Example usage:
# Configure Meson build in directory `build-meson` to generate
# release binaries comparable to to the ones from the
# autotools/make build system.
meson setup build-meson \
--prefix=/usr/local \
--buildtype=debugoptimized \
--strip \
-Db_ndebug=true
# After configuring the Meson build with the above command,
# compile and install to `/usr/local/`; this includes a pkg-config
# file.
ninja -C build-meson install
# Alternatively, compile and install to `/tmp/aa/usr/local/...`
# for packaging.
DESTDIR=/tmp/aa ninja -C build-meson install
# Generate documentation under `build-meson/docs`.
ninja -C build-meson docs
Library size comparison for stripped `libfreetype.so` generated by
all three build systems:
- Default build (autotools + libtool): 712 KiB
- CMake build (RelWithDebInfo): 712 KiB
- Meson build: 712 KiB
* meson.build: New top-level Meson build file for the library.
* meson_options.txt: New file. It holds user-selectable options for
the build, which can be printed with `meson configure`, and selected
at `meson setup` or `meson --reconfigure` time with
`-D<option>=<value>`.
* scripts/parse_modules_cfg.py: A script invoked by `meson.build` to
parse `modules.cfg` and extract important information out of it
(i.e., the list of modules).
* scripts/process_ftoption_h.py: New script invoked by `meson.build`
to process the original `ftoption.h` file. It enables or disables
configuration macro variables based on the available dependencies.
This is similar to what other build systems are using (i.e., Meson's
`configure_file()` command is not used here).
* scripts/extract_freetype_version.py: New script invoked by
`meson.build` to extract the FreeType version number from
`<freetype/freetype.h>`.
* scripts/extract_libtool_version.py: New script invoked by
`meson.build` to extract the libtool `revision_info` data from
`builds/unix/configure.raw`, and to generate the corresponding
shared library suffix.
* scripts/generate_reference_docs.py: New script invoked by
`meson.build` to generate the FreeType 2 reference documentation
(using the `docwriter` and `mkdocs` packages, which must be already
installed).
Besides dropout control the second horizontal sweep is supposed to
clean up straight horizontal edges that are mishandled by the first
vertical sweep when a line passes through pixel centers. This line
would present as perfectly aligned span edges in the second sweep.
* src/raster/ftraster.c (Horizontal_Sweep_Span): Replace the old
implementation with a better one focusing on aligned span edges only.
Windows seems to perform smart dropout control at 26.6 precision.
To mimick Windows independent of increased precision, we need to tweak
the macro so that some close calls break down rather than up.
* src/raster/ftraster.c (SMART): Tweak the macro.
* src/truetype/ttinterp.h (TT_Round_Func): Change the last argument.
* src/truetype/ttinterp.c (Ins_ROUND, Ins_NROUND, Ins_MDAP, Ins_MIAP,
Ins_MDRP, Ins_MIRP): Move compensation retrieval from here...
(Round_*): ... to here.
* src/truetype/ttobjs.c (tt_size_init_bytecode): Reserve zero
compensation at color index 3.
For glyphs with OVERLAP_SIMPLE or OVERLAP_COMPOUND, set
FT_OUTLINE_OVERLAP to render them with direct oversampling, which
mitigates artifacts (see 3bb512bc9f).
* include/freetype/ftimage.h (FT_OUTLINE_OVERLAP): Redefine to rhyme
with OVERLAP_SIMPLE.
* src/base/ftgloadr.c (FT_GlyphLoader_Rewind): Reset outline flags.
* src/truetype/ttgload.c
(TT_Load_Simple_Glyph): Retain OVERLAP_SIMPLE.
(load_truetype_glyph): Retain OVERLAP_COMPOUND.
* include/freetype/internal/autohint.h
(FT_DECLARE_AUTOHINTER_INTERFACE): New macro.
* src/autofit/afmodule.h: Use it to declare
`af_autofitter_interface'.
* include/freetype/internal/ftobjs.h (FT_DECLARE_GLYPH): New macro.
* src/base/ftbase.h: Use it to declare `ft_bitmap_glyph_class' and
`ft_outline_glyph_class'.
* src/base/ftglyph.c: Include `ftbase.h'.
* src/cff/cffparse.c (cff_parser_run): Fix type of `t2_size'.
* src/pcf/pcfdrivr.c (pcf_cmap_char_next): Fix type of `result'.
* src/psaux/psauxmod.c (psaux_module_class): Use `FT_DEFINE_MODULE'.
* src/psaux/psauxmod.h: Declare `afm_parser_funcs',
`t1_cmap_classes', `cff_decoder_funcs', and `psaux_module_class'.
