terminfo: install to $datadir/foot/terminfo by default, append to TERMINFO_DIRS
As of 2021-07-31, ncurses ships its own version of foot’s terminfo.
Since:
* It doesn’t have the non-standard Sync,Tc,setrgbf,setrgbb
capabilities.
* It doesn’t set hs,fsl,dsl (statusbar).
* We want to be able to update our termminfo without waiting for an
ncurses release.
* Foot should be installable and usable on Linux systems that doesn’t
have the latest ncurses.
we still want to ship our own version. We can however not install it
to the default terminfo location (e.g. /usr/share/terminfo), since it
will collide with the ncurses provided files.
Our options are to either rename our terminfo to something else, or to
keep the name, but install our terminfo files somewhere else.
The first option would be the easy one. However, I think it makes
sense to use the same name. For example, a user that SSH’s into a
remote system that does *not* have our own version installed,
but *does* have the ncurses one, will gracefully fall back to that
one, which is better than manually having to set
e.g. TERM=xterm-256color.
Now, if we want to use the same name, we need to install it somewhere
else. But where? And how do we ensure our version is preferred over
the ncurses one?
I opted to $datadir/foot/terminfo (e.g. /usr/share/foot/terminfo) by
default. It makes it namespaced to foot (i.e. we’re not introducing a
new “standard” terminfo location), thus guaranteeing it wont collide
with ncurses.
To enable applications to find it, we export TERMINFO_DIRS. This is a
list of *additional* directories to search for terminfo files. If it’s
already defined, we *append* to it.
The nice thing with this is, if there’s no terminfo in that
location (e.g. when you SSH into a remote), the default terminfo
location is *also* searched. But only *after* having searched through
TERMINFO_DIRS.
In short: our version is preferred, but the ncurses one (or an older
version of our terminfo package!) will be used if ours cannot be
found.
To enable packagers full control over the new behavior, the existing
meson command line options have been modified, and a new option added:
-Dterminfo=disabled|enabled|auto: *build* and *install* the terminfo
files.
-Dcustom-terminfo-install-location=<path>: *where* the terminfo files
are expected to be found.
This *needs* to be set *even* if -Dterminfo=disabled. For example, if
the packaging script builds and packages the terminfo files separate
from the regular foot build. The path is *relative to $prefix*, and
defaults to $datadir/foot/terminfo.
This is the value that will be appended to TERMINFO_DIRS. Note that
you can set it to ‘no’, in which case foot will *not* set/modify
TERMINFO_DIRS. Only do this if you don’t intend to package foot’s
terminfo files at all (i.e. you plan on using the ncurses ones only).
-Ddefault-terminfo=foot. Allows overriding the default TERM
value. This should only be changed if the target platform doesn’t
support terminfo files.

composed: store compose chains in a binary search tree
The previous implementation stored compose chains in a dynamically
allocated array. Adding a chain was easy: resize the array and append
the new chain at the end. Looking up a compose chain given a compose
chain key/index was also easy: just index into the array.
However, searching for a pre-existing chain given a codepoint sequence
was very slow. Since the array wasn’t sorted, we typically had to scan
through the entire array, just to realize that there is no
pre-existing chain, and that we need to add a new one.
Since this happens for *each* codepoint in a grapheme cluster, things
quickly became really slow.
Things were ok:ish as long as the compose chain struct was small, as
that made it possible to hold all the chains in the cache. Once the
number of chains reached a certain point, or when we were forced to
bump maximum number of allowed codepoints in a chain, we started
thrashing the cache and things got much much worse.
So what can we do?
We can’t sort the array, because
a) that would invalidate all existing chain keys in the grid (and
iterating the entire scrollback and updating compose keys is *not* an
option).
b) inserting a chain becomes slow as we need to first find _where_ to
insert it, and then memmove() the rest of the array.
This patch uses a binary search tree to store the chains instead of a
simple array.
The tree is sorted on a “key”, which is the XOR of all codepoints,
truncated to the CELL_COMB_CHARS_HI-CELL_COMB_CHARS_LO range.
The grid now stores CELL_COMB_CHARS_LO+key, instead of
CELL_COMB_CHARS_LO+index.
Since the key is truncated, collisions may occur. This is handled by
incrementing the key by 1.
Lookup is of course slower than before, O(log n) instead of
O(1).
Insertion is slightly slower as well: technically it’s O(log n)
instead of O(1). However, we also need to take into account the
re-allocating the array will occasionally force a full copy of the
array when it cannot simply be growed.
But finding a pre-existing chain is now *much* faster: O(log n)
instead of O(n). In most cases, the first lookup will either
succeed (return a true match), or fail (return NULL). However, since
key collisions are possible, it may also return false matches. This
means we need to verify the contents of the chain before deciding to
use it instead of inserting a new chain. But remember that this
comparison was being done for each and every chain in the previous
implementation.
With lookups being much faster, and in particular, no longer requiring
us to check the chain contents for every singlec chain, we can now use
a dynamically allocated ‘chars’ array in the chain. This was
previously a hardcoded array of 10 chars.
Using a dynamic allocated array means looking in the array is slower,
since we now need two loads: one to load the pointer, and a second to
load _from_ the pointer.
As a result, the base size of a compose chain (i.e. an “empty” chain)
has now been reduced from 48 bytes to 32. A chain with two codepoints
is 40 bytes. This means we have up to 4 codepoints while still using
less, or the same amount, of memory as before.
Furthermore, the Unicode random test (i.e. write random “unicode”
chars) is now **faster** than current master (i.e. before text-shaping
support was added), **with** test-shaping enabled. With text-shaping
disabled, we’re _even_ faster.

