When calculating intrinsic sizes, we don't need to recurse into *every*
box and layout its insides. IIUC, we can skip any unconstrained box with
definite sizes in both axes. So this patch does exactly that.
Previously, we had three layout modes:
- Normal:
- Everything uses the computed values from CSS.
- MinContent:
- Containing blocks act as if they have 0 width.
- All line breaking opportunities are taken.
- MaxContent:
- Containing blocks act as if they have infinite width.
- Only forced line breaks are accepted.
The above was based on a set of misunderstandings of CSS sizing.
A major problem with the above was that *all* containing blocks
behaved differently during intrinsic size layout, not just the
relevant one.
With this patch there are only two layout modes:
- Normal:
- Everything uses the computed values from CSS.
- IntrinsicSizeDetermination:
- One or more boxes have size constraints applied.
There are two size constraints per layout box, set here:
- FormattingState::NodeState::width_constraint
- FormattingState::NodeState::height_constraint
They are of type SizeConstraint and can be one of None, MinContent,
or MaxContent. The default is None.
When performing an IntrinsicSizeDetermination layout, we now assign
a size constraint to the box we're trying to determine the intrinsic
size of, which is then honored by using two new helpers to query
the dimensions of containing blocks:
- FormattingContext::containing_block_width_for(Box)
- FormattingContext::containing_block_height_for(Box)
If there's a relevant constraint in effect on the Box, the size of
its containing block is adjusted accordingly.
This is essentially an implementation of the "available space"
constraints from CSS-SIZING-3. I'm sure some things will break from
this, and we'll have to deal with that separately.

Before this change, IFC would first generate all of its line boxes
and then measure them. It would then write some of the values into
the state of the IFC's containing block.
We now move that up to BFC::layout_inline_children() instead, which
is a much more natural place to decide metrics for the block.
Instead of using Optional<LengthPercentage>, we now use LengthPercentage
for these values. The initial values are all `auto`.
This avoids having to check `has_value()` in a ton of places.
If white-space is nowrap then we don't want to break a text_node
into multiple line boxes. This fixes the width calculation in the
min-content case for white-space: nowrap elements. Before this
the min-width would be the width of the biggest line box.
We now position inline-level boxes based on ascent and descent metrics
from the font in use. This makes our basic text layouts look a lot more
like those produced by other browsers. :^)
I've tried to match the terminology used by the CSS Inline Layout spec.
This will regress Acid2 a little bit, and probably various other sites,
but on the whole it's the direction we should be heading, so let's go.
Instead of emitting a Text item with the "should_force_break" flag set
to true, newlines in newline-preserving text content now timply turn
into ForcedBreak items. This makes the <pre> element work again.
CSS floats are now emitted by the InlineLevelIterator. When this
happens, IFC coordinates with the parent BFC to float the box to the
side, using the current LineBuilder state for vertical placement.
This makes the "instructions" text on Acid3 render as a single
contiguous flow of inline content.
The old mode names, while mechanically accurate, didn't really reflect
their relationship to the CSS specifications.
This patch renames them as follows:
Default => Normal
AllPossibleLineBreaks => MinContent
OnlyRequiredLineBreaks => MaxContent
There's also now an explainer comment with the LayoutMode enum about the
specific implications of layout in each mode.
After accounting for left-side floats, we have to subtract the offset of
the IFC's containing block again, to get the real starting X offset
for the current line.
This was done correctly in leftmost_x_offset_at() but incorrectly in
available_space_for_line(), causing IFC to break lines too early in
cases where the containing block had a non-zero X offset from the BFC
root block.
This makes SVG-in-HTML behave quite a bit better by following general
replaced layout rules. It also turns <svg> elements into inline-level
boxes instead of block-level boxes.
The previous implementation used relative X offsets for both left and
right-side floats. This made right-side floats super awkward, since we
could only determine their X position once the width of the BFC root was
known, and for BFC roots with automatic width, this was not even working
at all most of the time.
This patch changes the way we deal with floats so that BFC keeps track
of the offset-from-edge for each float. The offset is the distance from
the BFC root edge (left or right, depending on float direction) to the
"innermost" margin edge of the floating box.
Floating box are now laid out in two passes: while going through the
normal flow layout, we put floats in their *static* position (i.e the
position they would have occupied if they weren't floating) and then
update the Y position value to the final one.
The second pass occurs later on, when the BFC root has had its width
assigned by the parent context. Once we know the root width, we can
set the X position value of floating boxes. (Because the X position of
right-side floats is relative to the right edge of the BFC root.)