* src/pshinter/pshmod.c: Include `pshmod.h'.
* src/sfnt/sfwoff2.c (ROUND4, WRITE_SHORT): Fix implicit sign
conversion.
(compute_ULong_sum): Fix return type.
Fix implicit sign conversion.
(store_points): Fix type of `last_flag', `repeat_count', and `flag'.
Use casts to avoid warnings.
(reconstruct_glyf): Fix implicit sign conversion.
Use cast to avoid warning.
(get_x_mins): Fix implicit sign conversion.
* src/sfnt/ttcmap.c: Undef `TTCMAPCITEM'.
* src/sfnt/ttcmap.h: Define `TTCMAPCITEM' and include `ttcmapc.h' to
declare cmap classes.
* src/smooth/ftsmooth.c (ft_smooth_overlap_spans): Use cast.
* src/truetype/ttinterp.c (Ins_MIAP): Fix typo.
The following builds were still failing due to previous changes:
make multi
make multi CC="c++"
make CC="c++"
This patch fixes the issues, which were missing includes to get the
right macro definitions in multi-build mode.
Also, `FT_UNUSED' is actually used by third-party code, so move it
back to `public-macros.h' to avoid breaking it.
* include/freetype/config/public-macros.h (FT_EXPORT): Remove
special definition for C++.
(FT_UNUSED): Define here instead of...
* include/freetype/config/compiler-macros.h: ... here.
(FT_FUNCTION_DECLARATION): Remove special definition for C++.
(FT_LOCAL_ARRAY_DEF): Fix definition.
* src/cache/ftccback.h, src/lzw/ftzopen.h, src/gxvalid/gxvmort.h,
src/gxvalid/gxvmorx.h: Add `FT_BEGIN_HEADER' and `FT_END_HEADER'.
The following builds were failing due to previous changes:
make multi
make multi CC="c++"
* include/freetype/config/ftconfig.h: Remove `FT_END_HEADER'.
* include/freetype/config/ftheader.h (FT_BEGIN_HEADER,
FT_END_HEADER): Protect against redefinition.
* src/cache/ftccache.h, src/cache/ftcmru.h, src/pcf/pcfutil.h,
src/psaux/pserror.h, src/psaux/psft.h, src/psaux/psstack.h,
src/sfnt/woff2tags.h: Include `compiler-macros.h'.
* src/sfnt/woff2tags.c: Include `woff2tags.h'.
* src/psaux/t1decode.c (t1_decoder_parse_metrics): Copy
corresponding code from old engine's `t1_decoder_parse_charstrings'
function to handle `op_callsubr' and `op_return'.
* include/freetype/config/public-macros.h
(FT_PUBLIC_FUNCTION_ATTRIBUTE): New macro to tag functions as
public (and thus exportable).
(FT_EXPORT): Use it.
* include/freetype/config/compiler-macros.h
(FT_INTERNAL_FUNCTION_ATTRIBUTE): New macro to tag functions as
internal to the library (and thus hidden). Note that on ELF
systems, all internal functions have hidden visibility, which avoids
the need to enforce this when invoking the compiler (e.g., with an
option like `-fvisibility=hidden').
(FT_FUNCTION_DECLARATION, FT_FUNCTION_DEFINITION): New base macros
to deal with C and C++ linkage issues at the same time.
(FT_LOCAL, FT_LOCAL_DEF, FT_LOCAL_ARRAY, FT_LOCAL_ARRAY_DEF,
FT_BASE, FT_BASE_DEF, FT_EXPORT_VAR, FT_BASE_CALLBACK,
FT_BASE_CALLBACK_DEF): Redefined using new macros.
* builds/unix/ftconfig.h.in, builds/vms/ftconfig.h,
include/freetype/config/ftconfig.h: Split off macro definitions
required by the FreeType API headers to...
* include/freetype/config/public-macros.h: ...this new file.
* builds/unix/ftconfig.h.in, builds/vms/ftconfig.h,
include/freetype/config/ftconfig.h: Split off macro definitions used
by the library but not to be exposed to clients to...
* include/freetype/config/compiler-macros.h: ...this new file.
* include/freetype/internal/*.h, src/raster/ftraster.h: Include
`compiler-macros.h' where needed.
* builds/unix/ftconfig.h.in, builds/vms/ftconfig.h,
include/freetype/config/ftconfig.h: Split off mac-specific stuff
to...
* include/freetype/config/mac-support.h: ...this new file.
* CMakeLists.txt, builds/unix/configure.raw: Remove `/undef ->
#undef' string replacement; the affected code is no longer part of
the `ftconfig.h' template.
