This change allows us to overlap rasterization and rendering work across
threads: while the rasterization thread processes frame N, the main
thread can simultaneously work on producing the display list for frame
N+1.
The display list is an immutable data structure, so once it's created,
rasterization can be moved to a separate thread. This allows more room
for performing other tasks between processing HTML rendering tasks.
This change makes PaintingSurface, ImmutableBitmap, and GlyphRun atomic
ref-counted, as they are shared between the main and rendering threads
by being included in the display list.
When we build internal pages (e.g. about:settings), there is currently
quite a lot of boilerplate needed to communicate between the browser and
the page. This includes creating IDL for the page and the IPC for every
message sent between the processes.
These internal pages are also special in that they have privileged
access to and control over the browser process.
The framework introduced here serves to ease the setup of new internal
pages and to reduce the access that WebContent processes have to the
browser process. WebUI pages can send requests to the browser process
via a `ladybird.sendMessage` API. Responses from the browser are passed
through a WebUIMessage event. So, for example, an internal page may:
ladybird.sendMessage("getDataFor", { id: 123 });
document.addEventListener("WebUIMessage", event => {
if (event.name === "gotData") {
console.assert(event.data.id === 123);
}
});
To handle these messages, we set up a new IPC connection between the
browser and WebContent processes. This connection is torn down when
the user navigates away from the internal page.
This adds a basic settings page to manage persistent Ladybird settings.
As a first pass, this exposes settings for the new tab page URL and the
default search engine.
The way the search engine option works is that once search is enabled,
the user must choose their default search engine; we do not apply any
default automatically. Search remains disabled until this is done.
There are a couple of improvements that we should make here:
* Settings changes are not broadcasted to all open about:settings pages.
So if two instances are open, and the user changes the search engine
in one instance, the other instance will have a stale UI.
* Adding an IPC per setting is going to get annoying. It would be nice
if we can come up with a smaller set of IPCs to send only the relevant
changed settings.
The intent is that this will replace the separate Task Manager window.
This will allow us to more easily add features such as actual process
management, better rendering of the process table, etc. Included in this
page is the ability to sort table rows.
This also lays the ground work for more internal `about` pages, such as
about:config.
Site isolation is a common technique to reduce the chance that malicious
sites can access data from other sites. When the user navigates, we now
check if the target site is the same as the current site. If not, we
instruct the UI to perform the navigation in a new WebContent process.
The phrase "site" here is defined as the public suffix of the URL plus
one level. This means that navigating from "www.example.com" to
"sub.example.com" remains in the same process.
There's plenty of room for optimization around this. For example, we can
create a spare WebContent process ahead of time to hot-swap the target
site. We can also create a policy to keep the navigated-from process
around, in case the user quickly navigates back.
This removes a couple of places where we were constructing strings or
vectors just to transfer data over IPC. And passes some values by const&
to remove clangd noise.
The "on_received_console_message" and "on_received_console_messages"
were indistinguishable in purpose based on their name. This renames them
to:
on_console_message_available - WebContent has output a console message
and it is available for the client to retrieve.
on_received_styled_console_messages - WebContent has replied to a
request for the available console messages.
The "styled" qualifier is used here to indicate that the messages have
been styled with CSS for display in a WebView. This is to prepare for
an upcoming patch where DevToolsConsoleClient will not stylize the
output; DevTools will want the raw JS values.
The `cursor` property accepts a list of possible cursors, which behave
as a fallback: We use whichever cursor is the first available one. This
is a little complicated because initially, any remote images have not
loaded, so we need to use the fallback standard cursor, and then switch
to another when it loads.
So, ComputedValues stores a Vector of cursors, and then in EventHandler
we scan down that list until we find a cursor that's ready for use.
The spec defines cursors as being `<url>`, but allows for `<image>`
instead. That includes functions like `linear-gradient()`.
This commit implements image cursors in the Qt UI, but not AppKit.
This supports evaluating the script and replying with the result. We
currently serialize JS objects to a string, but we will need to support
dynamic interaction with the objects over IPC. This does not yet support
sending console messages to DevTools.
Our existing WebContentConsoleClient is very specific to our home-grown
Inspector. It renders console output to an HTML string. For DevTools, we
will not want this behavior; we will want to send representations of raw
JS values.
This patch makes WebContentConsoleClient a base class to handle console
input from the user, either from the Inspector or from DevTools. It then
moves the HTML rendering needed for the Inspector to a new class,
InspectorConsoleClient. And we add a DevToolsConsoleClient (currently
just stubbed) to handle needs specific to DevTools.
We choose at runtime which console client to install, based on the
--devtools command line flag.
Our existing coalescing mechanism for input events didn't prevent
multiple mousemove/mousewheel events from being processed between paint
cycles. Since handling these events can trigger style & layout updates
solely for hit-testing purposes, we might end up doing work that won't
be observable by a user and could be avoided by shceduling input events
processing to happen right before painting the next frame.
Before this change, `m_needs_repaint` was reset in
`Document::record_display_list()` only when the cached display list was
absent. This meant that if the last triggered repaint used the cached
display list, we would keep repainting indefinitely until the display
list was invalidated (We schedule a task that checks if repainting is
required 60/s).
This change also moves `m_needs_repaint` from Document to
TraversableNavigable as we only ever need to repaint a document that
belongs to traversable.
Some tests take longer than others, and so may want to set a custom
timeout so that they pass, without increasing the timeout for all other
tests. For example, this is done in WPT.
Add an `internals.setTestTimeout(milliseconds)` method that overrides
the test runner's default timeout for the currently-run test.
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
Now that the heap has no knowledge about a JavaScript realm and is
purely for managing the memory of the heap, it does not make sense
to name this function to say that it is a non-realm variant.
