Add local triangulation of cubic curve control points

• Component: Layout and Rendering
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Kenneth Russell]

As part of the GPU accelerated path rendering algorithm in https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44729 , a local triangulation algorithm is needed for the four points defining a cubic curve. This triangulator needs to support walking the interior edges of the shape in order to feed those edges to a more general triangulation algorithm which handles filling of the interior of the shape.

Patch

From the ChangeLog:

Adding a localized triangulation algorithm which takes as input the four control points of a cubic curve segment and provides both triangles as well as the ability to walk the interior edges. The latter will be used later to fill the interior of shapes bounded by these cubic curves, quadratic curves and line segments.

instead of having a done flag, could the work in the first half of this function be a helper that early-returns?

these need braces

intentation looks funny. I think the predicate can go one line

cur -> current

ccw -> counterClockWise, or an enum { ClockWise, CounterClockWise }

Add a comment indicating why these are raw pointers (that they point to data from the arena or something of that sort).

these bool params should be enums so callsites look more like triangulage(ComputeInsideEdges, FillLeftSide);

Yes. Done; refactored first half into triangulateHelper.

Renamed numTriangles to numberOfTriangles and numInteriorVertices to numberOfInteriorVertices to avoid abbreviations.
