`__1` is a valid identifier, which we normalized to
`--1`, which is invalid.
This changes the nromalization function to leave a `_` in the first position.
This means the event loop spawning goes through the backend, which will permit for state from the Backend struct to be available when spinning the event loop even when spawning it merely.
Extract the `from_json` and `to_json` code from the viewer into the `interpreter`.
Extend the `from_json` and `to_json` a bit. Add some simple tests while at it.
Based on API review, PlatformBuilder becomes BackendSelector with
a slightly smaller API surface but more options, such as selecting
Metal or Vulkan rendering.
SmolStr has an Arc internally for large strings. This allows
cheap copies of large strings, but we lose that ability
when we convert the SmolStr to a &str and then reconstruct a
SmolStr from that slice.
I was hoping for some larger gains here, considering the impact
of this code change, but it only removes ~50k allocations,
while the impact on the runtime is not noticeable at all.
Still, I believe this is the right thing to do.
Before:
```
allocations: 2338981
Time (mean ± σ): 988.3 ms ± 17.9 ms [User: 690.2 ms, System: 206.4 ms]
Range (min … max): 956.4 ms … 1016.3 ms 10 runs
```
After:
```
allocations: 2287723
Time (mean ± σ): 989.8 ms ± 23.2 ms [User: 699.2 ms, System: 197.6 ms]
Range (min … max): 945.3 ms … 1021.4 ms 10 runs
```
This is rarely used, but using Rc here like elsewhere allows us to
elide a few unneccessary memory allocations when copying such types.
The speed impact is not measurable though. With heaptrack I see that
we get rid of the last ~7600 allocations in my benchmark when cloning
Type.
This makes copying such types much cheaper and will allow us to
intern common struct types in the future too. This further
drops the sample cost for langtype.rs from ~6.6% down to 4.0%.
We are now also able to share/intern common struct types.
Before:
```
Time (mean ± σ): 1.073 s ± 0.021 s [User: 0.759 s, System: 0.215 s]
Range (min … max): 1.034 s … 1.105 s 10 runs
allocations: 3074261
```
After:
```
Time (mean ± σ): 1.034 s ± 0.026 s [User: 0.733 s, System: 0.201 s]
Range (min … max): 1.000 s … 1.078 s 10 runs
allocations: 2917476
```
This removes a lot of allocations and speeds up the compiler step
a bit. Sadly, this patch is very invasive as it touches a lot of
files. That said, each individual hunk is pretty trivial.
For a non-trivial real-world example, the impact is significant,
we get rid of ~29% of all allocations and improve the runtime by
about 4.8% (measured until the viewer loop would start).
Before:
```
Benchmark 1: ./target/release/slint-viewer ../slint-perf/app.slint

allocations: 4886888
temporary allocations: 857508

In rust, use f32 instead of f64 for arithmetic comparison.
In the interpreter, use approx_eq
The test is failling in nightly because of precision change in `log`.
By using f32, it actually should work
Also Revert "Disable builds with nightly Rust temporarily"
This reverts commit 4afc3a2e84.
Fixes#5722
Use this snapshot to keep a unoptimized typeloader around, so that the preview
does not need to do another parsing run.
Move the document cache in the preview over to use the snapshot.
This change exposes functionality of already existing internal API
that all renderers use to obtain pixels for upload to the screen - so
it's rather well tested.
This also exposes the `SharedImageBuffer` API, an enum that represents
different SharedPixelBuffer encodings.
Updated the version from 1.1 to 1.2
Renamed the header to "Slint Royalty-free Desktop, Mobile, and Web Applications License"
Added definition of "Mobile Application" and grant of right
Moved "Limitations" to 3rd section and "License Conditions - Attributions" to 2nd section
Added flexibility to choose between showing "MadeWithSlint" as a dialog/splash screen or on a public webpage
Moved the para on copyright notices to section under "Limitations"
