We only care about three properties in the arch:
- endianness
- pointer size
- for 32-bit archs, whether double is aligned on 4 or 8 bytes
This leads to the following 6 archs (old name -> new name):
x86 -> le32d4
mipsel -> le32d8
x86-64 -> le64
m68k -> be32d4
ppc -> be32d8
ppc64 -> be64
If the generated header files are included in the distribution, a build
outside of the source directory will use them. For machine-specific files,
this generates the wrong result (fcarch.h). Leaving them out of the
distribution forces them to be built.
Instead of relying on mtime ordering between a directory and its associated
cache file, write the directory mtime into the cache file itself. This makes
cache file checks more reliable across file systems.
This change is made in a way that old programs can use new cache files, but
new programs will need new cache files.
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
Pagesize no longer matters in architecture decisions, the entire cache file
is mmaped into the library. However, lots of intptr_t values are in use now,
so that value is important.
fc-lang now requires fcserialize.c, which has been added to the repository.
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.
Map existing architecture signature to short architecture name
at build time. This architecture name is (as yet) unused, but will be used
to build per-architecture cache files with names made unique by including
the architecture name. The auto-detected architecture name can be overridden
with the --with-arch=ARCH configure option.
