Consider making CSSStyleSheet::rules() just an alias of CSSStyleSheet::cssRules().

• Component: DOM
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Emilio Cobos Álvarez (:emilio)]

Right now CSSStyleSheet.rules returns a StaticCSSRuleList. Blink got rid of this behavior, and I think WebKit could simplify their implementation too, so that it would match that and what I'm implementing in Firefox.

See https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/pull/3900 / https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1545823

Four thoughts on this:

1) We should merge CSSStyleSheet::cssRulesForBindings with CSSStyleSheet::rulesForBindings, not just this lower layer.
2) We should use inlining, putting the forwarding in the header, if possible, and pay no runtime cost at all. So the function body of CSSStyleSheet::rulesForBindings should be in the header, not in the .cpp file.
3) We should delete CSSStyleSheet::rules entirely.
4) We can consider naming CSSStyleSheet::rulesForBindings to CSSStyleSheet::rules.

The "this->" here is not needed.
