693801 - nsHTMLReflowState's second constructor has redundant initialization for mFlags.mIsTopOfPage from parent reflow state

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Layout, defect)

Description

[Daniel Holbert [:dholbert]]

nsHTMLReflowState's second constructor looks like this:
> 126 nsHTMLReflowState::nsHTMLReflowState(nsPresContext*           aPresContext,
[...]
> 132                                      bool                     aInit)
> 133   : nsCSSOffsetState(aFrame, aParentReflowState.rendContext)
[...]
> 136   , mFlags(aParentReflowState.mFlags)
> 137 {
[...]
> 166   mFlags.mIsTopOfPage = aParentReflowState.mFlags.mIsTopOfPage;
http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/layout/generic/nsHTMLReflowState.cpp#126

The mFlags.mIsTopOfPage assignment on line 166 is redundant, since mFlags is already initialized off of aParentReflowState's mFlags.

This line was last modified in the patch[1] for bug 113424, which tweaked the boolean member-variable "nsHTMLReflowState::isTopOfPage" to be part of mFlags.

Before that patch, this line looked like:
> isTopOfPage = aParentReflowState.isTopOfPage;
...and it was necessary because isTopOfPage wasn't initialized elsewhere.  But now it gets initialized as part of mFlags, so this line is redundant.

Attachment: fix

Patch attached.  Including 30 lines of context (back to the mFlags initialization), to demonstrate the redundancy.

fix

r=dbaron, but maybe add a comment near the other flag initializations pointing out that mFlags is initialized above by copy-construction so that we only need to initialize those flags that need a value other than what we get by copying the parent.

[Daniel Holbert [:dholbert]]

Added a message as suggested (and added a blank line to set apart the mFlags.* assignments from the other member-variable initializations), and pushed:
