This removes paint threads, rust-layers dependency, and changes
optional webrender types to be required.
The use_webrender option has been removed, however I've left
the "-w" command line option in place so that wpt
runner can continue to pass that. Once it's removed from there
we can also remove the -w option.
Once this stage is complete, it should be fine to change the
display list building code to generate webrender display
lists directly and avoid the conversion step.
It's a pointless abstraction that propagates the obsolete chan terminology,
swaps the order in which the sender and receiver are returned, and hides a
source of panics.
WebRender is an experimental GPU accelerated rendering backend for Servo.
The WebRender backend can be specified by running Servo with the -w option (otherwise the default rendering backend will be used).
WebRender has many bugs, and missing features - but it is usable to browse most websites - please report any WebRender specific rendering bugs you encounter!
process parts.
This will make it easier to adapt to IPC.
The trickiest part here was to make script tasks spawn new layout tasks
directly instead of having the pipeline do it for them. The latter
approach will not work in multiprocess mode, because layout and script
must run in the same address space and the pipeline cannot inject tasks
into another process.
The basic idea is it's safe to output an image for reftest by testing:
- That the compositor doesn't have any animations active.
- That the compositor is not waiting on any outstanding paint messages to arrive.
- That the script tasks are "idle" and therefore won't cause reflow.
- This currently means page loaded, onload fired, reftest-wait not active, first reflow triggered.
- It could easily be expanded to handle pending timers etc.
- That the "epoch" that the layout tasks have last laid out after script went idle, is reflected by the compositor in all visible layers for that pipeline.
A rebuild after touching components/profile/mem.rs now takes 48 seconds (and
only rebuilds `profile` and `servo`) which is much lower than it used to be.
In comparison, a rebuild after touching components/profile_traits/mem.rs takes
294 seconds and rebuilds many more crates.
This change also removes some unnecessary crate dependencies in `net` and
`net_traits`.
* Simpler image cache API for clients to use.
* Significantly fewer threads.
* One thread for image cache task (multiplexes commands, decoder threads and async resource requests).
* 4 threads for decoder worker tasks.
* Removed ReflowEvent hacks in script and layout tasks.
* Image elements pass a Trusted<T> to image cache, which is used to dirty nodes via script task. Previous use of Untrusted addresses was unsafe.
* Image requests such as background-image on layout / paint threads trigger repaint only rather than full reflow.
* Add reflow batching for when multiple images load quickly.
* Reduces the number of paints loading wikipedia from ~95 to ~35.
* Reasonably simple to add proper prefetch support in a follow up PR.
* Async loaded images always construct Image fragments now, instead of generic.
* Image fragments support the image not being present.
* Simpler implementation of synchronous image loading for reftests.
* Removed image holder.
* image.onload support.
* image NaturalWidth and NaturalHeight support.
* Updated WPT expectations.
