EMF export: pattern tiles stop at 250,000 in all - #3224
Conversation
One pattern fill tiles at most 250,000 times (PatternDef::offsets_covering), but Scene::fill writes each tile's own pattern fills again, down to the nesting limit of 8, with nothing bounding the total. A pattern whose tile art is filled with another pattern (or with itself) multiplies the tile count at every level: a small document makes EMF export (the engine's "emf" format, also reachable over MCP and the control channel) run out of memory or never finish, and the unsaved document is lost with it. The scene now keeps one tile budget for the whole walk. A fill whose tiles don't fit in what is left, and every pattern fill after it, is written as one colour like WMF writes patterns, with a warning. The test tiles squares filled with dots (over half a million fills before) and a pattern filled with itself, and checks both stay under the budget. Reported-by: BS.ehlas.cz

Warn when the shared tile budget is already exhausted.
When a valid pattern reaches fill with tiles_left == 0, the current guard skips the pattern branch. The fallback emits only FLAT_PATTERNS, so the descriptive TOO_MANY_TILES warning is missing. Handle zero capacity before calling instances_in; this keeps the fix limited to the warning gap.

Distinguish an oversized grid from an empty pattern.
offsets_covering returns an empty vector when the grid exceeds 250,000 positions. instances_in passes that result through, so tiles.len() is zero and the budget fallback does not run. The exporter can therefore emit no pattern fill instead of the required flat-color fallback and warning. Return an explicit overflow result and use the flat-fill fallback for that result.

Check the budget before materializing tile art.
instances_in creates the complete transformed tile set before Line 309 checks tiles.len(). When few tiles remain, an over-budget pattern can still allocate and transform up to the full expansion before the exporter falls back to a solid fill. Add a bounded enumeration path that stops before constructing tiles beyond the remaining budget.

Preserve unused tiles after an over-budget fill.
If a fill needs more tiles than tiles_left, Line 310 sets the budget to zero without writing those tiles. A later fill that needs fewer than the previously remaining tiles then becomes flat too. Keep the remaining budget when this fill falls back, so later fills can use it.

Read the full diff at dd7991c. EMF export keeps one tile budget (250,000) across nested pattern fills; a fill past it, or any fill once the budget is spent, falls back to the flat colour with a warning, and the flat path is shared in flat_fill. The new test covers the nested case. FreeBSD build + test green at this head.
4 participants
What and why
A single pattern fill tiles at most 250,000 times (
PatternDef::offsets_covering), butScene::fillwrites each tile's own nested pattern fills down to the nesting depth limit of 8 with no cumulative bound.When a pattern's tile artwork is filled with another pattern (or self-referencing), the tile count multiplies at each nesting level. An input file under 1 KB can trigger millions of tile expansions, causing EMF export (the engine's
emfformat, reachable via CLI, MCP, and the control channel) to exhaust system memory or hang indefinitely, losing unsaved user work.The scene now tracks a shared budget of 250,000 pattern tiles across the full traversal (
tiles_left). Any pattern fill requested after exhausting the budget is written as a solid fallback colour (matching WMF pattern behaviour) accompanied by a descriptive warning.How it was tested
