html.cc: convert Html_*_reset functions to methods
by onepoint＠starurchin.org May 28, 2008

May 28, 2008

This changes Html_reset_form() to DilloHtmlForm::reset() and Html_reset_input() to DilloHtmlInput::reset() . It's part of the plan to move code that accesses DilloHtmlForm and DilloHtmlInput internals into methods and make the internals private. The patch is in two parts: the first makes the changes and the second moves the new methods to the right place in the file. If I roll the changes and the move into one then "diff" gets confused and creates an unreadable monster of a patch. I'd recommend feeding the two attachments to patch separately; it might do the right thing given the whole message in one go, but then again it might not. Comments are welcome. There are several other functions in html.cc that are really just methods in disguise and are future targets for the same treatment as Html_reset_form() and Html_reset_input() get here.

html.cc: small tweak for consistency and debugging
by onepoint＠starurchin.org May 27, 2008

May 27, 2008

This renames a local variable from "size" to "nf". This is consistent with the names of similar local variables elsewhere in the file and also ensures that the _MSG statement will compile if debugging is enabled. Jeremy Henty

Re: (working) prototype of charset decoding in cache.c

I've made a second review over the code, and it doesn't look that bad to me. This is, the decoding in cache, even the stuffed cache-entry; if it can be isolated/tidied in the future better. The part that looks inconvenient to me is the charset choosing dialog. I'd prefer Dillo do this automatically. There's no need to try to recognize every charset in the world, but just a few "most used" ones like koi8-r. BTW, UTF-8 has become the preferred solution. The idea is that we can leave space for a expandable function just in case. BTW, there's an improved version of the data guesser in the ftp dpi. Please send me a koi8-r encoded page to test (or just let me know how to find it with google :). IIRC you sent me an explanation message on what this patch was for and remaining issues. I can't find it :(. Please resend it to me. > > There are plenty of issues. Going in order through the diff: > > - *_get_content_type().

The problem with "unknown as text" is that some HTTP servers send downloadable files as text. It is quite practical in this case to get a download dialog from dillo, intead of a binary rendering (especially for newbies). That's why the current data guesser is conservative. The data guesser can be improved. e.g. taking ASCCI control characters as a strong indication of a binary, and their absence as a text hint. I can give it a look after you send me the files. > - CacheEntry_t now has a horrifying amount of junk in it. Maybe it > would be good to pull out about half of it into some sort of Data thing.

Consistency should be our goal/horizon/friend/helper. :-) -- Cheers Jorge.-

[patch]: html.cc: DilloHtmlForm::getCurrentInput()
by onepoint＠starurchin.org May 27, 2008

May 27, 2008

This refactors DilloHtmlForm code into a new "inline DilloHtmlInput *getCurrentInput()" method. It's just like the earlier patch that created DilloHtml::getCurrentForm() . Comments are welcome, although I hope it is uncontroversial. Regards, Jeremy Henty

an experiment in widget coloring
by corvid＠lavabit.com May 27, 2008

May 27, 2008

I saw a page that reminded me that the matter of when to have light text vs. dark text on widgets was not decided. earlier discussion: http://lists.auriga.wearlab.de/pipermail/dillo-dev/2008-February/003760.html trimmed-down bit of the page I saw: <form> <table bgcolor="#F8C473"> <tr><td> <input type="submit" value="I can hardly see the text"> </table> </form>

[patch]: html.cc cleanup: DilloHtml::currentForm()
by onepoint＠starurchin.org May 26, 2008

May 26, 2008

This patch adds a DilloHtml::currentForm() method and uses it to refactor wherever possible. This reduces the number of instances of the "foo->size() - 1" idiom in html.cc from 23 to 13! Regards, Jeremy Henty

[patch] dw2 memory reduction
by Johannes.Hofmann＠gmx.de May 26, 2008

May 26, 2008

Hi, attached is patch to reduce the memory usage of dw2: * Styles are now reused if they are equal. This brings down the number of Style objects on the mysql page from around 180000 to 23000 and reduces memory usage by about 25M at the cost of an additional HashTable. Maybe the hash table should be part of fltkplatform as the hash tables for Color and Font? There would be even more sharing of styles possible, if x_link would not be part of style. On the other hand about 3M for styles on the huge mysql page is pretty ok. * Size of struct Word is reduced by 4 integers by using shorts. I know that this is questionable, but I think in the case of struct Word that can be allocated a lot it is worth the hassle. Please check whether my assumption that space lengths and word lengths can be stored in shorts are valid in general. * SimpleVector no longer preallocates memory if it's not necessary. This actually saves some megabytes here! With these changes memory usage on the mysql page is 179M here. Cheers, Johannes

Fuzzing dillo
by 4winter＠informatik.uni-hamburg.de May 26, 2008

May 26, 2008

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi :) I was playing around with Michal Zalewskis html fuzzer 'mangle' trying to crash dillo and succeeded :). Furthermore I was able to reduce the ~100k page that was triggering a NULL pointer dereferencing to three tags (see the attached page). Some digging around (html.cc is a monster ^^) revealed that style_attrs.setBorderColor ( Color::createShaded(HT2LT(html), style_attrs.backgroundColor->getColor())); in Html_tag_open_table was failing due to the fact that style_attrs.backgroundColor was NULL. Html_tag_open_select sets the backgroundColor to NULL and this is inherited by the table tag since it's a child of the select tag. Greping through the code shows that there are at least two other functions that set backgroundColor (and color) to NULL (Html_tag_open_input and Html_tag_open_isindex) and twelve locations calling getColor() on either color or backgroundColor. I have no idea how to _properly_ fix this issue. Furthermore I'd suggest to break down html.cc into several files. It is about 6000 lines long (-> hard to dig into) and it takes gcc roughly five seconds to compile on my box.

After I sent the preferences mail yesterday, I found that I overlooked one. The headers look good, but I have no way to test it for real.

It's nice to get to delete things, and especially preferences, since they have a natural tendency to grow and grow and grow.
