FS#7704 - Talk support for plugins

2019-07-20T06:48:35+00:00

Original patch by Mario Lang
Heavily updated by Igor Poretsky
Further updated by myself

  This patch breaks binary API compatibility by placing the new
  functions where they make the most logical sense. IMO this is
  the better approach to take given the scope of the changes needed
  for talk support.

  Since binary API is changing, the patch also moves some other
  functions around to more logical locations.

  As well as voice support in plugins, this patch voice-enables several
  simple plugins.  There will be follow-up patches for many plugins that
  build on this one.

Create binary voice string archive on target.

2012-06-09T20:44:56+00:00

Extend genlang to create files holding the voice strings in a binary format
similar to lng. Create such files for all languages during a normal build, put
them in a zip file and add them to rockbox.zip so they are installed with a
main build.

Creating a voice file requires access to the voice strings, which are currently
not distributed with Rockbox. Therefore it is necessary to either have access
to the source code of the installed build or to use a build the genlang service
on rockbox.org can retrieve the strings for, making it impossible for normal
users to generate a voice file for custom builds, test builds and older builds
that aren't supported by the rockbox.org script. It also requires a network
connection when creating voice files with Rockbox Utility even if creating a
voice file by itself isn't network related.

Furthermore, putting the voice strings on the target is also a prerequisite for
eventually supporting a TTS on the player.

Strip voice strings path.

genlang: add VOICE_ prefix to unused voice-only strings.

2012-06-05T21:30:04+00:00

voicefont uses the id prefix VOICE_ to recognize voice-only strings. Unused ids
get a NOT_USED prefixed entry to keep order correct. However, since this
applies to voice-only entries as well voicefont doesn't recognize those as
voice entries and puts them at the end of the lang strings table. This messes
up the order in the created voice file, so add VOICE_ as prefix so voicefont
can identify them.

Fix FS#12272 - genlang changes broke some targets

2011-09-12T15:19:57+00:00

New genlang code forgot to allow for the wildcard being the full target name
with a * appended.

Make genlang faster by doing better regexes.

2011-09-08T14:37:50+00:00

With this change generating all languages takes only two-thirds the
time. It changes the acceptable syntax for target wildcards in language
files, however: instead of a comma-separated list of glob-style
wildcards it requires that it be a comma-separated list of prefix
matches, i.e. the * can only appear at the end of each wildcard, and ?
cannot be used. This does not require any changes to existing language
files as they are all already in this form.

Make genlang rewrite english.list if it exists but is older than english.lang

Only create english.list for binary output.

Added english id caching to speed up builds.

Revert r29494 as It is a) buggy b) doesn't seem to do any good in terms of speed.

genlang: Remove unused subs. Use precompiled regex in parsetarget(). Minor tweek by substituting s/\r//g with tr/\r//d.
