huntedbytheirs 7f3cad8cb6 perf(wave2): dynamic config arrays, flat dwindle tree, dual client arrays
Wave 2 changes:
- Dynamic Config arrays with geometric growth (cap=16, 2x growth)
  → saves ~2.5 MB heap for typical configs vs fixed 128-entry arrays
- Proper deep-copy protocol in on_config_reload/do_reload (free old, move new, zero source)
- Flat DwindleTree array with int children[2]/parent indices
  → eliminates pointer chasing, contiguous allocation, iterative two-pass recalc
- Lazy per-tag allocation (DwindleTree.nodes starts NULL, allocates on first use)
- Dual client_arr + fstack_arr arrays alongside wl_list/fstack for cache-friendly iteration
  → arrange() and focustop() use array scan instead of linked-list pointer chase
- All arrays maintain size-tracking (nclients, nfstack) for bounds checking
- Zero-warning build with clang -Werror -Wpedantic

PeachWM

peachwm

peachwm is a fork of swindle PeachWM is now a independent wayland compositor based on WLRoots that is designed to be similar to MangoWC, while remaining lightweight.

PeachWM is maintained by HuntedByTheIRS.

Features

  • Lua configuration
  • Dwindle, Master, Monocle, and Floating layouts
  • XWayland support
  • Lightweight

Dependencies

  • libinput
  • wayland
  • wlroots-0.20 (compiled with the libinput backend)
  • scenefx (for rendering effects)
  • xkbcommon
  • wayland-protocols (compile-time only)
  • pkg-config (compile-time only)
  • a C23 compiler — GCC 14+ or Clang 18+ (clang recommended)

Install these (and their -devel versions if your distro has separate development packages) and run make followed by doas/sudo make install, if you wish to install it (installs to /usr/local/bin/ by default).

SceneFX

PeachWM uses scenefx for rendering eye-candy effects on screen. These effects are now considered stable and no longer experimental.

Effects

  • Rounded corners — smooth, configurable corner rounding on windows
  • Shadows — drop shadows for windows
  • More effects are planned and on the way.

Configuration

Read example/config.lua. It should give you a basic idea of how configuring peachwm works.

Its good to move/copy /etc/peachwm/config.lua to $HOME/.config/peachwm/, but will start without this step if you choose not to.

Installation

make release -j$(nproc)
sudo make install
mkdir -p $HOME/.config/peachwm/
cp /etc/peachwm/config.lua $HOME/.config/peachwm/config.lua

Roadmap

  • No longer require exiting peachwm upon input config changes
  • Allow status bar requests (swaymsg like)
  • Add smartgaps
  • Implement scratchpad workspaces
  • Add animations via scenefx
