Test code:
data:text/html;charset=utf-8,<p style="-moz-text-align-last: justify;">お早うございます</p>

In this case, the spaces between the characters are not equal. More precisely, there is no spacing surrounding the first and last character.

I guess it is in fact a duplicate of bug 424667.

For users with builds in locales other than Chinese or Japanese, you'll need the testcase to be:

data:text/html;charset=utf-8,<html lang="ja"><p style="-moz-text-align-last: justify;">お早うございます</p>

since we do justification differently depending on content language (see IsJustifiableCharacter in nsTextFrame.cpp, and its aLangIsCJ argument (which callers misname as isCJK)).

Oh, I see, if the lang is set to en, there is no longer any space between the characters. Then I have a question that why do we make justification locale-aware? It seems justification in Chrome is not affected by locale.

In the other hand, I guess Korean characters should also be processed like Chinese and Japanese characters as well, since they are similar.

Well, that's false. I opened the Korean Wikipedia and found that words are separated by spaces in Korean...

because CJ characters may be appear in English or something other languages whose words are separated by spaces. E.g., "good morning is おはよう." In this case, the Japanese characters shouldn't cause additional spaces between each character. They should be displayed as a word in space-separated language's context.
Note that the reason why the first and last character's space are half of the others is, they shouldn't have spaces outside of them (i.e., at the line edges). Therefore, they are ignored from target characters which should be appended extra space. See also bug 288439 comment 16. Note that the bug was discussed with old text API (Gecko 1.8 and earlier).

I still do not understand clearly why those two characters should not have spaces around.

Anyway, I'd like to implement the algorithm described in bug 288439 comment 16 which identifies the points and distributes characters accordingly, so that all the spaces could be equal. If it is necessary to avoid appending space on first and last characters, I'll conform. Does it make sense?

Not appending extra space for them is a bug. It was a remaining bug at switching new nsTextFrame in Gecko 1.9.

You changes the position of nsTextFrame for appending extra spaces before or after the frame. However, nsTextFrame width is very important, so, you shouldn't do that:

1. Select the text, then, you can see non-selected spaces between nsTextFrames.
2. Test underline across two or more nsTextFrames. Your patch causes underline is not painted between nsTextFrames.

FYI:

When you define struct, first |{| should be in next line, i.e.,

struct foo
{
  bar mBazz;
};

> -  mTextJustificationNumLetters = 0;
> +  mTextJustificationNumPoints = 0;

> +  mTextEndJustifiable = false;

Like this, when you need to define a lot of variables for same purpose, you should define a simple struct.  Then, the names become simpler and easy to copy and pass to methods.

You should test underlines too (specify it to the <p> elements)

And also, if underline is specified only <span>, the underline might not be painted before nor after the nsTextFrame, I guess. We need to check the spec.

I changed the algorithm so that text frames are expanded as expected. Now underline is continuous in a whole line, and there is no non-selected spacing anymore. The tradeoff is that, spans area cannot tightly wrap the text inside. As this matches the current behavior of both Gecko and WebKit, I think it's fine.

Looks almost good to me.

IE too.

However, this doesn't match with letter-spacing examples. I'm not sure what's the best for justificaiton spaces, though.
http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-text/#letter-spacing-property

fantasai, how about you?

On the other hand, at least for now, it's okay to me because the behavior is similar to the other browsers.

As it is an existing problem that the behavior doesn't match the spec, it might be better to track that in some other bug instead of this.

Why don't you create default constructor which clears all members with 0 or false.

If doing it makes damage to the performance, I think the struct should have Clear() or something similar method.

Well, I don't understand this well, though. Why do you need to move the code and change the condition?

Why don't you use the result instead of out param? If it is the reason why aPSD is modified too, it's okay. But I guess there could be better method name. InitializeJustificationInfo() or something?

How about to add utility method IsStartJustifiable() and IsEndJustificable() in PerSpanData? Then, here will be easier to read.

Hmm, I don't like aInnerPointer is both in/out param. I think that it should be just result and callers increment the result themselves. It's clearer for other developers what this method does.

