## Details

### XKB-034 – Malformed number literal {#XKB-034}

<dl>
  <dt>Since</dt><dd>1.0.0</dd>
  <dt>Type</dt><dd>Error</dd>
  <dt>Summary</dt><dd>Warn on malformed number literals</dd>
</dl>

xkbcommon can parse the following number literal formats:

- *decimal integer:* 1, 123, etc.
- *decimal floating-point number:* 1.23, etc.
- *hexadecimal integer:* prefixed with “0x”: 0x123, 0xff, 0xAB, etc.


### XKB-043 – Conflicting key type preserve entries {#XKB-043}

<dl>
  <dt>Since</dt><dd>1.0.0</dd>

  <dt>Type</dt><dd>Error</dd>
  <dt>Summary</dt><dd>The result of the operation is not mathematically correct</dd>
</dl>

The result of the operation is not representable in the corresponding
datatype and overflowed.


### XKB-060 – Unsupported modifier mask {#XKB-060}

<dl>
  <dt>Since</dt><dd>1.0.0</dd>
  <dt>Type</dt><dd>Error</dd>
  <dt>Summary</dt><dd>Warn on unsupported modifier mask</dd>

### XKB-077 – Expected array entry {#XKB-077}

<dl>
  <dt>Since</dt><dd>1.0.0</dd>

### XKB-082 – Invalid numeric keysym {#XKB-082}

<dl>
  <dt>Since</dt><dd>1.0.0</dd>
  <dt>Type</dt><dd>Error</dd>
  <dt>Summary</dt><dd>Invalid numeric keysym</dd>
</dl>

Keysyms are 32-bit integers with the 3 most significant bits always set to
zero. Thus valid keysyms are in the range `0 .. 0x1fffffff` = @ref XKB_KEYSYM_MAX.

See: Appendix A [“KEYSYM Encoding”][encoding] of the X Window System Protocol.

  <dt>Since</dt><dd>1.0.0</dd>
  <dt>Type</dt><dd>Warning</dd>
  <dt>Summary</dt><dd>Warn on unrecognized keysyms</dd>
</dl>

xkbcommon replaces keysyms it does not recognize by the keysym `NoSymbol`.

You may find the list of supported keysyms in
`include/xkbcommon/xkbcommon-keysyms.h`.


#### Examples

<details>
  <summary>Unrecognized keysym “`coma`”</summary>

**Error message:**

```
xkbcommon: WARNING: [XKB-107] de:31:20: unrecognized keysym "coma"
```

xkbcommon does not recognize the keysym “`coma`”. It is most probably
a typo for “<code>com<em>m</em>a</code>”.
See: `XKB_KEY_comma` in `include/xkbcommon/xkbcommon-keysyms.h`.

**Fix:**
  <div class="example-container">
    <div class="example">
      <div class="example-inner">
        <div class="example-title">Before</div>
```c

  <dt>Summary</dt><dd>A keysym has been deprecated: consider using an alternative keysym</dd>

Some keysyms have ambiguous meaning. It is advised to migrate to an alternative keysym
if possible, as deprecated keysyms may be removed in the future. Consider using Unicode
keysyms (`Unnnn`) if relevant.

### XKB-433 – Missing default section {#XKB-433}

  <dt>Since</dt><dd>1.0.0</dd>
  <dt>Type</dt><dd>Warning</dd>
  <dt>Summary</dt><dd>Missing default section in included file</dd>
</dl>

When using an include statement, the included file may contains multiple sections.
The include statement may specify the name of the section to include, or leave it
unspecified. In the latter case, the included file must then define a *default* section.
The present warning is shown when no default section is defined.

To solve this, either fix the include statement by specifying the exact section to
include, or declare a default section in the included file.

Numeric keysyms are not human-friendly. Use the corresponding named keysym
or Unicode keysym, if available.

**Error message:**

```
xkbcommon: WARNING: [XKB-489] numeric keysym "0x1001ed0"

matched layout. It can only be used in the [KcCGST] value of the rule if the
layout or variant is defined in the [MLVO] fields of the rule header.
Otherwise the rule is always discarded.

To fix the error, either remove the `:%%i` specifier or add a the relevant
[MLVO] field, e.g. `layout[any]`.
