Do you have some kind of meta bug on what other kind of adaptations you have planned?

processSingleCluster sounds like a specialized version of processCluster and it is not. Confusing

I think it would be fine to make this comment around 100 chars before wrapping.

So no way to avoid iterating the clusterinfos 3 times?

I think processCluster vs processSingleCluster is confusing... Like what is the difference; that is not obvious here

Change looks generally good. A couple of comments though.

> Source/WebCore/ChangeLog:14

s/we eventually want to be able to merge them back together into one (or a few) descendant clusters./we want them all to share the same multiplier, as if they were a single cluster/.

> Source/WebCore/rendering/TextAutosizer.cpp:177
> +    const float minLinesOfText = 4;

I'm not keen on the way this code is duplicated from clusterShouldBeAutosized. Could you not just make clusterShouldBeAutosized accept a list of clusterInfos (using the multi-clusterInfo aware code below)?

> Source/WebCore/rendering/TextAutosizer.cpp:178
> +    float minTextWidth = maxTextWidth * minLinesOfText;

Nit: perhaps rename these to minDescendantTextWidth and totalDescendantTextWidth, to clarify that these are measuring a different type of thing than maxTextWidth (otherwise it seems like minTextWidth..maxTextWidth is some kind of range).

> Source/WebCore/rendering/TextAutosizer.cpp:182
> +        measureDescendantTextWidth(clusterInfos[i].blockContainingAllText, clusterInfos[i], minTextWidth, textWidth);

Shouldn't you be passing total(Descendant)TextWidth directly to measureDescendantTextWidth instead of textWidth? There is logic in measureDescendantTextWidth to early out once textWidth >= minTextWidth, but by hiding the true total(Descendant)TextWidth from measureDescendantTextWidth that logic won't be able to work. And since it IIRC just adds to the number passed in by reference, it should be equivalent to let it directly increase total(Descendant)TextWidth.

Done.

There's the complete patch I've been splitting into smaller ones and submitting over the last week. See wkbug.com/107300.
This should be the penultimate patch.

Done.

renamed back to processCluster and renamed the common code holder to processClusterInternal

>> Source/WebCore/rendering/TextAutosizer.cpp:161

Done.

I could probably move the first loop to the place where we add cluster info to the vector, the second one exits early as soon as we have enough text and the third one is unavoidable.
But the code will do the same amount of work so it shouldn't matter from the performance point of view. Having this code in the same place makes the code clearer to me.

Since I moved it to modified version of shouldClusterBeAutosized, I've left the names as they were there.

Done.

Looks good to me. Kenneth, what do you think?

As you are touching this comment, why? (explaining the why here would be a nice addition to the previous comment)

> Source/WebCore/rendering/TextAutosizer.h:64

Usually boolean arguments should be avoided as they make the code less readable. Here you never really use them directly so it's kinda OK.

Kenneth asked to rewrap it around 100 characters.

Thanks, I'll follow with a patch that fixes this.
