Stupid X Toolkit - vishnu - 08-08-2021
Disclaimer: Rant mode; not really looking for help. So, in 30 some years of programming with Xt and Motif, I finally stumbled onto an opportunity to use XtAddCallbacks, which apparently no one else ever uses. And now I know why. Because to use it you have to pass in as a parameter an XtCallbackList. I have here in my lap Volume 4 of the X Toolkit Intrinsics Programming Manual, this is what it says about XtCallbackList:
Yes, you read that right, what it says about XtCallbackList is NOTHING. And of course the GNU compiler is so helpful (image attached). Rant mode off, kindly resume your normal activities...

Reminds me of trying to get information on a tool (I forget which) where the man page was literally just a stub saying, effectively, that the real documentation was on the developer's site (which, of course, 404ed.)

And now, x org itself says don't use Xt or Motif anymore. Okay, so just throw decades of programming experience away and start from scratch again with something else, nice.
