Many times, attribute mutation doesn't necessitate a full style
invalidation on the element. However, the conditions are pretty
elaborate, so this first version has a lot of false positives.
We only need to invalidate style when any of these things apply:
1. The change may affect the match state of a selector somewhere.
2. The change may affect presentational hints applied to the element.
For (1) in this first version, we have a fixed list of attribute names
that may affect selectors. We also collect all names referenced by
attribute selectors anywhere in the document.
For (2), we add a new Element::is_presentational_hint() virtual that
tells us whether a given attribute name is a presentational hint.
This drastically reduces style work on many websites. As an example,
https://cnn.com/ is once again browseable.
Before this change, StyleComputer would essentially take a DOM element,
find all the CSS rules that apply to it, and resolve the computed value
for each CSS property for that element.
This worked great, but it meant we had to do all the work of selector
matching and cascading every time.
To enable new optimizations, this change introduces a break in the
middle of this process where we've produced a "CascadedProperties".
This object contains the result of the cascade, before we've begun
turning cascaded values into computed values.
The cascaded properties are now stored with each element, which will
later allow us to do partial updates without re-running the full
StyleComputer machine. This will be particularly valuable for
re-implementing CSS inheritance, which is extremely heavy today.
Note that CSS animations and CSS transitions operate entirely on the
computed values, even though the cascade order would have you believe
they happen earlier. I'm not confident we have the right architecture
for this, but that's a separate issue.
Resulting in a massive rename across almost everywhere! Alongside the
namespace change, we now have the following names:
* JS::NonnullGCPtr -> GC::Ref
* JS::GCPtr -> GC::Ptr
* JS::HeapFunction -> GC::Function
* JS::CellImpl -> GC::Cell
* JS::Handle -> GC::Root
We currently have 2 virtual methods to inform DOM::Element subclasses
when an attribute has changed, one of which is spec-compliant. This
patch removes the non-compliant variant.
LibWeb keeps growing and the Web namespace is filling up fast.
Let's put DOM stuff into Web::DOM, just like we already started doing
with SVG stuff in Web::SVG.
