The optimization in CalcStyleDifference that avoids generating change hints if we know we have the same rule node and also know that we can't generate any changes due to reset property changes is no longer very effective now that we always compare all structs. Once we do bug 1301258, and we more precisely cull changes that are subsumed by those already generated, it will have no use at all. At that point we can remove it, some of the change hint state accumulated on ElementRestyler objects, and all of the MaxDifference / DifferenceAlwaysHandledForDescendants static methods on style structs.
Comment on attachment 8794697 [details] Bug 1302054 - Part 1: Avoid computing style differences when we just want to ensure structs are cached on the new context. https://reviewboard.mozilla.org/r/81020/#review82664 ::: layout/style/nsStyleContext.cpp:1346 (Diff revision 1) > return CalcStyleDifferenceInternal(&newContext, aParentHintsNotHandledForDescendants, > aEqualStructs, aSamePointerStructs); > } > > +void > +nsStyleContext::EnsureSameStructsCached(nsStyleContext* aOther) I think aOldContext is a better name than aOther.

Comment on attachment 8794699 [details] Bug 1302054 - Part 3: Remove mention of nsChangeHint_Hints_NotHandledForDescendants in RestyleManager::ChangeHintToString. https://reviewboard.mozilla.org/r/81024/#review82668 r=dbaron, although this might change once you address review comments in bug 1301258 ::: layout/base/nsChangeHint.h (Diff revision 1) > -// The most hints that NS_HintsNotHandledForDescendantsIn could possibly return: > -#define nsChangeHint_Hints_NotHandledForDescendants ( \ > - nsChangeHint_Hints_NeverHandledForDescendants | \ > - nsChangeHint_ClearAncestorIntrinsics | \ > - nsChangeHint_NeedReflow | \ > - nsChangeHint_ReflowChangesSizeOrPosition \ > -) > - I think it would be useful to keep this as a "sometimes" category just so you can have an assertion that every change hint is in one of the categories (for the assertion I requested in bug 1301258).

Comment on attachment 8794700 [details] Bug 1302054 - Part 4: Make NeedDirtyReflow a not-always-handled-for-descendants change hint. https://reviewboard.mozilla.org/r/81018/#review82670 Hmmm. I'm not sure about this one. Why do you want it? I guess it's because you added some invariant about the interaction between NeedDirtyReflow and ClearDescendantIntrinsics? We really do want to keep as many hints as possible as handled for descendants. (I guess I'm not entirely sure about the "old" (from bug 1301258) code in this patch either.)

Looks like we'll also be able to remove the aHintForThisFrame argument to the recently-added nsIFrame::UpdateStyleOfOwnedAnonBoxes, too.
My current patches not longer make NeedDirtyReflow a not-always-handled-for-descendants hint. I'm also deferring the removal of NS_HintsNotHandledForDescendantsIn to bug 1347828.
