Bug 25605 – Reduce the size of GlyphPage

• Component: Layout and Rendering
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Simon Fraser (smfr)]

GlyphPage wastes a lot of space with padding, because it has a 256-size array of GlyphData, which is { unsigned short, pointer }. In 64-bit, that's 6 bytes of padding.

How did you test the performance impact of this change?

[Simon Fraser (smfr)]

I'm going to run PLTs today.

[Simon Fraser (smfr)]

PLTs show this is a small perf gain (0.25%).

Could just write the above as one constructor with default arguments:

    GlyphData(Glyph g = 0, const SimpleFontData* f = 0)

instead.

This is in a member of GlyphPage, so you can omit the GlyphPage:: from the use of size. In fact, you should just use sizeof(m_glyphs) and sizeof(m_glyphFontData).

> +        memset(m_glyphs, 0, GlyphPage::size * sizeof(m_glyphs[0]));

Ditto.
