With this assumption, we can replace 'a % b' with 'a & (b - 1)'. In
terms of instructions, this means a fast 'and' instead of a slow
'div'.
Further optimize scrolling by:
* not double-initializing empty rows. Previously, grid_row_alloc()
called calloc(), which was then followed by a memset() when
scrolling. This is of course unnecessary.
* Don't loop the entire set of visible rows (this was done to ensure
all visible rows had been allocated, and to prefetch the cell
contents).
This isn't necessary; only newly pulled in rows can be NULL. For
now, don't prefetch at all.
Our surface may be on multiple outputs at the same time. In this case,
we use the largest scale factor, and let the compositor down scale on
the "other" output(s).
When rendering either the 'bar' or 'underline' cursor styles, only use
the configured "cursor color" if it has actually been configured.
If it hasn't, use the current foreground color.
The 'attributes' struct is now 8 bytes and naturally packed (used to
be 9 bytes, artificially packed).
'cell' struct is now 12 bytes, naturally packed (used to be 13 bytes,
artificially packed).
Furthermore, the glyph is stored as a wchar instead of a char*. This
makes it easier (faster) to do glyph lookup when rendering.
Fonts are now loaded with FT_LOAD_COLOR and we recognize and support
the FT_PIXEL_MODE_BGRA pixel mode.
This is mapped to a CAIRO_FORMAT_ARGB32 surface, that is blitted
as-is (instead of used as a mask like we do for gray and mono glyphs).
Furthermore, since many emojis are double-width, we add initial
support for double-width glyphs.
These are assumed to always be utf8. When PRINT:ing an utf8 character,
we check its width, and add empty "spacer" cells after the cell with
the multi-column glyph.
When rendering, we render the columns in each row backwards. This
ensures the spacer cells get cleared *before* we render the glyph (so
that we don't end up erasing part of the glyph).
Finally, emoji fonts are usually bitmap fonts with *large*
glyphs. These aren't automatically scaled down. I.e. even if we
request a glyph of 13 pixels, we might end up getting a 100px glyph.
To handle this, fontconfig must be configured to scale bitmap
fonts. When it is, we can look at the 'scalable' and 'pixelsizefixup'
properties, and use these to scale the rendered glyph.
A top-level font now has a list of fallback fonts. When a glyph cannot
be found, we try each fallback font in turn, until we either find one
that has the glyph, or until we've exhausted the list.
To make this actually work in practise (read: to make performance
acceptable), the cache is re-worked and is now populated on demand.
It also supports non-ASCII characters, by using the 4-byte unicode
character as index instead.
Since having an array that can be indexed by a 4-byte value isn't
really viable, we now have a simple hash table instead of an array.
This patch takes a bit from the foreground color value in a
cell (todo: split up foreground/background into bitfields with a
separate field for 'foreground/background' has been set), and only
re-renders cells that aren't marked as clean.
Note: we use a 'clean' bit rather than a 'dirty' bit to make it easy
to erase cells - we can (keep doing) do that by simply memsetting a
cell range to 0.
Initial POC that uses freetype to render the glyphs. The bitmap
produced by freetype contains the alpha value.
We use this bitmap in a mask surface and then draw the final glyph
with cairo by applying the source rgb using the OVER operator and the
freetype generated alpha mask as surface mask.
Note that we only support grayscale antialiasing (and no
antialiasing).
We are probably not setting the antialias options correctly either.
The main problem is knowing:
* The correct *cell* (to be able to render the *content* when erasing
the old cursor)
* Whether the cursor has moved (to determine whether to stop the
rendering loop or not)
* Where on the *screen* the cursor is/was (since the terminal may be
partly scrolled back)
This patch stores three static variables:
* last_cursor is used to compare against current cursor to see if the
cursor has moved or not
* last_cursor_on_screen is the actual screen coordinates the cursor
was rendered at (typically the same as last_cursor, but may be
offset by the view)
* last_cursor_cell is a pointer to the cell to render
