453759 - update media queries implementation to match recent spec changes

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: CSS Parsing and Computation, defect)

Description

[David Baron :dbaron:]

I have three patches to update the media queries implementation to match recent spec clarifications / changes, now reflected in http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css3-mediaqueries/ .  The patch headers point to the URL of the messages involved.

However, the third patch exposed an additional bug that I haven't had a chance to debug yet.

The first and third patches are for issues that I knew were ambiguous so I intentionally left tests marked todo to remind me of them.

The three patches apply on top of each other.  (They may or may not apply independently.)

Attachment: patch 1: stricter rules for parsing of grid feature

Attachment: patch 2: make min-* and max-* expressions with no values into parse errors

Comment 3

[David Baron :dbaron:]

Attachment: patch 3: make valueless expressions false when the device's value is the zero length

This seems to have exposed another bug about dynamic changes when one dimension is zero.

And I see the same three failures on Windows as on Linux, so it doesn't seem to be a platform-specific bug.

Comment 5

[David Baron :dbaron:]

Attachment: patch 4: handle resizes even when one dimension is already zero

This fixes the test failures that are now visible following patch 3.

Patches include test cases  and seeing as there hasn't been any discussions about this bug for 8 months and it's been in mochitest, I'm assuming there aren't any residual issues. I'm moving this to verified as a result. If anyone has any qualms, feel free to bring them up.
