This changes the rewriting of the FC_FILE values for relocated caches to an earlier stage
while reading the cache. This is better, because it means all APIs will report the
rewritten paths, not just the once that use the list apis.
We do this by detecting the relocated case and duplicating the FcPattern and FcPatternElm
in an cache allocation (which will die with the cache) and then reusing the FcValueLists
from the cache.
This means that in the rewritten case we will use some more memory, but not the full
size of the cache. In a test here I had 800k of relocated caches, but ~200k of wasted
on duplicating the objects.
This should fix https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=106618
This is the last piece of the puzzle for variable-font support in
fontconfig. This takes care of automatically setting the variation
settings when user requests a weight / width / size that has variation
in the matched font.
just setting FC_MATCH=3 shows a lot of information and hard to keep on track for informamtion
which is really necessary to see. to use this more effectively, added FC_DBG_MATCH_FILTER to
see for what one really want to see. it takes a comma-separated-list of object names.
If you want to see family name only, try like this:
FC_DBG_MATCH_FILTER=family FC_DEBUG=4096 fc-match
debugging output will be filtered out and see family only in the result.
This feature requires the FreeType 2.5.1 or later at the build time.
Besides <range> element allows <double> elements with this changes.
This may breaks the cache but not bumping in this change sets at this moment.
please be aware if you want to try it and run fc-cache before/after to
avoid the weird thing against it.
This change reverts 9acc14c34a
because it doesn't work as expected when building
with -fshort-enums which is default for older arms ABIs
Thanks for pointing this out, Thomas Klausner, Valery Ushakov, and Martin Husemann
We used to have a shared-str pool. Removed to make thread-safety
work easier. My measurements show that the extra overhead is not
significant by any means.
After 7587d1c99d applied, family,
style, and fullname is localized against current locale or lang
if any though, the string in other languages were dropped from
the pattern. this caused unexpected mismatch on the target="font"
rules.
This fix adds other strings at the end of the list.
This is a reasonably conservative increase in the number of buckets in the hash
table to 251. After FcInit(), there are 240 shared strings in use on my system
(from configuration files I assume). The hash value is stored in each link in
the chains so comparison are actually not very expensive. This change should
reduce the average length of chains by a factor of 8. With the reference
counted strings, it should keep the average length of chains to about 2. The
number of buckets is prime so as not to rely too much on the quality of the
hash function.

Patch from Karl Tomlinson
I noticed that Qt always uses a different font than fc-match advertises.
Debugging the issue, I found that a call that looks pretty innocent is
changing all weak bindings to strong bindings and as such changes the
semantic of the match: FcPatternDuplicate.
The union inside the FcValue structure contains pad bytes. Instead of
copying the whole structure to the cache block, copy only the initialized
fields to avoid writing whichever bytes serve as padding within the
structure.
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
Caches contain patterns and character sets which are reference counted and
visible to applications. Reference count the underlying cache object so that
it stays around until all reference objects are no longer in use.
This is less efficient than just leaving all caches around forever, but does
avoid eternal size increases in case applications ever bother to actually
look for changes in the font configuration.
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.
Eliminate ancient list of object name databases and load names into single
hash table that includes type information. Typecheck all pattern values to
avoid mis-typed pattern elements.
FcCharSetSerialize was computing the offset to the unserialized leaf,
which left it pointing at random data when the cache was reloaded.
fc-cat has been updated to work with the new cache structure.
Various debug messages extended to help diagnose serialization errors.
Replace all of the bank/id pairs with simple offsets, recode several
data structures to always use offsets inside the library to avoid
conditional paths. Exposed data structures use pointers to hold offsets,
setting the low bit to distinguish between offset and pointer.
Use offset-based data structures for lang charset encodings; eliminates
separate data structure format for that file.
Much testing will be needed; offsets are likely not detected everywhere in
the library yet.
