Bug 202090 – clang-tidy: Fix unnecessary copy/ref churn of for loop variables in WebCore

• Component: WebCore Misc.
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[David Kilzer (:ddkilzer)]

Running clang-tidy on WebCore resulted in these potential performance improvements to prevent object copies or reference churn in for loop variables:

This change doubles the size of the final vector. This constructor takes a vector size (read: not capacity).

This causes failures in fast/mediastream tests.  Removing r+/cq? flags.

It also instantiates m_transceivers.size() objects using the default constructor, which is not what I wanted!

Switched to use std::vector<>::reserve() in Patch v2.

Thanks!
