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.
I don't want to do such a gratuitous rename, but with all the other types
now having "Dom" as part of their name, and especially with "DomOnceCell",
I feel like the other cell type that we already have should also follow
the convention. That argument loses weight though when we realise there
is still DOMString and other things.
Mark dictionaries containing GC values as must_root, and wrap them in
RootedTraceableBox in automatically-generated APIs. To accommodate
union variants that are now flagged as unsafe, add RootedTraceableBox
to union variants that need to be rooted, rather than wrapping the
entire union value.
This is a patch that unifies a bit how Gecko and Stylo stylesheets work, in
order to be able to eventually move the stylesheets into the stylist, and be
able to incrementally update the invalidation map.
The alias is left there temporarilly and will be removed completely in a later commit where
also components/style/gecko/generated/structs_{debug|release}.rs are re-generated (they still
use the old alias).
This file has become quite bloated lately. This commit deletes that file in
favor of a set of submodules.
The only noticeable change apart from code move, is converting deep_clone_foo
methods into a trait.
It also unifies logic related to different style rules in the same place.
There's some missing work, specially related to font-face and counter-style, but
I think this is worth landing in the meantime.
In support of this goal, the layout thread collects information about
CSS images that are missing image data and hands it off to the script
thread after layout completes. The script thread stores a list of
nodes that will need to be reflowed after the associated network
request is complete. The script thread ensures that the nodes are
not GCed while a request is ongoing, which the layout thread is
incapable of guaranteeing.
The image cache's API has also been redesigned in support of this
work. No network requests are made by the new image cache, since it
does not possess the document-specific information necessary to
initiate them. Instead, there is now a single, synchronous
query operation that optionally reserves a slot when a cache
entry for a URL cannot be found. This reserved slot is then
the responsibility of the queryer to populate with the contents
of the network response for the URL once it is complete. Any
subsequent queries for the same URL will be informed that the
response is pending until that occurs.
The changes to layout also remove the synchronous image loading
code path, which means that reftests now test the same code
that non-test binaries execute. The decision to take a screenshot
now considers whether there are any outstanding image
requests for layout in order to avoid intermittent failures in
reftests that use CSS images.
