From Abel Cheung:
Currently zh_mo.orth includes zh_tw.orth, which means it is assumed Macau
only uses traditional Chinese characters used in Taiwan; however that is
wrong, as a majority of Macau people speaks Cantonese too, and also uses
additional traditional Chinese chars from Hong Kong (there are already some
place names that can't be represented in just chars used in Taiwan). So it
should include zh_hk.orth instead.
Within a fontset, the patterns are stored as pointers in an array.
When stored as offsets, the offsets are relative to the fontset object
itself, not the base of the array of pointers.
Charset freezer api now uses allocated object. Also required minor fixes to
charset freezer code to remove assumption that all input charsets are
persistant.
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.
Automatically list all font directories when no arguments are given to
fc-cat. Also add -r option to recurse from specified cache directories.
fc-cat also now prints the cache filename in verbose mode, along with the
related directory name.
Validate cache contents and skip broken caches, looking down cache path for
valid ones.
Every time a directory is scanned, it will be written to a cache file if
possible, so fc-cache doesn't need to re-write the cache file. This makes
detecting when the cache was generated a bit tricky, so we guess that if the
cache wasn't valid before running and is valid afterwards, the cache file
was written.
Also, allow empty charsets to be serialized with null leaves/numbers.
Eliminate a leak in FcEdit by switching to FcObject sooner.
Call FcFini from fc-match to make valgrind happy.
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.
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.
The fancy new FcFontSetMatch algorithm would discard fonts for the
wrong reasons; fc-match sans:lang=en,ja would discard all fonts without
Japanese support. This commit reverts to the original algorithm which
ensure that FcFontSetMatch always matches the first font in the
FcFontSetSort return list.
As file timestamps have only one second granularity, an old cache
file could easily be used when a test took less than 1 second to run.
Just remove the cache directory and its contents before each test is run.
Also, remove mention of the old cache file from the test config file.
FcStrCanonFilename eliminates ./ and ../ elements from pathnames through
simple string editing. Also, relative path names are fixed by prepending the
current working directory.
With the removal of the in-directory cache files, and the addition of
per-user cache directories, there is no longer any reason to preserve the
giant global cache file. Eliminating of this unifies the cache structure
and simplifies the overall caching strategies greatly.
Normalized directory names offer protection against looped directory trees
but cost enormous numbers of system calls (stat per file in the hierarchy).
Also, cache file directory name contents are validated each time the
directory is modified, don't re-validate every time the cache file is loaded
with an access and stat call.
Previous policy was to attempt to update the cache in place and bail if that
didn't work. Now, search for the first writable directory and place the
cache file there instead. Furthermore, on startup, search directory list for
valid cache files instead of bailing if the first found cache file wasn't
valid.
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.
permitting cache files to be stored in font dirs. Bump cache magic.
Don't include /fonts.cache-2 in cache hash construction.
