Bug 38199 – Get rid of forceLayout() on FrameView

• Component: Layout and Rendering
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Benjamin Poulain]

FrameView::forceLayout() is just calling layout(). It seems we can just get rid of the function and call layout directly.

Remove forceLayout

I did not commented on the changelog of each port, the change seems simple enough.

Remove forceLayout

I think there's semantic value in forceLayout(), and useful history in the comment in FrameView::forceLayout() that you are removing.

I suggest leaving things as they are.

[Kenneth Rohde Christiansen]

Personally it has just confused me and it doesn't actually *force* the layout.

Doesn't it just add complexity?
A newcomer, let say me ;), would assume that forceLayout() always relayout the render tree.

Patch for Qt only

Remove forceLayout() use in Qt, replace them by layout().

I did not changed one in QWebPage because it is gonna disappear altogether thanks to https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38179
