I guess the getColor()s could go in something that goes up the DilloHtmlState stack looking for non-NULL...

There's dw::core::Widget::getBgColor() , which chains up the widget hierarchy looking for a non-NULL background color. Perhaps we should be calling that? However there is no equivalent (that I can see) for foreground colors. Perhaps there should be? Regards, Jeremy Henty

In SELECT, if standard_widget_colors is set, color and backgroundColor are set to NULL. This tells FltkResource::setWidgetStyle() to leave the colors on the widget alone. If an inline element inside a SELECT calls style->color->getColor() or style->backgroundColor->getColor(), we get that crash. This currently means FONT and IMG. OBJECT and A would as well if that a_Color_vc code were uncommented. options: - four IN_SELECT tests. - letting Html_stack_cleanup_at_open() be called for inline elements in order to close the SELECT or something if IN_SELECT and the new tag isn't OPTION or OPTGROUP. - generating our own standard widget colors to put into color and backgroundColor. I don't like the first one because someone innocently adding a getColor somewhere in the future will never know about this danger. (a good example would be adding the a_Color_vc to open_frame())

I read you as saying that the new function a_Html_parse_stash() was not very well named, and I meant to suggest a_Html_parse_stash_entities() as an improvement. If you were saying that the refactoring itself is confusing then I misread you. Regards, Jeremy Henty

I think this is related to the malloc implementation in Linux/glibc.

Memory usage

by jcid＠dillo.org

Hi there, I've been reviewing memory usage these days, and found some weird numbers that I'd like to understand. Taking the huge mysql page (13MB), I made the following memory measures (with ps). Load a bare dillo, load the simple directory where the huge page is located, then the huge page, then back, then forward, back, forward and back. I did this for dillo2.19Jun, dillo2.21Jun, dillo-fltk (with zone allocators) and dillo1. All in GNU/Linux with image_off.

My thoughts: * If this memory is not freed, it'd be great to find the huge leak. * If it's freed but not returned to the OS., dillo would consume as much memory as the biggest page it has loaded. Clearly not a desirable situation. * It may be that the O.S. knows it can claim back this memory when necessary but prefers to keep it assigned to the same process until it finds better use for it. ------------------------------------------- Huge page with different memory allocators: ------------------------------------------- %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND 5.4 134912 113740 pts/17 S+ 18:56 0:02 ./dillo-fltk step: 2x 5.4 134916 113752 pts/17 S+ 18:57 0:02 ./dillo-fltk step: 2x 5.4 134828 113660 pts/17 S+ 18:58 0:02 ./dillo-fltk step: 2x 5.0 114940 105432 pts/17 S+ 18:53 0:02 ./dillo-fltk step: 1 5.0 111976 105488 pts/17 S+ 18:54 0:03 ./dillo-fltk step: 1 5.0 114872 105416 pts/17 S+ 18:54 0:02 ./dillo-fltk step: 1 5.1 117796 106436 pts/17 S+ 18:59 0:02 ./dillo-fltk step: cst 5.1 117568 106404 pts/17 S+ 19:00 0:02 ./dillo-fltk step: cst 5.1 117820 106460 pts/17 S+ 19:00 0:02 ./dillo-fltk step: cst This data comes from a memory usage reduction by tunning the simpleVector memory allocator. The first is the current one, which allocates in chunks of 2*numAlloc, the second allocates one by one and the third is a custom one I made. The 1-allocator is the best memory usage reducer but it's slower (roughly 20%). The cst-allocator reduces a bit less but is almost as fast as the 2x-allocator (2% slower or so).

I'm investigating on memory usage, and have further reduced it, but what I'm about to post for discussion is really weird. Stay tuned... -- Cheers Jorge.-

But that only works with images enabled, right? Then all timings are dominated by image decoding. Without images I get timings around 3s with images it's about 16s. But anyway, I agree that there is not much gain in avoiding that strlen call. So let's just forget about that for now. If we can find a test case where it really helps, we can come back to it.

I get consistent timing with uicmd.cc:647 set to 1. -- Cheers Jorge.-
