I think the HTML5 parser now fulfills the criteria that was discussed on Monday for landing it on mozilla-central preffed off. (That is, the dogfood blocker crashes are gone.)
Bug 468708 isn't preffable and needs to land first as discussed previously.
The plan is still to merge the history from the HTML5 parsing repo as opposed to just landing one big patch, right?
Who should I ask to r and sr?
Should the snapshot of the Java source corresponding to the C++ version of the parser be checked into some corner of mozilla-central to make sure that the 'preferred form for making modifications' travels with the C++ code?
We definitely want to check in the java source that corresponds to the C++ code that is checked in. The Java source is what according to GPL is considered 'source code'.
Does the C++ code contain the comments that is in the java source? We still haven't really resolved the whole issue of if we want to eventually be modifying the C++ code, or if we're planning on keeping the java source around forever.
As for reviews. I'd say mrbkap and me at least. Possibly more people depending on the actual diff.
I'll try to find you on irc so we can figure out the issue of merging or having a single patch committed.

OK. Do you have a suggestion for the directory location in the tree? Would it be ok to put it as a sibling to the parser src/ as java/ or somesuch?
> Does the C++ code contain the comments that is in the java source?
It doesn't. Copying over javadocs would be easy. Copying over inline comments would be painful, since the current AST for the Java files doesn't retain them.

I suggest keeping the Java source around.

Should there be a bugzilla-attached diff for a landing of this size or would reviewers read the source from hg?

Applied all three patches (including the one for bug 468708), and, after a little tweaking, it works! At first glance, the 468708 patch seems to have removed a couple of method prototypes that the big patch assumes:

Any arguments against parser/html5/? Seems roughly analogous to parser/expat/.
Also, I didn't notice the java sources in http://hg.mozilla.org/users/mrbkap_mozilla.com/html5parsing, though I might just be overlooking them. Is there a current public version available?

The reason why the parser lives under content/ is that it needed to link against stuff that is readily visible under content/ but a constant pain under parser/. Furthermore, I lacked the right build system clue to make parser/ see everything content/ sees and link into the same .so as content/.
Initially, I tried to set things up under parser/.

The Java code is available for svn checkout from http://svn.versiondude.net/whattf/htmlparser/trunk/
The patches on this bug are already stale. It seems to me that maintaining bugzilla patches that are larger than bugzilla's limit is inconvenient. Should I just attach a small placeholder file to set review flag on and let reviewers signal at which hg rev they started reviewing?

Currently over 1.5 MB but under 2.0 MB. If a future patch contains all the Java code, too, the total size probably goes to somewhere around 4 MB to 5 MB.
Do reviewers prefer huge patch attachments or version control pointers?

New patch with major tokenizer loop refactoring for bug 483158.
This patch is against trunk. I deliberately haven't bothered syncing this with the latest iteration of bug 468708, since it seems more useful to land it first and then just sync the HTML5 repo with trunk.

Wholly agreed.

Seems like too many new and delete calls, also PRUnichar read/write arrays instead of const arrays. Fixable in the translator? We really need to avoid going to the heap for what should be LIFO and static storage.
Anyone have a clue about code footprint and pageload performance?

roc argues we may not see enough new/delete traffic to matter; he could be right. My comment 17 was based on direct experience with similar code in Gecko and JS. But it may be different this time -- so measurement of static and dynamic footprint, and Tp and other metrics, is the important thing.
Looks like good code, attractive to have in a canonical Java form in the long run: perhaps some day we could translate to managed "JS++" or "C--" to get real memory safety and other properties.
Do we really need the ns prefix nowadays?

> Seems like too many new and delete calls,
New/delete is hit mostly for the nsStrings for each attribute value and for each stack node in the tree builder.
The stack nodes can't be heap-allocated, because the call stack goes away and the tree builder stack stays.
Attribute values once they get into the attribute holder can't be heap-allocated for the same reason. However, in principle, the nsStrings that point to the backing buffers should be stack-allocated before the string ends up in the attribute holder and the attribute value array in the attribute holder could be a Gecko-specific string array.
That they aren't has been recognized as an issue even prior to any implementation work. However, attempts to avoid hitting new/delete for nsString have been deferred in order to get the whole thing otherwise working.
The main issue is that the Java code assumes it can return a string as the real return value of a method. cjones and I speculated on what would happen if one tried to return an nsString by value when you know for sure the backing buffer has no other references. Maybe the simplest solution is there. I have tried to avoid getting carried away with implementing more complex transformations in the Java-to-C++ translator than the transformations that are required to get the whole thing running and passing tests first.
As for the appearance of hitting new/delete per tag token or attribute name, that code path is taken only for element and attribute names that aren't pre-interned. All well-known names are pre-interned. Thus, optimizing away new/delete in the not-well-know name case didn't seem worthwhile at this point.
The UTF-16 buffer wrappers need to stay around when the call stack goes away, so they are heap-allocated. However, the IO driver doesn't delete the last buffer but recycles it.
> also PRUnichar read/write arrays instead of const arrays. Fixable in the translator?
I'm not using const in the generated code at all, because I couldn't get a confirmation that either GCC or MS Visual C++ puts const stuff on an actual locked memory page. It didn't seem useful to have const correctness only for static checking of the generated code without confirmed effects on memory segmentation.
It seems to me that making the translator infer constness wouldn't be feasible, but it would be feasible to annotate stuff manually with @Const and have it translate to const if constness is desired.
> We really need to avoid going to the heap for what should be LIFO and static storage.
A lot of the stuff that is conceptually static is heap-allocated at app startup, because the advice I got was that it wouldn't have been practical to try to get the compiler arrange the right structures at compile time.
> Anyone have a clue about code footprint and pageload performance?
No clue about code footprint. My local benchmarking says pageload should average to being a bit better than trunk, but individual pages can be a bit worse. Actual Talos-run Tp is broken, which it my top concern now aside from reviews.

