From fd8a2b0e5114afea50dad4589d7668fc054ea78e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tony Crisci Date: Mon, 22 Sep 2014 01:09:25 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] IPC: set ws reply "num" member to -1 when named When a named workspace (i.e., a workspace that has a name that does not begin with text that can be parsed as an integer greater than or equal to zero) is represented by the ipc as a workspace json object such as can be queried with `i3-msg -t get_workspaces`, set the num property to -1 instead of json null. This is for convenience of ipc consumers using type-constrained languages such as C which have difficulty cleanly expressing nullable integers. fixes #1368 --- docs/ipc | 2 +- src/ipc.c | 5 +---- testcases/t/139-ws-numbers.t | 2 +- 3 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/docs/ipc b/docs/ipc index f0829dc2..ce38a546 100644 --- a/docs/ipc +++ b/docs/ipc @@ -156,7 +156,7 @@ following properties: num (integer):: The logical number of the workspace.