So, the method could be:

int32_t GetJustificatificationInnerPointsAndInitSpanData(PerSpanData* aPSD)?

firstFrameJustification? Or JustificationInfo should have AssignStartData(const JustificationInfor&)?

Looks like that this can be two methods of JustificationInfo like GetNumberOfHalfSpaces() and GetJustificationFlags().

And also this can be a method like FrameJustificationState::GetAllocatedSpaceWidth()? Anyway, separating computation between struct members helps us to understand what your patch does.

I think that you should create default constructor or Clear() method for this too.

If you assume that they never occur, use MOZ_ASSERT(). Otherwise, NS_ASSERTION() is okay.

You should explain each member with comment.

And all bool members should be defined at the end of members including bool mReflowing. In this case, mReflowing wastes the memory space.

Sorry, I don't have much time today to review the TextFrame part.

I hope you should create some utility methods to each struct. If it's possible in TextFrame too. Separating to small code to a method is easier to read since the method name can be self-document. So, you should do that as far as possible.

I'll be back on next Monday for the remaining part.

Yes, of course. But the case of justification should be defined by the spec explicitly.

If you think it is better to make non-justifiable character have spacing around so that most justifiable character could be centered, I could do so as well. But I prefer the current method. Considering the difficulty of selecting characters, moving to the method WebKits uses may help as well. In most case, they append the spacing after characters. But I think that is not preferable as well.

I guess a better way for this problem is to improve the selecting logic instead of justification?

I think so but I have no actual idea.

That's trivial problem. Simply moving the local type out of the function can solve. Or we may ask the build team to investigate using some new version of gcc: the latest android-ndk is using 4.8 instead of 4.4, and both clang and msvc have supported that feature.

I agree. Could you mention it in the draft?

nit: Please use only a white space between type and member name because if a member whose type name is too long will be added, this indent doesn't make sense with the new member. If we change indent of all members, it makes hg annotation messy. So, not aligning the member names to same column is better for the future.

IIRC, bool should be 1 byte. Why do you need to use ": 1" here? If they are not necessary, please remove them.

"Both" is unclear to me. Perhaps, SetExtraSpaceAtEnd()? And why don't you create for AtStart too?

Well, I don't understand this comment and following logic... Would you explain by the comment why the struct already includes unnecessary space?

Very odd here to me. If the frame is the last frame of a line, here should adjust mIsEndJustificable, isn't it?

How about move this (except result++) to JustificationFlags::SetSpaceAtStart(JustificationFlags& aPreviousJustificationFlags)?

Setting extra space flag here feels odd to me. It's necessary only when following frame doesn't have justificatable character at first of the frame. So, I think that false is normal case for extra space. If you agree with this and it doesn't make the code complicated, would you do so? (I guess you need to change only above block).

If you want to make debug build crashed, you can use MOZ_ASSERT(). Then, you can detect regressions without reftests only on debug build.

The type name is JustificationFlag"s". So, the member name should be mJustificationFlagsArray.

Wow, this looks reallocating a lot of time! Cannot you guess enough length out of while loop? And if you use nsAutoTArray for it, you can allocate array in the stack at constructing the PropertyProvider. When it's not enough and needs to reallocate, it uses the heap.

Could you test if |iter.GetSkippedOffset() - mJustificationBaseStart| is negative? I think that if it were so, should be crashed safely because it might cause random crash which is hard to find the cause. Use MOZ_RELEASE_ASSERT() for that. I.e., MOZ_RELEASE_ASSERT(iter.GetSkippedOffset() >= mJustificationBaseStart, "Something message here");

Looks like that you make this method stateful. mJustification* depends on the argument of previous call of ComputeJustification().

Even if it's okay, if the range of this argument includes out of range from the range of ComputJustification(), you should do something. MOZ_ASSERT()?

I'm not sure if this is okay. We should ask additional review to roc later, anyway.

I'm afraid you are adding a member to nsTextFrame because nsTextFrame is created tons of times. Although, this might be necessary and enough small... But you should retry to think that if we can avoid to add this to nsTextFrame.

