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.
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!
This should help fix some intermittent failures where this error message was
printed intertwined with the test results, causing wptrunner to not notice
the results.
The idea here is to land this before making images and canvas IPC-safe,
because this will shake out bugs relating to the shared memory. There
are currently test timeouts that are preventing multiprocess images and
canvas from landing, and I believe those are due to the inefficiency of
sending large amounts of data in the unoptimized builds we test with. By
moving to shared memory, this should drastically reduce the number of
copies and `serde` serialization.
Under the hood, this uses Mach OOL messages on Mac and temporary
memory-mapped files on Linux.
This commit introduces the `serde` dependency, which we will use to
serialize messages going between processes in multiprocess Servo.
This also adds a new debugging flag, `-Z print-display-list-json`,
allowing the output of display list serialization to be visualized.
This will be useful for our experiments with alternate rasterizers.
* 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.