terminfo: install to $datadir/foot/terminfo by default, append to TERMINFO_DIRS
As of 2021-07-31, ncurses ships its own version of foot’s terminfo.
Since:
* It doesn’t have the non-standard Sync,Tc,setrgbf,setrgbb
capabilities.
* It doesn’t set hs,fsl,dsl (statusbar).
* We want to be able to update our termminfo without waiting for an
ncurses release.
* Foot should be installable and usable on Linux systems that doesn’t
have the latest ncurses.
we still want to ship our own version. We can however not install it
to the default terminfo location (e.g. /usr/share/terminfo), since it
will collide with the ncurses provided files.
Our options are to either rename our terminfo to something else, or to
keep the name, but install our terminfo files somewhere else.
The first option would be the easy one. However, I think it makes
sense to use the same name. For example, a user that SSH’s into a
remote system that does *not* have our own version installed,
but *does* have the ncurses one, will gracefully fall back to that
one, which is better than manually having to set
e.g. TERM=xterm-256color.
Now, if we want to use the same name, we need to install it somewhere
else. But where? And how do we ensure our version is preferred over
the ncurses one?
I opted to $datadir/foot/terminfo (e.g. /usr/share/foot/terminfo) by
default. It makes it namespaced to foot (i.e. we’re not introducing a
new “standard” terminfo location), thus guaranteeing it wont collide
with ncurses.
To enable applications to find it, we export TERMINFO_DIRS. This is a
list of *additional* directories to search for terminfo files. If it’s
already defined, we *append* to it.
The nice thing with this is, if there’s no terminfo in that
location (e.g. when you SSH into a remote), the default terminfo
location is *also* searched. But only *after* having searched through
TERMINFO_DIRS.
In short: our version is preferred, but the ncurses one (or an older
version of our terminfo package!) will be used if ours cannot be
found.
To enable packagers full control over the new behavior, the existing
meson command line options have been modified, and a new option added:
-Dterminfo=disabled|enabled|auto: *build* and *install* the terminfo
files.
-Dcustom-terminfo-install-location=<path>: *where* the terminfo files
are expected to be found.
This *needs* to be set *even* if -Dterminfo=disabled. For example, if
the packaging script builds and packages the terminfo files separate
from the regular foot build. The path is *relative to $prefix*, and
defaults to $datadir/foot/terminfo.
This is the value that will be appended to TERMINFO_DIRS. Note that
you can set it to ‘no’, in which case foot will *not* set/modify
TERMINFO_DIRS. Only do this if you don’t intend to package foot’s
terminfo files at all (i.e. you plan on using the ncurses ones only).
-Ddefault-terminfo=foot. Allows overriding the default TERM
value. This should only be changed if the target platform doesn’t
support terminfo files.
Closes #671

Now, if we want to use the same name, we need to install it somewhere
else. But where? And how do we ensure our version is preferred over

I opted to $datadir/foot/terminfo (e.g. /usr/share/foot/terminfo) by
default. It makes it namespaced to foot (i.e. we’re not introducing a
new “standard” terminfo location), thus guaranteeing it wont collide
with ncurses.
To enable applications to find it, we export TERMINFO_DIRS. This is a
list of *additional* directories to search for terminfo files. If it’s
already defined, we *append* to it.
The nice thing with this is, if there’s no terminfo in that
location (e.g. when you SSH into a remote), the default terminfo
location is *also* searched. But only *after* having searched through
TERMINFO_DIRS.
In short: our version is preferred, but the ncurses one (or an older
version of our terminfo package!) will be used if ours cannot be
found.
To enable packagers full control over the new behavior, the existing
meson command line options have been modified, and a new option added:
-Dterminfo=disabled|enabled|auto: *build* and *install* the terminfo
files.
-Dcustom-terminfo-install-location=<path>: *where* the terminfo files
are expected to be found.
This *needs* to be set *even* if -Dterminfo=disabled. For example, if
the packaging script builds and packages the terminfo files separate
from the regular foot build. The path is *relative to $prefix*, and
defaults to $datadir/foot/terminfo.
This is the value that will be appended to TERMINFO_DIRS. Note that
you can set it to ‘no’, in which case foot will *not* set/modify
TERMINFO_DIRS. Only do this if you don’t intend to package foot’s
terminfo files at all (i.e. you plan on using the ncurses ones only).
-Ddefault-terminfo=foot. Allows overriding the default TERM
value. This should only be changed if the target platform doesn’t
support terminfo files.

terminfo: install to $datadir/foot/terminfo by default, append to TERMINFO_DIRS
As of 2021-07-31, ncurses ships its own version of foot’s terminfo.
Since:
* It doesn’t have the non-standard Sync,Tc,setrgbf,setrgbb
capabilities.
* It doesn’t set hs,fsl,dsl (statusbar).
* We want to be able to update our termminfo without waiting for an
ncurses release.
* Foot should be installable and usable on Linux systems that doesn’t
have the latest ncurses.
we still want to ship our own version. We can however not install it
to the default terminfo location (e.g. /usr/share/terminfo), since it
will collide with the ncurses provided files.
Our options are to either rename our terminfo to something else, or to
keep the name, but install our terminfo files somewhere else.
The first option would be the easy one. However, I think it makes
sense to use the same name. For example, a user that SSH’s into a
remote system that does *not* have our own version installed,
but *does* have the ncurses one, will gracefully fall back to that
one, which is better than manually having to set
e.g. TERM=xterm-256color.
