Information about the icon theme cache format used by GTK+

Back in May, Owen Taylor proposed [1] caching scheme for icon theme
|
|
information, to reduce the amount of stating and disk seeking at
|
|
application startup, and to reduce the memory overhead if each app
|
|
allocates all the icon theme data separately.
|
|
|
|
The proposal is to keep the information about the icons in the
|
|
directory tree below each icon theme directory in an mmap()able
|
|
cache file (There is basically one cache file per index.theme file).
|
|
|
|
The cache doesn't try to hold all information from the index.theme files
|
|
that you would need to do lookups; it turns out that with the icon theme
|
|
specification, this isn't even sensible - you can install a
|
|
|
|
$HOME/.local/share/icons/Bluecurve/index.theme
|
|
|
|
That overrides
|
|
|
|
/usr/share/icons/Bluecurve/index.theme
|
|
|
|
and chances how lookup happens for icons in /usr/share/icons/Bluecurve.
|
|
|
|
We would like to propose the cache file format as an appendix to the
|
|
icon theme specification. One thing which still needs to be investigated
|
|
is caching of the actual image data; the file format is has an
|
|
IMAGE_DATA_OFFSET member to allow adding that compatibly. An
|
|
implementation of the caching scheme for GTK+ can be found at [2]. The
|
|
cache generator which is included in the patch depends only on glib, and
|
|
it may be a good idea to move it to freedesktop.org as well.

Notes:
|
|
|
|
* All offsets are from in bytes from the beginning of the file
|
|
|
|
* Strings are zero-terminated
|
|
|
|
* Directories are stored as relative paths.
|
|
|
|
* All numbers are in network (big-endian) order. This is
|
|
necessary because the data will be stored in arch-independent
|
|
directories like /usr/share/icons or even in user's
|
|
home directories.
|
|
|
|
* The hash function is that used by g_str_hash()
|
|
|
|
unsigned int
|
|
icon_str_hash (gconstpointer key)
|
|
{
|
|
const char *p = key;
|
|
unsigned int h = *p;
|
|
|
|
if (h)
|
|
for (p += 1; *p != '\0'; p++)
|
|
h = (h << 5) - h + *p;
|
|
|
|
return h;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
This should not be implemented by calling g_str_hash(). For
|
|
optimal results, N_BUCKETS should be typically be prime.
|
|
|
|
* The same file format is used for icon themes (e.g.,
|
|
/usr/share/icons/Bluecurve) and for unthemed icon directories
|
|
(e.g., /usr/share/pixmaps)
|
|
|
|
For an unthemed directory, N_DIRECTORIES==0 and each
|
|
image has a DIRECTORY_INDEX field of 0xFFFF.
|
|
|
|
* Up-to-dateness of a cache file is determined simply:
|
|
|
|
If the mod-time on the directory where the cache file
|
|
lives is newer than the mod-time of the cache file,
|
|
the cache file is out of date.
|
|
|
|
* Cache files have to be written atomically - write to a
|
|
temporary name, then move over the old file - so that
|
|
clients that have the old cache file open and mmap'ed
|
|
won't get corrupt data.
