We currently have mozilla::StyleAnimation as well as nsStyleAnimation. This
patch renames StyleAnimation back to ElementAnimation.
Although ElementAnimation is very similar to ElementAnimations, in the near
future we expect to retire ElementAnimations and replace it with a common
AnimationSet-like structure that is covers the features of ElementAnimations and
ElementTransitions.
This patch takes StyleAnimation and makes it ref-counted heap object. This
should allow us to store StyleAnimation and its subclasses (transitions only
currently) in a consistent fashion (an array of base-class pointers).
Furthermore, this will be helpful if we want these things to be pointed to
from Javascript objects that may, for example, preserve their lifetime beyond
that of the element that currently owns them.
This patch also introduces a typedef for an array of refptrs to StyleAnimation
objects (and similarly for the subclass ElementPropertyTransition) to simplify
the code somewhat.
level="parent" popup windows can sometimes return a non-null parent, which is
their owner window, but their bounds are relative to the screen (previously
assumed to be the owner window origin).
We need a basic representation of animations from which we can derive subclasses
to represent specific cases such as transitions. For now we will retrofit
ElementAnimation for that purpose hence renaming it to StyleAnimation.
This patch removes the "using namespace mozilla::layers" line from
AnimationCommon.cpp since the unified build system concatenates several files
together before compiling making using declarations like this leak into other
files potentially creating ambiguities. Previously, when we were calling
ElementAnimation, 'Animation', there were ambiguities between
mozilla::layers::Animation and this new 'Animation' class. In general, it is
probably a good idea to limit the scope of these using declarations so I've kept
that change.
As part of moving towards more shared data structures for animation, this patch
makes ElementPropertyTransition inherit from ElementAnimation. At the same time
we switch from storing the target property, start/end values, start time, delay,
and timing function on the transition to the corresponding location in
ElementAnimation.
Since nsDisplayList::AddAnimationsAndTransitionsToLayer was already doing this
conversion in order to create animations to pass to the compositor thread, we
can remove the conversion code from there and just use the ElementAnimation data
structures as-is.
A number of assertions are added to verify that transitions are set up as
expected (namely, they have only a single property-animation with a single
segment). As we move to more generic handling of animations and transitions
these assertions should disappear.
