New API:
hb_buffer_flags_t
HB_BUFFER_FLAGS_DEFAULT
HB_BUFFER_FLAG_BOT
HB_BUFFER_FLAG_EOT
HB_BUFFER_FLAG_PRESERVE_DEFAULT_IGNORABLES
hb_buffer_set_flags()
hb_buffer_get_flags()
We use the BOT flag to decide whether to insert dottedcircle if the
first char in the buffer is a combining mark.
The PRESERVE_DEFAULT_IGNORABLES flag prevents removal of characters like
ZWNJ/ZWJ/...
Can be -1 for NUL-terminated string. This is useful for passing parts
of a larger string to a function without having to copy or modify the
string first.
Affected functions:
hb_tag_t hb_tag_from_string()
hb_direction_from_string()
hb_language_from_string()
hb_script_from_string()
For two reasons:
1. User can always call hb_buffer_pre_allocate() themselves, and
2. Now we do a pre_alloc in add_utfX anyway, so the total number of
reallocs is limited to a small number (~3) anyway. This just makes the
API cleaner.
This includes HB_DIRECTION_INVALID and HB_SCRIPT_INVALID.
The INVALID will cause a "guess whatever from the text" in hb_shape().
While it's not ideal, it works better than the previous defaults at
least (HB_DIRECTION_LTR and HB_SCRIPT_COMMON).
