It seems there are 34 bool flags and 3 enum flags put continuously in nsIDocument. The 3 enum fields only need 3+3+2 bits. So in total, they only requires 42 bits or 6 bytes instead of 37 bytes there. As this is per-document, probably not very important, though.

We don't usually use : <number> with enums. And this is error prone. What if more stuff is added to
Type enum and one forgets to update <number>.
So, please don't do this


+
+  enum Tri {
     eTriUnset = 0,
     eTriFalse,
     eTriTrue
   };
 
-  uint8_t mAllowXULXBL;
+  Tri mAllowXULXBL : 2;
Ditto.

I guess we could have a static analysis to check whether the length is large enough for an enum in the future.
It seems this commit improves the performance a little bit, which is detected by the talos test. I received an email:
