The Paintable tree and its supplemental painting data structures were
GC allocated because that was the easiest way to manage it and avoid
leaks introduced by ref cycles. This included the Paintable subclasses
themselves plus StackingContext, ChromeWidget, Scrollbar, ResizeHandle,
and scroll-frame state.
We are now trying to reduce GC allocation churn on layout and painting
updates, so keeping this short-lived rendering tree outside the JS heap
is a better fit. Move Paintable to RefCountedTreeNode, make painting
helpers ref-counted or weakly reference Paintables, and update the
layout and event-handler call sites to use RefPtr/WeakPtr ownership.
Pieces of the down, move, and up handlers are moved to separate
functions. Some part actually have specs, so the ones I've found thus
far have been brought in to make things more spec-aligned. A lot of
FIXMEs are added for things that the spec mentions or implies.
Pointer events are intended to be handled per pointer device, but this
still treats them the same as legacy mouse events. However, the PREVENT
MOUSE EVENT flag is implemented to block legacy mouse events for the
duration of a drag.
Behavior changes should be minimal.
One notable change is that auxclick is now fired for all non-primary
buttons, which matches the spec and other browsers.
This unifies the implementations of the element resize and the scroll
mouse inputs, so the actual code involved in handling the events can
be simplified, and it only should require one object per event.
The cursor override is now part of this ChromeWidget class as well, so
that the hit test's cursor doesn't need to be passed around as much.