Could you add a warning comment in JustificationUtils.h. Something like: "Be aware! JustificationFlags is a member of nsTextFrame. Therefore, increasing size of this struct may make damage to the footprint.".

But of course, this should be check by roc too.



I still don't understand your patch completely. So, if my review is wrong, let me know.

However, I worry about some points:

1. You use "point" in the patches, but "point" is not good word in layout because there is another "point" which is represented with x and y.
2. You add some justification data as members of PropertyProvider and nsTextFrame. The former makes the class stateful. And The latter increases the memory. Therefore, our current implementation uses hacky way to compute and set the information to nsTextFrame. (Like TrimTrailingWhiteSpace()) If you can avoid to add a member to nsTextFrame, please try it.
3. Justification code is very complicated. Therefore, even we have already touched it, we need to recall it. So, explaining each code what does is very helpful for everyone. Please add comments or create and use utility methods a lot.
And I guess that when you write such big patch, you write a patch step by step for each purpose. If so, separating each step to a smaller patch makes review easier and you might find bugs.

For example, you might need to redesign current code before changing the logic. Then, the work should be separated to some patches and actually fixing this bug part should be other patches. If you do so, reviews can focus if changing logic is intentional or not.
See bug 960871 for an example of separating patches.

This class has been stateful before: GetSpacingInternal depends on mJustificationSpacing which is set in SetupJustificationSpacing. Although the former did not depend on ComputeJustification before, I think it's fine since ComputeJustification is only called in one place outside the class. Maybe it is better to rename ComputeJustification to make it clear that it affects the state of the instance?

Since JustificationFlags is only 1 byte in my patch (and would be 4 byte if you insist that the flags should be plain bool type instead of bit fields), it is more efficient to transfer it by value instead of reference.

That's why I make all bools an one-bit field, so that the whole flags could be only 1 byte. It is possible to remove the member: we can use 4 state bits instead. Do you think it is a better idea?

It is useful to reduce the size of the structure. By making them bit fields, the whole structure uses only 1 byte instead of 4 bytes.

In this case, there is no inner points (count.mInnerPoints == 0) which means the whole frame contains only a single space which is trimmed. We don't want to count any justification point before this frame because of the trimmed space, hence mIsStartJustifiable is cleared. Since it is at the end of a line, and mIsEndJustifiable is never made its effect, it is not necessary to clear it.

It's not wrong. It includes inner points in the context of the given span. It does not include any space before the start or after the end of the span.

But "Space" sounds like a space character to me. Maybe it is better to call it justifiable position, hence "Pos" here?

I think I write the patch by its whole, and I found it hard to separate it into smaller patches since they are coupling tightly. The logic is completely different. The former method bases on justifiable characters, but in this patch it bases on justifiable positions, which makes every place different. Hence it is hard to change some places in one patch and others in another.

Okay.

Yeah, I think so. And should be checked with MOZ_ASSERT().

I don't think that copying 4 byte is slower than 1 byte, but not 100% sure. Either is okay but if you don't use reference, I'd like you to add check the size with static_assert() at build time.

I think that using bit field is better as you think. However, when it's used as a member of a class, it might use 4 or 8 byte (32bit OS / 64bit OS). (If there are some bool members around it, it could be merged, though)

So, if you can remove it, it's the best.

Hmm, I don't like "Pos" too...

In the spec, the points which are inserted spaces between characters are called, "expansion opportunity".
http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-text/#expanding-text

But it's too long and probably there is only one expansion opportunity between two justifiable characters...

Instead, can we call of each side of a justifiable character as "expandable sides" or "justifiable sides"?

Then, could be as:

struct FrameJustificationState
{
  struct
  {
    int32_t mCount;
    int32_t mHandled;
  } mExpandableSides;
  struct
  {
    nscoord mAvailable;
    nscoord mConsumed;
  } mExpandableWidth;
}

?

Looks like that your patch changes handling flow too. If this is correct, can you separate the flow change part and logic change part? But anyway, it's optional.

For example, a text frame "abc" also has 0 inner points, isn't it?

