Bug 143554 – Simple line layout(regression): Calling innerText on RenderFlow with multiple children is slow.

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: Layout and Rendering

[zalan]

We reinitialize segment iterator for the same content each time TextIterator iterates through the text nodes.

Wouldn't it be clearer to initialise the cache when entering a flow with simple line layout (and clear when leaving it)? Now we leave an unneeded RunResolver behind (not much of a practical problem I suppose).

Why do we need two separate places to initialize this?

How about

if (!m_runResolver || !&m_runResolver->flow() != &blockFlow)

(or the suggestion above).

OwnPtr is dead. Please use std::unique_ptr instead.

This could be called something more informative, m_flowRunResolverCache or similar.

The assert doesn't really add any value.

std::make_unique<SimpleLineLayout::RunResolver>(blockFlow, *layout);

For clear O(n^2) bugs like this it might be better to make a magnitude test (LayoutTests/perf/).

Thanks, I'll talk to Ryosuke about it.

[Csaba Osztrogonác]

AFAIK the problem is that a performance test isn't allowed to produce any output.

Yea, that's an odd limitation. -and that's what I was planning to discuss with Ryosuke.
