The latest css3-background revision augments <bg-position> with a notation for specifying fixed offsets from somewhere other than the upper right-hand corner of the box.  We currently don't support this.

This nominally blocks 513395 as the new spec for gradients assumes the extended <bg-position> notation, but the majority of that bug could be dealt with ahead of this one.
Test Examples:

background-position: right 20px top 60px;
background-position: right 20px bottom 60px;
background-position: left 20px top 60px;
background-position: left 20px bottom 60px;
background-position: right -50px top -50px;
background-position: left -50px bottom -50px;
background-position: right 20px top -50px;
background-position: right -20px top 50px;
background-position: right 3em bottom 10px;
background-position: left 15px;
background-position: 10px top;
background-position: left top 15px;
background-position: left 10px top;

background-position: left 20%;
background-position: right 20%;
background-position: top 20%;
background-position: bottom 20%;

background-position patch rev 1

Sorry for not getting to this sooner.  (I know we'd discussed this patch in person; I was expecting something different after those discussions, but I suspect that's my fault for not being clearer.)

I don't think this patch is quite the approach that we want.  Since when authors examine and manipulate specified styles via the object model they should be manipulating roughly what was specified, we should be storing the values in roughly their specified form in the parser (perhaps a pair of pairs), and then converting them to calc() form in the computation code in nsRuleNode.  The conversion to calc() form shouldn't be happening in the parser.

I'll take it. Looks like a good first bug.
I've gotten some advice from roc about the CSS system and we intend to use a four element CSSValue::Array in the parser to store the four values in the edge offset edge offset order. Also a change would be made to the background style struct which would convert the right and bottom values into calc().

How do you plan to express the full value space in "edge offset edge offset" format?  Are there cases where you'll leave either the edge or the offset null to indicate that it wasn't specified?  While it's sometimes ok to have slight differences in what gets serialized (e.g., with element.style.getPropertyValue()), you should definitely avoid cases where something specified as CSS2 syntax gets serialized as syntax that's only valid in css3-background.

Sounds good otherwise.

Can we always use the 4-element Array for storage and ensure nsCSSValue::AppendToString() always returns CSS 2.1 syntax for values that can be expressed in CSS 2.1?
You might need to write some custom code in AppendToString to do that.
We definitely would, yes.

I guess if we just leave some elements null then AppendToString will work as-is. Then ParseBoxPositionValues can ensure that the non-null values in the array match what the author provided. OK, let's do it that way.
The background position use in the -moz-linear-gradient and -moz-radial-gradient will need to be modified also. This might affect related bugs.
This new syntax should be supported in those other uses of background-position.  (I'm not sure if that's what you were saying, or whether you were saying that the code would need to be modified so they'd be unchanged.)

However, transform-origin is more complicated, since 3-D transforms has a third argument that makes it incompatible with this notation.  I'm not quite sure what the right thing is there -- it may need to be unmodified by this patch.

Latest draft for linear-gradient doesn't spec full background-position syntax. It does for radial.

This only imports William's test cases. His other modifications were manually added to patch 2.
Attachment #549318 - Attachment is obsolete: true
This is an incomplete draft of the patch. So far I believe to have fixed the background-position parsing and resolved the issues with the '-moz-linear-gradient' and '-moz-radial-gradient' dependency on that code in line with what I discussed with dbaron on irc (transcript is given below):

---- Transcript of conversation about gradient dependency on background position  ----
<lsumar> dbaron: i'm working on a patch for https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=522607, and I've got a question about gradients...
 <dbaron> lsumar, sure
 <lsumar> dbaron: the ParseGradient fn in nsCSSParser has a reference to the ParseBoxPositionValues which I've renamed and changed to support the new background-position
 <lsumar> dbaron: is it worth keeping a copy of the old function in order to preserve the functionality or try and patch the dependent code as well?
 <dbaron> lsumar, radial gradients explicitly cite 'background-position', so you're actually supposed to update them
 <dbaron> lsumar, however, transform-origin might be more of a problem
 <lsumar> dbaron: yup, i agree with the radial gradient, at the moment i'm asking for linear-gradient
 <lsumar> dbaron: there is a comment about <legacy-gradient-line> which roc feels refers to the old way -moz-linear-gradient() used to 
 <lsumar> dbaron: *used to work
 <dbaron> lsumar, I think it's fine to change -moz-linear-gradient behavior too
 <dbaron> lsumar, we'll eventually remove the code for the old gradient syntax (before we drop the -moz- prefix)
 <lsumar> dbaron: after I resolve gradients I will move to transform-origin (which looked more involved)
 <lsumar> dbaron: right, so it's ok to modify to be correct with respect to current draft?
 <dbaron> well, the current linear gradient draft doesn't seem to have a background-position-related syntax anymore
 <dbaron> so before we unprefix we'll update it
 <dbaron> but it's fine to change for now, since it's purely additive and won't break anything
 <lsumar> ok. so in the context of my patch I will try to leave the function the way it is now with a small update to the assertions. is there a bug for the linear-gradient that I should update?
 <dbaron> lsumar, not that I know of

