GTK a11y test ref update

This patch modifies the reference of one GTK accessibility test (when I apply it on master after the patches from the previous MathML refactoring bugs). It's not a real test failure, just some bounding box changes. See attachment.

Thanks for the test, I'll upload the patch with this modification.

So you'll also need to add a changelog for this test change.

Attached is a complete refactoring of RenderMathMLScript to avoid anonymous wrappers and flexboxes. There are a couple of things to adjust for mac tests, so I'll check that on Monday. But I'm already attaching for feedback.

OK, I checked the tests on mac. Now, I think it's ready for review.

The timeout to wait web font in LayoutTests/mathml/mathml-in-html5/subsup-parameters-1.html is a bit hacky. I'll upload a new version later that uses document.fonts.ready (implemented in bug 153348).

I'm uploading updated version of the MathML refactoring patches to solve conflicts after bug 154388 and bug 155005 ; and to do other minor changes.

As said in the comment conversions between firstLineBaseline (int) and LayoutUnit (fractional pixel) is bad for the layout accuracy. However, a better rounding of the value here seems to improve the rendering:

return Optional<int>(static_cast<int>(lroundf(base->top() + base->firstLineBaseline().value())));

LGTM, it is a complex layout but with the refactor it is clear how it works. I've implemented part of the code so I'll let other reviewer to r+.

Nit, Helpef -> Helper

Thanks Alex.

I'm uploading a new patch with the typo fix and other trivial changes (line wrap ~100 chars in changelog, use logical Width/Height, add link to bug 156401 etc)

Looks good to me, other than two issues and then a few nits.

We need to figure out if this license is compatible with WebKit and what the policy is going to be for importing mathml-in-html5 tests.

> Source/WebCore/css/mathml.css:104
> +/* This is a special style for erroneous markup */

Super nit: this sentence is missing a period.

> Source/WebCore/rendering/mathml/RenderMathMLScripts.cpp:76
> +    if (!base)

This function is really complicated! I think it may need some comments linking each decision to the spec and to decrease the complexity of the control.

> Source/WebCore/rendering/mathml/RenderMathMLScripts.cpp:170
> +    } break;

This should probably have its own line.

> Source/WebCore/rendering/mathml/RenderMathMLScripts.cpp:172
> +    default:
> +        ASSERT_NOT_REACHED();

This can be omitted if there is not other member in the enum.

> Source/WebCore/rendering/mathml/RenderMathMLScripts.cpp:246
> +        for (subScript = script; subScript && !isPrescript(*subScript); subScript = supScript->nextSiblingBox()) {

I think you can define subScript inside the for loop like:

for (RenderBox* subScript =...)

> Source/WebCore/rendering/mathml/RenderMathMLScripts.cpp:247
> +            supScript = subScript->nextSiblingBox();

This probably needs an ASSERT, since you rely on it later.

> Source/WebCore/rendering/mathml/RenderMathMLScripts.cpp:357
> +        for (subScript = firstPreScript; subScript; subScript = supScript->nextSiblingBox()) {

For each of these loops, it's probably a good idea to define subScript inside of the for loop:

for (RenderBox* subScript =...)

> Source/WebCore/rendering/mathml/RenderMathMLScripts.cpp:358
> +            supScript = subScript->nextSiblingBox();

You should probably ASSERT(supScript)

> Source/WebCore/rendering/mathml/RenderMathMLScripts.cpp:364
> +            supScript = subScript->nextSiblingBox();

You should probably ASSERT(supScript).

> Source/WebCore/rendering/mathml/RenderMathMLScripts.cpp:371
> +            supScript = subScript->nextSiblingBox();

Ditto.

> Source/WebCore/rendering/mathml/RenderMathMLScripts.cpp:385
> +            supScript = subScript->nextSiblingBox();

Ditto.

> Source/WebCore/rendering/mathml/RenderMathMLScripts.cpp:399
> +    default:
> +        ASSERT_NOT_REACHED();
>      }

You can probably just remove this if there are no other members.

OK, I found the tests from the Test The Web Forward project:
http://trac.webkit.org/browser/trunk/LayoutTests/imported/w3c/web-platform-tests

They use the same license and try and keep the structure of https://github.com/w3c/web-platform-tests

So I'll basically do the same for https://github.com/MathML/MathMLinHTML5-tests

OK, I think I'll be able to simplify the code and add many comments.
