1448763 - Remove nsCSSValue::AppendToString and some other unused stuff in nsCSSValue

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: CSS Parsing and Computation, enhancement)

Description

[Xidorn Quan [:xidorn] UTC+11]

That is quite a bit of unused code now.

The only remaining uses as far as I can see are serialization of descriptors of @counter-style and @font-face. We should replace them with Servo serialization or just move the needed code to those files directly rather than keeping the huge serialization code.

So there are two remaining references to the serialization code:
* nsComputedDOMStyle::DoGetAlignContent uses nsCSSValue::AppendAlignJustifyValueToString
* DOMIntersectionObserver::GetRootMargin uses nsCSSRect::AppendToString

I believe majority of units and methods of nsCSSValue can be removed nowadays, but that need some more time to investigate.

I guess it probably makes more sense to remove the whole nsCSSValue at some point when we can drop all dependencies to it.

Huh, is this needed? I'd expect &aRetVal to just work.

Yes, it is needed, it cannot automatically convert a `DOMString*` to `nsAString*`, we need a semi-explicit conversion.
