Description Frédéric Wang (:fredw) 2018-09-12 02:50:08 PDT
Applying attachment 349536 [details], I get the errors below on macOS and iOS ports. Since attachment 349536 [details] is unrelated to font stuff I suspect this is one more instance of UnifiedBuild rotating. A workaround is to move the implementation from the header to the cpp file.

ALWAYS_INLINE failed to build.

This "inline" doesn't do anything any more.  Is computeHash only used from within FontCache.cpp?
Comment 5 Frédéric Wang (:fredw) 2018-09-12 21:39:15 PDT
For the record, my initial attempt was in https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=185087#c14
Comment 6 Frédéric Wang (:fredw) 2018-09-13 03:05:01 PDT
Just to complete the description of the bug, the unified build content is:

#include "platform/graphics/FontCascadeFonts.cpp"
#include "platform/graphics/FontDescription.cpp"
#include "platform/graphics/FontFamilySpecificationNull.cpp"
#include "platform/graphics/FontGenericFamilies.cpp"
#include "platform/graphics/FontPlatformData.cpp"
#include "platform/graphics/FontRanges.cpp"
#include "platform/graphics/FontSelectionAlgorithm.cpp"
#include "platform/graphics/FontTaggedSettings.cpp"

So the implicit instantiation happens in FontCache.h (included by FontCascadeFonts.cpp) before the explicit specialization (in FontTaggedSettings.cpp).

This is attachment 349552 [details] (attached to the wrong bug) which did pass EWS but does not do any inlining.
Comment 8 Fujii Hironori 2018-09-13 07:07:22 PDT
A template function should be defined in header, not in a cpp file.
FontFeatureSettings::hash() should be defined in FontTaggedSettings class definition.

You're absolutely right.  We should move FontFeatureSettings::hash and FontVariationSettings::hash to a header.

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried that in attachment 349755 [details] but as you can see linking fails with duplicate symbols. I can probably avoid this by setting the functions as inline but anyway I realize this is not relevant here. These two functions are already fully specialized so they are not template functions!

The issue in comment 0 is "Explicit specialization must be declared before the first use that would cause implicit instantiation, in every translation unit where such use occurs" [1].

The problem is that unified build may put FontCache.h and FontTaggedSettings.cpp in the same unit. This can be avoided by moving FontDescriptionKey::computeHash to FontCache.cpp as done in attachment 349651 [details] but it could really still be possible that unified build puts FontCache.cpp and FontTaggedSettings.cpp in the same unit... So my guess is that the proper solution is to isolate FontTaggedSettings.cpp as suggested by Michael on webkit-dev.
