As an aide to tracking down the source of uninitialised reads, run
VALGRIND_CHECK_MEM_IS_DEFINED() over the contents of image surfaces at the
boundary between backends, e.g. upon setting a glyph image or acquiring
a source image.
Use the surface user-data array allow to store an arbitrary set of
alternate image representations keyed by an interned string (which
ensures that it has a unique key in the user-visible namespace).
Update the API to mirror that of cairo_surface_set_user_data() [i.e.
return a status indicator] and switch internal users of the mime-data to
the public functions.
In order to correctly report the error back to the user during the
creation of a scaled font, we need to support a nil object per error.
Instead of statically allocating all possible errors, lazily allocate
the nil object the first time we need to report a particular error.
This fixes the misreporting of an INVALID_MATRIX or NULL_POINTER that
are common user errors during the construction of a scaled font.
Previously, we stored the per-display attributes inside a special
screen=NULL _cairo_xlib_screen_info_t. Now we keep track of known X
displays and store the screen information beneath the display structure
alongside the per-display hooks.
We use a small cache of size 16 for patterns created from solid colors,
e.g. cairo_set_source_rgb(). This helps with toolkits that draw many
widgets using the same colour scheme.
The cache uses a static index variable, which itself acts like a cache
of size 1, remembering the most recently used colour. So repeated
lookups for the same colour hit immediately. If that fails, the cache
is searched linearly, and if that fails too, a new pattern is created
and a random member of the cache is evicted.

In short, a single cache for all backends doesn't work, as one thread
using any backend can cause an unused xlib pattern to be evicted from
the cache, and trigger an xlib call while the display is being used
from another thread. Xlib is not prepared for this.
We use a small cache of size 16 for surfaces created for solid patterns.
This mainly helps with the X backends where we don't have to create a
pattern for every operation, so we save a lot on X traffic. Xft uses a
similar cache, so cairo's text rendering traffic with the xlib backend
now completely matches that of Xft.
The cache uses an static index variable, which itself acts like a cache of
size 1, remembering the most recently used solid pattern. So repeated
lookups for the same pattern hit immediately. If that fails, the cache is
searched linearly, and if that fails too, a new surface is created and a
random member of the cache is evicted.
Only surfaces that are "compatible" are used. The definition of compatible
is backend specific. For the xlib backend, it means that the two surfaces
are allocated on the same display. Implementations for compatibility are
provided for all backends that it makes sense.
This patch was produced by running git-stripspace on all *.[ch] files
within cairo. Note that this script would have also created all the changes
from the previous commits to remove trailing whitespace.
This patch was produced with the following (GNU) sed script:
sed -i -r -e '/^[ \t]*\/?\*/ s/[ \t]+$//'
run on all *.[ch] files within cairo, (though I manually excluded
src/cairo-atsui-font.c which has a code line that appears as a comment
to this script).
Replace cairo cache implementation (this code from cworth)
No more global glyph cache to clean up
Store glyphs in new per-scaled font caches which hold user-space metrics and device space bounding boxes
Refactor glyph drawing APIs so that the surface API is invoked directly from the gstate code.
Add path creation/destruction routines (to hold glyph paths)
New implementation of scaled fonts which uses per-scaled_font caches for glyphs and keeps user-space metrics, device-space bboxes along with glyph images and/or glyph paths.
Adapt to new scaled font API changes.
New cache and scaled_font APIs
Repond to bug fix in metrics computation for glyphs where y values were rounded up instead of down because of a sign difference between cairo and FreeType.

New function to reset all static data (eg. caches) to their initial state.
Fix check-valgrind target to depend on the 'all' target.
Add check for a new, proposed, XrmFinalize function.
Add cairo-debug.c.
Move the definition of CAIRO_BEGIN_DECLS to cairo-features.h so that it can be shared between public header files, and so that it doesn't clutter cairo.h
Implement reset_static_data in all modules as required.
Call cairo_debug_reset_static_data and FcFini so that we can have all tests be valgrind-clean with respect to memory leaks and still-reachable data.
