# Guidelines: # • A message code must always have the same meaning forever. # • Codes may be retired or introduced in new releases. In order to avoid # clashes, retired codes must not be deleted. # • Codes should not themselves reflect classification, e.g. a range for parse # errors and a range for each keymap component. # • Codes should not be assigned sequentially because it is misleading. # • Codes must be in the range 1..999. This range may be extended once every # code has be assigned. # # See the following guidelines for further details on good practices: # https://github.com/haskellfoundation/error-message-index/blob/main/tool-developers.md#code-assignment-recommendations # NOTE: Field “added: ALWAYS” means that the precise version is unknown and # anterior to the introduction of the message registry. It will be replaced by # the default version 1.0.0 in the generated documentation. While this is deemed # good enough to avoid spelunking commit history, a more precise version would # be welcome. # TODO: fix missing detailed description, examples, resolution - id: "deprecated-section" code: 21 added: 1.14.0 type: warning description: "XKB section is deprecated" - id: "malformed-number-literal" code: 34 added: ALWAYS type: error description: "Warn on malformed number literals" details: | xkbcommon can parse the following number literal formats: - *decimal integer:* 1, 123, etc. - *decimal floating-point number:* 1.23, etc. - *hexadecimal integer:* prefixed with “0x”: 0x123, 0xff, 0xAB, etc. - id: "conflicting-key-type-preserve-entries" code: 43 added: ALWAYS type: warning description: "Conflicting “preserve” entries in a key type" - id: "integer-overflow" code: 52 added: 1.10.0 type: error description: "The result of the operation is not mathematically correct" details: | The result of the operation is not representable in the corresponding datatype and overflowed. - id: "unsupported-modifier-mask" code: 60 type: error visibility: public added: internal: ALWAYS public: 1.14.0 description: "Unsupported modifier mask" details: | The modifier mask does not represent valid modifiers. - id: "expected-array-entry" code: 77 added: ALWAYS type: error description: "Expected an array entry, but the index is missing" - id: "invalid-numeric-keysym" code: 82 added: ALWAYS type: error description: "Invalid numeric keysym" details: | Keysyms are 32-bit integers with the 3 most significant bits always set to zero.
