| 2021-10-29 07:07:05 | <Solid> | we catch the exception thrown by getWindowAttributes and then... print it to stdout in the same way it would be if we didn't catch it |
| 2021-10-29 07:07:27 | <Solid> | s/stdout/stderr/ |
| 2021-10-29 07:07:45 | <Solid> | that seems rather unintuitive (and, indeed, I don't see why we would write to stderr at all, since we have something useful to do if we catch it) |

| 2021-10-29 07:16:04 | <Solid> | hi, xmonad user :) |
| 2021-10-29 07:16:52 | <liskin> | Solid: what useful thing would you do instead of printing? |
| 2021-10-29 07:17:18 | <Solid> | liskin: there is a default value we give back already; why print it at all? |
| 2021-10-29 07:17:34 | <liskin> | I see |
| 2021-10-29 07:18:50 | <liskin> | Well my local fork carries https://github.com/liskin/xmonad/commit/d084b381c414427abb77a819025a6e7ddfe0b3b7 for months :-) |
| 2021-10-29 07:19:14 | <liskin> | But I never felt confident to take that upstream |
| 2021-10-29 07:19:28 | <Solid> | hah |

| 2021-10-29 10:18:19 | <geekosaur> | Solid, one reason might be left over debugging; some time back getWindowAttributes was changed to throw an exception and we originally missed updating some calls, leading to occasional crashes |
| 2021-10-29 10:18:42 | <geekosaur> | plus, well, why we made that change in the first place |

| 2021-10-29 13:23:35 | <Solid> | ah, that was probably this one https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad-contrib/issues/146 |
| 2021-10-29 13:36:34 | <geekosaur> | that actually came afterward, I think. |
| 2021-10-29 13:37:07 | <geekosaur> | the background there is that the X11 wrappers often didn't check for NULL returns and coredumped if they got them |
| 2021-10-29 13:37:20 | <geekosaur> | we may still have a few of those around |
| 2021-10-29 13:37:42 | <geekosaur> | so getWindowAttributes was changed to check for nullPtr and throw a proper exception |
| 2021-10-29 13:40:26 | <geekosaur> | which changed rare core dumps (usually we got garbage instead of what we wanted) into not so rare exceptions, thus the changes to catch getWindowAttributes exceptions afterward |
| 2021-10-29 13:52:38 | <Solid> | most of these calls look pretty easy to replace |
| 2021-10-29 13:53:14 | <Solid> | except the ones that happen in layouts; no good "default case" in case of an exception there :/ |
| 2021-10-29 13:54:33 | <geekosaur> | yeh, you pretty much have to let those happen and be caught and the layout stuff itself will thereby default to Full aka instance LayoutClass Full where {} |

| 2021-10-29 17:25:11 | <Solid> | yeah I'd give it another one or two months |
| 2021-10-29 17:25:26 | <Solid> | I feel like a lot of tooling still hasn't caught up to 9.0 even |
| 2021-10-29 17:27:39 | <geekosaur> | well, a lot of folks have been giving 9.0 a miss because it's so buggy. 9.2.1 is supposed to be the bugfix release |

| 2021-10-29 22:46:17 | <liskin> | oh well, all deps build just fine with 9.2.1, but xmonad doesn't: https://github.com/liskin/xmonad/runs/4051913163?check_suite_focus=true |
| 2021-10-29 22:46:57 | <liskin> | a bunch of Pattern match(es) are non-exhaustive because we do let (x:xs) = something which ghc doesn't know isn't [] |

| 2021-10-29 22:48:25 | <liskin> | is there not? |
| 2021-10-29 22:48:52 | <L29Ah> | https://www.haskell.org/ghc/download.html yes |
