This makes escaping the arguments obsolete.
Also avoid dynamic memory allocation for the output id. It only supported ids up
to 99. Now we support up to 999, and take 4 bytes off the stack instead.
A criteria is a string in the form of `[class="regex.*" title="str"]`.
It is stored in a struct with a list of *tokens* which is a
attribute/value pair (stored as a `crit_token` struct). Most tokens will
also have a precompiled regex stored that will be used during criteria
matching.
for_window command: When a new view is created its metadata is tested
against all stored criteria, and if a match is found the associated
command list is executed.
Unfortunately some metadata is not available in sway at the moment
(specifically `instance`, `window_role` and `urgent`). Any criteria
string that tries to match an unsupported attribute will fail.
(Note that while the criteria code can be used to parse any criteria
string it is currently only used by the `for_window` command.)
This also fixes a bug where issuing a new "workspace a output b" command
for an already assigned workspace would not work (the old config would
be found first and used instead).
When yes, the old behaviour of adding half the inner gap around each
view is used.
When no, don't add any gap when an edge of the view aligns with the
workspace. The result is inner gap only between views, not against the
workspace edge.
The algorithm is not perfect because it means the extra space is
distributed amongst edge-aligned views only, but it's simple, looks good
and it works.
In i3 the ipc reply will contain a human readable error message, and
this patch replicates that behaviour.
However, that error message is also useful for logging, which this
patch takes advantage of.
E.g. instead of logging errors directly in commands.c/checkargs, it is
fed back to the caller which eventually ends up logging everything with
maximum context available (config.c/read_config).
So instead of logging e.g. "Error on line 'exit'" it will now log:
"Error on line 'exit': Can't execute from config."
