Added system-cairo back. Please, test.

Ken is the best tester.

Thanks

I am dubious that this fixes the same problem - they talk of a crash at startup, but my memory says that crashes happened at random. I was originally going to continue using system cairo except on the BLFS-7.8 release, but I think I stopped doing that in December because I was fed up with the crashes.

Will give it a go on my second test box, but not sure how long I will be able test it. Too much else going on (I want to do a fresh build with unrelated things, and at some point I will have to power down everything to try a new KVM switch).

Replying to ken@…:

Well, it has been up for 5 hours, and continually streaming youtube for almost the whole time (sometimes in a tab, at other times full screen), and I have had up to 15 tabs open, of which one was slashdot, on autorefresh : I suspect that one of the crashes I saw in the past, while watching youtube, was because of a slashdot update in the background.

So, this appears to do the job, I think I might put it on a gtk+-2 box (I was not going to bother with 44.0.1).

Thanks for testing. Here it is not crashing, either. If everything goes well, we can change the comments in mozconfig.

I was suspicious that fix would solve our problems, after the comments (c1-c5), that they had broken it:

And this is a regression from bug 1209812, which removed gfxImageFormat::A1, which causes gfxImageFormatToCairoFormat to no longer work because gfxImageFormat and _cairo_format no longer match up.

longer work because gfxImageFormat and _cairo_format no longer match up.

Comment 2 Nicholas Nethercote [:njn] 2015-11-05 13:37:50 PST

This one's my fault.

In part 1 of bug 1209812 I made the conversions between gfxImageFormat
and cairo_format_t more explicit -- they now use a macro instead of just
casts, which is good.

But the macros still assume that the values in gfxImageFormat line up
with the equivalent values in cairo_format_t. And then in part 2 I
removed gfxImageFormat::A1, which breaks the assumption.

Should be an easy fix -- just make the values line up again by making
them explicit. Patch coming up soon.

It works!

Bad news. Writing this after a crash. Will revert to not use system cairo :-(
