Previously, Cappuccino was using preprocessor macros internally for the CGPoint/Size/Rect/Inset/Affine functions, as well as for CPRange. These macros had the same name as the corresponding function, but began with _. The functions were actually defined using the macros.
The motivation behind using macros was to increase performance by reducing function calls. However, there were a number of problems with this approach:
- There was an artificial dichotomy between _CG macros and the corresponding CG functions. We never completely replaced CG function calls with _CG macros. In fact, they were often mixed up in the same file. There was an extra burden on the programmer to remember to use the macro instead of the function.
- If a method call was passed as an argument to a macro, performance could actually be significantly *worse* than a function call. For example, _CGGetRectMakeCopy([view frame]) would expand to `{ origin:{ x:[view frame].origin.x, y:[view frame].origin.y }, size:{ width:[view frame].size.width, height:[view frame].size.height } }`. So instead of a single objj_msgSend and a single simple function call, we ended up with 4 objj_msgSend calls, which are way more expensive than simple function calls.
- Because of this expansion problem, to use macros efficiently required us to remember to use variables for all macro parameters. This didn't happen, and shouldn't have to happen.
- Finally, with modern Javascript engines, function call overhead is so small that it really isn't worth using the macros.
This commit eliminates the _CGGeometry, CGAffineTransformation and CPRange macros and replaces them with function calls.
BREAKING CHANGE:
The macros are no longer available. They could only be used with compiled code, but if there is any user code that used them, they will have to be replaced with the corresponding functions.
- CPView and subclasses support multiple-value hidden bindings.
- CPControl and subclasses support multiple-value enabled bindings.
- CPWindow and CPBox support multiple-value title with pattern bindings.
- CPButton supports multiple argument + target bindings.
- CPImageView and CPTextField support multiple-value editable bindings.
- CPMenuItem supports multiple-value enabled bindings.
- Fixed bugs in CPObjectController with simple collection operators.
- CPColorWell uses black as the placeholder color.
- Runtime object attributes from a cib are applied as they are read, not deferred.
- NSNumberFormatter now reads the number style from the xib.
- Normalized some parameter names.
- Formatting.
- Test app for all binding types.
- Make height 20px, same as in Xcode, so we can actually lay them out correctly without guessing. And they were just too tall at 25px anyway.
- In case the height does change in the future, calculate the correct height from the theme in NSProgressIndicator.
- Updated the theme descriptor to include the default height.
- Updated Aristo 2 PSD progress indicator artwork.
- Moved init of CPProgressIndicatorSpinningStyleColors out of layoutSubviews, it is file global and only needs to get done once.
The errors would cause exceptions such as "Not allowed to load local resource: file:///<some local path from the machine that ran nib2cib>" when loading cib driven app through a web server.
