Catch NULL results from CoreFoundation/CoreText creation functions and
return error.OOM rather than null derefs later. I verified that this is
possible but didn't verify the behavior when it happens, this is just
defensive based on the report here: #13671 because it costs us nothing
really.
This commit is very large, representing about a month of work with many
interdependent changes that don't separate cleanly in to atomic commits.
The main change here is unifying the renderer logic to a single generic
renderer, implemented on top of an abstraction layer over OpenGL/Metal.
I'll write a more complete summary of the changes in the description of
the PR.
Fixes#6727
The major change in this commit is to consolidate all the C imports in
a single decl in main.zig. This is required for Zig 0.14. Without it,
the problem in #6727 will happen. I was never able to minimize why this
happens in order to open a Zig bug.
Beyond this, I fixed the build.zig and build.zig.zon to work with Zig
0.14 so that we can test building `pkg/macos` in isolation. There are no
downstream impacting changes in the build.zig files.
Some CoreFoundation objects, such as those produced by CoreText, have
expensive callbacks that run when they are released. By offloading the
CFRelease calls to another thread, we can avoid important threads being
blocked by unexpectedly expensive callbacks.
This commit also changes the way that the coretext shaper's run iterator
builds its string. Rather than using a CFMutableString, an ArrayList of
unichars is built which is passed to CFStringCreateWithCharactersNoCopy,
which is a lot more efficient since it avoids all the CoreFoundation
overhead.
