Store

typedef fz_storable

typedef struct fz_storable fz_storable

Resource store

MuPDF stores decoded “objects” into a store for potential reuse. If the size of the store gets too big, objects stored within it can be evicted and freed to recover space. When MuPDF comes to decode such an object, it will check to see if a version of this object is already in the store - if it is, it will simply reuse it. If not, it will decode it and place it into the store.

All objects that can be placed into the store are derived from the fz_storable type (i.e. this should be the first component of the objects structure). This allows for consistent (thread safe) reference counting, and includes a function that will be called to free the object as soon as the reference count reaches zero.

Most objects offer fz_keep_XXXX/fz_drop_XXXX functions derived from fz_keep_storable/fz_drop_storable. Creation of such objects includes a call to FZ_INIT_STORABLE to set up the fz_storable header.

typedef fz_store_drop_fn

typedef void (fz_store_drop_fn)(fz_context *, fz_storable *)

Function type for a function to drop a storable object.

Objects within the store are identified by type by comparing their drop_fn pointers.

typedef fz_store_droppable_fn

typedef int (fz_store_droppable_fn)(fz_context *, fz_storable *)

Function type for a function to check whether a storable object can be dropped at the moment.

Return 0 for ‘cannot be dropped’, 1 otherwise.

struct fz_storable

struct fz_storable {
        int refs;
        fz_store_drop_fn *drop;
        fz_store_droppable_fn *droppable;
}

Any storable object should include an fz_storable structure at the start (by convention at least) of their structure. (Unless it starts with an fz_key_storable, see below).

struct fz_key_storable

struct fz_key_storable
{
        fz_storable storable;
        short store_key_refs;
}

Any storable object that can appear in the key of another storable object should include an fz_key_storable structure at the start (by convention at least) of their structure.

The store can be seen as a dictionary that maps keys to fz_storable values. In order to allow keys of different types to be stored, we have a structure full of functions for each key ‘type’; this fz_store_type pointer is stored with each key, and tells the store how to perform certain operations (like taking/ dropping a reference, comparing two keys, outputting details for debugging etc).

The store uses a hash table internally for speed where possible. In order for this to work, we need a mechanism for turning a generic ‘key’ into ‘a hashable string’. For this purpose the type structure contains a make_hash_key function pointer that maps from a void * to a fz_store_hash structure. If make_hash_key function returns 0, then the key is determined not to be hashable, and the value is not stored in the hash table.

Some objects can be used both as values within the store, and as a component of keys within the store. We refer to these objects as “key storable” objects. In this case, we need to take additional care to ensure that we do not end up keeping an item within the store, purely because its value is referred to by another key in the store.

An example of this are fz_images in PDF files. Each fz_image is placed into the store to enable it to be easily reused. When the image is rendered, a pixmap is generated from the image, and the pixmap is placed into the store so it can be reused on subsequent renders. The image forms part of the key for the pixmap.

When we close the pdf document (and any associated pages/display lists etc), we drop the images from the store. This may leave us in the position of the images having non-zero reference counts purely because they are used as part of the keys for the pixmaps.

We therefore use special reference counting functions to keep track of these “key storable” items, and hence store the number of references to these items that are used in keys.

When the number of references to an object == the number of references to an object from keys in the store, we know that we can remove all the items which have that object as part of the key. This is done by running a pass over the store, ‘reaping’ those items.

Reap passes are slower than we would like as they touch every item in the store. We therefore provide a way to ‘batch’ such reap passes together, using fz_defer_reap_start/ fz_defer_reap_end to bracket a region in which many may be triggered.

struct fz_store_type

struct fz_store_type
{
        const char *name;
        int (*make_hash_key)(fz_context *ctx, fz_store_hash *hash, void *key);
        void *(*keep_key)(fz_context *ctx, void *key);
        void (*drop_key)(fz_context *ctx, void *key);
        int (*cmp_key)(fz_context *ctx, void *a, void *b);
        void (*format_key)(fz_context *ctx, char *buf, size_t size, void *key);
        int (*needs_reap)(fz_context *ctx, void *key);
}

Every type of object to be placed into the store defines an fz_store_type. This contains the pointers to functions to make hashes, manipulate keys, and check for needing reaping.

function fz_new_store_context

void
fz_new_store_context (
        fz_context *ctx,
        size_t max
)

Create a new store inside the context

max:
The maximum size (in bytes) that the store is allowed to grow to. FZ_STORE_UNLIMITED means no limit.

function fz_keep_store_context

fz_store *
fz_keep_store_context (
        fz_context *ctx
)

Increment the reference count for the store context. Returns the same pointer.

