speculation code.
The old code tried to do the speculation as a single bottom-up pass
after intrinsic inline-size calculation, which was unable to handle
cases like this:
<div>
<div style="float: left">Foo</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="overflow: hidden">Bar</div>
</div>
No single bottom-up pass could possibly handle this case, because the
inline-size of the float flowing out of the "Foo" block could never make
it down to the "Bar" block, where it is needed for speculation.
On the pages I tried, this regresses layout performance by 1%-2%.
I first noticed this breaking some pages, like the Google SERPs, several
months ago.
bottom-up pass.
Right now, the only reason that overflow calculation works is that we
rely on script inducing extra reflows that are sent for display. This
was preventing #10021 from landing.
This change regresses layout performance by about 1% in my tests.
Fixes#7797 properly.
Instead of producing a tree of stacking contexts, display list
generation now produces a flat list of display items and a tree of
stacking contexts. This will eventually allow display list construction
to produce and modify WebRender vertex buffers directly, removing the
overhead of display list conversion. This change also moves
layerization of the display list to the paint thread, since it isn't
currently useful for WebRender.
To accomplish this, display list generation now takes three passes of
the flow tree:
1. Calculation of absolute positions.
2. Collection of a tree of stacking contexts.
3. Creation of a list of display items.
After collection of display items, they are sorted based upon the index
of their parent stacking contexts and their position in CSS 2.1
Appendeix E stacking order.
This is a big change, but it actually simplifies display list generation.
There is no good reason to have the two types.
This also means that the result of LayoutTask::profiler_metadata no longer
borrows the LayoutTask, which I'll need later.
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`.
