The main incentive is much better performance. We could have gone a bit
further in optimizing the Skia painter to blit glyphs produced by LibGfx
more efficiently from the glyph atlas, but eventually, we also want Skia
to improve correctness.
This change does not completely replace LibGfx in text handling. It's
still used at all stages, including layout, up until display list
replaying.
Override the vcpkg/scripts/detect_compiler behavior of always pulling
$CC and $CXX at the time that vcpkg install is determined to need called
by forcing $ENV{CXX} and $ENV{CC} to our CMake-determined compiler.
This prevents strange behavior such as running the following:
./Meta/ladybird.sh run
make changes...
ninja -C Build/ladybird
Where the second build step would be run without CC or CXX set in the
environment, causing a total cache miss from vcpkg and a full rebuild.
It also helps prevent full rebuilds when an IDE passes a slightly
different compiler to the build step than ladybird.sh.
- `-fstack-protection-strong` enables stack canaries for functions where
addresses of local variables are taken or arrays/structures
containing arrays are allocated on the stack.
- `-fstrict-flex-arrays=2` causes the compiler to only treat arrays with
unknown bounds (`[]`) or zero-length-arrays (`[0]`) as *flexible array
members*, allowing the sanitizers to emit bounds checks for structs
with proper arrays as their last member.
More rigorous options (such as AArch64 pointer authentication, Control
Flow Integrity, _FORTIFY_SOURCE) should be investigated in the future,
however this is a good baseline.
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.
These used to be enabled in `serenity_compile_options.cmake` for
Serenity builds and were removed in 9b05fb98. This is a slightly more
conservative subset of those, with ones that are enabled by default
omitted.
This should prevent our code quality regressing in the long run.
Trying to build VulkanLoader from source is a giant headache of
unnecessary packages. Every modern distro has vulkan packages, let's
depend on those instead of trying to build something for both wayland
and X11.
Skia now uses GPU-accelerated painting on Linux if Vulkan is available.
Most of the performance gain is currently negated by reading the GPU
backend back into RAM to pass it to the Browser process. In the future,
this could be improved by sharing GPU-allocated memory across the
Browser and WebContent processes.
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.
We currently build debug and release versions of vcpkg dependencies. We
will most commonly only need the release version, so let's default to
that to approximately halve our dependency build time.
VP9 continues to function, but this also allows AV1 to be decoded. With
this commit, H.264 is still non-functional, as the decoder requires
some extra initial data from the track definition in the Matroska file.
For SerenityOS, we parse emoji metadata from the UCD to learn emoji
groups, subgroups, names, etc. We used this information only in the
emoji picker dialog. It is entirely unused within Ladybird.
This removes our dependence on the UCD emoji file, as we no longer
need any of its information. All we need to know is the file path to
our custom emoji, which we get from Meta/emoji-file-list.txt.
There are a couple of differences here due to using ICU:
1. Titlecasing behaves slightly differently. We previously transformed
"123dollars" to "123Dollars", as we would use word segmentation to
split a string into words, then transform the first cased character
to titlecase. ICU doesn't go quite that far, and leaves the string
as "123dollars". While this is a behavior change, the only user of
this API is the `text-transform: capitalize;` CSS rule, and we now
match the behavior of other browsers.
2. There isn't an API to compare strings with case insensitivity without
allocating case-folded strings for both the left- and right-hand-side
strings. Our implementation was previously allocation-free; however,
in a benchmark, ICU is still ~1.4x faster.
This changes the Sanitizer configs to build all the vcpkg dependencies
with our specified CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS for ASAN and UBSAN.
Unfortunately, we can't yet enable actually compiling them with
sanitizers enabled, because this causes test failures that need to be
investigated.
