Trying to address what these configuration files really do.
This change allows to see the short description that mention
the purpose of the content in the config file and obtain
them through API.
This change also encourage one who want to make some UI for
the user-specific configuration management. it is the main
purpose of this change for me though.
Aside from that, I've also made programs translatable. so
we see more dependencies on the build time for gettext,
and itstool to generate PO from xml.
Add an ability to set the system root to generate the caches.
In order to do this, new APIs, FcConfigGetSysRoot() and
FcConfigSetSysRoot() is available.
Allows reading configuration files, fonts and cache files from
the directories where the XDG Base Directory Specification defines.
the old directories are still in the configuration files for
the backward compatibility.
When updating from older fontconfig versions, if the config file
is not replaced, it will not contain <cachedir> elements. Lacking these,
fontconfig has no place to store cached font information and cannot operate
reasonably.
Add code to check and see if the loaded configuration has no cache
directories, and if so, warn the user and add both the default system cache
directory and the normal per-user cache directory.
Using a simple shell script that processes the public headers, two header
files are constructed that map public symbols to hidden internal aliases
avoiding the assocated PLT entry for referring to a public symbol.
A few mistakes in the FcPrivate/FcPublic annotations were also discovered
through this process
Without reference counting on cache objects, there's no way to know when
an application is finished using objects pulled from the cache. Until some
kinf of cache reference counting can be done, leave all cache objects mapped
for the life of the library (until FcFini is called). To mitigate the cost
of this, ensure that each instance of a cache file is mapped only once.
Instead of passing directory information around in separate variables,
collect it all in an FcCache structure. Numerous internal and tool
interfaces changed as a result of this.
Charsets are now pre-frozen before being serialized. This causes them to
share across multiple fonts in the same cache.
and distribute bytes for each directory from a single malloc for that
directory. Store pointers as differences between the data pointed to
and the pointer's address (s_off = s - v). Don't serialize data
structures that never actually get serialized. Separate strings used
for keys from strings used for values (in FcPatternElt and FcValue,
respectively). Bump FC_CACHE_VERSION to 2.
cache. Add *Read and *Write procedures which mmap in and write out the
fontconfig data structures to disk. Currently, create cache in /tmp,
with different sections for each architecture (as returned by uname's
.machine field. Run the fc-cache binary to create a new cache file;
fontconfig then uses this cache file on subsequent runs, saving lots of
memory. Also fixes a few bugs and leaks.
memoize strings and share a single copy for all uses. Note that this could
be improved further by using statically allocated blocks and gluing
multiple strings together, but I'm basically lazy. In my environment
with 800 font files, I get a savings of about 90KB.
