* Runtime safety of non threadsafe devices and rework globals.Robin Watts2021-11-051-3/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some devices within Ghostscript (currently the x11 devices, uniprint and opvp/oprp) use non const static variables, so cannot be run in multiple instances at a time. We now maintain a core "count" of how many non-threadsafe devices are being used at any time. This value can be atomically adjusted by calls to gs_lib_ctx_nts_adjust. Non threadsafe devices now call gx_init_non_threadsafe_device either as or as part of their initialise_device proc. This function attempts to increment the non-threadsafe count and fails to init if there is already a non-threadsafe device running. On success, the device finalize method is modified so that it will decrement the count at the end. The known non-threadsafe devices are updated to call this. In order to have somewhere safe to store this count, we introduce a gs_globals structure, shared between instances. Setting this up without race conditions requires some new gp_ functions that can make use of platform specific threading primitives. We have these implemented for both windows and pthread based platforms. On other platforms, we drop back to the old unsafe mechanism for counting instances. While we do this work, we take the opportunity to push the gs_memory_t pointer used for non-threadsafe debug printing into thread local storage. This enables us to remove the remaining GS_THREADSAFE guarded compilation from the source code. What is left is broadly down to allowing debugging collection for statistics, and these are now controlled by specific COLLECT_STATS_XXX defines. It is assumed that anyone wanting to collect such stats is smart enough to not try to do so while using Ghostscript in a multi-instance environment.

* Extend gsapi interface with _with_handle variants for callbacks.Robin Watts2020-05-211-1/+1
| | | | | | This allows us to specify specific caller_handles for each callback type rather than using a default one specified at gs instance creation time. The old functions still work.

* Commit of gpdl-shared-device branch.Chris Liddell2018-12-071-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | This commit is a squashed version of the gpdl-shared-device branch. Essentially this is a first version of the new language switching mechanism. This does not build as part as "all", but rather as "experimental" or "gpdl".
* Update copyright notice with new head office address.Ken Sharp2018-01-301-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | Also update copyright dates. Remove gs_cmdl.ps as we no longer use it, and remove its entry from psfiles.htm. Remove xfonts.htm as this feature (xfont support) is long, long gone.
* Commit of build_consolidation branchChris Liddell2015-07-201-0/+45
Squashed into one commit (see branch for details of the evolution of the branch). This brings gpcl6 and gxps into the Ghostscript build system, and a shared set of graphics library object files for all the interpreters. Also, brings the same configuration options to the pcl and xps products as we have for Ghostscript.