Never throws exceptions.

function fz_drop_store_context

void
fz_drop_store_context (
        fz_context *ctx
)

function fz_store_item

void *
fz_store_item (
        fz_context *ctx,
        void *key,
        void *val,
        size_t itemsize,
        const fz_store_type *type
)

Add an item to the store.

Add an item into the store, returning NULL for success. If an item with the same key is found in the store, then our item will not be inserted, and the function will return a pointer to that value instead. This function takes its own reference to val, as required (i.e. the caller maintains ownership of its own reference).

key:
The key used to index the item.
val:
The value to store.
itemsize:
The size in bytes of the value (as counted towards the store size).
type:
Functions used to manipulate the key.

function fz_find_item

void *
fz_find_item (
        fz_context *ctx,
        fz_store_drop_fn *drop,
        void *key,
        const fz_store_type *type
)

Find an item within the store.

drop:
The function used to free the value (to ensure we get a value of the correct type).
key:
The key used to index the item.
type:
Functions used to manipulate the key.

Returns NULL for not found, otherwise returns a pointer to the value indexed by key to which a reference has been taken.

function fz_remove_item

void
fz_remove_item (
        fz_context *ctx,
        fz_store_drop_fn *drop,
        void *key,
        const fz_store_type *type
)

Remove an item from the store.

If an item indexed by the given key exists in the store, remove it.

drop:
The function used to free the value (to ensure we get a value of the correct type).
key:
The key used to find the item to remove.
type:
Functions used to manipulate the key.

function fz_empty_store

void
fz_empty_store (
        fz_context *ctx
)

Evict every item from the store.

function fz_store_scavenge

int
fz_store_scavenge (
        fz_context *ctx,
        size_t size,
        int *phase
)

Internal function used as part of the scavenging allocator; when we fail to allocate memory, before returning a failure to the caller, we try to scavenge space within the store by evicting at least ‘size’ bytes. The allocator then retries.

size:
The number of bytes we are trying to have free.
phase:
What phase of the scavenge we are in. Updated on exit.

Returns non zero if we managed to free any memory.

function fz_store_scavenge_external

int
fz_store_scavenge_external (
        fz_context *ctx,
        size_t size,
        int *phase
)

External function for callers to use to scavenge while trying allocations.

size:
The number of bytes we are trying to have free.
phase:
What phase of the scavenge we are in. Updated on exit.

Returns non zero if we managed to free any memory.

function fz_shrink_store

int
fz_shrink_store (
        fz_context *ctx,
        unsigned int percent
)

Evict items from the store until the total size of the objects in the store is reduced to a given percentage of its current size.

percent:
%age of current size to reduce the store to.

Returns non zero if we managed to free enough memory, zero otherwise.

typedef fz_store_filter_fn

typedef int (fz_store_filter_fn)(fz_context *ctx, void *arg, void *key)

Callback function called by fz_filter_store on every item within the store.

Return 1 to drop the item from the store, 0 to retain.

function fz_filter_store

void
fz_filter_store (
        fz_context *ctx,
        fz_store_filter_fn *fn,
        void *arg,
        const fz_store_type *type
)

Filter every element in the store with a matching type with the given function.

If the function returns 1 for an element, drop the element.

function fz_drop_drawn_tiles_for_document

void
fz_drop_drawn_tiles_for_document (
        fz_context *ctx,
        fz_document *doc
)

Filter the store and throw away any stored tiles drawn for a given document.

function fz_debug_store

void
fz_debug_store (
        fz_context *ctx,
        fz_output *out
)

Output debugging information for the current state of the store to the given output channel.

function fz_defer_reap_start

void
fz_defer_reap_start (
        fz_context *ctx
)

Increment the defer reap count.

No reap operations will take place (except for those triggered by an immediate failed malloc) until the defer reap count returns to 0.

Call this at the start of a process during which you potentially might drop many reapable objects.

It is vital that every fz_defer_reap_start is matched by a fz_defer_reap_end call.

function fz_defer_reap_end

void
fz_defer_reap_end (
        fz_context *ctx
)

Decrement the defer reap count.

If the defer reap count returns to 0, and the store has reapable objects in, a reap pass will begin.

Call this at the end of a process during which you potentially might drop many reapable objects.

It is vital that every fz_defer_reap_start is matched by a fz_defer_reap_end call.

function fz_log_dump_store

void
fz_log_dump_store (
        fz_context *ctx,
        const char *fmt,
        ...
)
