Comment on attachment 8621075 [details] [diff] [review]
Silence verbose layout warnings
These warnings should probably remain, but be opt-in (with MOZ_LOG) IMO.
These are all reasonably important, I think; they're aiming to catch cases where layout code might accidentally pass in the sentinel-value NS_UNCONSTRAINEDSIZE (2^30) where it should not. Of course, that testcases which use huge sizes will end up working with sizes that happen to be that huge, and will trip this warning as a false positive; that's why we trip these warnings in our crashtest suite. These warnings are still useful for hinting at problems when we're debugging real-world (non-huge) content, though.
(Sorry for difference in goal from Bug 1171528 -- that bug ended up being a special case because its warning had been cribbed from elsewhere, and the "elsewhere" code had removed the warnings. So there, it most sense to remove the warning. Not here, though.)

Sure as long as you're convinced all 7 are worth keeping. Which log are you thinking of using? Should we just do something similar to the second attempt at bug 1171528? You seemed to have an opinion on naming etc so I'd just like to get that cleared up now before generating another patch.

That's a high bar. :) I'd rather say that I'm unconvinced that any of these clearly merit removing.
(They're all testing approximately the same thing, so I think they're all equally sane. And the thing they're testing is a useful thing to test. I've tripped over some of these & it's helped me catch bugs in my local patches the past.)

Similar to that, yeah. Maybe a new header called layout/base/LayoutLogging.h?
(CC'ing dbaron; I'd suggest getting his feedback or at least tacit-approval on this, as he's module owner and may want to chime in on naming here before we've gone too far rewriting warnings.)
Also: note that these are currently all NS_WARN_IF -- i.e. they're evaluating a condition before logging, and they're *only* evaluating the condition (and only logging) in debug builds. We should preserve that, to avoid this causing a (minor) perf hit in opt builds from evaluating these conditions for no reason. Not sure if that means we need MOZ_LOG_IF, or perhaps #ifdef DEBUG\n MOZ_LOG_IF(...)\n #endif, or maybe something else.

(Also, one thought I had about attachment 8620432 [details] [diff] [review] (second attempt on bug 1171528): is it problematic that we're creating a static PRLogModuleInfo, in function-defn that lives in a header-file? That means each .cpp file that uses this API will get its own distinct PRLogModuleInfo, I think. Does that matter? i.e. maybe we should define this hypothetical "GetLayoutLog" function in a .cpp file, so there's only one shared PRLogModuleInfo?)

Sounds good.

I'll f? on the patch.

The condition is always evaluated [1], although the message is only output in debug builds. I *would* hope that this gets optimized out in opt builds if the value isn't used.
I don't think the debug only part matters if we're switching to MOZ_LOG (the message will only be created if the log level is enabled), but I can wrap in #ifdef DEBUG if you'd prefer.
> Not sure if that means we need MOZ_LOG_IF, or

MOZ_LOG_IF (or some variant) would be a good future improvement. For now I think we can do something specific for layout like the following psuedo-code:
> #ifdef DEBUG
> #define LAYOUT_DWARN_IF(cond, msg) if (cond) MOZ_LOG(layoutLog, Warning, (msg));
> #else
> #define LAYOUT_DWARN_IF(cond, msg)
> #endif
And then your messages become:
> LAYOUT_DWARN_IF(value == overflow, "There was an overflow");
Or we could remove the debug-only restriction and go with |LAYOUT_WARN_IF|

I can never quite remember the rules on this, regardless it should probably be in a cpp file.

Sorry, I mis-spoke -- these are using NS_WARN_IF_FALSE, which behaves as I described (it doesn't evaluate the condition in debug builds).[1]
(NS_WARN_IF is completely different and is meant to be used inside of an "if(...)" statement, which is why it's functional in opt builds)
> I *would* hope that this gets optimized out in opt builds if the value isn't used.
If there's a virtual function-call in the condition (e.g. frame->IsFrameOfType(nsIFrame::eReplaced) in one of these cases), I don't think it can be optimized out, regardless of whether its value is used.
> LAYOUT_DWARN_IF
This seems reasonable, though we shouldn't make it sound so similar to NS_WARN_IF (since NS_WARN_IF is special & meant to be used inside of if() statements, as I've now remembered).
Maybe LAYOUT_WARN_IF_FALSE? (so, identical in behavior to the currently-used NS_WARN_IF_FALSE, except that it's also restricted to require layout logging to be on)

(or LAYOUT_DWARN_IF_FALSE, if you like. I'm not sure the "D" is necessary, since the analogous NS_WARN_IF_FALSE is already debug-only; and I doubt we'll create a non-debug version of this macro, but I don't have strong feelings on DWARN vs WARN)

Yes, LAYOUT_WARN_IF_FALSE sounds good.