I understand the value of JustificationCount::mInnterPoints for "abc 文字" is:

a   b   c ' '  文  字
          ^ ^ ^ ^ ^

Then, 5. Or if "abc文字" then,

a   b   c   文  字
         ^ ^ ^ ^
the value must be 4. Is this correct?

Therefore, I don't understand why you decrease mInnerPoints from the last frame.

Additionally, "文<span>字</span>" is there, I guess that both mInnerPoints values are 0 and mIsEndJustifiable of the former is true, mIsStartJustifiable of the latter is true. Therefore, I don't understand the second case (clearing mIsStartJustifiable).

Yes, the opportunity seems to be the exact expression. And there is another phase called "break opportunity" which in our current code is called "OptionalBreakPosition". That's why I proposed "Pos". So maybe "oppty"/"oppties" with some comments here?

This looks good to me. So we can replace "halves" with "sides". But what do you think about "points"?

Hmmm... I think it's 3:

a b c ' ' 文 字
     ^   ^  ^

It's 2.

In your case, there is no space be trimmed, hence the condition "trimOutput.mDeltaWidth" is not true.

When trimOutput.mDeltaWidth is not zero, the last frame should contains a tailing space which has been trimmed. That frame could either have other characters (so that inner points > 0), or only the space itself (so that mIsStartJustifiable == mIsEndJustifiable == true). In either case, we need to remove the effect of the space because it is trimmed.

This, in the current code, happens to be done via suppressing the justification of the last character in a line. However in my new code, the justification is no longer suppressed, thus it is necessary to remove the justification opportunity introducing by the trimmed space in this way.

No, if we'll use "opportunity", it should be abbreviated.

I don't like "points". So, I like "sides" better. Although, "sides" are used in CSS border rendering code.

Oh, okay. Then, mInnerPoints could be mInnerOpportunities?

nit: Could you create a class JustificationUtils which has only static methods you defined/implemented below. (Enough to implement them in the class definition) Then, you can remove "Justification" from their names.

How about to use result (bool or additional count of spaces?) instead of aCount? If you think that it's harder to understand at reading the callers, keep this style.

I guess that this can be FrameJustificationState::Consume(const JustificationCount& aCount, const JustificationFlags& aFlags). And return the dw value as its result.

Could you explain why you copy the flags with comment?

And do you need to check if mFirstFrame is not nullptr? It was not checked. Does this work fine with empty <span></span>?

Setting mIsEndJustifiable true, but setting mSpaceAtEnd and mExtraSpaceAtEnd false may make developers confused. Please add a comment here.

In the previous code, if it is an empty span, ApplyFrameJustifcation just skips the whole loop and returns 0, hence for this case, the two versions are effectively equal. It processes empty spans just like what is done before.

I'd like to get rid of the confusing code directly, since the flags of last element would be set again in SetupJustificationSpacing according to flags of the text frame.

I've not checked the patch yet, but I tested your tryserver build. However, it has some bugs:
http://jsfiddle.net/jfzvyywv/5/

1. With <li> elements? Or with the indent of <li>? Each last character isn't aligned to the end of its line.
2. Empty <span> element causes extra space. This shouldn't be. (#2, #10, #15)

I'll check this.

This is a known issue, and I don't think we should solve it for now. On the one hand, it is a rare case in normal use, but for dealing with this, the algorithm would be much more complex. On the other hand, WebKit and Blink have the same effect, and the spec doesn't have specific requirements on this.

If we really want to solve it, I think it would be better to open a follow-up bug after this bug being solved.
BTW, do you think we should apply justification between the bullet and the item text? Chrome does so but we don't.

I don't think so. Bullets are not a part of each line. I believe that other browsers should fix it. fantasai, how about you?

Looks fine! Great. (FYI: The empty span issue was a regression of your patch. It's not reproduced with current Nightly)
No, we should not adjust spacing between the bullet and the main text. Please make sure that test ends up in the w3c export directory. :)

Hmm, about the text-align-last: justify; isn't rendered as the test described both on patched build and Nightly :-( It must be another bug of us or the test...

