The main motivator here was noticing that --disable-sql-database did not
work with AppKit. Rather than re-implementing this there, move ownership
of these classes to WebView::Application, so that each UI does not need
to individually worry about it.
The identifier "Protocol" is claimed by Objective-C and Swift for use
by the language's built-in protocol conformance feature, which is
similar to Rust traits or Java interfaces.
Rename LibProtocol -> LibRequests, and its namespace from Protocol to
Requests to accomodate this.
Currently, if we want to add a new e.g. WebContent command line option,
we have to add it to all of Qt, AppKit, and headless-browser. (Or worse,
we only add it to one of these, and we have feature disparity).
To prevent this, this moves command line flags to WebView::Application.
The flags are assigned to ChromeOptions and WebContentOptions structs.
Each chrome can still add its platform-specific options; for example,
the Qt chrome has a flag to enable Qt networking.
There should be no behavior change here, other than that AppKit will now
support command line flags that were previously only supported by Qt.
The default limit (at least on Linux) causes us to run out of file
descriptors at around 15 tabs. Increase this limit to 8k. This is a
rather arbitrary number, but matches the limit set by Chrome.
Skia painter is visibly faster than LibGfx painter and has more complete
CSS transforms support. With this change:
- On Linux, it will try to use Vulkan-backend with fallback to
CPU-backend
- On macOS it will try to use Metal-backend with fallback to
CPU-backend
- headless-browser always runs with CPU-backend in layout mode
If no header includes the prototype of a function, then it cannot be
used from outside the translation unit it was defined in. In that case,
it should be marked as `static`, in order to avoid possible ODR
problems, unnecessary exported symbols, and allow the compiler to better
optimize those.
If this warning triggers in a function defined in a header, `inline`
needs to be added, otherwise if the header is included in more than one
TU, it will fail to link with a duplicate definition error.
The reason this diff got so big is that Lagom-only code wasn't built
with this flag even in Serenity times.
This change adds a `--use-lagom-networking` flag to the WebWorker
process. Qt networking is used if this flag isn't passed. The flag is
passed the UI launches the WebWorker process unless the Qt chrome is
being run with the `--enable-qt-networking` flag.
GPU painter that uses AccelGfx is slower and way less complete compared
to both default Gfx::Painter and Skia painter. It does not make much
sense to keep it, considering Skia painter already uses Metal backend on
macOS by default and there is an option to enable GPU-accelerated
backend on linux.
This large commit also refactors LibWebView's process handling to use
a top-level Application class that uses a new WebView::Process class to
encapsulate the IPC-centric nature of each helper process.
This is the same behavior as RequestServer, with the added benefit that
we know how to gracefully reconnect ImageDecoder to all WebContent
processes on restart.
Using mmap-allocated memory for backing stores does not allow us to
benefit from using GPU-accelerated painting, because all the performance
increase we get is mostly negated by reading the GPU-allocated texture
back into RAM, so it can be shared with the browser process.
With IOSurface, we get a framebuffer that is both shareable between
processes and can be used as underlying memory for an OpenGL/Metal
texture.
This change does not yet benefit from using IOSurface and merely wraps
them into Gfx::Bitmap to be used by the CPU painter.
This patch adds a simple in-memory HTTP cache to each WebContent
process.
It's currently off by default (turn it on with --enable-http-cache)
since the validation logic is lacking and incomplete.
The location bar URL is no longer hidden when creating a new tab or
opening a new window that has an associated URL. Conversely, the
location bar is now always focused and the URL hidden when creating a
window or tab without an associated URL.
The location bar is focused when:
* Opening the browser from the command line with no URL arguments
* Opening a new tab (Ctrl+T)
* Opening a new window (Ctrl+N)
The location bar is not focused when:
* Opening the browser from the command line with one or more URLs
* Opening hyperlinks in a new tab
* Clicking a hyperlink with `target="_blank"`
This matches the behavior of other major browsers.
