Bug 154573 – [Reflected] IDL attributes of integer types should use HTML rules for parsing integers

• Component: Bindings
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Chris Dumez]

[Reflected] IDL attributes of integer types should use HTML rules for parsing integers:
- https://html.spec.whatwg.org/#reflecting-content-attributes-in-idl-attributes

Those rules are defined here:
- https://html.spec.whatwg.org/#rules-for-parsing-integers
- https://html.spec.whatwg.org/#rules-for-parsing-non-negative-integers

We already have an implementation for parsing HTML integers but our reflected attributes currently use WTFString::toInt() / toUint() instead.

Kind of sad that this doesn’t use fastGetAttribute.

Kind of sad that this doesn’t use fastGetAttribute.

Do we have tests for parseHTMLInteger and parseHTMLNonNegativeInteger?

This is needlessly inefficient, doing heap access for no reason. Given that we are only looking at ASCII digits with a single possible sign prefix, why use a StringBuilder? Why not just use a Vector<LChar, 32> or something like that? We could also use reserveInitialCapacity and uncheckedAppend. And there would be no need for an 8-bit and 16-bit branch below.
