<h1 id="cache-sub-system">Cache Sub-System<a class="headerlink" href="#cache-sub-system" title="Permanent link">&para;</a></h1>
<h2 id="synopsis">Synopsis<a class="headerlink" href="#synopsis" title="Permanent link">&para;</a></h2>
<p>This section describes the FreeType&nbsp;2 cache sub-system, which is used to limit the number of concurrently opened <code><a href="ft2-face_creation.html#ft_face">FT_Face</a></code> and <code><a href="ft2-sizing_and_scaling.html#ft_size">FT_Size</a></code> objects, as well as caching information like character maps and glyph images while limiting their maximum memory usage.</p>
<p>Note that all types and functions begin with the <code>FTC_</code> prefix rather than the usual <code>FT_</code> prefix in the rest of FreeType.</p>
<p>The cache is highly portable and, thus, doesn't know anything about the fonts installed on your system, or how to access them. Therefore, it requires the following.</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p><code><a href="ft2-cache_subsystem.html#ftc_faceid">FTC_FaceID</a></code>, an arbitrary non-zero value that uniquely identifies available or installed font faces, has to be provided to the cache by the client. Note that the cache only stores and compares these values and doesn't try to interpret them in any way, but they have to be persistent on the client side.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><code><a href="ft2-cache_subsystem.html#ftc_face_requester">FTC_Face_Requester</a></code>, a method to convert an <code><a href="ft2-cache_subsystem.html#ftc_faceid">FTC_FaceID</a></code> into a new <code><a href="ft2-face_creation.html#ft_face">FT_Face</a></code> object when necessary, has to be provided to the cache by the client. The <code><a href="ft2-face_creation.html#ft_face">FT_Face</a></code> object is completely managed by the cache, including its termination through <code><a href="ft2-face_creation.html#ft_done_face">FT_Done_Face</a></code>. To monitor termination of face objects, the finalizer callback in the <code>generic</code> field of the <code><a href="ft2-face_creation.html#ft_face">FT_Face</a></code> object can be used, which might also be used to store the <code><a href="ft2-cache_subsystem.html#ftc_faceid">FTC_FaceID</a></code> of the face.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Clients are free to map face IDs to anything useful. The most simple usage is, for example, to associate them to a <code>{pathname,face_index}</code> pair that is then used by <code><a href="ft2-cache_subsystem.html#ftc_face_requester">FTC_Face_Requester</a></code> to call <code><a href="ft2-face_creation.html#ft_new_face">FT_New_Face</a></code>. However, more complex schemes are also possible.</p>
<p>Note that for the cache to work correctly, the face ID values must be <strong>persistent</strong>, which means that the contents they point to should not change at runtime, or that their value should not become invalid. If this is unavoidable (e.g., when a font is uninstalled at runtime), you should call <code><a href="ft2-cache_subsystem.html#ftc_manager_removefaceid">FTC_Manager_RemoveFaceID</a></code> as soon as possible to let the cache get rid of any references to the old <code><a href="ft2-cache_subsystem.html#ftc_faceid">FTC_FaceID</a></code> it may keep internally. Failure to do so will lead to incorrect behaviour or even crashes in <code><a href="ft2-cache_subsystem.html#ftc_face_requester">FTC_Face_Requester</a></code>.</p>
<p>To use the cache, start with calling <code><a href="ft2-cache_subsystem.html#ftc_manager_new">FTC_Manager_New</a></code> to create a new <code><a href="ft2-cache_subsystem.html#ftc_manager">FTC_Manager</a></code> object, which models a single cache instance. You can then look up <code><a href="ft2-face_creation.html#ft_face">FT_Face</a></code> and <code><a href="ft2-sizing_and_scaling.html#ft_size">FT_Size</a></code> objects with <code><a href="ft2-cache_subsystem.html#ftc_manager_lookupface">FTC_Manager_LookupFace</a></code> and <code><a href="ft2-cache_subsystem.html#ftc_manager_lookupsize">FTC_Manager_LookupSize</a></code>, respectively, and use them in any FreeType work stream. You can also cache other FreeType objects as follows.</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>If you want to use the charmap caching, call <code><a href="ft2-cache_subsystem.html#ftc_cmapcache_new">FTC_CMapCache_New</a></code>, then later use <code><a href="ft2-cache_subsystem.html#ftc_cmapcache_lookup">FTC_CMapCache_Lookup</a></code> to perform the equivalent of <code><a href="ft2-character_mapping.html#ft_get_char_index">FT_Get_Char_Index</a></code>, only much faster.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>If you want to use the <code><a href="ft2-glyph_management.html#ft_glyph">FT_Glyph</a></code> caching, call <code><a href="ft2-cache_subsystem.html#ftc_imagecache_new">FTC_ImageCache_New</a></code>, then later use <code><a href="ft2-cache_subsystem.html#ftc_imagecache_lookup">FTC_ImageCache_Lookup</a></code> to retrieve the corresponding <code><a href="ft2-glyph_management.html#ft_glyph">FT_Glyph</a></code> objects from the cache.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>If you need lots of small bitmaps, it is much more memory-efficient to call <code><a href="ft2-cache_subsystem.html#ftc_sbitcache_new">FTC_SBitCache_New</a></code> followed by <code><a href="ft2-cache_subsystem.html#ftc_sbitcache_lookup">FTC_SBitCache_Lookup</a></code>. This returns <code><a href="ft2-cache_subsystem.html#ftc_sbitrec">FTC_SBitRec</a></code> structures, which are used to store small bitmaps directly. (A small bitmap is one whose metrics and dimensions all fit into 8-bit integers).</p>
</li>

