Repository: sonnet


Description
-------

This removes the performance bottlenecks related to creating
temporary Speller objects. And I wonder why one would want a
per-object cache anyways...

To see the bad performance, simply enable language detection in
Katepart. heaptrack showed then hundreds of thousands of allocations
in hunspell due to the repeated creation of speller plugins for
temporary Speller() objects, or even Speller objects in QList...

See https://paste.kde.org/pwx76ew6d for more information.

**BUT**: I wonder whether this is safe. When we create spellers for more than 
MAXLANGUAGES = 5 different languages, the cache will start to delete old items 
and then the speller objects have dangling pointers. I think using QCache is 
not going to work here anymore. I'll rewrite this patch accordingly, if I get 
an OK that this is how it should be.

Note: Sonnet itself is not advertised as threadsafe, and indeed 
https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/106242/ shows that this is not intended. 
Also, the Settings object in the Loader is also accessed from all Speller 
objects, and thus one must not use Speller objects from multiple threads 
anyways.

Testing
-------

ran katepart again - much quicker now, even with auto-language-detection 
enabled! unit test still work as well.


Thanks,

Milian Wolff