Making a guess based on Shark profiling, I guess that there's more to win at first by tweaking how exactly notifications get flushed. The time spent in frame construction in response to notifications is very significant compared to actual parsing. In fact, even the act of appending to the DOM before notifying shows up on profiles.
Also, another potential easy perf win would be bug 482920.
> But it may be different this time -- so measurement of static and

Yeah, I'm trying to work out the Tp problem, but it's hard to guess what goes wrong in the black box when locally things are fine.

Translating to "JS++" in the future seems feasible. (The parser core already translates to unreadable JS using GWT.)

I wrote the part that generated the nsHtml5 prefixes before the mozilla C++ namespace discussion took place. It's possible to change this. Should I pursue changing this as a gating factor to landing?

Further, I noticed that this was discussed on IRC while it was night time in Finland, so I'll address the points from IRC, too:
> < roc> a reasonable question is how debuggable the generated code setup is
The generated code works fine in gdb. The structure is the same as the structure of the Java code, so it's super-easy to locate the original source line when you are ready to fix.
I want to do some AST rewriting to make the tokenizer use more goto and less switch, but the result should still be obviously recognizable comparing it to the Java code.

Not really. The human-readable structure of the C++ code came out of the translation method "for free".
What could be improved would be carrying over Javadocs (easy) and carrying over /* */ comments that are between statements (requires hacking the Java-to-AST parser). The #1 reason I haven't done this is that I've tried hard to focus on the post-compilation functional qualities of the C++ version instead of getting carried away with polishing the translator.
Carrying over // comments would be a pain, so it would make more sense to convert those to /* */ between statements if there are any we really want to carry over.
> < mrbkap> And he's been dealing with and fixing bugs in the generated
code for at least 6 months now.
I've been dealing with bugs in the hand-written Gecko-specific code and somewhat in hand-written parser core code that's only relevant to memory management in C++. The translation step hasn't introduced any bugs to speak of.
> < stuart> mrbkap: wouldn't that time be better spent fixing the parser? :/
The translator isn't a time sink. The translated code isn't a time sink.
The top two time consumers have been:
1) Tryserver Mac builds having utterly bogus symbols that lead me astray when there were crashes.
2) Crashes that I could have avoided if I had opted to generate automatic refcounting for tree builder stack nodes instead of doing it manually. On surface it seemed so simple that I naively decided on doing it manually. (The issue of managing this memory would have come up even in a from-scratch C++ implementation, so I think this can't be blamed on the translation.)
3) Various Gecko integration issues that have nothing to do with where the tokenizer and abstract tree builder came from.
The translator itself has been pretty easy and fast to write and it gives the tokenizer and tree builder in C++ "for free" since the Java effort was already sunk cost. I think time-wise the translator has been a win and the issues have been in code that I'd have had to write anyway had I written the whole thing from scratch in C++.

I'd say maintaining two parser would be a higher cost than maintaining the translator. The translator was really much easier to write and maintain than it sounds, because the Java-code is so C-ish to begin with and the off-the-shelf Java AST package came with an AST-to-Java serializer that was easy to tweak to emit C++. It's nowhere near anything like writing a generic Java-to-C++ translator. It's totally specific to this project.

Having the logic of the parser core in an Eclipse-tractable form has been a major win.

Actually, the stack nodes could be passed by value and go into an array of stack nodes instead of going into an array of pointers to stack nodes if we can convince Hixie to eliminate table taint.
The current design assumes that stack nodes have one bit of writable data. (In the current impl., they don't actually have a writable bit. I took the writable bit out per Hixie's IRC remarks and my own wishes, but then the writable bit stayed in the spec and I've dragged my feet in the hope that I can get Hixie to take it out.)
But anyway, getting rid of table taint would give more degrees of code design freedom here and for speculative parsing, too. Gecko's old parser has table taint but WebKit has gotten away with not having it. I haven't yet seen a real-world page that broke in a user-noticeable way due to lack of table taint.

