Bug 79591 – Avoid doing 2 hash lookups if we override RenderBox's logical width / height

• Component: Layout and Rendering
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Julien Chaffraix]

Currently all RenderBoxes are calling clearOverrideSize. However a RenderBox could have an override size in only 3 cases:
* if it's a child of a RenderDeprecatedFlexibleBox
* if it's a child of a RenderFlexibleBox
* if it's a RenderTableCell

That would remove 2 hash lookups from RenderBox::willBeDestroyed.

I am not convinced by this change. You are spreading complexity to avoid one very simple call.
Could you find if this has any impact?

> Source/WebCore/rendering/RenderBox.cpp:802
> -    if (hasOverrideHeight())
> +    if (gOverrideHeightMap)
>          gOverrideHeightMap->remove(this);
> -    if (hasOverrideWidth())
> +    if (gOverrideWidthMap)
>          gOverrideWidthMap->remove(this);

This looks good.

Let's r- until you benchmark it.

Thanks for doubting my change. I tested on html5-full-renderer and it looks like it regressed a bit the benchmark (around 1%, small but significant). It looks like the branches we introduced were killing us and / or my assumption about the use of RenderDeprecatedFlexibleBox or RenderFlexibleBox were wrong.

I will re-purpose the bug to center around the good part and put a new patch for review.

Re-purposing the bug on the part that is safe.
