Chris rightfully complained that having a boolean function argument is
new in cairo_show_text_glyphs, and indeed avoiding them has been one
of the API design criteria for cairo. Trying to come up with alternatives,
Owen suggested using a flag type which nicely solves the problem AND
future-proofs such a complex API.
Please welcome _flags_t APIs to cairo.h
Quick summary of changes:
- Move list of cairo source files out of src/Makefile.am and into
src/Sources.mk,
- Generate files src/Config.mk and src/Config.mk.win32 that choose
the right set of source files and headers based on configured
backends and features. This drastically simplifies building
using other build systems. The src/Makefile.win32 file needs
to be updated to reflect these changes.
- Add README files to various directories,
- Add toplevel HACKING file.
New public API:
cairo_text_cluster_t
cairo_has_show_text_glyphs()
cairo_show_text_glyphs()
Add accompanying gstate and surface functions, and surface backend methods.
No backends implement them just yet.
It was reported by Liu Yubao that cairo_status_t may be chosen to be
an int8_t by the compiler, in that case cairo_int_status_t values
assigned to cairo_status_t would overflow. Fix this by allocating
the values in int8_t range, and add compile-time sanity checks.
