nsLineLayout should just use a bunch of named bitfields like PRPackedBool mHasBullet:1 instead of these annoying #defined constants.

Is this old bug request still alive? I'm not sure of the benefit of the change, but the attached patch might help... let me know?

Patch (v1)

So the idea was not to just move the constants to be static members.  It was to not have constants at all, but instead have member variables that each occupy one bit.  So that ugly code like:
  SetFlag(LL_GOTLINEBOX, true);
can just be written as:
  mGotLineBox = true;
and so that:
  GetFlag(LL_GOTLINEBOX)
can just be written as:
  mGotLineBox

Ah... I just realized this was a Mac OS/X bug. I work in a WIN environment. I could try this as a pure coding exercise, but then have no way to test for embarassing mistakes...  I may have taken up your time needlessly.

Did you try compiling this?  I wouldn't have expected the way you initialize the members within the class declaration to compile.

You also don't need the "last flag" anymore; that was just to show which bits were available.

And you want to indicate fields widths (that is, ": 1") for each of the members where they're declared.  I *think* using field widths with bool is acceptable (though it wasn't with PRBool, since PRBool was signed).

Also, I would expect the patch to remove the GetFlag and SetFlag methods and the mFlags member.

This mostly looks good, except for two things:

 (1) Instead of making an InitFlags(), could you just initialize them in the constructor?  (Member-initializer syntax would probably be preferable, but assignment is ok too.)

 (2) Could you declare them where mFlags was declared, rather than where the LL_* constants were declared?  (That's where the other member variables are.)

patchV3

r=dbaron with two corrections:

 (1) move the declarations in nsLineLayout.h down to closer to where mFlags was, but actually slightly above:  put them between mTrimmableWidth and mSpanDepth.  This is for two reasons:
    (a) initialization happens in the order the variables are declared, not the order the initializers are written (in the constructor), but gcc warns when the initializers are written in a different order than the order in which they'll happen.  So the order should match the initializers.
    (b) it will lead to a smaller size structure on 64-bit platforms, since on 64-bit platforms putting these variables between the beginning of the structure and a pointer will be putting them in a space that has to be 64-bits (for alignment) 

 (2) Sorry I didn't notice this before, but it would be better to capitalize "OK" and "BR" slightly differently, as:
     mFirstLetterStyleOK
     mLineEndsInBR


One other comment is that the description part of the commit message:
Remove LL_ constants from nsLineLayout
should probably say:
Replace LL_* constants in nsLineLayout with separate booleans with field widths.


If you post a revised patch with those changes, feel free to add the checkin-needed keyword to the bug.
