This way, we can register a meaningful 'user_data' pointer to at the
'pdfapp_t' structure and avoid the use of singletons for 'Framebuffer'
and 'pdfapp'.
This version of MuPDF will use Genode's framebuffer session and input
session to display a PDF file. At the current stage, the program is
merely a skeleton that compiles and starts. Neither the actual rendering
not the response to user input are implemented. To try it out, there
is a ready-to-use run script at 'libports/run/mupdf.run'.
As a preliminary step for working on issue #11, this patch revisits the
'Framebuffer::info' RPC call. Instead of using C-style out paramters,
the new 'mode()' RPC call returns the mode information as an object of
type 'Mode'. Consequently, mode-specific functions such as
'bytes_per_pixel' have been moved to the new 'Framebuffer::Mode' class.
This version of the library was hardwired to the former USB storage
driver supplied with DDE Linux. This driver is no more. The ffat.mk lib
is superseded by the libc_ffat plugin anyway. This plugin uses Genode's
block session interface instead of co-locating the block driver with the
application.
At the startup of python's termios module, a sequence of 'tcgetattr' and
'tcsetattr' calls is executed. If one of those calls fails, the
initialization gets canceled. 'tcgetattr' is implemented via ioctl
operations on stdout. To let those operations succeed, the default
implementation of ioctl ('Plugin::ioctl') cannot be used because it
returns -1. Adding a dummy ioctl to the libc_log back end alleviates
this problem.
MuPDF is a fast and versatile PDF rendering library with only a few
dependencies. It depends on openjpeg (JPEG2000 codec) and jbig2dec (b/w
image compression library). Therefore, this patch comprises the ports of
these libraries as well. All libraries compile well in the Genode build
system but are not tested yet.
Removed dummy implementation of '_ioctl'. This function is called
internally within the libc, i.e., by 'tcgetattr'. For running
libreadline in Noux, we need to hook into those ioctl operations via
the libc plugin interface.
