enum HarfBuzz::MemoryModeT

Overview

@HB_MEMORY_MODE_DUPLICATE HB_MEMORY_MODE_READONLY HB_MEMORY_MODE_WRITABLE HB_MEMORY_MODE_READONLY_MAY_MAKE_WRITABLE Data type holding the memory modes available to client programs.

Regarding these various memory-modes:

• In no case shall the HarfBuzz client modify memory that is passed to HarfBuzz in a blob. If there is any such possibility, HB_MEMORY_MODE_DUPLICATE should be used such that HarfBuzz makes a copy immediately,

• Use HB_MEMORY_MODE_READONLY otherwise, unless you really really really know what you are doing,

• HB_MEMORY_MODE_WRITABLE is appropriate if you really made a copy of data solely for the purpose of passing to HarfBuzz and doing that just once (no reuse!),

• If the font is mmap()ed, it's okay to use HB_MEMORY_READONLY_MAY_MAKE_WRITABLE, however, using that mode correctly is very tricky. Use HB_MEMORY_MODE_READONLY instead.
