X11 frontend, is in C, and is meant to be the primary
   user interface in the future.

 - xP, the web frontend, relies on a protocol proxy written in Go,
   and is meant for use on-the-go (no pun intended).

They are very much work-in-progress proofs of concept right now,
and the relay protocol is certain to change.

# You may read RFC 4506 for context, however it is only a source of inspiration.
# Grammar is easy to deduce from the parser.
#
# Native types: bool, u{8,16,32,64}, i{8,16,32,64}, string
#
# Don't define any new types, unless you hate yourself, then it's okay to do so.
# Both backends are a pain in the arse, for different reasons.
#
# All numbers are encoded in big-endian byte order.
# Booleans are one byte each.
# Strings must be valid UTF-8, use u8<> to lift that restriction.
# String and array lengths are encoded as u32.
# Enumeration values automatically start at 1, and are encoded as i32.
# Any struct or union field may be a variable-length array.
#
# Message framing is done externally, but also happens to prefix u32 lengths.
#
# Usage: env LC_ALL=C awk -v prefix=Relay \
# -f xC-gen-proto.awk < xC-proto \
# -f xC-gen-proto-{c,go}.awk > xC-proto.{c,go} | {clang-format,gofmt}
