Hey all,
Fresh branch up at dev/skylines-cached. This patch should only increase compilation time of a LilyPond score by 1-2 seconds for every minute.
You can thank inclement weather and late trains!
Regarding your comment in axis-group-interface.cc:802, if it gets called twice, there's a bug (usually caused because we've asked for the extent of a cross-staff grob before line-breaking has happened). I'm fine with trying to detect the bug and continue, but I think there should be a programming_error (at least for NDEBUG builds; see the way cyclic dependencies are reported in grob-property.cc).
The reason the function is called twice is because it'd be called through Axis_group_interface::calc_skylines and then again via Hara_kiri_group_spanner::calc_skylines, potentially before one of these finishes to execute. It doesn't seem like this could be related to a line breaking problem.
In my experience, it usually is. What happens is that calc_skylines asks for the y-extent of some cross-staff grob. In order for that grob to find its extent, it needs to know how far apart the staves are, which depends on the height of the axis-group, and so you have a cyclic dependency.
But even if line-breaking isn't the /reason/ for the cyclic dependency, your comment indicates that there /are/ cyclic dependencies, which are bugs and should therefore have programming errors.
Cheers,
Joe
