This function should return the automatic height of the formatting
context's root box.
Until now, we've been relying on some magical handshakes between parent
and child context, when negotiating the height of child context root
boxes. This is a step towards something more reasonable.
This gets us a bit closer to the recommended algorithms in CSS 2.2 and
CSS Table Module 3.
A couple of table heavy websites (e.g. news.ycombinator.com,
html5test.com, etc.) now look quite okay. :^)
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. :^)
Per the spec, only a BlockContainer" can have line boxes, so let's not
clutter up every Layout::Box with line boxes.
This also allows us to establish an invariant that BFC and IFC always
operate on a Layout::BlockContainer.
Note that if BlockContainer has all block-level children, its line boxes
are not used for anything. They are only used in the all inline-level
children scenario.
