This safe method is the basic block to access element attributes from layout.
We reuse it in the other attr-related layout methods to remove a pretty big
source of rampant unsafe code between script and layout.
http://www.robohornet.org gives a score of 101.36 on master,
and 102.68 with this PR. The latter is slightly better,
but probably within noise level.
So it looks like this PR does not affect DOM performance.
This is expected since `Box::new` is defined as:
```rust
impl<T> Box<T> {
#[inline(always)]
pub fn new(x: T) -> Box<T> {
box x
}
}
```
With inlining, it should compile to the same as box syntax.
In a later PR, DomRoot<T> will become a type alias of Root<Dom<T>>,
where Root<T> will be able to handle all the things that need to be
rooted that have a stable traceable address that doesn't move for the
whole lifetime of the root. Stay tuned.
Updated string_cache, html5ever, xml5ever and selectors in Cargo.toml files and Cargo.lock.
Removed references to string_cache_plugin.
Import atom! and ns! from string_cache.
Replaced ns!("") by ns!().
Replaced ns!(XML) and co by ns!(xml) and co.
Replaced atom!(foo) by atom!("foo").
Replaced Atom::from_slice by Atom::from.
Replaced atom.as_slice() by &*atom.
Given codegen now generates the various TypeId enums, it seems pointless to
still have to write their respective values in every DOM struct inheriting from
Node just to set the initial IS_IN_DOC flag in Document and IN_ENABLED_STATE in
form controls.
This used to conflict with the util crate from the standard library, which
has long since been removed.
The import in layout has not been changed because of a conflict with the
util mod there.
Replace &JSRef with JSRef in the bulk of the generated code. This will
remove a level of indirection throughout all DOM code.
This patch doesn't change methods implemented on JSRef<T> to take `self`
rather than `&self`, and it leaves a few other uses of &JSRef, but those
changes can be made incrementally.
