The tag_id3.c library supports both the documented "TSO2" tag, and the
inofficial TXXX/ALBUMARTISTSORT.
The Vorbis/FLAC decoder automatically supports the new tag, without
further change.
When a song was in the database twice (which shouldn't happen), and
the first song had no tag items, MPD calledd tag_free(NULL). Add a
check to that source location, and an assertion to tag_free().
This updates the copyright header to all be the same, which is
pretty much an update of where to mail request for a copy of the GPL
and the years of the MPD project. This also puts all committers under
'The Music Player Project' umbrella. These entries should go
individually in the AUTHORS file, for consistancy.
There's no point in declaring num_items as a uint8_t, it doesn't save
any space, due to padding. This allows us to lift the articial "255
items" limitation.
On some platforms, g_free() must be used for memory allocated by
GLib. This patch intends to correct a lot of occurrences, but is
probably not complete.
Added all important id tags from the MusicBrainz wiki:
http://musicbrainz.org/doc/MusicBrainzTag
This should automatically enable its suport in the vorbis and flac
decoder plugins.
Added TAG_ITEM_ALBUM_ARTIST.
With this patch, MPD should be able to read the (inofficial)
"ALBUMARTIST" Vorbis comment. Implementations in other decoder
plugins will follow soon.
Don't use g_strescape(), because it escapes all non-ASCII characters.
Add a new function which clears all non-printable characters, not just
"newline".
Seeing the "mpd_" prefix _everywhere_ is mind-numbing as the
mind needs to retrain itself to skip over the first 4 tokens of
a type to get to its meaning. So avoid having extra characters
on my terminal to make it easier to follow code at 2:30 am in
the morning.
Please report any new issues you may come across on Free
toolchains. I realize how difficult it can be to build/maintain
cross-compiling toolchains and I have no intention of forcing
people to upgrade their toolchains to build mpd.
Tested with gcc 2.95.4 and and gcc 4.3.1 on x86-32.
With a large music database, the linear string collection in
tagTracker.c becomes very slow. We implemented that in a
quick'n'dirty fashion when we removed tree.c, and now we rewrite it
using the fast hashed string set.
The tag pool is a shared global resource that is infrequently
modified. However, it can occasionally be modified by several
threads, especially by the metadata_pipe for streaming metadata
(both reading/writing).
The bulk tag_item pool is NOT locked as currently only the
update thread uses it.
Trying to read or remember
"tag->numOfItems * sizeof(*tag->items)"
requires too much thinking and mental effort on my part.
Also, favor "sizeof(struct mpd_tag)" over "sizeof(*tag->items)"
because the former is easier to read and follow, even though
the latter is easier to modify if the items member changes
to a different type.
clearMpdTag could be called on a tag that was still in a
tag_begin_add transaction before tag_end_add is called. This
was causing free() to attempt to operate on bulk.items; which is
un-free()-able. Now instead we unmark the bulk.busy to avoid
committing the tags to the heap only to be immediately freed.
Additionally, we need to remember to call tag_end_add() when
a song is updated before we NULL song->tag to avoid tripping
an assertion the next time tag_begin_add() is called.
If many tag_items are added at once while the tag cache is being
loaded, manage these items in a static fixed list, instead of
reallocating the list with every newly created item. This reduces
heap fragmentation.
Massif results again:
mk before: total 12,837,632; useful 10,626,383; extra 2,211,249
mk now: total 12,736,720; useful 10,626,383; extra 2,110,337
The "useful" value is the same since this patch only changes the way
we allocate the same amount of memory, but heap fragmentation was
reduced by 5%.
Try to detect if the string needs Latin1-UTF8 conversion, or
whitespace cleanup. If not, we don't need to allocate temporary
memory, leading to decreased heap fragmentation.
At several places, we create temporary copies of non-null-terminated
strings, just to use them in functions like validUtf8String(). We can
save this temporary allocation and avoid heap fragmentation if we
add a length parameter instead of expecting a null-terminated string.
Since the inline function cannot modify its caller's variables (which
is a good thing for code readability), the new string pointer is the
return value. The resulting binary should be the same as with the
macro.
The new source tag_pool.c manages a pool of reference counted tag_item
objects. This is used to merge tag items of the same type and value,
saving lots of memory. Formerly, only the value itself was pooled,
wasting memory for all the pointers and tag_item structs.
The following results were measured with massif. Started MPD on
amd64, typed "mpc", no song being played. My music database contains
35k tagged songs. The results are what massif reports as "peak".
0.13.2: total 14,131,392; useful 11,408,972; extra 2,722,420
eric: total 18,370,696; useful 15,648,182; extra 2,722,514
mk f34f694: total 15,833,952; useful 13,111,470; extra 2,722,482
mk now: total 12,837,632; useful 10,626,383; extra 2,211,249
This patch set saves 20% memory, and does a good job in reducing heap
fragmentation.