It is only because that the test doesn't use -moz- prefix. We haven't yet unprefixed it.

Needs a bit more explanation, maybe with some examples. A JustificationCount will be associated with a range of clusters, right? If that range of clusters includes a trailing space character, does that space count as an inner opportunity?

I don't think we have any implementation-reserved bits available for textframes. Since justification doesn't need to be super-well optimized maybe we can use a FrameProperty to hold the bits for justification.

Yes, that's great! I was looking for something like this to hold the data instead of the state bits, since I might soon need more data to be stored with text frames.

Should we have a new bug for this? I guess it would be painful to make them bool flags and init them manually.

I don't think so. There is not always an expansion opportunity when the given side is justifiable. The most obvious case is the line start and line end.

Isn't it obvious enough with the names and the explaination of the algorithm above? I feel additional comments here are redundant.

I feel it's hard to explain their function individually. But they are short enough and properly commented in the code. I don't think we need more comments on them.

> Would it make sense to make these member functions of JustificationFlags?

It might make sense, but I prefer keeping them where they are now, because they not only change the flags, but also participate in the algorithm and count the expansion opportunities for their caller. They were inlined in the callers directly in former patches, and be separated out as functions because they are common parts in two places.

It's not clear what mExtraSpaceAtStart means, even after reading the explanation at the start of the file.

Also, these record expansion opportunities, not actual 0x20 space characters, right? If so we should change the names.

It's still not very clear what this function does. It seems like we're combining justification data from a previous text run with justification data for the next text run?

I'm sorry to be picky about the comments here but making this code easy to understand now will save us a lot of time and effort in the future.

It would probably help if the explanation of the algorithm above referenced the actual types and fields that store data used by the algorithm.

Are we doing this because, given the text "a b c", we want selection of "b" to include half the space between "a" and "b" and on the other side half the space between "b" and "c"? If so, please say so.

I still find this whole patch very hard to understand. The first phase makes sense. The second phase is very confusing. Here are some suggestions:

-- I think we should rename JustificationCount to JustificationOpportunities, since it's not just a count.

-- I think we should have a method that just does "phase one", i.e. it gets called for each span and does nothing but compute the JustificationDataForSpan for that span, calling itself recursively to walk over the children.

-- I think we should rename JustificationFlags to JustificationAssignment. I think it should include the number of inner opportunities actually assigned (an integer), and the number of half-opportunities assigned to each end; it would be clearest if the latter fields are floats.

-- I think we should have a specific method for phase two, that gets called for each span and computes for each span (and ultimately each frame) its JustificationAssignment.

-- I think we should attach the JustificationAssignment to the frame as a FrameProperty, just dynamically allocated as a struct.

How does that sound?

I think completely separate the two phases may complexify the code.

I don't think including number of inner opportunities is useful, since we always have to recaculate it inside text frames when computing the assignment for clusters.

We can store sufficient information in 4 bits, why should we store it in 2 floats? I cannot agree with this suggestion.

I don't think so. 4 bits are enough for that information. Dynamically allocating has no sense other than adding the code complexity and reducing the performance.
I'd prefer make the comment more clear before changing the code.

Would the folloing comment make more sense to you?

Unfortunately this is difficult to read because in various renderings (Firefox, eclipse, gedit) the ^ characters end up misaligned because the Chinese characters are not truly monospace :-(. Either use inline marks like you had before, or use Latin characters in place of the Chinese characters.

This isn't as clear as the rest of the comment. When you say "justification spaces assigned to a span", you don't mean all the spaces assigned to the span, you just mean the spaces assigned to its ends, right?

The way you've described the algorithm here suggests an alternative implementation that might be easier to understand: walk the spans recursively and keep track of the previous text frame's PFD. When you see the next PFD, you can find out what the next cluster after the previous text frame is (if there isn't one), and then you can assign justification space to the previous text frame. That way you should be able to make the code look very much like the one-pass algorithm for the flattened sequence of clusters. Does that make sense?

I still think it's going to be clearer to call this JustificationAssignment and use two uint8_ts (mSpacesAtStart, mSpacesAtEnd) instead of 4 bools. See below.

