drastically reduce the heap usage of FreeType, especially in the case
of memory-mapped files. The idea is to avoid loading and decoding tables
in the heap, and instead access the raw data whenever possible (i.e.
when it doesn't compromise performance).
This had several impacts: first, opening vera.ttf uses a ridiculous amount
of memory (when the FT_Library footprint is accounted for), until you start
loading glyphs. Even then, you'll save at least 20 Kb compared to the non
optimized case. performance of various operations, including open/close
has also been dramatically improved.
More optimisations to come. The auto-hinter eats memory like crazy? This
must be stopped...
src/truetype/ttpload.c, src/truetype/ttpload.h, src/truetype/ttgload.c:
added the temporary configuration FT_OPTIMIZE_MEMORY to control various
optimizations used to reduce the heap footprint of memory-mapped TrueType
files.
* src/truetype/ttpload.c (tt_face_load_loca, tt_face_get_location,
tt_face_done_loca): when FT_OPTIMIZE_MEMORY is set, the locations table
is read directly from memory-mapped streams, instead of being decoded
into the heap.
* src/truetype/ttpload.c: only load the CVT and fpgm tables when the
bytecode interpreter is compiled in.
in the memory debugger. Also a new function FT_DumpMemory() was added.
It is only available in builds with FT_DEBUG_MEMORY defined, and you
must declare it in your own code to use it, i.e. with something
like:
extern void FT_DumpMemory( FT_Memory );
...
FT_DumpMemory( memory );
* include/freetype/config/ftoptions.h: disabling TrueType bytecode
interpreter !
* include/freetype/internal/ftmemory.h: adding FT_ARRAY_ZERO, as a
convenience macro.