Since this will behave the same as WARN_IF_FALSE I think it's fine to omit the 'D'.

Nit: Both of your new files currently end with an extra blank line (as shown above for the end of the .cpp file). Drop that blank line.
(Files *should* end with a newline *character* at the end of the last line -- and your editor may handle that automatically. But there shouldn't be a blank line beyond that.)
>+++ b/layout/base/LayoutLogging.h
>+#ifndef LayoutLogging_h__
>+#define LayoutLogging_h__
Nit: the coding style guide says (implicitly) that #include-guards shouldn't actually have trailing underscores. (I confirmed this with Ms2ger yesterday; he wrote this section of the coding style guide several years ago)
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Developer_guide/Coding_Style#C.2FC.2B.2B_practices
So, I think this should just be:
#ifndef LayoutLogging_h
etc.
>+#define LAYOUT_WARN_IF_FALSE(_cond, _msg) \
>+ PR_BEGIN_MACRO \
>+ if (!(_cond)) { \
>+ MOZ_LOG(GetLayoutLog(), mozilla::LogLevel::Warning, (_msg)); \
>+ } \
>+ PR_END_MACRO
>+#else
>+#define LAYOUT_WARN_IF_FALSE(_cond, _msg)
>+#endif
The "else" version needs to define it to something like:
do { /* nothing */ } while(0)
as we do for e.g. NS_WARN_IF_FALSE:
http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/xpcom/glue/nsDebug.h#68
and MOZ_ASSERT:
http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/mfbt/Assertions.h#385
Otherwise, in a non-debug build, this code:
LAYOUT_WARN_IF_FALSE(condition, blah);
...would end up as just a semicolon:
;
...which I think can be problematic in some pathological cases. (E.g. if you forgot to add a semicolon at the end of the previous line, then the current formulation would make your code still mysteriously compile, only in non-debug builds, because this macro would end up accidentally providing the semicolon for the previous line).
>+#endif // LayoutLogging_h__
>+
(Drop trailing underscores and trailing blank line)
r=me with the above, as long as dbaron is OK with this too.

This commit message is a bit hand-wavy. Better:
"Use LAYOUT_WARN_IF_FALSE to silence some verbose layout warnings by default"

This should just join the existing main block of #includes here; it doesn't need its own blank-line-padded section. So, it probably should be inserted just before the nsBlockFrame.h include.
(I think the DebugOnly #include-line here seems out of place -- there are a bunch of mozilla/*.h includes lower down which it should join. Feel free to bump that down as well while you're here, but no pressure.)

Please reindent the body of these macros. (rewrapping the warning-text if necessary, to keep things under 80 characters)
(If you want to do the reindenting [/rewrapping] as a "part 3", so that this patch is just a mechanical S/NS/LAYOUT/, that's fine with me too.)

I usually just do what the other files in the directory are doing (I chose the wrong file of course), it's good to know we have a standard! I'll remove the trailing underscores.

I was going for alphabetical, clearly that's a lost cause here :) I'll move those two down.

I'll add a 3rd patch, the whitespace changes from reindenting made this one too noisy.

Note: the new way to see these logs is to turn on the 'layout' log module:
> NSPR_LOG_MODULES='layout:2' ./mach run
will enable Error and Warning level log output. Specifying a higher number will enable more verbose logging.

I think this might not be quite ready actually; it looks like this makes our logging go from this form...
[Child 649] WARNING: have unconstrained width; this should only result from very large sizes, not attempts at intrinsic width calculation: 'aISize != NS_UNCONSTRAINEDSIZE', file /scratch/work/builds/mozilla-inbound/mozilla/layout/generic/nsLineLayout.cpp, line 160
...to this form:
-524822016[7f9dcd85e140]: have unconstrained width; this should only result from very large sizes, not attempts at intrinsic width calculation
So we're losing:
(a) Process ID and child/parent label.
(b) Source file & line number
(c) the condition being tested
and:
(d) we're gaining a cryptic numeric prefix.
I think we really need to preserve (a) and (b). (If necessary, maybe we can preserve (b) via editing the logged messages to include the name of the method they're inside, or something similar.) I'm less concerned about (c), though it'd be nice to keep as well. And (d) is just confusing; it'd be nice to lose it.
Also, if dbaron doesn't have cycles to take a look at this (sounds like he might not), perhaps mats can offer some feedback/thoughts.

