`LOCAL_CONTEXT_KEY` is currently a `Cell<*mut LocalLayoutContext>`. The use
of the raw pointer means that the `LocalLayoutContext` is not dropped when
the thread dies; this leaks FreeType instances and probably other
things. There are also some unsafe getter functions in `LayoutContext`
(`font_context`, `applicable_declarations_cache` and
`style_sharing_candidate_cache`) that @eddyb says involve undefined
behaviour.
This changeset changes `LOCAL_CONTEXT_KEY` to
`RefCell<Option<Rc<LocalLayoutContext>>>`. This fixes the leak and also
results in safe getters.
(Fixes #6282.)
§ 12.3-12.5.
Only simple alphabetic and numeric counter styles are supported. (This
is most of them though.)
Although this PR adds a sequential pass to layout, I verified that on
pages that contain a reasonable number of ordered lists (Reddit
`/r/rust`), the time spent in generated content resolution is dwarfed by
the time spent in the parallelizable parts of layout. So I don't expect
this to negatively affect our parallelism expect perhaps in pathological
cases.
