Interface ScalerDebugger


  • public interface ScalerDebugger
    Receives events during the process of hinting and rasterizing glyphs. This interface is intended for development purposes only. During the development of Scalers, it is useful to have access to internal data structures. In a typical C/C++ environment, this is achieved with debugging code bracketed by #IFDEF statements. This technique is no available in Java; here is the pattern we follow instead: - this interface is meant to be called by the scalers, so that they can communicate interesting events and values to outside. - scalers have a Scaler.setDebugger(ScalerDebugger) method which can be called by the development environment to provide an implementation of this interface, and therefore receive events. This method typically stores the ScalerDebugger instance in a field, e.g. debugger. - inside a scaler, the typical pattern is at an instrumentation point is: if (ScalerDebugger.debugOn && debugger != null) { this.debugger.foo (...); } Note that all the code related to debugging is protected the static final boolean debugOn. If that constant is false (the normal value for checked-in code and therefore for shipped code), then much of the code related to debugging is eliminated by the compiler, and we are left with a small overhead (a trivial setDebugger method in the scalers, a field, and the class for this interface). During development, one can set this constant to true to get fully functional debugging.
