This makes a lot of code safer. We only try modifying the object in one
place, after making sure it's safe to do so. So, do a const_cast<> in
that one place...
Otherwise, we might process a lookup thousands of times, with no
benefit. This pathological case was hit by Noto Nastaliq Urdu Draft
in Firefox's code to determine whether space glyph is involved in
any GSUB/GPOS rules. A test page is at http://behdad.org/urdu
See:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1090869
Normally if you want to, say, conditionally prevent a 'pref', you
would use blocking contextual matching. Some designers instead
form the 'pref' form, then undo it in context. To detect that
we now also remember glyphs that went through MultipleSubst.
In the only place that this is used, Uniscribe seems to only care
about the "last" transformation between Ligature and Multiple
substitions. Ie. if you ligate, expand, and ligate again, it
moves the pref, but if you ligate and expand it doesn't. That's
why we clear the MULTIPLIED bit when setting LIGATED.

This reverts commit d5bd0590ae.
The reasoning behind that logic was flawed and made under
a misunderstanding of the original problem, and caused
regressions as reported by Jonathan Kew in thread titled
"tibetan marks" in Oct 2013. Apparently I have had fixed
the original problem with this commit:
7e08f1258d
So, revert the faulty commit and everything seems to be in good
shape.
Commit 6b65a76b40. "end" was becoming
negative. Was trigerred by Lohit-Kannada 2.5.3 and the sequence:
U+0CB0,U+200D,U+0CBE,U+0CB7,U+0CCD,U+0C9F,U+0CCD,U+0CB0,U+0C97,U+0CB3
Two glyphs were being duplicated.
Previously we only supported recursive sublookups with
ascending indices. We were also not correctly handling
non-1-to-1 recursed lookups.
Fix all that!
Fixes the three tests in test/shaping/tests/context-matching.tests,
which were derived from NotoSansBengali and NotoSansDevanagari
among others.
During GSUB, if a ligation happens, subsequence context input matching
matches the new indexing. During GPOS however, the indices never
change. So just go one by one.
Fixes 'dist' positioning with mmrtext.ttf and the following sequence:
U+1014,U+1039,U+1011,U+1014,U+1039,U+1011,U+1014,U+1039,U+1011
Reported by Jonathan Kew.
If there's a mark ligating forward with non-mark, they were
inheriting the GC of the mark and later get advance-zeroed.
Don't do that if there's any non-mark glyph in the ligature.
Sample test: U+1780,U+17D2,U+179F with Kh-Metal-Chrieng.ttf
Also:
Bug 58922 - Issue with mark advance zeroing in generic shaper
After the Ngapi hackfest work, we were assuming that fonts
won't use presentation features to choose specific forms
(eg. conjuncts). As such, we were using auto-joiner behavior
for such features. It proved to be troublesome as many fonts
used presentation forms ('pres') for example to form conjuncts,
which need to be disabled when a ZWJ is inserted.
Two examples:
U+0D2F,U+200D,U+0D4D,U+0D2F with kartika.ttf
U+0995,U+09CD,U+200D,U+09B7 with vrinda.ttf
What we do now is to never do magic to ZWJ during GSUB's main input
match for Indic-style shapers. Note that backtrack/lookahead are still
matched liberally, as is GPOS. This seems to be an acceptable
compromise.
As to the bug that initially started this work, that one needs to
be fixed differently:

When a match_func was not set on the matcher_t object (ie. from GPOS),
then the Default_Ignorables (including joiners) were never skipped.
This meant that they were not skipped as they should during GPOS
matching. Fix that.
A few Indic numbers have "regressed": BENGALI and DEVANAGARI went
up from 290 and 58 respectively, but in both cases new results are
superior to Uniscribe, as they apply GPOS when we weren't (and
Uniscribe isn't) before.

Originally we meant to match backtrack/lookahead across syllable
boundaries. But a bug in the code meant that this was NOT done for
backtrack. We "fixed" that in 2c7d0b6b80,
but that broke Myanmar shaping.
We now believe that for Indic-like shapers (which is where syllables are
used), all basic shaping forms should be fully contained within their
syllables, so now we limit backtrack/lookahead matching to the syllable
too. Unbreaks Myanmar.
Not for Arabic, but for Indic-like scripts. ZWJ/ZWNJ have special
meanings in those scripts, so let font lookups take full control.
This undoes the regression caused by automatic-joiners handling
introduced two commits ago.
We only disable automatic joiner handling for the "basic shaping
features" of Indic, Myanmar, and SEAsian shapers. The "presentation
forms" and other features are still applied with automatic-joiner
handling.
This change also changes the test suite failure statistics, such that
a few scripts show more "failures". The most affected is Kannada.
However, upon inspection, we believe that in most, if not all, of the
new failures, we are producing results superior to Uniscribe. Hard to
count those!
Here's an example of what is fixed by the recent joiner-handling
changes:

When matching lookups, be smart about default-ignorable characters.
In particular:
Do nothing specific about ZWNJ, but for the other default-ignorables:
If the lookup in question uses the ignorable character in a sequence,
then match it as we used to do. However, if the sequence match will
fail because the default-ignorable blocked it, try skipping the
ignorable character and continue.
The most immediate thing it means is that if Lam-Alef forms a ligature,
then Lam-ZWJ-Alef will do to. Finally!
One exception: when matching for GPOS, or for backtrack/lookahead of
GSUB, we ignore ZWNJ too. That's the right thing to do.
It certainly is possible to build fonts that this feature will result
in undesirable glyphs, but it's hard to think of a real-world case
that that would happen.
This *does* break Indic shaping right now, since Indic Unicode has
specific rules for what ZWJ/ZWNJ mean, and skipping ZWJ is breaking
those rules. That will be fixed in upcoming commits.
Before, when matching ligatures, we never skipping over base / liga
glyphs even if that was what the LookupFlags asked for.
Fixed now. We carefully reviewed all instances of this, and tested with
Amiri as well as some Indic scripts, and are confident that this should
NOT break anyone's fonts. It's also how Uniscribe does it, from what
we can tell.