Comment 22•15 years ago

Hmm. Or maybe one could live dangerously and have the taint bit out of sync in the copies whose taint bit is never read anyway and still pass the whole stack node by value.
We really should get rid of table taint. If we can show that it simplifies the parser design and that it doesn't appear to break any pages, I don't see why we couldn't get rid of it.
I'd actually suggest that we remove taint asap so that we can get testing on if that causes any problems.

Oh, one more thing about stack nodes: Stack nodes need to have object identity so that you can check if a given stack node on the list of active formatting elements is also on the stack. If the stack weren't heap-allocated objects, they'd need to have some kind of serial number or similar ugliness to maintain identity across the two arrays.

The HTML5 repo currently doesn't have taint. It matches what WebKit does for foster-parenting text nodes.
I'll ping Hixie again about taint, although the reason I gave earlier today is a bit shaky and sharing stack nodes across speculations is a more relevant reason.

Sounds doable, we've had nsTAdoptingString or ancient XPIDLString stuff for this kind of buffer hand-off. Could be done in a separate bug for sure.

Right, I saw that pretty quickly and adverted to it over IRC>
I wondered about the use of binary search but didn't look further. Seems like you could perfect-hash your way to O(1) lookup time, but it probably doesn't matter at this point.

Heap allocations are surely not write-protected, but const statics are in a readonly segment. This is where const strings and vtbls go; we confirmed this long ago on the then-current toolchains (2002?).

Not if it's inconvenient, but it seems easy enough. Mainly want to build on the precedent, get away from perpetuating "ns". It's too easy to copy it and never get back to cleaning it up. OTOH we could have a flag day and change everything at once. Your call.

By hand ref-counting is a loser, yeah.

Seems like grounds for bug filing -- don't mean to nag, do mean to encourage you to file, even if the bugs are somewhat design oriented and vague. Or start newsgroup threads.
As a forcing function for architecture and code cleanup, the new parser may also deliver considerable benefits.

I hear this! Outside of this bug, perhaps in mail or a newsgroup, I would be interested to learn more about how you are using Eclipse, what refactorings it helps automate, things like that. Thanks,

@Henri Do you remember your rationale for removing the select/optgroup nodes from these refetests?
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=382713&action=diff#a/content/html/document/reftests/bug448564-2_well-formed.html_sec1
Bigger question: what tests should the HTML5 parser pass? A strict superset of the tests the HTML4 parser is subject to? What is that set, exactly? It's larger than just tests/parser/htmlparser, since lots of other tests are affected by parser behavior, e.g. reftests. Is it okay to throw out or weaken existing tests in order to obtain a set of tests that both parsers pass?

Yeah, I wanted to invent a perfect hash function, but then I decided to avoid spending time on it while the exact list of values that it needs to hash isn't set in stone.

What should become const statics? I wanted the named character table and the pre-interned token tables to go into the read-only segment, but when it turned out that making the well-known names truly static wasn't doable because static atoms aren't truly static and the name objects point to atoms, I gave up on both the making the name objects static and making the named character table static.

Having TraceMonkey on or off doesn't matter for parsing the SVG Tiger into a native rendered DOM, IIRC. So either the code doesn't JIT well or it's the stuff on the other side of the JS/native boundary that is more significant.

Per HTML5, a lone optgroup does not make the parser infer a select. The HTML5 behavior matches WebKit, Opera and IE. The old Gecko parser is alone with the select inferring behavior.

My understanding of the criteria for landing it preffed off was that it didn't need to pass particular tests as long as it doesn't bother the trunk passing tests with the old parser active.
As for turning the pref on, I'd expect the parser to have to pass the tree builder tests of the html5lib suite, the Java version to pass the html5lib tokenizer suite (probably not worthwhile to build a C++ harness for that) and the browser as a whole to pass existing reftests and mochitests except ones that are identified as contradicting HTML5 and where the HTML5 behavior is preferred. (This is just my expectation.)

About Tp numbers: If Tp didn't somehow time out, local testing suggests the HTML5 parser (currently without the contemplated goto optimizations) should give a 3% improvement to Tp (4% improvement to min times and 1% improvement to max times).

I'm only seeing small differences between the perf of Firefox 3.5b99, HTML5 builds with HTML5 active and with HTML5 builds with HTML5 inactive.
However, on tryserver, builds with no HTML5 parser at all are green but even HTML5 builds that have the HTML5 parser inactive are insanely slow when running the old parser.
This seems like a blocking issue. (I feel terrible for not trying this configuration on the tryserver before. I had only tried HTML5 on and same point on trunk without any HTML5 code in the build at all.)
There's something about the latent presence of the HTML5 parser that slows things down on the tryserver even when the HTML5 parser isn't run (only its pseudo-static memory is initialized at app startup). The most reasonable explanation I can come up with is that the different set of static atoms makes the atom table slow somehow. But if that were the explanation, I should be seeing the same slowdown locally, which I don't.
(I'm in the process of verifying with printfs that the latent HTML5 parser really doesn't get run and doesn't get its statics initialized more than once.)
Have you tried running the tryserver-generated build locally?

