Upgrade to Spidermonkey 39 > Here it is. > > ~~There's two major things that are unfinished here:~~ > - ~~Dealing with the unroot_must_root lint. I'm not sure about the value of this lint with the new rooting API.~~ Done. > - ~~Updating the Cargo.locks to point to the new SM and SM binding.~~ Done. > > I also included my fixes for the rust update, but these will disappear in a rebase. A rust update is necessary to support calling `Drop` on `Heap<T>` correctly when `Heap<T>` is inside a `Rc<T>`. Otherwise `&self` points to the wrong location. > > Incremental GC is disabled here. I'm not sure how to deal with the incremental barriers so that's left for later. > > Generational GC works. SM doesn't work without it. > > The biggest change here is to the rooting API. `Root` was made movable, and `Temporary` and `JSRef` was removed. Movable `Root`s means there's no need for `Temporary`, and `JSRef`s aren't needed generally since it can be assumed that being able to obtain a reference to a dom object means it's already rooted. References have their lifetime bound to the Roots that provided them. DOM objects that haven't passed through `reflect_dom_object` don't need to be rooted, and DOM objects that have passed through `reflect_dom_object` can't be obtained without being rooted through `native_from_reflector_jsmanaged` or `JS::<T>::root()`. > > Support for `Heap<T>` ended up messier than I expected. It's split into two commits, but only because it's a bit difficult to fold them together. Supporting `Heap<T>` properly requires that that `Heap::<T>::set()` be called on something that won't move. I removed the Copy and Clone trait from `Heap<T>` so `Cell` can't hold `Heap<T>` - only `UnsafeCell` can hold it. > > `CallbackObject` is a bit tricky - I moved all callbacks into `Rc<T>` in order to make sure that the pointer inside to a `*mut JSObject` doesn't move. This is necessary for supporting `Heap<T>`. > > `RootedCollectionSet` is very general purpose now. Anything with `JSTraceable` can be rooted by `RootedCollectionSet`/`RootedTraceable`. Right now, `RootedTraceable` is only used to hold down dom objects before they're fully attached to their reflector. I had to make a custom mechanism to dispatch the trace call - couldn't figure out how to get trait objects working for this case. > > This has been tested with the following zeal settings: > > GC after every allocation > JS_GC_ZEAL=2,1 > > GC after every 100 allocations (important for catching use-after-free bugs) > JS_GC_ZEAL=2,100 > > Verify pre barriers > JS_GC_ZEAL=4,1 > > Verify post barriers > JS_GC_ZEAL=11,1 <!-- Reviewable:start --> [<img src="https://reviewable.io/review_button.png" height=40 alt="Review on Reviewable"/>](https://reviewable.io/reviews/servo/servo/6150) <!-- Reviewable:end --> |

The Servo Parallel Browser Project
Servo is a prototype web browser engine written in the Rust language. It is currently developed on 64bit OS X, 64bit Linux, Android, and Gonk (Firefox OS).
Servo welcomes contribution from everyone. See
CONTRIBUTING.md
for help getting started.
Prerequisites
On OS X (homebrew):
brew install automake pkg-config python cmake
pip install virtualenv
On OS X (MacPorts):
sudo port install python27 py27-virtualenv cmake
On Debian-based Linuxes:
sudo apt-get install curl freeglut3-dev \
libfreetype6-dev libgl1-mesa-dri libglib2.0-dev xorg-dev \
gperf g++ cmake python-virtualenv \
libssl-dev libbz2-dev libosmesa6-dev libxmu6 libxmu-dev
On Fedora:
sudo dnf install curl freeglut-devel libtool gcc-c++ libXi-devel \
freetype-devel mesa-libGL-devel glib2-devel libX11-devel libXrandr-devel gperf \
fontconfig-devel cabextract ttmkfdir python python-virtualenv expat-devel \
rpm-build openssl-devel cmake bzip2-devel libXcursor-devel libXmu-devel mesa-libOSMesa-devel
On Arch Linux:
sudo pacman -S --needed base-devel git python2 python2-virtualenv mesa cmake bzip2 libxmu
Cross-compilation for Android:
Pre-installed Android tools are needed. See wiki for details
Using Virtualbox:
If you're running servo on a guest machine, make sure 3D Acceleration is switched off (#5643)
The Rust compiler
Servo's build system automatically downloads a snapshot Rust compiler to build itself.
This is normally a specific revision of Rust upstream, but sometimes has a
backported patch or two.
If you'd like to know the snapshot revision of Rust which we use, see
./rust-snapshot-hash
.
Building
Servo is built with Cargo, the Rust package manager. We also use Mozilla's Mach tools to orchestrate the build and other tasks.
Normal build
To build Servo in development mode. This is useful for development, but the resulting binary is very slow.
git clone https://github.com/servo/servo
cd servo
./mach build --dev
./mach run tests/html/about-mozilla.html
For benchmarking, performance testing, or
real-world use, add the --release
flag to create an optimized build:
./mach build --release
./mach run --release tests/html/about-mozilla.html
Building for Android target
git clone https://github.com/servo/servo
cd servo
ANDROID_TOOLCHAIN=/path/to/toolchain ANDROID_NDK=/path/to/ndk PATH=$PATH:/path/to/toolchain/bin ./mach build --android
cd ports/android
ANDROID_SDK=/path/to/sdk make install
Rather than setting the ANDROID_*
environment variables every time, you can
also create a .servobuild
file and then edit it to contain the correct paths
to the Android SDK/NDK tools:
cp servobuild.example .servobuild
# edit .servobuild
Running
Use ./mach run [url]
to run Servo.
Commandline Arguments
-p INTERVAL
turns on the profiler and dumps info to the console everyINTERVAL
seconds-s SIZE
sets the tile size for painting; defaults to 512-z
disables all graphical output; useful for running JS / layout tests
Keyboard Shortcuts
Ctrl-L

Developing
There are lots of mach commands you can use. You can list them with ./mach --help
.
