The stacking context tree doesn't affect layout at all, so let's move
it into the Painting/ directory. I'm not sure yet if it's worth going
for a fullly separate painting tree. So far I'm thinking a stacking
context tree with pointers into the layout tree might be enough.
"Paint" matches what we call this in the rest of the system. Let's not
confuse things by mixing paint/render/draw all the time. I'm guilty of
this in more places..
Also rename RenderingContext => PaintContext.
The shrink-to-fit width algorithm actually works a little bit different
in the absolute positioning context, so it can't share all of its code
with non-absolute positioning.
Also, inline-block elements were always inserting unnecessary line
breaks when splitting, which caused the preferred width to be smaller
than it should be. This patch fixes that as well, by just not breaking
after inline-block elements in LayoutMode::OnlyRequiredLineBreaks.
CSS defines a very specific paint order. This patch starts steering us
towards respecting that by introducing the PaintPhase enum with values:
- Background
- Border
- Foreground
- Overlay (internal overlays used by inspector)
Basically, to get the right visual result, we have to render the page
multiple times, going one phase at a time.
The more generic virtual variant is renamed to node_name() and now only
Element has tag_name(). This removes a huge amount of String ctor/dtor
churn in selector matching.
Hey, why not. We did all the hard work for display:inline-block already
and now we can just allow this.
This makes <a><h1>Hello friends!</h1></a> work :^)
To support z-ordering when painting, the layout tree now has a parallel
sparse tree of stacking contexts. The rules for which layout boxes
establish a stacking context are a bit complex, but the intent is to
encapsulate the decision making into establishes_stacking_context().
When we paint, we start from the ICB (LayoutDocument) who always has a
StackingContext and then paint the tree of StackingContexts where each
node has its children sorted by z-index.
This is pretty crude, but gets the basic job done. Note that this does
not yet support hit testing; hit testing is still done using a naive
treewalk from the root.
The only layout nodes that don't have their own style are LayoutText
(they inherit the style from their parent element since text cannot
be styled by CSS.)
However, it never makes sense for text nodes to have absolute position
so don't claim it.
Previously, layout recursively performed these steps (roughly):
1. Compute own width
2. Compute own position
3. Layout in-flow children
4. Compute own height
5. Layout absolutely positioned descendants
However, step (2) was pretty inconsistent. Some things computed their
own position, others had their parent do it for them, etc.
To get closer to CSS spec language, and make things easier in general,
this patch reorganizes the algorithm into:
1. Compute own width & height
2. Compute width & height of in-flow managed descendants
3. Move in-flow managed descendants to their final position
4. Layout absolutely positioned descendants
Block layout is now driven by the containing block, which will iterate
the descendants it's responsible for. There are a lot of inefficient
patterns in this logic right now, but they can easily be replaced with
better iteration functions once we settle on a long-term architecture.
Since the ICB (LayoutDocument) is at (0, 0), it doesn't rely on a
containing block to move it into place.
This code is still evolving along with my understanding of CSS layout,
so it's likely that we'll reorganize this again sooner or later. :^)
This patch implements a simple <object> element with fallback content.
If the URL from the data attribute fails to load (including 404),
we render the DOM tree inside the <object> as fallback content.
This works by generating a different layout tree for the <object>
depending on the state and success of the data load. Since we cannot
currently do incremental layout tree updates, we have to force a
complete layout tree rebuild when the resource load finishes/fails.
Since more DOM nodes are going to want to load images (<object>, ...)
this patch splits out the image loading logic into an ImageLoader class
and then HTMLImageElement simply has an ImageLoader.
LayoutImage is then given a const ImageLoader& at construction and can
then provide layout and rendering for many kinds of DOM nodes.
Clients now receive HTTP status codes like 200, 404, etc.
Note that a 404 with content is still considered a "successful"
download from ProtocolServer's perspective. It's up to the client
to interpret the status code.
I'm not sure if this is the best API, but it'll work for now.