background-position patch 2 (incomplete)

Here are comments on up through the end of the nsCSSParser changes; I'm still going through the rest, but I figure I may as well get these to you now:

So the change to CSSParserImpl::ParseGradient seems wrong.  You can't
just remove the aAllowExplicitCenter argument, because:

  1. For background-position, 'left', 'center left' and 'left center'
     all mean the same thing.  See:
     http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/colors.html#propdef-background-position
     http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css3-background/#the-background-position

  2. For the gradient 'to' syntax, 'to left' is legal, but 'center left'
     and 'left center' are not legal.  See:
     http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css3-images/#linear-gradients

  3. The background-position parsing code reports the same thing for
     'left' and 'center left' and 'left center' (x=left and y=center).

I think the best way around this problem is either:

 1. to make the gradient syntax 'to' parsing code stop sharing the
    background-position parsing code, since all it has to parse is
      [ left | right ] || [ top | bottom ]

 or

 2. to make the |aAllowExplicitCenter| argument more explicitly an
    |aParseGradientLineTo| argument, and thus also exclude the other new
    features you're adding (I haven't yet looked into how hard that is)

You should do whichever is easier.


In ParseBackgroundItem, unless I'm misunderstanding, the GetArrayValue
(in the first chunk of changes in that function) you have isn't going to
work -- you need to *set* an array value.


In ParseBackgroundPosition, you're breaking the inherit case since you
put the value in |value| but then assign |valueList|.  You should
maintain the invariant that |value| is the toplevel value of the
property, and instead of introducing |valueList|, introduce something
like |itemValue| to replace |valuePair|.


Now to the main part, ParseBoxPositionValues:

>+  // [keword offset keyword offset]. If a keword or offset isn't 
>+  // parsed the value of the corresponding array element is set 
>+  // to a 0 integer of type eCSSUnit_Null.

s/keword/keyword/

Also, why did you choose a 0 integer?  We may actually want to
distinguish between an explicit 0 offset and no offset specified.  I'd
prefer using eCSSUnit_Null for unspecified for both.

>+  if (aAcceptsInherit) {
>+    // ParseVariant is not greedy so it is ok to simply try and see...
>+    if (ParseVariant(xEdge, VARIANT_INHERIT, nsnull)) {
>+      if (eCSSUnit_Inherit == xEdge.GetUnit() || 
>+          eCSSUnit_Initial == xEdge.GetUnit()) {
>+        yEdge = xEdge;
>+        return PR_TRUE;
>+      }
>+    }
>+  }

When properties store their values in an nsCSSValue (rather than a value
pair), inherit and initial should be stored directly in the value rather
than as items within an array.

Also, you don't need to check the result of GetUnit() -- the fact that
ParseVariant succeeded when passed VARIANT_INHERIT is sufficient.

>+    if (ParseVariant(value->Item(i), VARIANT_LP | VARIANT_CALC, nsnull)) {
>+      valueCount++;
>+    } else if (ParseEnum(value->Item(i), nsCSSProps::kBackgroundPositionKTable)) {
>+      valueCount++;
>+    } else {
>+      break;
>+    }

You can combine the ParseVariant and ParseEnum calls, since ParseVariant
will call ParseEnum if you pass VARIANT_KEYWORD (and pass the keyword
table as the last parameter).  So this could just be:

    if (!ParseVariant(value->Item(i), VARIANT_LPCALC | VARIANT_KEYWORD,
                      nsCSSProps::kBackgroundPositionKTable)) {
      break;
    }
    ++valueCount;

(also note VARIANT_LPCALC condensation and preference for prefix ++)


Throughout the patch you should change PR_TRUE to true and PR_FALSE
to false.