Also I think using the word "space" here is confusing since we use the word "space" for other things in text, especially actual space characters. Maybe "slots"? So "mSlotsAtStart"?

Right now we set some flags for a pfd and then when we reach the next pfd, we overwrite the flags for the previous pfd.

I think it would be clearer to set the correct final values for mLastParticipant's end and this pfd's start here. When we reach the end of the line, set the last mParticipant's end-gap-count correctly. The important thing is to set the computed flags/gap-count for each end of the frane only once.

This (and other code) would be simpler if instead of having JustificationFlags include 2 bools for each end, it included a single uint8_t for each end (whose value is 0, 1 or 2).

I'm worried that the total spacing added will not add up to the total justification spacing for the frame due to rounding errors.

I think you need to do what you do in nsLineLayout and keep a running total of how many gaps we've allocated, and compute the rounded-to-nscoord next/prev amount consumed and set the width of each gap to the difference between those values.

I didn't think so either until I saw an unexpected failure on valgrind test. You can find the result here: https://treeherder.mozilla.org/ui/#/jobs?repo=try&revision=5a9d199b21d6

Well, mBefore and mAfter in Spacing are also gfxFloat, why do we need to use the running total method? I think the graphics part can process that cases correctly.
Flags: needinfo?(roc)
Spacing values should be rounded to the nearest nscoord. See definition of Spacing in gfxFont.h. That rounding introduces error and accumulated errors could lead to the total spacing added being different from the justification width allocated to the frame.

OK, I'll fix it.

For justification-cjk-extension, in systems where the fonts lack the support of the Plane 2 characters, the two strings have different original width (see this attachment), hence the result is different. I don't know why it works fine previously, but the its current result is acceptable.

How can we fix this reftest? Is there any font covers all characters with a fixed width? Any idea?

No. You probably should set up an Android debugging environment, it'll be worth it in the long run.

Not sure what range of characters you need to be fixed width, but http://sourceforge.net/adobe/csso9ntestfonts/wiki/Home/ might be of use.

Oh that's great! I found there is another font named Adobe Blank which should be enough in this case.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

It seems to me we might be best served by having our own test font (or modifying one of our existing test fonts) to have the same glyphs and metrics for a few Chinese characters, including the plane-2 characters, and having this test use that font and those characters. That would be simple and avoid any licensing issues.

TBH, I didn't know. But after you asked, I realize that it is a wrong fix which just simply make it skip the justification procedure for this test.

The reason of the failure on this test seems to be the minor difference of the distribution of the spacing. In fact, this minor difference exists in all our current version, even in all platform which the test passes. If you open attachment 8517789 [details] and zoom in, you can always observe the difference. It seems that the new algorithm slightly enlarges the difference in some platform in this testcase, which causes the failure. I have no idea how to fix it... Maybe we can try different position, and see if there is a place matches exactly in the two pages?
SIL OFL 1.1 is no problem at all. Go right ahead. If it's just test code, no need to adjust about:license.

Maybe you could use the small test font we already have in layout/reftest/fonts/gw432047.ttf? I believe this includes a CJK character in Plane 2 as well as a BMP one, so provided you use those specific characters in the test, it should avoid fallback/.notdef issues.

If you use a test font where the characters are just solid boxes, maybe we can fuzz the test results to account for small alignment differences.

But the problem is that, in this test, we are checking the position of the caret. Using solid boxes and fuzzing it simply makes the test meaningless again, like my fix before.

Well, not so good. The failure for b2g is trivial which I can fix immediately. But it seems that the test for 503399 never makes effect on Windows, which now cause a unexpected failure. Should we simply skip it on windows?
Attachment #8518653 - Flags: review?(roc)
Maybe you should add 503399 to test_reftests_with_caret.html?
OK I'll try.
Should be fine now: https://treeherder.mozilla.org/ui/#/jobs?repo=try&revision=6bf79646ee59
But it worth to mention that, in some of the platforms, test_reftests_with_caret is simply skipped. I'm not sure whether they can pass the tests once it is no longer skipped.
