If you add a widget to a parent, this will invalidate the css nodes
for parent/siblings. Afterwards, if the parent is mapped, we will
realize the new child. This calls gtk_widget_update_alpha() which
needs the css opacity, so it revalidates the css.
Thus, for each widget_add (while visible) will trigger a full
revalidation of each sibling. If you add N children to a parent that
leads to O(N^2) revalidations.
To demo this I changed gtk-demo to always double the count
(independent of the fps) and print the time it took. Here is the
results (after a bit):
Setting fishbowl count=256 took 3,4 msec
Setting fishbowl count=512 took 10,1 msec
Setting fishbowl count=1024 took 34,1 msec
Setting fishbowl count=2048 took 126,3 msec
Setting fishbowl count=4096 took 480,3 msec
Setting fishbowl count=8192 took 1892,7 msec
Setting fishbowl count=16384 took 7751,0 msec
Setting fishbowl count=32768 took 38097,7 msec
Setting fishbowl count=65536 took 191987,7 msec
To fix this we drop gtk_widget_update_alpha() and just
calculate it when needed (which is only in a single place).
It was really only necessary because we previously set
the alpha on the surface.
With this fix the above becomes:
Setting fishbowl count=256 took 1,0 msec
Setting fishbowl count=512 took 1,9 msec
Setting fishbowl count=1024 took 3,7 msec
Setting fishbowl count=2048 took 7,4 msec
Setting fishbowl count=4096 took 18,1 msec
Setting fishbowl count=8192 took 31,0 msec
Setting fishbowl count=16384 took 66,3 msec
Setting fishbowl count=32768 took 126,7 msec
Setting fishbowl count=65536 took 244,6 msec
Setting fishbowl count=131072 took 492,2 msec
Setting fishbowl count=262144 took 984,3 msec
The new names are
GtkListView - listview row
GtkGridView - gridview child
GtkColumView - columnview header
columnview listview row
Adwaita css has been updated to preserve
existing styles.
Fixes: #2818
gtk_css_node_ensure_style() recurses over previous siblings to ensure
these have a style before its following sibling. As seen in
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/merge_requests/2027 this can
cause us to stack overflow and crash if we have a lot of children.
And even if we don't have *that* many children its still somewhat
bad to have stack depths of the same magnitude as the number of
children, both for performance reasons and debuggability.
Rename the show-separators property to show-row-separators,
and add a matching show-column-separators property. It is
implemented by setting the .column-separators style class
on the column view.
This is an expected feature with rubberband selection:
as you get close to the edge while doing rubberband
selection, the list scrolls to extend your selection.
Implement the typical rubberband selection, including
autoscroll. This is only useful with multiselection,
and not very compatible with single-click-activate.
Therefore, it is not enabled by default, and needs
to be turned on explicitly.
Autoscroll when the pointer gets close to the
edge during column resizing or reordering. This
is similar to what the treeview does, but it is
implemented using a tick callback, and has
variable speed.
Allow rearranging columns by dragging, in the same
way the treeview does.
We add the "dnd" style class to the header while
it is dragged, and we move the header of the dragged
column to the end of its parents children, so that
it gets drawn on top.
Add helper functions that let us temporarily give
a different allocation to headers. These will be
used to implement interactive column reordering
in GtkColumnView.
The listview inside always thinks it gets its full size,
and updates its horizontal adjustment accordingly.
So keep our own adjustment, and update it when allocating.
Tweak the behavior slightly. We don't show
a scrollbar as long as we have at least
min-size available, but we still give the
entire size to the child, up to nat-size.
This matches how viewports handle scroll-minimum.
