Previously, each mapping between a codepage byte and a Unicode
character was stored as a struct table_entry, which listed both the
byte and the character. This representation may be optimal for sparse
mappings, but codepages map almost every possible byte to a character,
so it is more efficient to just have an array that lists the Unicode
character corresponding to each byte from 0x80 to 0xFF. The bytes are
not stored but rather implied by the array index. The tcvn5712 and
viscii codepages have a total of four mappings that do not fit in the
arrays, so we still use struct table_entry for those.
This change also makes cp2u() operate in O(1) time and may speed up
other functions as well.
The "sed | while read" concoction in Unicode/gen-cp looks rather
unhealthy. It would probably be faster and more readable if rewritten
in Perl, but IMO that goes for the previous version as well, so I
suppose whoever wrote it had a reason not to use Perl here.

So the text section shrank by 7390 bytes.

So 34464 bytes were moved from the data section to the text section
and should be more likely to get shared between ELinks processes.

The configure script no longer recognizes "CONFIG_UTF_8=yes" lines
in custom features.conf files. They will have to be changed to
"CONFIG_UTF8=yes". This incompatibility was deemed acceptable
because no released version of ELinks supports CONFIG_UTF_8.
The --enable-utf-8 option was not renamed.
Suggested by Miciah on #elinks.
What was renamed:
add_utf_8 => add_utf8
cp2utf_8 => cp2utf8
encode_utf_8 => encode_utf8
get_translation_table_to_utf_8 => get_translation_table_to_utf8
goto invalid_utf_8_start_byte => goto invalid_utf8_start_byte
goto utf_8 => goto utf8
goto utf_8_select => goto utf8_select
terminal_interlink.utf_8 => terminal_interlink.utf8
utf_8_to_unicode => utf8_to_unicode
What was not renamed:
terminal._template_.utf_8_io option, TERM_OPT_UTF_8_IO
Compatibility with existing elinks.conf files would require an alias.
--enable-utf-8
Because the name of the charset is UTF-8, --enable-utf-8 looks better
than --enable-utf8.
CONFIG_UTF_8
Will be renamed in a later commit.
Unicode/utf_8.cp, table_utf_8, aliases_utf_8
Will be renamed in a later commit.
Previously, utf8_step_forward() and utf8_step_backward() left *count
unchanged if some parameter was invalid. Now, they properly store 0.
This flaw had no effect in practice, because all current callers pass
count=NULL, and invalid parameters shouldn't be used anyway.
In the previous version, invalid UTF-8 from a terminal caused
UCS_NO_CHAR (0xFFFFFFFD) to be stored in a term_event_key_T, resulting
in -3 which was then incidentally treated as an unassigned special key.
Now, invalid UTF-8 is instead mapped to UCS_REPLACEMENT_CHARACTER
and treated as a character. The fact that handle_interlink_event
calls term_send_ucs when it receives invalid UTF-8 makes it pretty
clear that this is how it was intended.
src/viewer/text/link.c (not changed in this commit) already referred
to UCS_REPLACEMENT_CHARACTER in a comment even though it was not
previously defined.
It cannot be restricted just to characters that have passed
check_kbd_label_key(), because hotkeys in strings received from
gettext must also be processed with it, and there we don't have
a struct term_event for check_kbd_label_key().
This requires compiling cp2u() in even without CONFIG_UTF_8.
I also added an is_kbd_character macro to make try_document_key
more resilient to changes in the definition of term_event_key_T.
to encode it using utf_8_to_unicode. If every unicode_val_T value
could be a result of that function then one must add out param
to the utf_8_to_unicode signaling 'true' UCS_NO_CHAR.
This changes the init target to be idempotent: most importantly it will now
never overwrite a Makefile if it exists. Additionally 'make init' will
generate the .vimrc files. Yay, no more stupid 'added fairies' commits! ;)
Involves prefixing with $(srcdir) to some of the build rule variables. For
the builddir we create Makefiles which simply include the srcdir Makefile.
Add list make rule to get list of Makefiles to generate (find will get it
wrong for builddirs nested in srcdir).
There are still a few minor issues like the file paths echoed during make
install ...
Convert remaining conditional file building to use
OBJS-$(CONFIG_FOO) += foo.o
one problem with reverse meaining (in util/) fixed with local 'hack'.
Cleanup and remove stuff which is now default targets.
It is a little ugly since I couldn't get $(wildcard) to expand *.o files
so it just checks if there are any *.c files and then link in the lib.o
based on that.
Ditch the building of an archive (.a) in favour of linking all objects in a
directory into a lib.o file. This makes it easy to link in subdirectories
and more importantly keeps the build logic in the local subdirectories.
Note: after updating you will have to rm **/*.a if you do not make clean
before updating.
- Use the mkinstalldirs in $(top_srcdir)/config
- Fix buggy scripting of srcdir which broke the local gettext install
- Add the local uninstall stuff so we have it around
