I stumbled over this when trying to upgrade the version of HarfBuzz used by
LibreOffice to 3.2.1 (see <https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/plugins/gitiles/core/
+/b7ddc514bff9bdf682abae537f990aa01dc2c0fb%5E!/> "Upgrade to latest
HarfBuzz 2.3.1"), where building with MSVC 2017 failed like
> c:\cygwin\home\tdf\lode\jenkins\workspace\gerrit_windows\workdir\unpackedtarball\harfbuzz\src\hb-atomic.hh(272): error C2440: 'reinterpret_cast': cannot convert from 'const int *' to 'std::atomic<int> *'
> c:\cygwin\home\tdf\lode\jenkins\workspace\gerrit_windows\workdir\unpackedtarball\harfbuzz\src\hb-atomic.hh(272): note: Conversion loses qualifiers
> c:\cygwin\home\tdf\lode\jenkins\workspace\gerrit_windows\workdir\unpackedtarball\harfbuzz\src\hb-atomic.hh(272): error C2227: left of '->load' must point to class/struct/union/generic type
(see <https://ci.libreoffice.org/job/gerrit_windows/29916/>).
I added all the necessary "const" to make building of HarfBuzz 2.3.1 with
MSVC 2017 succeed for me. There may be more missing at least conceptually.
It makes a hb_face_t from IDWriteFontFace, useful when using
DirectWrite facilities for font selection, loading and rendering
but using harfbuzz for shaping.
It is rather confusing to have script, language etc, in hb-common section
while feature is in hb-shape section. I keep looking for it in hb-common
section then using the API index because I can’t find it there.
For some reasons djgpp doesn't understand "unsigned int" can be same
with one of uint*_t anyway so lets do that for it explicitly.
Just to note, our CI's djgpp is based GCC 7.2.0 and isn't old.
https://voidlinux.org/ is yet another and different distro written from scratch, thus completely eligible to have a bot here!
Seriously however not that useful yet however but I will try to overload it other tasks later, like our other bots.
No test yet also, couldn't install cairo-devel, will try to fix that later.