Fortunately, this was a misdiagnosis my part. The last orange Tp run had HTML5 parsing enabled. Tp is green with latent HTML5 parsing. I'll now keep the HTML5 repo in the preffed-off state in order to simulate the situation of having the parser landed on trunk preffed off.
However, with latent HTML5 parser mochitest times out. Now investigating that instead.
I have verified that the HTML5 parser is indeed latent on the tryserver in those builds and only participates in pseudo-static initialization and shutdown and well as in the global atom table load factor.
(In reply to comment #35)
> Have you tried running the tryserver-generated build locally?
Yes, I have. (Both HTML5 enabled and latent.) The numbers are similar to locally-built builds.
Since my dev machine has more RAM than tryserver talos, I'll try running on a RAM-limited Linux VM image next.

I don't know really. What should I do with the tests for bug 448564? (Indeed these tests went orange with the latest patch with the HTML5 parser turned off.)
It seems clear that when the HTML5 is turned on, the <optgroup> testing there will be obsolete, but until then, how do I drive the test failures of the HTML5 parser down without weakening tests for the old parser as long as it's on-by-default?
(I'm assuming that it's uncontroversial that HTML5 doesn't imply <select> on <optgroup> since that behavior is a Gecko-specific oddity.)
I think we should just weaken the tests for the old parser. Trying to do something better is going to be overcomplicated and a waste of time.

In order to proceed on the issue of making the HTML5 parsing-enabled app simple to distribute under the GPL, I suggest that we start by including only the .java files that are strictly necessary to provide the preferred form for making modifications to the generated C++ but placing them into such a directory structure that it's super-simple to just copy the entire Java source tree on top of the files and have the same paths work. This way we can also check in more of the Java source tree later without having to make a decision about the rest of it now.
The structure of the Java source tree is htmlparser/src/nu/validator/htmlparser/impl/*.java. This needs to be rooted somewhere. I suggest rooting it near the C++ files which would yield
content/html/parser/htmlparser/src/nu/validator/htmlparser/impl/*.java
(That's ugly, but the alternatives I can think of are all worse somehow.)
Is this OK? Can all platforms that need to host the source tree handle paths of that length?
According to licensing at mozilla.org, the translator doesn't have to accompany the source from licensing POV, so this bug doesn't need to block on checking in the translator. I opened bug 499141 about checking it in (assuming we want it in).

Removing bug 486123 and bug 495407 from deps, because Tp is green when the HTML5 parser is preffed off.
First off, why does the new parser live in /content rather than in /parser?
And why not just place the javafiles in something like
<path for C++ code>/javasrc/*.java
What's the advantage of having the full java path? (please keep in mind i'm not a java guy)

Urg, I'd really prefer not to have default values on interfaces. Why do we need this second bool at all? What we do elsewhere is to do the mutation with aNotify=false, and then manually notify. (Though I think for removals we'd manually notify first, and then do the mutation).

I'd imagine people can pass all sorts of nodes to this function as I think we expose it to content directly (not just through innerHTML). I believe it lives on nsIDOMNSRange.

Need to take a look at these more in detail. Once we enable the parser by default, might be good to make these tests test that things are how they should be in the new world, rather than making the tests weaker.
See also comment 42, I think we'll want the new parser files to live in parser/html5 or some such. We can and should still link it with the content code though.

+1 on the above, and stronger on favoring parser/html5parser or whatever the name should be. Move the current htmlparser to a to-be-removed name if you can, so we can retire it and give the most straightforward and version-independent name to the new parser.

Just parser/html works, leaving parser/htmlparser as the overlong name to retire.

In general we need to do something about these enormous lists. At the very least, I think we should use macro-tricks a'la our atom lists to avoid having to repeat the same list multiple times. This will also keep the actual code in files that are readable.
That way we could even remove it from the patch and keep the patch readable :)

Why don't we want documents loaded with other commands to be loaded using the HTML 5 parser? Granted, I'm not sure if we ever use the html parser for non-view documents given that DOMParser and XMLHttpRequest only does XML documents currently.

Hmm.. I'm not really a big fan of this. Can't you just call memmove directly? I suspect if you use nsTArray you won't need a lot of these.

We might want to put these into nsGkAtomsList.h, that'll work fine as long as we link the parser into gklayout. But it's fine to keep separately for now.

I take it this is a generated perfect-hash function?
There's a number of cases like this:
static jArray<PRUnichar,PRInt32> SCRIPT_ARR;
Unfortunately compilers aren't reliable enough at initializing static objects, so this won't work cross all platforms. Static variables that don't require constructors (such as a pointer to an array) is ok though.

