[GTK] Optimize foldCase, toLower and toUpper methods in glib unicode backend

• Component: WebKitGTK
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

We could use our owns methods to convert between utf8 and utf16 to avoid the last memcpy needed in every method.

GLib methods use UTF-8 strings, so we have to convert from UTF-16 to UTF-8 to perform the case operations and then convert back the result to UTF-16. GLib conversion methods return a new allocated string, so we have to memcpy the result into the destination buffer too. Using our own methods to convert between UTF-8 and UTF-16 from wtf/unicode/UTF8.h we don't need such memcpy, since they take an already allocated buffer rather than returning a new one. There's another optimization for the case when the destination buffer is not large enough. In that case, methods should return the expected destination buffer size and are called again with a new buffer. We can avoid the conversion to UTF-16 by pre-calculating the required size for the destination buffer.

Looks good. It just needs a couple small cleanups.

> JavaScriptCore/wtf/unicode/glib/UnicodeGLib.cpp:58
> +        utf16Length += (character >= 0x10000) ? 2 : 1;

There's a macro in TextBreakIterator.h for this.

> JavaScriptCore/wtf/unicode/glib/UnicodeGLib.cpp:83
> +    GOwnPtr<char> utf8Result;
> +    utf8Result.set(caseFunction(buffer.data(), buffer.size()));

I think it makes more sense for this to be:

GOwnPtr<char> utf8Result(caseFunction(buffer.data(), buffer.size());

Perhaps this could be shared, but you can do that afterwards.
