[CSS Shaders] Cached validated programs are destroyed and recreated when there is only one custom filter animating

• Component: Layout and Rendering
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Max Vujovic]

In FilterEffectRenderer::build, we first clear the old effects and then create the new effects.

Suppose we have one FECustomFilter animating on our page. In FilterEffectRenderer::build, we first destroy the old FECustomFilter. This removes its validated program from the cache since it was the last FECustomFilter using it. Then, we create the new FECustomFilter, and we have to create a new validated program.

We need to keep the old effects around until we're done creating the new effects so that we can reuse validated programs.

I think it would be easy to just create a new list and swap it here. It would be similar to clearing m_effects, while still keeping the old ones alive.

FilterEffectList oldEffects;
m_effects.swap(oldEffects);

Sure, I can do that.