Unfortunately I can't do anything about (d) (it's an NSPR thing). (a), (b), and (c) are certainly doable.

I'll add this as well.

Yes that would be a nice improvment, it's on my list of things to do as we gradually switch over from NSPR logging.

Hmm... That is unfortunate. This 26-character gibberish prefix makes MOZ_LOG a good bit less attractive as the new hot way to do opt-in logging. Has this come up as an issue anywhere else where we're using MOZ_LOG?
Could you make sure there's a bug filed about this, at least?

Add a log module for use by layout. An analog to NS_WARN_IF_FALSE is provided
that has the same behavior as NS_WARN_IF_FALSE: it's debug only and emits a
message prefixed with '[pid] WARNING', includes the condition being checked,
file name and line number.

Not that I know of, my guess is that historically users of PR_LOG (MOZ_LOG is just a wrapper around this at the moment) are used to it (or even want it).

MOZ_LOG is moving away from using NSPR internally; I'm not sure it's worth filing a bug. Feel free to file one of course, but I doubt they'd accept a change as this is intended behavior.

Part 1: Add log module for layout
Thanks, that's way better than comment 22.

Per https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Developer_guide/Coding_Style#Classes , put brace on same line as namespace, and mention the namespace name on the close-brace.
namespace mozilla {
namespace detail {
...
} // namespace detail
} // namespace mozilla

I think this should just be wrapped in...
namespace mozilla {
namespace detail {
...just like the .h file is.
(Also: it looks like we did lose the "Child"/"Parent" process labels. For existing NS_WARNING/NS_ASSERTION output, it looks like that label comes from nsDebugImpl::SetMultiprocessMode, which I guess we can't easily use here. Oh well.)

Do you know if there's a bug filed on MOZ_LOG switching away from NSPR logging, then? Mainly, I'm curious how long we have to live with these prefixes. If that'll be fixed tangentially by switching the logging backend, I want to keep track of when that might happen. :)

There's a pretty extensive discussion of potential logging improvements in bug 881389 and it's dependent/see also bugs. There isn't a specific bug for switching backends yet, but I can file one and CC you on it. I imagine there will be a bit of back and forth on the format of the output.

Is there a reason to not use standard CamelCase naming here?
Maybe include the word "log" as well? (LayoutLogWarning)

Part 1: Add log module for layout
Three more nits:
>+++ b/layout/base/LayoutLogging.h
>+/**
>+ * Use the layout log to warn if a given condition is false.
>+ *
>+ * This is only enabled in debug builds and LogLevel::Warning must be enabled

(1) This "LogLevel::Warning must be enabled" documentation is a bit abstract. (maybe that's my fault for not having read up on MOZ_LOG enough)
Perhaps this should say something like:
[...]and the logging is only displayed if the environmental variable
NSPR_LOG_MODULES includes "layout:2" (or higher).
(This may become wrong if & when we do switch logging backends. But for now, it's more helpful than "LogLevel::Warning must be enabled" I think, for someone looking at this file & wondering how to make the warnings show up.)
Anyway, feel free to disregard this nit, if this is sufficiently-documented somewhere else.

>+ MOZ_LOG_TEST(GetLayoutLog(), mozilla::LogLevel::Warning)) { \

(2) I think we should reorder the conditions here. First, test if logging is enabled; second, test !(_cond). (If the condition is semi-expensive, and logging is disabled, then the current patch will make us spin our wheels evaluating it for no good reason.)
(3) Why are we using the "detail" namespace here? We probably should just put this function in "namespace mozilla {".
(and as mats observed, camelcase naming is preferred)

I'll update the formatting and add comments.

I'll update to use nested namespaces as above.

Yes that was my conclusion as well :( I think we can address this when switching logging backends, I'll make a note of it.

Thanks for the quick feedback! No good reason, I'll switch to LayoutLogWarning.

Good point, a comment here on how to actually enable the log level would be useful. For the time being I plan on remaining backwards compatible with how we turn on NSPR logging, so the comment should remain useful.

I'll swap them.

Generally things that shouldn't be called directly are placed in a detail namespace (I was encouraged to do this in mozilla/Logging.h by :froydnj). In this case we definitely do not want to encourage calling |LayoutLogWarning| directly as this misses the debug only aspect and the log level test.

Interesting, ok. I was unaware of this convention, but it seems like a good idea. (Kind of like anonymous namespaces, but with a (somewhat) Well Known Name instead of no name, I guess.)
Thanks for the explanation.

Just noticed from that try run that the commit messages need updating -- they say LAYOUT_WARN_IF, but they should say LAYOUT_WARN_IF_FALSE.