Could use a map macro, e.g.
#define LIST(_) \
_(tag1) \
... \
_(tagN)
where tag1 through tagN are written out as literals, and then you call LIST with different macro names for the _ parameter. Or (better if you want to write down severa facts about each tag), use something js/src/jsopcode.tbl and its #include consumers, who define custom OPDEF macros.

Because /content and /parser are in different shared libraries and changing things so that they link into the same shared library and so that parser stuff sees headers that are supposed to be /content-private were outside my understanding of the build system. When it became obvious that no one else would make the change for me in a timely fashion and that trying to make change myself while totally lacking clue about the build system would have been a time sink, I moved the parser under /content to get going.

The advantage of having the full Java path is that you can copy the whole Java parser source distribution over the directories and have the same directory structure for the key files that are used for translator input. As for why the Java parser source distribution has those horrible telescoping directories, that's the Java convention and not following the convention would be even worse than following the convention, since tools assume the convention.
<path for C++ code>/javasrc/*.java works if we just want to make sure the .java files get delivered and don't want to make the delivery method Java IDE friendly. (For IDE-friendliness, you'd need more files than the ones that are used for translation input anyway.)

Because the mutation event and notification code is intertwined into the RemoveChildAt implementation and getting it out of there would be more complex. I added another boolean per bug 484988 comment 1. I added the default on my own initiative in order to minimize the changes to callers.

I tried doing that first, but the adoption agency algorithm caused double frame construction.

I tried both ways. Didn't work right with the frame constructor.

Doesn't that code offer similar level of coverage for weird cases as the old code? Or did you mean the answer to "can this ever happen?" is "yes" and the comment should just go away?

I think parser/html makes more sense than parser/html5 given that the parser is meant for all of text/html.

What's repeated multiple times?
This comes back to the question of keeping the translator super-simple vs. making the translator more complex in order to make the output nicer. I've tried to keep the translator super-simple so far to avoid sinking a lot of time into the translator.
Is this a blocker for landing preffed off?

View source, feed content sanitizing, clipboard paste and bookmark import with the new parser aren't done yet. This is just to get the testing clock started with the Web-exposed functionality.

These arrays get returned by methods. Returning by value yields the right semantics, because Java arrays have immutable length. Perhaps the right length passing semantics with the same code structure could be achieved by passing nsTArrays by value if they were never resized, but wouldn't it be more confusing to use a template designed for resizable arrays while making sure that they don't actually get resized in ways that break passing the length by value?
The second argument to the jArray template is ugly. Up-front, I wanted the translator to be extensible to target non-Gecko environments and I wanted to make the hand-written support template not to need editing in order to work in a non-Gecko environment. By now, it's obvious that non-generated support files need hand-tweaking in order to support non-NSPR types, so I guess the second template argument should just go away and PRInt32 be hard-coded into the template file.
> Or even a simple C-array?
When the code doesn't actually care about the length or the array, the translator generates simple C arrays. (The Java arrays whose length doesn't matter are annotated with @NoLength for this purpose.)

These are needed, because the translator is a super-simple syntactic transform that doesn't even have a symbol table. If the translator knew the types of the variables it deals with, I could make it generate the right memmoves directly. The nsHtml5ArrayCopy stuff leaves the type-based dispatch to the C++ compiler.
I guess there's now enough demand for the kind of transformations that aren't simple type-unaware syntactic rewriting that it would make sense for me to spend time to make the translator type-aware to enable more advanced transformations.

I had them in nsGkAtomList initially until I was advised I could have a separate atom list. I don't remember the details of that discussion.

Oops. I'll fix.

I thought some more about the issue of hitting new/delete for stack nodes. What I said earlier was pretty badly bogus. It should be possible to introduce different node types for the stack and the list of formatting elements and have both the stack and the list be arrays of those nodes rather than pointers to nodes. The node identity can be the object identity of the wrapped element node. I *think* this would work with or without taint.
I'd like to start the Web compat testing clock (i.e. land the parser land preffed off) before transforming the tree builder like this, though.

The remaining test failures with the current patch are:
* One nsComponentManagerImpl leaks on Windows
* mochitest-chrome times out on Linux
Is the nsComponentManagerImpl leak the leak that's causing cycles collector slowness and ultimately talos timing out?
Assignee | ||
Comment 54•15 years ago

The nsComponentManagerImpl leak is with HTML5 parser preffed off, so it should be unrelated to the cycle collector code in the HTML5 parser.
I merged with a known-green point from the trunk after the last comment and now mochitest-plain timed out (with the old parser). Any advice on how to troubleshoot?

I'm guessing you made the parser a cycle collection participant to help track down the leak. Is that a permanent design choice? I ask because the cycle collector is main thread only, which means cycle collection could complicate off-main thread parsing.

If it is, I didn't find it. Bugs that I checked about leaks in the nsComponentManagerImpl area seem ancient and don't mention random orange.
> Did it appear on all try machines for you, or just some?
Only on Windows.
The timeout on Linux turned out to be known random.
I'm not sure yet if the orange on Mac was known random.

