luametatex compiled with g++
by Schultheis Erik 12 Dec '22

Hi, I'm not sure if this is the right list, if not please redirect me. So, I tried compiling luametatex using g++, and noticed some things that prevent it from also being considered valid C++ code. Two general problems are: 1) Initialization order. C++ wants initializers to be specified in the order in which they will actually initialize the object, i.e. in the order of the members. 2) Reserved names. Some variables are named `class` or `template`, which of course, breaks C++. But more interesting are the specific pieces of code that get rejected, because C++ is a bit more strict than C in some cases. 3) We get one complaint about comparing a pointer to an integer using <, which I believe is an actual bug in the code. 4) A second complaint is about dropping const in `tex_to_cstring`. I don't think this causes an actual error in the program, though. 5) Some of the `goto`s cause problems, because the jump skips over the initialization of variables in the target scope. Again, these variables are not used, so I don't think there is an actual error. The easy fix here is to just move the code from the `goto` target into its own function, which is probably better for readability anyway. 6) The last problem is that things break with g++ if the marco `infinity` is defined. I've attached patches for 3), 4), and 5), as I think that these benefit code quality in general. I can also send ones for 1) and 2), if there is interest. 6) seems to be a more general incompatibility, I'm not sure if there is a "fix" that doesn't require #if s. Kind regards, Erik

named destinations for lists
by Pablo Rodriguez 24 Oct '22

24 Oct '22

Hi Hans, unless cheat is removed, named destinations won’t work for lists. \setupinteraction[state=start, focus=standard, prefix=_] \starttext \completecontent \dorecurse{25} {\section{Section} a\footnote{}} \stoptext It think "cheat" is superfluous in strc-lst.lua, since "cheats[v]" already includes what was intended with it. I have tested this both with LMTX and MkIV. The variable "cheat" seems not to be used elsewhere. I attach a patch, if this might be handy. Just in case it may help, Pablo

fix for named destinations in URLs
by Pablo Rodriguez 16 Oct '22

16 Oct '22

Hi Hans, the attached patch replaces "#" with "^" as autoprefix for named destinations in lpdf.ano (both for MkXL and MkIV). This would allow urls such as https://pdf.ousia.tk/autoprefix.pdf#nameddest=^33 ("#" is a reserved char in urls). Also “PDF Open Parameters” reserves the usage of "#", "&", "=" and these special characters cannot be escaped (https://pdfobject.com/pdf/pdf_open_parameters_acro8.pdf#search=escape) I hope it helps, Pablo

fix for footnote hyperlink
by Pablo Rodriguez 15 Oct '22

15 Oct '22

Hi Hans, the patch fixes the regression for internal hyperlinks (footnotes and similar) with current latest (2022.10.14 10:16). This sample shows the issue: \setupinteraction[state=start, focus=standard] \starttext \completecontent \section{section} a\footnote{\contextversion} \stopsection \stoptext Without the fix, destinations are referred to an unexisting 7 0 object (instead of the page at 1 0 R). I think this fixes the regression in current latest. Many thanks for your help, Pablo
