There was a problem hiding this comment.
Moved to x11-color.cc where previous matching function was.

Made CMake copy the file renamed in case gperf isn't available. This should prevent the compiler from finding stub before generated file. Signed-off-by: Tin Švagelj <tin.svagelj@live.com>

This commit sounds good (so, thank you!) but just what does it mean for the writer of conkies? How should we give colour names now? Is the new system backwards compatible? |

Replaces X11 color name lookup with something that's easier to maintain.
Performance
Possibly faster than previous implementation - previous used binary search (
O(log n)) on sorted color names, new uses a perfect hash (O(1)).Extensibility
The main selling point of this PR is that it replaces code that was hard to extend with something where people can easily add their own colors.
While writing this PR, I realized that the previous could could've just been simplified to achieve same extensibility, but I guess perf. hash scales better and doesn't require colors to be sorted in advance (though that can be automated).
Testing
Tested by preexisting tests.
