Bug 162671 – Use HarfBuzz ot-math API to parse the OpenType MATH table

• Component: Text
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Frédéric Wang (:fredw)]

The next version of HarfBuzz will provide a new API to parse the OpenType MATH table:

https://github.com/behdad/harfbuzz/blob/master/src/hb-ot-math.h 

When USE_HARFBUZZ is enabled, we should use that API instead of our own parsing code in Source/WebCore/platform/graphics/opentype/OpenTypeMathData.cpp

I think the USE(HARFBUZZ) check is misplaced, it looks like the code won’t compile with ENABLE(OPENTYPE_MATH) and !USE(HARFBUZZ).

This seems to be a mere stylistic change (no idea what is the policy here about such changes, though).

Yes, that's right.

It's a mistake and should not have been done. (webkit-check-style will complain). Thanks for catching this.

This is actually not needed. We only need to divide by 65536 to convert to float.

WTF_ARRAY_LENGTH should be used here.

Ditto.

Is it really wise to rely on a development version?

This patch is for testing purpose only. See bug 162719, on which this bug depends.

The new code is only going to be used on WebKitGTK+ (I opened bug 164177 for EFL). I am currently not able to build it, but last time I tried I also got one MathML test that required a small rebaseline.

You'll need to add compile-time version checks to support building with Harfbuzz 0.9.35, per our new dependencies policy.

> Source/WebCore/platform/graphics/opentype/OpenTypeMathData.h:137
> +    hb_font_t* m_mathFont;

You should add a smart pointer. We should avoid holding or transferring ownership with raw pointers.
