In ancient double-digit-issue times, our forefather brson suggested that we could store some sort of promise or future in the display list, for images pending load: https://github.com/servo/servo/issues/43
Would something like this work? It might make sense to store the futures in the flow tree instead of (or in addition to?) the display list. The future would contain sort of identifier that corresponds to an image request. Each time layout runs, any "image future" fragment would check to see if its request was now finished. When any image load completes, we could trigger a layout pass that triggers these checks. (This could use a new RestyleDamage flag, or maybe just make sure these fragments have an existing flag like REPAINT set for as long as they contain an unfulfilled future.) _______________________________________________ dev-servo mailing list dev-servo@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-servo
