Hi,

The tests are working now. But I have a different problem:

I am working on a Ruby wrapper and it works fine functionally but whenever the Ruby garbage collector kicks in I got an BUS error. I had my wrapper code checked by someone who does that very ofter and he says it's ok, so the problem must be either in the way I call fribidi stuff or in fribidi. Attached the code. Maybe someone can check if I do it ok.
Any help would be very appreciated.

-------------
#include "ruby.h"
#include "fribidi/fribidi.h"
#include "fribidi/fribidi_types.h"

static VALUE t_convert(VALUE klass, VALUE obj)
{
    VALUE ret;
    FriBidiChar *visual_str;
    FriBidiChar *us;
    int len_unicode;
    int  len_utf8;
    char* result;
    FriBidiCharType base=FRIBIDI_TYPE_L;
    us= (FriBidiChar*) malloc( RSTRING(obj)->len*4+1);   /*hack we dont know how long the unicode piece will be*/
    rb_eval_string("puts 'Enter 1'");

    len_unicode=fribidi_utf8_to_unicode (RSTRING(obj)->ptr, RSTRING(obj)->len,
                   us);

    visual_str= (FriBidiChar*) malloc(len_unicode +1);
   
    rb_eval_string("puts 'Enter 2'");
   
    fribidi_log2vis(
             us,
             len_unicode,
             &base,

             visual_str,
             NULL,
             NULL,
             NULL);

        result=(char*) malloc(RSTRING(obj)->len+1);
       
        rb_eval_string("puts 'Enter 3'");
       
        len_utf8=fribidi_unicode_to_utf8(visual_str, len_unicode,result);
        rb_eval_string("puts 'Enter 4'");

   ret =  rb_str_new2(result);
   rb_eval_string("GC.start");   /* this sometimes causes the BUS error  also happens when GC is called from the system*/
    rb_eval_string("puts 'Enter 5'");

   free(result);
   free(visual_str);
   free(us);
   return ret;
}


VALUE cTest;

void Init_rbidi() {
  cTest = rb_define_class("RBidi", rb_cObject);
  rb_define_singleton_method(cTest, "convert", t_convert, 1);
}

No idea.  This is up to a Ruby hacker to figure out I guess.

So the calling is ok from your side? Or do you see an obvious problem?

Just for the records:

The problem was the malloc(). len should be multiplied by sizeof(FribidiChar) (as it is int32) insetad of just taking the len.

Still one small problem:

Is there a way to calculate the bytes of the result of utf8_to_unicode before actually doing it? I need to malloc the buffer before but dont know how big it should be...

Arabic ligatures

by Till Vollmer :: Rate this Message:

Reply to Author | View Threaded | Show Only this Message

Hello,

I need to visualize arabic language. Right now fribidi works perfectly for hebrew but with arabic letters I still have a problem.

The text consists of the real Unicode values and when they are printed they must somehow substituted with ligatures. I am not in arabic but there seems to be a letter for beginning, inside and end of a word.
Is here a library or does fribidi supoort the calculation of this?

Regards
Till

The fribidi2 module from CVS has code to do Arabic shaping to presentation forms, yes.

Is fribidi2 compatible with fribidi? what's the status of fribidi2? Is it a drop in replacement for fribidi?

Needs a bit more work before a release, but has been in that state for
more than two years, and people have been using it happily.

Behdad,

Sounds great. Unfortunately "bootstrap" is not working for me.
Do you have a version that is a real distribution with a working "configure"? That would be very great!

Thank you for all the help.

Is fribidi2 compatible with fribidi?

Supposed to be a drop-in replacement, yes.

what's the status of fribidi2?

Needs a bit more work before a release, but has been in that state for
more than two years, and people have been using it happily.

Is it a drop in replacement for fribidi?

Mostly, yes.

        Hello,

        The text consists of the real Unicode values and when they
        are printed they must somehow substituted with ligatures. I
        am not in arabic but there seems to be a letter for

        Is here a library or does fribidi supoort the calculation of
        this?

Just for the records:


The problem was the malloc(). len should be multiplied by
sizeof(FribidiChar) (as it is int32) insetad of just
taking the len.


Still one small problem:


Is there a way to calculate the bytes of the result of
utf8_to_unicode before actually doing it? I need to malloc
the buffer before but dont know how big it should be...

Hi, 


The tests are working now. But I have a different
problem: 


I am working on a Ruby wrapper and it works fine
functionally but
whenever the Ruby garbage collector kicks in I got
an BUS error. I had
my wrapper code checked by someone who does that
very ofter and he
says it's ok, so the problem must be either in the
way I call fribidi
stuff or in fribidi. Attached the code. Maybe
someone can check if I 
do it ok. Any help would be very appreciated. 


No idea.  This is up to a Ruby hacker to figure out I
guess.