>+          yOffset.SetIntValue(0, eCSSUnit_Null);

eCSSUnit_Null isn't a valid int unit, so this will assert.  I think
you should use eCSSUnit_Null, so this should be yOffset.Reset().

(Same thing repeats many more times.)

>+        if (eCSSUnit_Enumerated != value->Item(1).GetUnit() ||
>+          BG_CENTER == value->Item(1).GetIntValue()) {
>+          return PR_FALSE;

local style is to line up the parts of the if, so the indentation
should have the middle line indented 2 more spaces:

        if (eCSSUnit_Enumerated != value->Item(1).GetUnit() ||
            BG_CENTER == value->Item(1).GetIntValue()) {
          return false;

>+        // Remaining value must be a keyword.
>+        if (eCSSUnit_Enumerated == value->Item(0).GetUnit()) {
>+          xEdge = value->Item(0);
>+          xOffset.SetIntValue(0, eCSSUnit_Null);
>+        } else {
>+          return PR_FALSE;
>+        }

I think it's best to leave all the moving for below the "Move the
values" comment, and just make this:

if (eCSSUnit_Enumerated != value->Item(0).GetUnit()) {
  return false;
}

I'd note that the xEdge = value->Item(0) and the SetIntValue both
duplicate the code you have just below (where I think they make more
sense -- it's best to have all the moving code together so it's easier
to check that you're not stomping over values in the wrong order).

(Likewise I think you could drop the "in their correct position"
comments from the clause above and just have the yOffset.Reset()
and a single comment about everything else being in the right position
after the last "return false" in the 4-value section.)

>+  // Keywords in first and second pairs can not both be vertical or
>+  // horizontal keywords. (eg. left right, bottom top). Additionally,
>+  // non-center keyword can not be duplicated (eg. left left).
>+  PRInt32 xEdgeField = xEdge.GetIntValue();
>+  PRInt32 yEdgeField = yEdge.GetIntValue();
>+  if ((xEdgeField | yEdgeField) == (BG_LEFT | BG_RIGHT) ||
>+      (xEdgeField | yEdgeField) == (BG_TOP | BG_BOTTOM) ||
>+      (xEdgeField & (yEdgeField & ~BG_CENTER))) {
>+    return PR_FALSE;
>+  }

You need to be more careful here since GetIntValue() is only legal
when there's an int unit.  You should do:
  PRInt32 xEdgeField =
    xEdge.GetUnit() == eCSSUnit_Enumerated ? xEdge.GetIntValue() : 0;
etc.  Also, (xEdgeField & (yEdgeField & ~BG_CENTER)) could just be
written with fewer parentheses as (xEdgeField & yEdgeField & ~BG_CENTER).

>+  if (xEdge.GetIntValue() & (BG_TOP | BG_BOTTOM) ||
>+      yEdge.GetIntValue() & (BG_LEFT | BG_RIGHT)) {

Need to reuse xEdgeField here, for the same reason.

(Though I'd actually change the name from Field -> Enum.)
Comment on attachment 581526 [details] [diff] [review]
background-position patch 2 (incomplete)

Here are comments on up to the start of nsRuleNode.cpp.

I'm inclined to not review the rest in detail right now -- I think it would probably be more useful if you added some tests and got them to pass (including making sure you haven't made debug builds assert a lot).  But I'm certainly open to answering questions about the code in nsRuleNode.  The parts I've gone through in detail look like a good start, but it also looks like you haven't gotten a chance to test it yet and there's a good bit that will get shaken out when you do.

You need to add tests to layout/style/test/property_database.js for both
background-position and gradients, and also some reftests.




nsCSSValue.cpp:

>+    // Renameing a few background-position values

I don't think this comment adds anything, and it's a little confusing
("rename"), so just cut it.

You should also assert that xValue and yValue are null.

(Maybe they should be called xOffset and yOffset like in the parser
code, too?)

Fix the indentation of the second line -- probably by wrapping back
to just 1 line.

