This patch makes FlushAnimations purely responsible for posting restyles. All
ticking behavior is performed in response to an actual refresh driver tick
(currently CommonAnimationManager::WillRefresh).
The implementations of FlushAnimations and FlushTransitions should now be all
but equivalent so this patch combines them into a single implementation on
CommonAnimationManager.
Regarding some of the minor differences between the two methods:
* The combined implementation drops the check for an empty list of collections
found only in FlushTransitions. This seems like a very minor optimization
that could possibly cause us to fail to unregister from the refresh driver
if we forgot to do so when removing the last collection.
* The combined implementation uses the loop implementation from FlushAnimations
since it is more compact.
This patch also removes the extra nested scope since it doesn't seem necessary.
This patch moves the logic for queueing events out of the logic for flushing
transitions making it a separate step. It still doesn't delay the dispatch of
those events into a separate step, however. That is done in a subsequent patch.
This patch also makes sure to clear any queued events when the nsPresShell that
owns the transition manager is destroyed. We don't expect CSSTransition::Tick to
be called anywhere except nsTransitionManger::FlushTransitions so there
shouldn't be any orphaned events but for completeness it seems best to add this
now. (Later, when we tick transitions from their timeline we will need this.)
This patch introduces a separate flag to CSSTransition for tracking if a
transition is newly-finished so we can correctly dispatch the transitionend
event. Although, this may seem to be redundant with the "IsFinishedTransition"
we also track, that state will soon be removed in bug 1181392 and hence this
flag will be needed then.
Note that Animation already has flags mIsPreviousStateFinished and
mFinishedAtLastComposeStyle which would appear to be similar however,
- mIsPreviousStateFinished will be removed in bug 1178665 and is updated more
often than we queue events so it is not useful here.
- mFinishedAtLastComposeStyle is used to determine if we can throttle a style
update and is also updated more frequently than we queue events and hence
can't be used here.
Once we guarantee one call to Tick() per frame we may be able to simplify this
by tracking "state on last tick" but for now we need this additional flag on
CSSTransition. CSSAnimation has a similar flag for this
(mPreviousPhaseOrIteration) which we may be able to unify at the same point.
This patch prepares the way for script-generated events by making
event dispatch a separate process that happens after sampling animations.
This will allow us to sample animations from their associated timeline
(removing the need for a further manager to tracker script-generated
animations).
Furthermore, once we sample animations from timelines the order in which they
are sampled is likely to be more or less random so by making event dispatch at
separate step, we have an opportunity to sort the events and dispatch in
a consistent and sensible order. It also ensures that event callbacks will
not be run until all animations (including transitions) have been updated
ensuring they see a consistent view of timing properties.
This patch only affects event handling for CSS animations. Transitions will
be dealt with in a subsequent patch.
