A common requirement is the fast upload of pixel data. In order to
allocate the most appropriate image buffer, we need knowledge of the
destination. The most obvious example is that we could use a
shared-memory region for the image to avoid the transfer cost of
uploading the pixels to the X server. Similarly, gl, win32, quartz...
The other side of the equation is that for manual modification of a
remote surface, it would be more efficient if we can create a similar
image to reduce the transfer costs. This strategy is already followed
for the destination fallbacks and this merely exposes the same
capability for the application fallbacks.

During replay we want to handle recording surfaces specially, and not
redirect the creation of those to the target surface. This is similar to
the need to keep image surfaces as images during replay.

Restructure the Makefiles in .sources, .am and .win32 to enable
building cairo-script-interpreter on Win32.
Some minor changes are needed to compile on MSVC:
- include stdint.h to define INT_MAX-like macros
- redefine "inline"
- avoid deprecated functions (snprintf, replaced by _snprintf)
- define _USE_MATH_DEFINES so that math.h defines M_PI, M_SQRT2 and
M_LN2
This is a common format used by framebuffers to drive 10bpc displays
and is often hardware accelerated by XRender with underlying support
from pixman's x2r10g10b10 format (which provides coercion paths for
fallbacks).

This is consistent with the naming of most cairo types/functions
(example: cairo_foo_surface_*).
The substitution in the code has been performed using:
sed -i 's/cairo_pattern_mesh_/cairo_mesh_pattern_/' <files>
The reuse hit rate is very small, and most images are quickly
distinguished in the first few bytes... Though perhaps not for video as
in the swfdec-youtube case...
After a renewed discussion, it was pointed out that the API in Cairo was
not restrictive and by using doubles we would be consisted with the rest
of the API. Thus prompting the name change to
cairo_surface_create_for_rectangle()
similar to cairo_rectangle().
And document the public API.
I updated the Free Software Foundation address using the following script.
for i in $(git grep Temple | cut -d: -f1 )
do
sed -e 's/59 Temple Place[, -]* Suite 330, Boston, MA *02111-1307[, ]* USA/51 Franklin Street, Suite 500, Boston, MA 02110-1335, USA/' -i "$i"
done

The script interpreter was reading the length of compressed data as
an host-endian uint32_t, thus making cairo-script able to correctly
read traces that were produced on the same endianness as the one they
ran upon, but unsuitable for portabile cairo-scripts.

When compiling we can depend on whatever version of cairo we need, but
we should be wary of checking for runtime compatibility when building
standalone.
We were exposing the actual value of CAIRO_FORMAT_INVALID
through API functions already, so it makes sense to just
go ahead and put it in the cairo_format_t enum.
Should fix:
Bug 26509 - Cairo fails to compile without mmap
http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26509
As reported by Hib Eris, Cairo files to compile under a mingw32
cross-compiler as we use a structure only defined if HAVE_MMAP
unconditionally.
By implicitly reference the target of the context instead, i.e.
this reduces the use of:
/target get (example.png) write-to-png pop
as a common idiom where the context is kept on the stack and the surface
forgotten.
Real applications that control their Drawable externally to Cairo are
'disadvantaged' by cairo-perf-trace when it creates a similar surface
for each new instance of the same Drawable. The difficulty in
maintaining one perf surface for every application surface is that the
traces do not track lifetimes for the application surfaces, so we would
just accumulate stale surfaces. The surface cache takes a different
approach and returns the same surface for each active Drawable, and
maintains a hold-over of the MRU 16 surfaces. This achieves 60-80% hit
rate with firefox, which is probably as good as can be expected.
Obviously for double-buffered applications we only every draw to freshly
created surfaces (and Gtk+ bypasses cairo to do the final copy -- the
ideal application would just use a push-group for double buffering, in
which case we would capture and replay the entire expose event).
To enable use of the surface cache whilst replaying use -c:
./cairo-perf-trace -c firefox-talos-gfx
In order to get a baseline for win32 performance testing, always create a
font so that the trace can be replayed. Not ideal, but I feel this the
pragmatic solution for judging the performance differentials before I can
work out a better solution for loading typ42 fonts.
In order to enable replay of traces on machines that do not use FreeType
as the native font system, we need to convert a type42 font into something
similar. Currently the fallback is just to select a font with the same
name - this ignores weight and slant, and many other details.
A very simple surface that produces a hierarchical DAG in a simple XML
format. It is intended to be used whilst debugging, for example with the
automatic regression finding tools of cairo-sphinx, and with test suites
that just want to verify that their code made a particular Cairo call.
cairo_script_context_t is an encapsulation object for interfacing with the
output - multiple surfaces can share the same context, meaning that they
write to the same destination file/stream.
Kerning is quite frequent, that is to apply a horizontal but no vertical
offset to a glyph. For instance by discarding the vertical coordinate
where it remains the same and only encoding the horizontal offset we
reduce the file size by ~12.5% when tracing poppler.
Infrequently, but, for example, handling glyph strings, we require the
string to be nul terminated. (Otherwise an error occurs, which was
previously compounded by a drastic leak.)
If we fail to add the glyph cache (presumably because the font is in
error) do not leak the allocation. As this occurs for every single glyph
string, the leak can grow very quickly and mask the original bug.
Currently the replay creates a fresh surface for every new surface. Whilst
using it to view replays (such as with --xlib) this is often not what is
desired so add a mode (compile-time only for now) to use similar surfaces
and blits to the front buffer instead.
