used to reduce the amount of heap size required to only test wether
we're dealing with a BDF font (the old code allocated 64 Kb right
before any test).
* src/lzw/ftlzw.c (FT_Stream_OpenLZW): modified the function to check
the LZW header before doing anything else. This helps avoid un-necessary
heap allocations (400 Kb of heap memory for the LZW decoder ! Oh my !)
* src/gzip/ftgzip.c (FT_Stream_OpenGZip): ditto for the .gz decoder,
though the code savings is smaller.
according to decreasing maximum cumulative allocations.
* include/freetype/internal/tttypes.h, src/sfnt/ttsbit.c, src/sfnt/ttsbit0.c,
src/truetype/ttobjs.c, src/cff/cffobjs.c, src/sfnt/sfobjs.c: implementing new
heap-optimized embedded bitmap loader. This one also fixes bug #12107
* src/sfnt/sfobjs.c: fixed bug that prevented loading SFNT fonts without
a 'kern' table.
drastically reduce the heap usage of FreeType, especially in the case
of memory-mapped files. The idea is to avoid loading and decoding tables
in the heap, and instead access the raw data whenever possible (i.e.
when it doesn't compromise performance).
This had several impacts: first, opening vera.ttf uses a ridiculous amount
of memory (when the FT_Library footprint is accounted for), until you start
loading glyphs. Even then, you'll save at least 20 Kb compared to the non
optimized case. performance of various operations, including open/close
has also been dramatically improved.
More optimisations to come. The auto-hinter eats memory like crazy? This
must be stopped...
in the memory debugger. Also a new function FT_DumpMemory() was added.
It is only available in builds with FT_DEBUG_MEMORY defined, and you
must declare it in your own code to use it, i.e. with something
like:
extern void FT_DumpMemory( FT_Memory );
...
FT_DumpMemory( memory );
* include/freetype/config/ftoptions.h: disabling TrueType bytecode
interpreter !
* include/freetype/internal/ftmemory.h: adding FT_ARRAY_ZERO, as a
convenience macro.
conversion function (mainly stupid optimization, because I like
these... shame on me)
* src/base/Jamfile: adding ftbitmap.c to the list of compiled files
