Comment (by dsizzle):
Thanks for the comments, korli and pulkomandy. There were seveal new
items to learn so I didn't expect to get them right the first time! :)
I've attached a new patch to address these items:
1- removed change to DefaultBuildprofiles
2- added code to only mirror what OpenSSl does; if fontconfig isn't
available it's not used at all
3- I had changed the public API initially because it wasn't actually used
by anything in the Haiku codebase, and I didn't suspect any 3rd-party dev
would've used it. unicode_block is basically just an arbitrary BeOS
bitfieldt that would be basically useless without something like
BFont::Blocks.In any case, I think my new solution is safer: I added an
overloading constructor to match the old API. I also reverted all of the
old BeOS unicode_block constants so they are identical to what they were
before. This should provide backwards compatibility if anyone actually
did use it.
*CharacterMap does "use" it but doesn't actually do anything with it.
Let me know i that is a good solution. Thanks!