<p>This object corresponds to one instance of the cache-subsystem. It is used to cache one or more <code><a href="ft2-face_creation.html#ft_face">FT_Face</a></code> objects, along with corresponding <code><a href="ft2-sizing_and_scaling.html#ft_size">FT_Size</a></code> objects.</p>
<p>The manager intentionally limits the total number of opened <code><a href="ft2-face_creation.html#ft_face">FT_Face</a></code> and <code><a href="ft2-sizing_and_scaling.html#ft_size">FT_Size</a></code> objects to control memory usage. See the <code>max_faces</code> and <code>max_sizes</code> parameters of <code><a href="ft2-cache_subsystem.html#ftc_manager_new">FTC_Manager_New</a></code>.</p>
<p>The manager is also used to cache &lsquo;nodes&rsquo; of various types while limiting their total memory usage.</p>
<p>All limitations are enforced by keeping lists of managed objects in most-recently-used order, and flushing old nodes to make room for new ones.</p>

<div class = "codehilite"><pre><code>  <span class="keyword">typedef</span> <a href="ft2-basic_types.html#ft_pointer">FT_Pointer</a>  <b>FTC_FaceID</b>;
</code></pre></div>

<p>An opaque pointer type that is used to identity face objects. The contents of such objects is application-dependent.</p>
<p>These pointers are typically used to point to a user-defined structure containing a font file path, and face index.</p>
<h4>note</h4>

<p>Never use <code>NULL</code> as a valid <code><a href="ft2-cache_subsystem.html#ftc_faceid">FTC_FaceID</a></code>.</p>
<p>Face IDs are passed by the client to the cache manager that calls, when needed, the <code><a href="ft2-cache_subsystem.html#ftc_face_requester">FTC_Face_Requester</a></code> to translate them into new <code><a href="ft2-face_creation.html#ft_face">FT_Face</a></code> objects.</p>
<p>If the content of a given face ID changes at runtime, or if the value becomes invalid (e.g., when uninstalling a font), you should immediately call <code><a href="ft2-cache_subsystem.html#ftc_manager_removefaceid">FTC_Manager_RemoveFaceID</a></code> before any other cache function.</p>
<p>Failure to do so will result in incorrect behaviour or even memory leaks and crashes.</p>

<p>The face requester should not perform funny things on the returned face object, like creating a new <code><a href="ft2-sizing_and_scaling.html#ft_size">FT_Size</a></code> for it, or setting a transformation through <code><a href="ft2-sizing_and_scaling.html#ft_set_transform">FT_Set_Transform</a></code>!</p>

<p>The returned <code><a href="ft2-face_creation.html#ft_face">FT_Face</a></code> object is always owned by the manager. You should never try to discard it yourself.</p>
<p>The <code><a href="ft2-face_creation.html#ft_face">FT_Face</a></code> object doesn't necessarily have a current size object (i.e., face-&gt;size can be&nbsp;0). If you need a specific &lsquo;font size&rsquo;, use <code><a href="ft2-cache_subsystem.html#ftc_manager_lookupsize">FTC_Manager_LookupSize</a></code> instead.</p>
<p>Never change the face's transformation matrix (i.e., never call the <code><a href="ft2-sizing_and_scaling.html#ft_set_transform">FT_Set_Transform</a></code> function) on a returned face! If you need to transform glyphs, do it yourself after glyph loading.</p>
<p>When you perform a lookup, out-of-memory errors are detected <em>within</em> the lookup and force incremental flushes of the cache until enough memory is released for the lookup to succeed.</p>

<h4>return</h4>

<p>FreeType error code. 0&nbsp;means success.</p>
<h4>note</h4>

<p>The returned glyph is owned and managed by the glyph image cache. Never try to transform or discard it manually! You can however create a copy with <code><a href="ft2-glyph_management.html#ft_glyph_copy">FT_Glyph_Copy</a></code> and modify the new one.</p>
<p>If <code>anode</code> is <em>not</em> <code>NULL</code>, it receives the address of the cache node containing the glyph image, after increasing its reference count. This ensures that the node (as well as the <code><a href="ft2-glyph_management.html#ft_glyph">FT_Glyph</a></code>) will always be kept in the cache until you call <code><a href="ft2-cache_subsystem.html#ftc_node_unref">FTC_Node_Unref</a></code> to &lsquo;release&rsquo; it.</p>
<p>If <code>anode</code> is <code>NULL</code>, the cache node is left unchanged, which means that the <code><a href="ft2-glyph_management.html#ft_glyph">FT_Glyph</a></code> could be flushed out of the cache on the next call to one of the caching sub-system APIs. Don't assume that it is persistent!</p>
<p>Calls to <code><a href="ft2-sizing_and_scaling.html#ft_set_char_size">FT_Set_Char_Size</a></code> and friends have no effect on cached glyphs; you should always use the FreeType cache API instead.</p>
