Move the visual viewport (pinch-to-zoom) transform from a reserved slot
in DisplayList to the AccumulatedVisualContext tree as a root transform
node. Fixed position elements now correctly inherit from this context.
This requires rebuilding the context tree and display list on each zoom
change, but this overhead will be eliminated by future partial context
tree rebuilds.
Reuse existing paintables during relayout to reduce GC allocation
pressure. Each paintable subclass implements reset_for_relayout()
to clear state before reuse.
Remove the now-obsolete ClipFrame infrastructure:
- Delete ClipFrame.h and ClipFrame.cpp
- Remove assign_clip_frames() from ViewportPaintable
- Remove enclosing_clip_frame and own_clip_frame from PaintableBox
- Remove m_clip_state HashMap from ViewportPaintable
Clip handling is now fully managed through AccumulatedVisualContext
nodes with ClipData.
Cache the scroll state snapshot in ViewportPaintable when
refresh_scroll_state() is called.
The upcoming AccumulatedVisualContext integration requires access to
the scroll state snapshot during hit testing to transform screen
coordinates through scroll frames. Without caching, each hit test would
allocate a new snapshot (a Vector<Entry>), causing many temporary
allocations during mouse movement. Caching the snapshot eliminates this
overhead.
Introduce AccumulatedVisualContext, a tree structure that tracks the
cumulative visual state (scroll offsets, clip regions, transforms,
perspective) for each paintable box.
Motivation:
Before this change, visual state was fragmented across multiple
mechanisms:
- ClipFrame: Tracked clip rectangles, each storing its own
enclosing_scroll_frame_id to handle scroll offset adjustments
- scroll_frame_id: Passed separately to each display list command
- PushStackingContext: Stored transform matrices directly in the command
- Every display list command implemented translate_by() (45 methods
total) to allow scroll offset adjustment during playback
This fragmentation led to:
- Complex, error-prone coordinate transformation logic scattered
throughout the codebase
- Commands being mutated during playback to apply scroll offsets
- Duplicate logic between painting and hit testing for coordinate
transformations
Solution:
AccumulatedVisualContext builds a tree where each node represents a
single visual operation:
- ScrollData: A scroll frame with its ID
- ClipData: A clip rectangle with optional border radii
- TransformData: A 4x4 transform matrix with its origin
- PerspectiveData: A perspective projection matrix
Each PaintableBox stores a reference to its accumulated context node.
The tree structure naturally captures the parent-child relationships,
so traversing from any node to the root gives the complete chain of
visual transformations.
Benefits this enables (in subsequent commits):
- Display list commands become immutable - no more translate_by()
- Single RefPtr<AccumulatedVisualContext> replaces separate
scroll_frame_id and ClipFrame on commands
- LCA-based tree traversal during playback for efficient save/restore
- transform_point_for_hit_test() provides coordinate transformation for
hit testing using the same structure
PaintContext dates back to a time when display lists didn't exist and it
truly represented "paint context". Renaming it to better align with its
current role.
Instead, collect a list of all the elements with content-visibility:auto
after layout.
This way we can skip the tree traversal when updating the rendering.
This was previously eating up ~300 µs of the 60fps frame budget on
our GitHub repo pages (and even more on large pages).
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
