In all of the places touched by this patch, the smart pointer we're
appending is about to become unused, so simply .forget()'ing its
reference into the appropriate nsCOMArray works just fine.
This patch (currently WIP) alters the way we determine whether jank is user-visible or not.
Instead of measuring the total time spent doing JS, we now use an
indicator provided by the vsync driver: how long it takes to deliver
the signal from the vsync timer to the main thread. This lets us find
out more accurately if there is user-visible jank. In the future, this
will also let us add an observer to find out whether the process
itself is janky, regardless of JS.
nsPresContext contains a mLastStyleUpdateForAllAnimations flag which is simply
used to prevent unnecessarily posting restyles when throttled animations are
already up to date. Since part 13 we now accurately record whether we have
posted a restyle for each throttled animation and only post a restyle if we
have not done so already. As a result, this flag is no longer needed since
calling PostRestyleForThrottledAnimations is effectively a noop when throttled
animations are up-to-date.
To refine its alerts, Performance Stats API needs to be able to know whether a long-running operation is actually causing user-visible jank in the current process. This patch introduces a trivial API that lets clients ask the refresh driver whether any kind of animation is ongoing.
The bulk of this commit was generated with a script, executed at the top
level of a typical source code checkout. The only non-machine-generated
part was modifying MFBT's moz.build to reflect the new naming.
