The function _c_helper_absolute_name was named in a misleading way. It computes a C-expression for accessing a field of an xcb-type. Therefore the name _c_helper_fieldaccess_expr is more appropriate. Note: Patch 6 of this series has been removed during the review process.

About libxcb
============
libxcb provides an interface to the X Window System protocol, which
replaces the current Xlib interface. It has several advantages over
Xlib, including:
- size: small, simple library, and lower memory footprint
- latency hiding: batch several requests and wait for the replies later
- direct protocol access: interface and protocol correspond exactly
- proven thread support: transparently access XCB from multiple threads
- easy extension implementation: interfaces auto-generated from XML-XCB
Xlib can also use XCB as a transport layer, allowing software to make
requests and receive responses with both, which eases porting to XCB.
However, client programs, libraries, and toolkits will gain the most
benefit from a native XCB port.
