This makes the results of the test suite more stable across different
environments, because it does not rely anymore on
CAIRO_FONT_FAMILY_DEFAULT (which on Windows is "Arial", on Mac
"Helvetica").
This change should not affect Linux environments, assuming that the
default font is already set to "DejaVu Sans".
Avoid calling libtool to link every single test case, by building just one
binary from all the sources.
This binary is then given the task of choosing tests to run (based on user
selection and individual test requirement), forking each test into its own
process and accumulating the results.
In order to run under memfault, the framework is first extended to handle
running concurrent tests - i.e. multi-threading. (Not that this is a
requirement for memfault, instead it shares a common goal of storing
per-test data). To that end all the global data is moved into a per-test
context and the targets are adjusted to avoid overlap on shared, global
resources (such as output files and frame buffers). In order to preserve
the simplicity of the standard draw routines, the context is not passed
explicitly as a parameter to the routines, but is instead attached to the
cairo_t via the user_data.
For the masochist, to enable the tests to be run across multiple threads
simply set the environment variable CAIRO_TEST_NUM_THREADS to the desired
number.
In the long run, we can hope the need for memfault (runtime testing of
error paths) will be mitigated by static analysis. A promising candidate
for this task would appear to be http://hal.cs.berkeley.edu/cil/.
And update user-font text_to_glyphs() method to match.
Currently disable the win32-font text_to_glyphs(), until that one
is updated. Or better yet, remove it and implement ucs4_to_index().
It's the toy font API afterall.
The init func does not actually need to draw anything, but having a cairo_t
similar to that passed to render_glyph is handy for computing font extents.
This is because cairo makes doing some things really hard (if not impossible)
without a cairo_t.
The user-font-proxy test case is a great example of how the added cairo_t
makes life much easier.
