Previously RS handled all the requests in an event loop, leading to
issues with connections being started in the middle of other connections
being started (and potentially blowing up the stack), ultimately causing
requests to be delayed because of other requests.
This commit reworks the way we handle these (specifically starting
connections) by first serialising the requests, and then performing them
in multiple threads concurrently; which yields a significant loading
performance and reliability increase.
Previously sharing a Timer/Notifier between threads (or just handing
its ownership to another thread) lead to a crash as they are
thread-specific.
This commit makes it so we can handle mutation (i.e. just deletion
or unregistering) in a thread-safe and lockfree manner.
The VERIFY assumed that we either have a finally block which we already
visited through a previous boundary or have no finally block what so
ever; But since 301a1fc763 we propagate
finalizers through unwind scopes breaking that assumption.
This allows readonly attributes and functions to have a 'FIXME' extended
attribute added to the IDL definition to stub out the function. This
makes debugging web compatibility issues on live sites much easier as a
FIXME message is logged whenever one of these functions or attributes
are called.
Support still needs to be extended to non-readonly attributes (and some
other special cases), but this should allow us to set a big percentage
of the commented out attributes/functions in IDL files to instead use
this extended attribute.
I saw that this not being implemented was causing a javascript exception
to be thrown when loading https://profiler.firefox.com/.
I was hoping that like the last time that partially implementing this
interface would allow the page to load further, but it seems that this
is unfortunately not the case this time!
However, this may help other pages load slightly further, and puts some
of the scaffolding in place for a proper implementation :^)
For now, this slot is always 0 - (the default value per spec). But
once we start actually processing audio streams this internal slot
should be changed correspondingly.
This will help us in detecting potential web compatability issues from
not having this implemented.
While we're at it, update the spec link, as it was moved from the DOM
parsing spec to the HTML one, and implement this function in a manner
that closr resembles spec text.
To determine the palette of colors we use the median cut algorithm.
While being a correct implementation, enhancements are obviously
existing on both the median cut algorithm and the encoding side.
This is useful to find the best matching color palette from an existing
bitmap. It can be used in PixelPaint but also in encoders of old image
formats that only support indexed colors e.g. GIF.
It wasn't safe to use addition_would_overflow(a, -b) to check if
subtraction (a - b) would overflow, since it doesn't cover this case.
I don't know why we didn't have subtraction_would_overflow(), so this
patch adds it. :^)
Previously, when looking for the labeled control of a label element, we
were only checking its child elements. The specification says we should
check all elements in the same tree as the label element.