It's not a permanent design choice. In fact, I had tried to avoid implementing more temporary measures that would get thrown away with the off-the-main-thread move. However, evidence of the HTML5 Tp problems points to a leak, so I figured the cycle collector might help. It didn't.
Does your nsComponentManagerImpl leak look like this, from my nothing-to-do-with-HTML-parser build?

I'm warming up to this patch like a snake on a Texas highway -- I hope a big semi doesn't run me over.
This can land once reviewed. We want the Java code too, hosted sensibly. Under parser/html if you please -- DLL boundaries shouldn't stop us, we are the masters and they are the servants.

No need to do the nullcheck. delete on null is safe.
Can you turn these into nsAutoPtr/nsAutoArrayPtrs instead?

Hmm.. it's scary to have two different code paths here. Are you sure they can never yield different objects? When can you get into this with aDoc not having a scriptglobalobject?
At the very least we should ensure that aDoc and aContainer are each others container resp. document.

Could you add a comment describing what the above is trying to do. I take it this is trying to deal with nested document.writes which is quite a complicated algorithm to wrap your head around, so comments would definitely help.

You need to make the declaration of |ready| be #ifdef DEBUG, otherwise non-debug builds will warn about an unused variable.

Can't you deal with this when creating the script elements instead? To avoid having to break out of the tokenizer on every script element during innerHTML parsing.
I guess it doesn't make that big of a difference perf-wise?

That seems like an overkill, because these objects are only ever held from one place. If we want to avoid manual new/delete here, mTokenizer and mTreeBuilder could, in principle, be allocated as parts of the nsHtml5Parser object instead of hitting new/delete and having them behind a pointer.

I have no idea. CVS blame says this code was put in by pollman for bug 77390 (r=harishd, sr=jst). I simply cargo-cult copied that code from the old parser. In fact, there's more in the script execution choreography that involves undocumented implicit important API contracts that I don't understand precisely. So far, things have failed when I've tried to streamline things instead of copying the old stuff exactly.
It'll be "interesting" to verify that the script execution choreography actually is black-box equivalent to what HTML5 says and figuring out which side needs to change and how if they don't. (Bug 482913)

What's the right way to do this? (I don't see an obvious API for querying the containment directly. Do I need to walk the docshelltreeitems manually, etc.?)

No, there may still be unparsed data in the buffer chain if the caller did:
document.write("<script></script>trailing data");
document.close();
Even without trailing data, posting a continue event ensures that onload is fired from the event loop rather than from within a script.

I don't see why it wouldn't be honored per spec. Opera honors it. IE8, Gecko's old parser and WebKit don't. Maybe the spec should change here?

It's only for handling <noscript> elements. I'm not sure if the code can be reached if scripting is off. I assumed that an extension running as chrome could reach it even if the document has scripting turned off, so I put it in just in case.

I could, but then the non-fragment code path would run an additional branch to check if it is on the fragment path. It seems more consistent to run the same tree builder code and put the special case here.
> I guess it doesn't make that big of a difference perf-wise?
I'd expect this not to be a perf problem as written, because it only happens on </script> in innerHTML, which probably isn't too common. Also, this kind of falling of the fast track already happens for every carriage return.

If you can get away with that, I think that would be preferable. At the very least, I agree with sicking here -- especially with the Reset API on nsIParser, the potential for accidental leaks seems high.
FWIW, in hand-written C++ code, the prevailing style for the past few years (as long as I've been working on Gecko) has been to eschew manual refcounting in favor of nsRefPtr/nsAutoPtr with the assumption that compilers will generate decent code (and that humans forget to do stuff like that way more easily than compilers!).

Yeah. In cases like this, it's up to the macro to do proper parenthesizing. Also, the parentheses will be distracting in the console if the asserts do hit.

For what it's worth, we have code in the tree specifically to not honor this. I haven't done the CVS archeology yet to figure out why, though.

I'd expect this to run copy/pasting HTML into a noscript document, but I haven't tested.

Blame me for not nuking it earlier (I did finally get rid of it in nsParser.cpp recently).

Maybe parser/html/ can be put into the layout DLL without moving parser/htmlparser/ for now. I'll try doing it that way.

I got this almost done but didn't get it done all the way today. Still have an "incomplete type" error. I went for tree builder living inside tokenizer and tokenizer living inside parser.

Going forward, I think refcounting stack nodes should go away and refcounting element nodes and atoms in the generated code should probably migrate to smart pointers.

The case where it mostly seems weird to me to honor <meta>s in document.write is when someone is document.writing a whole document. In that case <meta> charsets makes no sense at all.
Given that most implementations are consistent here, and we do it on purpose, I'd say the spec should change yes.

mSniffingBuffer and mMetaScanner looks like they can be nsAuto(Array)Ptrs too.

I'm pretty sure we have BOM detecting code elsewhere in our code, could you perhaps reuse that? Not a huge deal I guess.

