The following CSS would infloop:
@define-color self @self
as it would infinitely lookup the color named "self" and try to resolve
it. This patch adds detection of such cycles to the resolve function by
keeping a list of currently resolving colors in the cycle_list variable.
Symbolic colors are an implementation detail of the CSS engine and have
been superceded by GtkCssColorValue. We don't want them clobbering the
public API. In particular because the only use I could find in the
public API is people using it to shade colors.
Here's the shortest description of the bug I can come up with:
When computing values, we have 3 kinds of dependencies:
(1) other properties ("currentColor" or em values)
(2) inherited properties ("inherit")
(3) generic things from the theme (@keyframes or @define-color)
Previously, we passed the GtkStyleContext as an argument, because it
provided these 3 things using:
(1) _gtk_style_context_peek_property()
(2) _gtk_style_context_peek_property(gtk_style_context_get_parent())
(3) context->priv->cascade
However, this makes it impossible to lookup values other than the ones
accessible via _gtk_style_context_peek_property(). And this is exactly
what we are doing in gtk_style_context_update_cache(). So when the cache
updates encountered case (1), they were looking up the values from the
wrong style data.
So this large patch essentially does nothing but replace the
context argument in all compute functions with new arguments for the 3
cases above:
(1) values
(2) parent_values
(3) provider
We apparently have a lot of computing code.
... and Make this new value be a real GValue, as we don't need to save
performance for these anymore (it's just used for custom properties).
And I'd rather have code work for all values then be optimized for no
reason.
Deprecate public API where appropriate and make it no-ops.
Remove all calls to it.
Get rid of the 'transition' css property.
For now, this means spinners don't animate anymore.
Note: custom CSS properties still use the default GtkCssValue and always
will.
So there is a difference in css values used between those, even though
they both carry a GdkRGBA payload.
We now store the symbolic colors as a GtkCssValue which means that
we can reuse the color when resolving and storing the color in
the computed values in the style context.
Additionally we keep a last_resolved GtkCssValue cache in the
GtkSymbolicColor, and if resolving the color returns the same as
last time we reuse the old value. This further increases sharing
of Css Values.
Also, in places where we're computing a new CssValue based on an
old one, make sure that if nothing changes we're returning a reference
to the old one, rather than creating a new identical instance.
