_cairo_surface_create_similar_solid() creates a fresh pattern to wrap
color, however sometimes the caller already has that pattern available.
In those circumstances we can pass the pattern as well as the color and
avoid the extra allocation.
Fixing this uncovered a leak of a CAIRO_INT_STATUS_UNSUPPORTED value
up to cairo_show_page, (and similarly to cairo_copy_page). There was
really no good reason for _cairo_surface_show_page and
_cairo_surface_copy_page to be returning cairo_int_status_t. Fix
this by simply handling the UNSUPPORTED return at the surface layer
instead of the gstate layer.
Most of the time pixman_region_init is called without any extents, and
followed by a pixman_region_union_rect, used to used to initialize
rectangular regions. pixman_region_union_rect is not that cheap, but
the sequence is called quite often. So it should be worth introducing
a specialized and fast function for this sequence.
This introduces pixman_region_init_rect. This new function makes
_cairo_region_init_from_rectangle obsolete.
Also removes the extent argument from pixman_region_init as it was
called with NULL most of the time. A pixman_region_init_with_extents
is added for the general case.
This is necessary to avoid many portability problems as cairoint.h includes
config.h. Without a test, we will regress again, hence add it.
The inclusion idiom for cairo now is:
#include "cairoint.h"
#include "cairo-something.h"
#include "cairo-anotherthing-private.h"
#include <some-library.h>
#include <other-library/other-file.h>
Moreover, some standard headers files are included from cairoint.h and need
not be included again.
All mutex declarations have been moved to cairo-mutex-list.h.
This should avoid breaking of less frequently tested backends,
when mutexes are introduced or when existing mutexes are renamed.
Instead of initializing mutexes on library startup, mutexes are
lazily initialized within the few entry points of now by calling
CAIRO_MUTEX_INITIALIZE(). Currently only the OS/2 backend takes
care about releasing global mutexes. Therefore there is no counter
part of that macro for finalizing all global mutexes yet - but
as cairo-backend-os2.c shows such a function would be quite
easy to implement.
We detect an error in the surface before calling into private surface-modifying
functions, (such as _cairo_surface_set_font_options), that don't have the
nil-surface protection of public functions.
This should fix the problem reported (again) in this bug report:
cairo crashes in cairo_create_simular if nil surface returned by other->backend->create_similar
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9844
Though I haven't succeeded in replicating the bug yet, (perhaps a system
difference in allowing writes to read-only memory or not, or something
like that).
When a single function accepts pointers for multiple return values,
the convention is that it's legal for the user to pass NULL for
those pointers in case the user is only interested in some subset
of the values.
This was already properly implemented for functions such as
cairo_pattern_get_rgba, etc.
Here we fix four functions to follow the same convention:
cairo_stroke_extents
cairo_fill_extents
cairo_clip_extents
cairo_surface_get_device_offset
On some architectures, gcc will emit a memcpy for structure copies which will
produce a valgrind warning when the source and destination pointers are the
same. Workaround this issue by explicitly checking the source and destination
for inequality before doing the structure assignment.

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.
for surface patterns.
Right before releasing cairo 1.2, Carl and I decided to return error on
CAIRO_EXTEND_PAD and CAIRO_EXTEND_REFLECT for surface patterns, as they
are not implemented and one was causing crashes. Well, that was probably
the worst decision we could make (other than ignoring the problem). A
much better decision would have been to make them act like
CAIRO_EXTEND_NONE and CAIRO_EXTEND_REPEAT respectively. Anyway, remove
the error paths.
Previous commit broke cairo_surface_finish, since it was checking for
ref_count == CAIRO_REF_COUNT_INVALID and bailing. But, that condition
was reached from destroy, so finish was bailing out early.
user_data setters/getters were added to public refcounted objects
that were missing them (cairo_t, pattern, scaled_font). Also,
a refcount getter (cairo_*_get_reference_count) was added to all
public refcounted objects.
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.
A cairo_scaled_font_t can be implicitly shared among multiple threads
as the same cairo_scaled_font_t can be returned from different calls
to cairo_scaled_font_create. To retain the illusion that these
different calls produce distinct objects, cairo must internally lock
access when modifying them.
Each glyph in the scaled font is represented by a cairo_surface_t
which is used when rendering the glyph. Instead of attempting to push
fine-grained locking of these surfaces down to the backend rendering
functions, a simple per-cairo_scaled_font_t lock has been introduced
which protects the entire rendering path against re-entrancy.
Some care was required to ensure that existing re-entrancy was handled
appropriately; these cases are in the wrapping surfaces
(cairo-paginated, test-meta and test-paginated).
Thanks to Vladimir Vukicev and Peter Weilbacher for testing/providing
the mutex definitions for win32 and os2 (respectively).
Calling cairo_surface_finish from cairo_surface_destroy was
triggering an error due to finish being called twice. The
error was usually hidden as the surface would still eventually
be destroyed. But it did clutter things up quite badly if a
user was trying to break on _cairo_error to track down a
problem.
Thanks again to Stuart Parmenter <stuartp@gmail.com>
for pointing out the problem.
The rule is: cairo_glyph_t* is always passed as const for measurement
purposes. This was not reflected in our public api previously. Fixed
Showing glyphs used to have cairo_glyph_t* always as const. With this
changed, it is only const on cairo_t and cairo_gstate_t operations.
cairo_surface_t, cairo_scaled_font_t, and individual backends receive
cairo_glyph_t* as non-const. The desired semantics is that they may modify
the contents of the array as long as they do not return
CAIRO_STATUS_UNSUPPORTED. This makes it possible to avoid copying the glyph
array again and again, and edit it in-place. Backends are in fact free to use
the array as a generic buffer as they see fit.
This fixes a huge performance bug (entire image was being pushed to X
server in order to copy a tiny piece of it). I see up to 50x improvement
from subimage_copy (which was designed to expose this problem) but also
a 5x improvement in some text performance cases.

New internal function _cairo_surface_set_font_options is used to set them.
cairo_surface_create_similar propagates the font options of the other
surface into the newly created surface. Fixes bugs with font options in
fallback images and bug 4106.
Fixes the bug that paginated backends had font-matrix translation
applied twice, AND removes a second copy of the glyphs. It's
essentially similar to what cworth did for stroke/fill/clip in
this commit: bd92eb7f3c
Reviewed by: Carl Worth
As the font matrix includes translation, which is otherwise unused for glyph
transformation, the interpretation of translation is fairly arbitrary. For
1.2.0, we choose to have this translation affect the glyph advance with the
thought that it could be used to do letter spacing/kerning. That is fairly
useless in practice, and a far more useful interpretation is to relocate
the origin of each glyph.
This patch uses the translation in the font matrix as an offset for the
glyph origin in user space. It turns out glyph extents were already correctly
shifted.
The end result with this patch is to have cairo match the 1.0 behaviour for
font matrix translations, but now we know why :-)
