With this change, chrome no longer has to ask the WebContent process
to paint the next frame into a specified bitmap. Instead, it allocates
bitmaps and sends them to WebContent, which then lets chrome know when
the painting is done.
This work is a preparation to move the execution of painting commands
into a separate thread. Now, it is much easier to start working on the
next frame while the current one is still rendering. This is because
WebContent does not have to inform chrome that the current frame is
ready before it can request the next frame.
Additionally, as a side bonus, we can now eliminate the
did_invalidate_content_rect and did_change_selection IPC calls. These
were used solely for the purpose of informing chrome that it needed to
request a repaint.
This commit un-deprecates DeprecatedString, and repurposes it as a byte
string.
As the null state has already been removed, there are no other
particularly hairy blockers in repurposing this type as a byte string
(what it _really_ is).
This commit is auto-generated:
$ xs=$(ack -l \bDeprecatedString\b\|deprecated_string AK Userland \
Meta Ports Ladybird Tests Kernel)
$ perl -pie 's/\bDeprecatedString\b/ByteString/g;
s/deprecated_string/byte_string/g' $xs
$ clang-format --style=file -i \
$(git diff --name-only | grep \.cpp\|\.h)
$ gn format $(git ls-files '*.gn' '*.gni')
There's no need for 2 overloads for String and DeprecatedString, we can
just use a StringView. This also avoids some cases of needlessly
allocating a DeprecatedString from a StringView when calling this
method.
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().
We can easily add hooks to notify the browsers of these events if any
implementation-specific handling is needed in the future, but for now,
these only repaint the client, which we can do in ViewImplementation.
Storing the backup bitmap is the same across Browser and Ladybird. Just
peform that work in LibWebView, and handle only the implementation-
specific nuances within the browsers.
This also sets the default callback to do what every non-Serenity
browser is doing, rather than copy-pasting this callback into every
implementation. The callback is still available for any platform which
might want to override the default behavior. For example, OOPWV now
overrides this callback to use FileSystemAccessClient.
This will help a lot with developing chromes for different UI frameworks
where we can see which helper classes and processes are really using Qt
vs just using it to get at helper data.
As a bonus, remove Qt dependency from WebDriver.