Won't this cause us to post continue events over and over (consuming 100% CPU) until ReadyToCallDidBuildModelImpl returns true (i.e. until all scripts have finished loading).
IIRC the current code instead continues parsing once the last script is doing executing. See
http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/content/base/src/nsContentSink.cpp#399
Testcases were submitted in bug 461555.

Can both mScriptElement and mNeedsCharsetSwitch be set? If not, might be worth asserting that.
Also, should you perhaps do |continue;| after calling ExecuteScript()? Feels like all sorts of state can be caused by the script executing.

Might be worth using #ifdef GATHER_DOCWRITE_STATISTICS or something like that instead. So it's clear what the code is for.

So per current HTML spec this doesn't do exactly the right thing. If a parent of the script element has been removed from the document, the script won't execute here. However the HTML spec says it should. There was a recent thread about this on the HTML list.

Documentation in general is pretty random/non-existant here. For functions from nsIParser/nsIContentSink no comment is needed since comments should be existing in nsIParser.h/nsIContentSink.h. Though it's great to just mentions which ones have a useless/no-op implementation. And no need to carry forward useless @update comments.
For functions that are new, please write complete documentation about what the function does and what the various arguments are.

This is a drive-by comment, and may not apply... Just posting an event may not be enough here since modal dialogs etc process events, so a nested document.write() that causes a continue event to be posted and then does alert("foo") could process that event from within the script.

Are you forgetting to use the offset argument?

This copies twice, should be doable to just copy once if you use CopyUTF16toUTF8 and nsIAtom::getUTF8String

Won't this return true if string is a prefix of lowerCaseLiteral too? That seems surprising given the function name. I think you want to return strPtr != end at the end.

Hum, this is very suboptimal. And we can't really do it off the main thread either. Couldn't you simply set the attributes on the real element for now? I guess I'm fine either way for now.

mConstrainSize makes us not split text nodes into 4k chunks. Functionality-wise not needed since the scriptelement will join all textnodes if there's multiple. However it's unneccesary perf-wise to split the nodes up.

Need to fix this soon so we can get testing on SVG-in-HTML, though fine with initial landing without it.

Shouldn't you be adding |, PR_FALSE| here?
In general not all comments needs to be fixed before initial landing. Feel free to email or grab me on irc if there's something you'd prefer to fix later.
In general the most important thing is having the files live in the correct locations, and that there's more comments. I want to understand the code better as soon as possible, but in order for that to happen there needs to be more comments.
The other thing is ensuring that all files have proper line-endings, since that's much harder to catch once the files are in the tree.

I wanted to put those into the data segment of the library first. Unfortunately, "static" atoms aren't properly static const. If "static" atoms were changed into having their addresses frozen at link time, I think it would make sense to revisit the pseudo-static approach with pre-interned element and attribute names.

This is already fixed in the repo for stuff other than the named character tables (which are generated by a different generator code path that I haven't fixed yet). I wanted to address pending review comments more thoroughly before rediffing the patch.

Gecko defines string constants all over without rolling them all into one big array. If the backing memory of the arrays is static const, what would be the benefit of rolling all the backing arrays into one big one?

That's different. When the document has been created with document.open(), the encoding is "confident" to begin with and <meta charset> can't change it--document.written or not.
> Given that most implementations are consistent here, and we do it on purpose,
> I'd say the spec should change yes.
What about the case where part of the meta is document.written but the token ends in the network stream (the last '>') is in the network stream? Given how the charset switch is now written into the spec (and implemented), it would be annoying to have to taint the tag token as document.written in that case. (It's easier to check if the buffer that contains the closing '>' has been document.written.)
I made the parser ignore the charset meta if the '>' falls into synchronous document.write(). Filed bug 500611 about the rest.

Made them into such. Also made mTokenizer and mTreeBuilder into nsAutoPtrs. Trying to put the classes inside one another became annoying with circular dependencies in inlined methods. And there was a risk of having to undo some of it in the off-the-main-thread world. (Also, in my "overkill" comment earlier, I confused nsAutoPtrs and nsRefPtrs.)

It seems complicated and invasive to plug external code here, considering that the BOM sniffing is incremental and succeeds with minimal buffering here.

The general premise of the bug seems wrong per HTML5 spec and the behavior of IE. (Per spec, document.write from bad places blows away the document. IE also blows away the document.)

It's important that the code runs through if (mBlocked) afterwards. It'll hit continue a bit later if neither mBlocked nor mSuspend in true.

It seems hard to fix this and to deal with bitrot of this patch at the same time when the old and new parser share script execution code. I suggest landing this first and then fixing script execution HTML5 correctness as a follow-up bug. Filed bug 500612.

In principle, yes. Fixed.
However, it seems that it might as well return true always, because the parser won't honor the interrupt anyway during doc.write or in the fragment case. Not returning true seems to save a break of out the tokenizer loop, though.

I hadn't thought of that case. However, if it is a problem, the old parser most likely has the problem, too. I filed bug 500616 just in case.