This makes WebView::Database wrap around sqlite3 instead of LibSQL. The
effect on outside callers is pretty minimal. The main consequences are:
1. We must ensure the Cookie table exists before preparing any SQL
statements involving that table.
2. We can use an INSERT OR REPLACE statement instead of separate INSERT
and UPDATE statements.
This option skips attempting any chrome IPC which even with the
`--new-window` does not open a new browser process. This is annoying
when trying to compare browser options as opening a new window with
the currently running chrome ignores any options passed to the new
ladybird invocation.
This adds a `--experimental-cpu-transforms` option to Ladybird and
WebContent (which defaults to false/off).
When enabled the AffineCommandExecutorCPU will be used to handle
painting transformed stacking contexts (i.e. stacking contexts where
the transform is something other than a simple translation). The regular
command executor will still handle the non-transformed cases.
This is hidden under a flag as the `AffineCommandExecutorCPU` is very
incomplete now. It missing support for clipping, text, and other basic
commands. Once most common commands have been implemented this flag
will be removed.
Now that the chrome process is a singleton on all platforms, we can
safely add a cache to the CookieJar to greatly speed up access. The way
this works is we read all cookies upfront from the database. As cookies
are updated by the web, we store a list of "dirty" cookies that need to
be flushed to the database. We do that synchronization every 30 seconds
and at shutdown.
There's plenty of room for improvement here, some of which is marked
with FIXMEs in the CookieJar.
Before these changes, in a SQL database populated with 300 cookies,
browsing to https://twinings.co.uk/ WebContent spent:
19,806ms waiting for a get-cookie response
505ms waiting for a set-cookie response
With these changes, it spends:
24ms waiting for a get-cookie response
15ms waiting for a set-cookie response
It previously resided in LibWebView to hide the details of launching a
singleton process. That functionality now lives in LibCore. By moving
this to Ladybird, we will be able to register the process with the task
manager.
Sometimes I like to play around with running Ladybird tests using full
blown Ladybird instead of just headless browser to interactively mess
around with the test page. One problem with this is that the internals
object is not exposed in this mode.
This commit supports this usecase by adding an option to specifically
expose the internals object without needing to run headless-browser
in test mode.
When launched with the new --enable-idl-tracing option, we now log
every call to web platform APIs declared via IDL, along with the
arguments passed.
This can be very helpful when trying to figure out what a site is
doing, especially if it's not doing what you'd expect.
When running with --log-all-js-exceptions, we will print the message
and backtrace for every single JS exception that is thrown, not just
the ones nobody caught.
This can sometimes be very helpful in debugging sites that swallow
important exceptions.
This URL library ends up being a relatively fundamental base library of
the system, as LibCore depends on LibURL.
This change has two main benefits:
* Moving AK back more towards being an agnostic library that can
be used between the kernel and userspace. URL has never really fit
that description - and is not used in the kernel.
* URL _should_ depend on LibUnicode, as it needs punnycode support.
However, it's not really possible to do this inside of AK as it can't
depend on any external library. This change brings us a little closer
to being able to do that, but unfortunately we aren't there quite
yet, as the code generators depend on LibCore.
When a QObject subclass (widgets, etc.) are provided a parent, then
ownership of that object is passed to the parent. Similarly, objects
added to a QLayout are owned by the layout.
Thus, do not store these objects in an OwnPtr.
It is currently a bit messy to pass these options along from main() to
where WebContent is actually launched. If a new flag were to be added,
there are a couple dozen files that need to be updated to pass that flag
along. With this change, the flag can just be added to the struct, set
in main(), and handled in launch_web_content_process().
This allows Ladybird to be the default browser on macOS, and allows for
opening some file types (.html, .svg, .md, etc.) with Ladybird.
Note this currently only works in the GN build (and thus the Qt chrome).
The CMake build does not set up the Resources directory properly for
macOS to run the Ladybird app without $SERENITY_SOURCE_DIR set.