Refactor some of the `ftconfig.h' headers and template to move the
definition of the FreeType integer types (e.g., `FT_Int16') to a
common header file `freetype/config/integer-types.h'.
* builds/unix/ftconfig.h.in, builds/vms/ftconfig.h,
include/freetype/config/ftconfig.h: Split off integer type
definition stuff to...
* include/freetype/config/integer-types.h: ...this new file.
* builds/unix/ftconfig.h.in: Control the definition of
`FT_SIZEOF_INT' and `FT_SIZEOF_LONG' with macro
`FT_USE_AUTOCONF_SIZEOF_TYPES'. If these are not defined, auto
detection happens in `integer-types.h' as usual based on `INTXX_MAX'
values. Otherwise the autoconf-detected values are used.
* builds/unix/configure.raw (CPPFLAGS): Don't include path to
`config' directory. Instead, ...
(FT_CONFIG_STANDARD_LIBRARY_H): Use complete path.
Since we are no longer limited to 8.3 file names, it is simpler to
follow the usual conventions for template files.
* builds/unix/ftconfig.in: Renamed to...
* builds/unix/ftconfig.h.in: ...this.
* CMakeLists.txt, builds/unix/configure.raw: Updated.
This implements oversampling to metigate artifacts in pixels partially
covered by overlapping contours. It turns out that the 4x4
oversampling is sufficient but, at least, quadruples the rendering
time. The outline has to set FT_OUTLINE_OVERLAP to use this method.
* include/freetype/ftimage.h (FT_OUTLINE_OVERLAP): New flag.
* src/smooth/ftsmooth.c (ft_smooth_render): Check it to...
(ft_smooth_raster_overlap): ... inflate outline and set up direct
rendering for oversampling with...
(ft_smooth_overlap_spans): ... new span function that integrates them.
Instead of rendering 3 bitmaps side by side and reshuffling, we use
direct rendering to deliver the bitmaps on each third byte.
* src/smooth/ftsmooth.c (ft_smooth_raster_lcd)
[!FT_CONFIG_OPTION_SUBPIXEL_RENDERING]: Set up direct mode with...
(ft_smooth_lcd_spans): ... new span function.
This makes `ft_smooth_render' a lot smaller and easier to follow. It
also cleanly separates Harmony and ClearType-style LCD rendering
algorithms. Now I only wish to move LCD filtering and geometry from
FT_Library to FT_Renderer.
* src/smooth/ftsmooth.c (ft_smooth_render): Move LCD code from here...
(ft_smooth_raster_lcd, ft_smooth_raster_lcdv): ... to here.
[FT_CONFIG_OPTION_SUBPIXEL_RENDERING]: Reorganize #ifdef's.
* src/cff/cffobjs.c (cff_face_init): If a call to `cff_strcpy' fails
by returning NULL in `cff_face_init', `remove_style' is still
called. This means that the NULL pointer is dereferenced, causing a
crash.
* src/cff/cffobjs.c (cff_size_init): If a call to `funcs->create'
fails to allocate one of the `internal->subfont' variables, make
sure to free `internal->topfont' and any successfully allocated
subfonts.
* src/base/ftobjs.c (FT_New_Size): Avoid trying to free
`size->internal`, unless `size' has been allocated. This
mistake appeared in the fix for 58611.
* src/cff/cffobjs.c (cff_slot_done), src/cid/cidobjs.c
(cid_slot_done): If `ft_glyphslot_init' fails to allocate
`internal', then the class' `done_slot' callback (called by
`ft_glyphslot_done') must not dereference the pointer to `internal'.
* src/cff/cffload.c (cff_index_get_pointers): When new_bytes fails
to allocate, make sure to free the table. Do the same for both
allocations if there is a later error.
We no longer have to take care of the 8.3 file name limit; this
allows us (a) to introduce longer, meaningful file names, and (b) to
avoid macro names in `#include' lines altogether since some
compilers (most notably Visual C++) doesn't support this properly.
*/*: Replace
#include FOO_H
with
#include <freetype/foo.h>
or something similar. Also update the documentation.
This macro was updated by the unix configure script and the
`CMakeLists.txt' one, but is never used in the source tree (nor is
<stdint.h> included anywhere).
* CMakeLists.txt, builds/unix/ftconfig.in: Don't handle
`HAVE_STDINT_H'.
These have not been used in a very, very long time, so better remove
them. A corresponding patch will be submitted to the
`freetype2-demos' repository.
* src/Jamfile, src/*/Jamfile, Jamrules: Delete.