I thought the plan was to try to change this on the XML side as well. If the event really needs to fire in sync, it'll have to break out of the tokenizer loop here and inhibit document.write.

Since it's impractical to back out a push of this size if things go wrong on the tinderboxen, I'm attaching a patch that keeps the parser in the build but makes it run no code (not even its static initialization which is otherwise run even when the parser is preffed off).

Is it useful to file bugs on the new parser yet? When turning the pref on, I seem to crash on virtually every page.
Yes, please do file bugs asap. The reason we wanted it landed was to get testing.

Comment 90•15 years ago

I've been tasked with devising/proposing a plan to incorporate the java source files into mozilla-central. As a start, I've posted a patch that adds some new export scripts to the validator.nu htmlparser repository:
http://bugzilla.validator.nu/show_bug.cgi?id=592
The high bit is that we need to include, at minimum, some sort of standalone version of the Java-to-C++ translator so that mozilla developers can hack on the java sources and easily regenerate the corresponding C++ files.
Henri, please let me know if there's anything in the patch you don't like, and feel free to modify it as you see fit. After all, it is your repo.
Comment 91•15 years ago

I had a realization today. All the HTML5 parsing-related java files live in Subversion repositories, and one nice thing about Subversion is that it allows you to check out an arbitrary subdirectory of a respository. So, instead of exporting the java source files from some external svn working directory into the mozilla-central source tree, it makes a lot more sense to pull just the necessary directories directly from the appropriate repository.
This patch by itself does not contain the java files (it would have been almost 2MB if it did), but if you read parser/html/java/README.txt you'll see that it's easy to fetch them (make sync), build the translator (make), and perform the translation (make translate). The 'sync' target fetches not only the necessary java sources but also the appropriate license files.
This does introduce a Subversion dependency for those who want to hack on the HTML5 parser, but only for them. Building mozilla-central is still possible without Subversion, since these Makefiles are independent of the existing build system. At some point we may decide to eliminate the Subversion dependency by committing the java sources to mozilla-central, but I'll leave that for a future code review.

I'd prefer to get rid of Subversion. The reason I haven't properly pursued getting rid of Subversion, yet, is that I've focused on working on the parser.
Subversion is a pain with linear history, the committer policy issues of a central repo and mysterious error messages when Debian packages of svn binaries are horked. I'd like to migrate the repo from svn to hg to make some of the pain go away. Specifically, I'd like to make it possible for people who want to port the parser to non-Gecko C++ environments to work in a non-linear fashion and without having to set up commit access to the CVSDude repo from get-go. (There's interest in porting it to C++ STL as opposed to NSPR and porting in to CPython and C Ruby library back ends.)
(I don't think it makes sense to make m-c the primary hg repo hosting the .java files for non-Gecko uses, because m-c is huge and comes with its own policy issues for people who want to work on STL, Python or Ruby targets. I don't know if there is a way to snapshot files from another hg repo to m-c without losing history.)
(In reply to comment #92)
> Doesn't this mean that if that subversion repo were to go away, we'd be
> violating the GPL and LGPL?
As I understand it, Mozilla wouldn't be if it packaged binaries under the MPL, but GPL-using downstreams would be. The Java files corresponding to the generated C++ files should be in m-c to help GPL downstreams comply. (However, they should probably move near the current directory location of the C++ files--the .java files are still under content/html/parser/javasrc/.)
If the translator binary and javaparser.jar go into m-c, the translator source and the javaparser source should go in, too, in order to comply with LGPL for javaparser.jar and the translator bits derived from javaparser.jar sources. However, per licensing at mozilla.org, the binary-only Google Code Ant plug-in should be zapped from the javaparser source drop first.
That said, I'd very much prefer the m-c copies of any .java files being treated as (L)GPL compliance devices and as aids for urgent changes within m-c without external deps. I think it would be good not to fork the .java files for further and to instead work from the parser repo and snapshotting to m-c if at all possible.
The setup I've had is that I work in a sandbox checked out from SVN and when I run the translator, the translator writes into my m-c check-out sandbox and also snapshots the relevant .java files there (but not the translator itself currently).
There's bug 499141 for landing the translator. I suggest we continue there.
(I concur with reed on the license header point.)
Comment 95•15 years ago

If the Java and the derived C are both under the BSD licence, we have no problem with GPL issues. We are offering them to other people under those licences. If other people take them and bind them into a GPL app, they then have to make sure they ship the preferred form of modification to their customers, but that's not our problem.
However, we should make the life of those people as easy as possible, which Henri seems to be trying to do. Although it would be better if the Java sources were also in our repo.

Even if that's the case, it shouldn't be a problem as long as we check the code into m-c before the svn repo goes away, which I have no doubt is going to happen (soon). I held off including the java files mostly in order to keep this patch reviewable (not to mention bugzilla-attachable). There will definitely be a follow-up commit that adds the java files.
