Seeing unexpected time inside pixman composite is quite disturbing when
trying to track down the apparent slowness in some benchmarks. Remove one
source of this artefact by simply memcpy'ing pixel data when trivial.
The glyph advance cache was only enabled for glyph indices < 256,
causing a large number of misses for non-ASCII text. Improve this by
simply applying the modulus of the index to select the cache slot - which
may cause some glyph advances to be overwritten and re-queried, but
improves the hit rate.
Bah, the compiler failed to do its IPA correctly and wrongly complained
about potential use of uninitialised out-params guarded by the return
value. Silence them!
Frequently to push an object onto the stack all we need is to simply
perform the struct copy - so inline it and only call the out-of-line
function if we need to enlarge the stack.
The relational comparison operators can now compare strings vs names
by content as well as performing automatic type promotions on the
numeric types. For other types relational comparisons succeeed
only if the values compare equal according to the eq operator, and
put the interpreter into a type-error state otherwise.
The eq operator would only work for some types and put the
interpreter in an error state if passed objects it didn't
know how to compare. It would also not compare strings
by value nor allow strings to be compared to names.
This patch makes any two objects comparable.
Add a CairoScript interpreter library and use it to replay the test output
for the CairoScript backend. The library is also used by the currently
standalone Sphinx debugger [git://anongit.freedesktop.org/~ickle/sphinx].
The syntax/operator semantics are not yet finalized, but are expected to
mature before the next stable release.
