摘要： Systems and methods for managing data in complex containers permit atomic addition of a plurality of data items to the containers. Each data item can occupy contiguous memory locations, although the plurality of data items may be mutually discontiguous. The method comprises creating a package object, which comprises an externally accessible array of pointer and associated integers. Each pointer points to the start of a memory location holding a distinct data item and the associated integer represents the size of the data item referenced by the pointer. A function associated with an external interface of the container determines a quantity of memory to hold the plurality of data items and invokes an externally accessible write function in the package object to add the plurality of individual data items to the container at specified locations if there is adequate memory available to hold the plurality of data items.

摘要： Methods for managing a single memory pool comprising frame buffer memory and display list memory are presented. The single memory pool can comprise sub-pools including: a super-block pool comprising a plurality of super-block objects; a node pool comprising a plurality of node objects; and a block-pool comprising a plurality of blocks. The method may comprise: receiving a memory allocation request directed to at least one of the sub-pools; allocating an object local to the sub-pool identified in the memory request, if local sub-pool objects are available to satisfy the memory request; allocating an object from super-block pool, if the memory request is directed to the node-pool or block-pool and there are no available local objects in the respective sub-pools to satisfy the memory request; and applying at least one of a plurality of memory freeing strategies, if the sub-pools lack available free objects.

摘要： A method includes receiving a document encoded in a markup language, having a page with an image and text, and creating a first high-level graphics (HLG) object corresponding to the image. The first HLG object specifies a first z-index less than zero for the first HLG object. The method further includes generating a first entry in an input file including a pointer to the first HLG object, generating a second entry in the input file corresponding to the text, and generating an output file using a typesetting program and the input file. In response to the first z-index not being zero, the method includes parsing the output file to identify the page, creating the page ItemHandles List (IL), and adding a first ItemHandle including the pointer and corresponding to the first entry to the IL. The method further includes generating a display list using the output file and the IL.
