gtk_widget_preferred_size() is only useful if you want to quickly port a
widget from GTK2 sizing code to GTK3 but does not properly work with
height-for-width as used in GTK. So we don't want to encourage people to
use it. In particular we want people to convert to height-for-width
before adding baseline support to their widgets.
If a subclass (say a child of GtkButton) overrides the non-baseline
size request methods we need to call these, rather than the new
get_height_and_baseline_for_width method.
In order to handle this we make the default for this method to be
NULL, and instead check at runtime which method to call. If any
non-baseline vfunc has changed in a class but the baseline one
hasn't, then we can't use the baseline one.
This modifies the size machinery in order to allow baseline support.
We add a new widget vfunc get_preferred_height_and_baseline_for_width
which queries the normal height_for_width (or non-for-width if width
is -1) and additionally returns optional (-1 means "no baseline")
baselines for the minimal and natural heights.
We also add a new gtk_widget_size_allocate_with_baseline() which
baseline-aware containers can use to allocate children with a specific
baseline, either one inherited from the parent, or one introduced due
to requested baseline alignment in the container
itself. size_allocate_with_baseline() works just like a normal size
allocation, except the baseline gets recorded so that the child can
access it via gtk_widget_get_allocated_baseline() when it aligns
itself.
There are also adjust_baseline_request/allocation similar to the
allocation adjustment, and we extend the size request cache to also
store the baselines.
Some functions in gtkstyle.h were overlooked when we added the
GDK_DEPRECATED macros.
Also add IGNORE_DEPRECATIONS to the few remaining callers of those
functions.
This is a quickfix to keep things working.
It turns out GtkWindow assumes it can do sizing operations while not
being visible, or while in the process of show()ing/hide()ing itself.
And commit b495ce54 broke these operations.
Figuring this properly requires some more thinking and restructuring on
my part, so for now we relax the requirement of visiblility enough for
these things to start working again.
We can set for_size to -1 earlier than we did. Doing so makes sure we
only cache one value (as we should in the first place). In GTK 3.6, this
worked properly, but with Previously, this check was moved further up to
avoid interacting with size groups. But after recent refactorings, size
groups are handled way earlier anyway.
... instead of GtkSizeGroupMode. Orientation is what we're interested in
after all. When we need a GtkSizeGroupMode, we can do the translation
where we need it.
With size groups now doing hfw, doing the optimization for CONSTANT_SIZE
was done too early. Size groups need to know that it's a hfw request, so
the other widgets in the size group get the correct behavior.
We compute on-demand for size groups anyway, so we can (in theory, this
patch doesn't do that yet) get around costly cache blowing when
invalidating single widgets of a size group this way.
This ensures that widgets that aren't ported and rely on the style-set
signal being emitted work as well as before. They should not rely on
style-set being emitted however.
Note that this function is a no-op if the initial style has been set
already and is very cheap if it has not been set yet. It only becomes
relevant if the resulting style actually gets used.

This patch optimizes window resizes by assuming that if a widget
has the same height at a width of 50 as with a width of 150, the
height for width 100 will also be the same.
The patch also further optimizes the cache allocator, now there
are 2 pointer arrays of up to a maximum of 5 requests, the arrays
will only be allocated if a request is ever made in that orientation
and the array will be sparse until each request is made (i.e. if a
label can only wrap to 3 lines, there will only be 3 out of a
possible 5 SizeRequest structures allocated to cache it).
This patch makes contextual height-for-width request caching
optional (the contextual cache is not allocated for widgets that
report GTK_SIZE_REQUEST_CONSTANT_SIZE).
The constant size request mode defines a request mode where
height-for-width geometry is unneeded, thus optimizing GTK+
by reducing the overall amount of requests that need to be
performed and cached while resizing an interface.
Instead of checking if klass->get_request_mode is != NULL from
the gtk_widget_get_request_mode() api, this allows classes to
trust that there is a default implementation and chain up (specifically
added this for gtkmm wrapper objects).
Checks were in place to ensure that widgets never request taller
or wider than screen size. This was there to test a theory about
scrolled window children functioning correctly with dynamic content
however it breaks GtkViewport children which can generally return a
value taller than screen height intentionally, GtkViewport uses this
value to update the adjustments.
Size requests should only ever need to return the screen's width/height
and max. This way, potentially large widgets (tree view or icon view)
don't need to do so many computations, but can stop when their computed
size has reached the screen size.
This allows us to add a check before executing
->get_preferred_height_for_width() to ensure we always
request for at least the minimum required size (and lets
us remove the warning in gtkcontainer.c telling implementors
to do this check manually from thier container implementations).
