Bug 72327 – WebGLRenderingContext: Remove duplicate DrawingBuffer binding code

• Component: WebGL
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Jeff Timanus]

The code paths in various WebGLRenderingContext methods duplicate the following structures frequently:

            // Commit DrawingBuffer if needed (e.g., for multisampling)
            if (!m_framebufferBinding && m_drawingBuffer)
                m_drawingBuffer->commit();

            // Interesting rendering code here . . . . 

            // Restore DrawingBuffer if needed
            if (!m_framebufferBinding && m_drawingBuffer)
                m_drawingBuffer->bind();

The code duplication should be eliminated via a scoped object.  See comments in https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53201#c56

Yikes!  There was a missing { } pair here that wasn't caught in my earlier submit.  Fixing here.

Quick question: do we really need to hold a reference to those 2 objects here? It looks like WebGLRenderingContext already hold a strong reference to those 2 so it just adds some reference churn.

No, there is no strict need for references to be held.  Raw pointers would also suffice.  

Is there a preference for smart pointers versus raw?  I chose smart pointers arbitrarily, because I have a slight aversion to storing raw pointers, except when necessary to prevent reference cycles or due to other implementation details.

There is usually a preference towards using RefPtr only when you explicitly need to hold a reference to the object. It seems safe to switch that to raw pointers here so I would lean towards doing that (make sure you also change the constructor's arguments as PassRefPtr as the same effect).

Forwarding Stephen's r+ as he knows the code better and I am fine with the new change. Thanks!

The previous changes had failed to make a local of the ScopedDrawingBufferBinder instance.  An anonymous instance was created, which was constructed and destroyed within the same sequence point, not at the scope block.

For the record, previous patch was rolled out in https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=72450 / http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/100394 due to conformance suite regressions.

I can confirm that this change corrects all of the WebGL conformance regressions introduced by patch #3.

This patch fixes chrome bug crbug.com/104407, which had been opened in response to these regressions.
