I do not understand *exactly* what to want to do.There are a lot of strings initialized to "F^K[KFYFY[K[ " and pointers to these strings in newstroke_font[] but the string "F^K[KFYFY[K[ " is stored only once in memory, and all pointers in newstroke_font[] point this string. (Usually, when compilers find many times the same constant string, only one instance is created, at least with the -O2 optimization)
So compressing strings themselves is not very useful.Of course, if you are thinking about compressing pointers themselves (that are pointing the same string, therefore identical) in newstroke_font, this is an other problem.
But is it very useful ? (compressing has also a cost). -- Jean-Pierre CHARRAS Maître de conférences Directeur d'études 2ieme année.
