This is a monster patch that turns all EventTargets into GC-allocated
PlatformObjects. Their C++ wrapper classes are removed, and the LibJS
garbage collector is now responsible for their lifetimes.
There's a fair amount of hacks and band-aids in this patch, and we'll
have a lot of cleanup to do after this.
This prevents us from needing a sv suffix, and potentially reduces the
need to run generic code for a single character (as contains,
starts_with, ends_with etc. for a char will be just a length and
equality check).
No functional changes.
Each of these strings would previously rely on StringView's char const*
constructor overload, which would call __builtin_strlen on the string.
Since we now have operator ""sv, we can replace these with much simpler
versions. This opens the door to being able to remove
StringView(char const*).
No functional changes.
Note our Attribute class is what the spec refers to as just "Attr". The
main differences between the existing implementation and the spec are
just that the spec defines more fields.
Attributes can contain namespace URIs and prefixes. However, note that
these are not parsed in HTML documents unless the document content-type
is XML. So for now, these are initialized to null. Web pages are able to
set the namespace via JavaScript (setAttributeNS), so these fields may
be filled in when the corresponding APIs are implemented.
The main change to be aware of is that an attribute is a node. This has
implications on how attributes are stored in the Element class. Nodes
are non-copyable and non-movable because these constructors are deleted
by the EventTarget base class. This means attributes cannot be stored in
a Vector or HashMap as these containers assume copyability / movability.
So for now, the Vector holding attributes is changed to hold RefPtrs to
attributes instead. This might change when attribute storage is
implemented according to the spec (by way of NamedNodeMap).
This patch implements the HTML specification's "encoding sniffing
algorithm", which is used when no encoding can be obtained from the
Content-Type header (either because it doesn't contain a charset=...)
value or the file has not been opened via HTTP (as with local files).
It also modifies the creator of the HTMLDocumentParser to use the new
HTMLDocumentParser::create_with_uncertain_encoding static method, which
runs the encoding sniffing algorithm before instantiating the parser.
This now allows us to load local HTML pages (or remote pages without a
charset specified in the 'Content-Type' header) with a non-UTF-8
encoding such as 'windows-1252'. This would previously crash the
browser. :^)
