Note ABI of XResQueryClientIds
XResQueryClientIds is now documented to return an array of 32-bit values, not an array of longs. The previous implementation allocated space for 32-bit values but read longs into that, overflowing the array. Applications using this were expecting 32-bit values. This "worked" on little endian 64-bit systems because only one value was typically provided and the low 32-bits got stuck in the right place, although the allocation was overrun at the end. That might cause trouble if the allocator is checking carefully. Signed-off-by: Keith Packard <keithp@keithp.com>