This is preparation for allowing blocks with their own internal BFC to
flow around floating boxes in the parent BFC.
Note that IFC still has the available_space_for_line() API, which
returns space available within the IFC's own containing block, while the
BFC available_space_for_line() returns space available within its root.
This implements at least some of the specification. inter-character is
not yet handled. However as our current algorithm only considers
whitespace as word breaks, inter-word could technically be considered to
be handled. :^)
All the justification-related code is now in
InlineFormattingContext::apply_justification_to_fragments and is
performed after all the line boxes have been added.
Text justification now only happens on the last line if the excess space
including whitespace is below a certain threshold. 10% seemed reasonable
since it prevents the "over-justification" of text. Note that fragments
in line boxes before the last one are always justified.
Note that we don't put absolutely positioned items on a line! This is
just so that IFC can discover boxes and pass them along to BFC.
This fixes an issue where only direct children of the IFC containing
block were considered for absolute positioning. Now we pick up
absolutely positioned children of nested inline nodes as well.
Previously we used a native ui button to draw the buttons.
These buttons can however not be styled with css.
To allow these to be styled with css, we create a button with
the UA stylesheet that resembles the system ui button.
When calculating how much space is available for inline content between
left and right floated elements, we have to use coordinates in the
containing block's coordinate space, since that's what floats use.
This fixes an issue where text would sometimes overlap floats.
This patch adds a map of Layout::Node to FormattingState::NodeState.
Instead of updating layout nodes incrementally as layout progresses
through the formatting contexts, all updates are now written to the
corresponding NodeState instead.
At the end of layout, FormattingState::commit() is called, which
transfers all the values from the NodeState objects to the Node.
This will soon allow us to perform completely non-destructive layouts
which don't affect the tree.
Note that there are many imperfections here, and still many places
where we assign to the NodeState, but later read directly from the Node
instead. I'm just committing at this stage to make subsequent diffs
easier to understand.
The purpose of this new object will be to keep track of various states
during an ongoing layout.
Until now, we've been updating layout tree nodes as we go during layout,
which adds an invisible layer of implicit serialization to the whole
layout system.
My idea with FormattingState is that running layout will produce a
result entirely contained within the FormattingState object. At the end
of layout, it can then be applied to the layout tree, or simply queried
for some metrics we were trying to determine.
When doing subtree layouts to determine intrinsic sizes, we will
eventually be able to clone the current FormattingState, and run the
subtree layout in isolation, opening up opportunities for parallelism.
This first patch doesn't go very far though, it merely adds the object
as a skeleton class, and makes sure the root BFC has one. :^)
Nobody makes undefined Lengths now, (although actually removing
Undefined will come in a later commit) so we can remove this parameter,
and `resolved_or_auto()`/`resolved_or_zero()`.
Here's roughly how this works:
- InlineLevelIterator keeps a nesting stack of inline-level nodes with
box model metrics.
- When entering a node with box model metrics, we add them to the
current "leading metrics".
- When exiting a node with box model metrics, we add them to the
current "trailing metrics".
- Pending leading metrics are consumed by the first fragment added
to the line.
- Pending trailing metrics are consumed by the last fragment added
to the line.
Like before, the position of a line box fragment is the top left of its
content box. However, fragments are placed horizontally along the line
with space inserted for padding and border.
InlineNode::paint() now expands the content rect as appropriate when
painting background and borders.
Note that margins and margin collapsing is not yet implemented.
This makes the eyes on ACID2 horizontally centered. :^)
Until now, some formatting contexts (BFC in particular) have been
assigning size to the root box. This is really the responsibility of the
parent formatting context, so let's stop doing it.
To keep position:absolute working, parent formatting contexts now notify
child contexts when the child's root box has been sized. (Note that the
important thing here is for the child root to have its final used height
before it's able to place bottom-relative boxes.)
This breaks flexbox layout in some ways, but we'll have to address those
by improving the spec compliance of FFC.)
This property represents the CSS content size, so let's reduce ambiguity
by using the spec terminology.
We also bring a bunch of related functions along for the ride.
Most of the time, we cannot resolve a `calc()` expression until we go to
use it. Since any `<length-percentage>` can legally be a `calc
()`, let's store it in `LengthPercentage` rather than make every single
user care about this distinction.
While IFC flows text into a block container, floating objects are
anchored at the BFC root, not necessarily the local block container.
Because of this, we have to use root-relative coordinates when checking
how much space is available in between left and right floated objects.