I think the reason the old code is checking for eCSSUnit_None is that
the constructor of nsCSSValueGradient initialized both members of the
pair to eCSSUnit_None.  But now that it's not a pair that doesn't make
sense.  You should figure out the right thing here -- but I don't think
this is it.  In particular, if the old code let it stay eCSSUnit_None,
then that means the new code probably, in those cases, still leaves it
none, which means it's not an array and you can't access the element
values.  I think right now you can either have the toplevel be an
array or none, and the items in the array can either have values or be
null.  That doesn't seem like the right thing -- and it's not what
this code handles.

Also, same comments on indentation of the hanging aResult lines as
before -- probably best to combine with the previous line.

Your proposed solution 1. (below) fixes the problem in a more sensible way and 
removes the need for that argument. The "to" syntax is not sufficiently 
close to background-position to warrant having that code in ParseBackgroundPosition.

I believe 1 is easier and more sensible. I would also like to apply the same solution 
to the ParseMozTransformOrigin function.The ParseBackgroundPositionValues function 
now operates on an Array which is not a suitable data structure for the others to use. 
Trying to make it parse for the others will only make the code messy without making 
it better.

You are correct. It is done.

There might be some misunderstanding. I intended to invalidate the value to make 
the distinction clear. I noticed that using eCSSUnit_Null seemed to defacto 
invalidate values and thought that setting an integer with type eCSSUnit_Null 
would do it. This was the wrong approach as pointed out later in the comments and 
has been corrected. Now Reset() is used.

That was negligent of me. Fixed for all occurrences. This also clears up the

I agree. xEdge = value->Item(0) shouldn't be there anyway. Fixed.

Yes, I've read it. I will get some reftests going after I complete the changes to ParseMozTransformOrigin.
Fails css-gradients reftests and transform reftests. Passes background reftests (with patch 1 applied). Work in progress.
Attachment #581859 - Attachment is obsolete: true
Has the radial gradient changed since https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=513395 had implemented it? 
There appear to be some differences with respect to the way the syntax is parsed in the code and the specification at http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css3-images/#radial-gradients 

In particular the example 19 "radial-gradient(ellipse at center, yellow 0%, green 100%);" does not render on the current trunk.

Similarly there is a difference between the transform and 3d-transform specification for the transform-origin property. 
http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css3-transforms/#transform-origin-property
http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css3-3d-transforms/#transform-origin-property

The perspective-origin property is parsed by the same function and follows the 3d-transform definition of the transform-origin property closely

http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css3-3d-transforms/#perspective-origin-property

At the same time the 2d transform-origin property is very similar to the background-position even though this is not explicitly stated like with the radial-gradient.

I could be reading the syntax wrong but the 2d and 3d specifications appear to differ, am I correct?

Yeah we didn't implement that syntax originally, because it didn't exist when we implemented radial gradients.

Yes. I'm not sure what to do. Neither is the CSS Working Group :-(.

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2011Oct/0893.html

You might want to investigate what syntax Webkit accepts. Whatever we do probably needs to be compatible with that.
Patch completed. Passes local background, gradient, transform and transform-3d reftests.

linear-gradient
radial-gradient
transform-origin
perspective-origin

Bug 627885 implements some of the new syntax.
Try server push at: https://tbpl.mozilla.org/?tree=Try&rev=cadcd43729ac

(Sorry, not sure why I didn't do that last night.)
mochitest-4 (in layout/style/) are failing with:
###!!! ABORT: Shouldn't have mPercent!: 'pos.mYPosition.mPercent == 0.0f', file /builds/slave/try-osx64-dbg/build/layout/style/nsComputedDOMStyle.cpp, line 1679

crashtest and reftest are failing with:
###!!! ABORT: not a pairlist value: 'mUnit == eCSSUnit_PairListDep', file /builds/slave/try-osx64-dbg/build/layout/style/nsCSSValue.h, line 1001

Once you fix those you should also make sure that the layout/style mochitests pass locally (e.g., with "TEST_PATH=layout/style make mochitest-plain" in the root of your objdir, and then push to try again.
The mochitest-4 is failing because of the way I am using the mPercent value which was introduced in Boris' fix for Bug 647885.

One fix would be to just set the mPercent to be true when ever I assign a percentage but I'm concerned that this might reopen bug 647885.

I'm still looking into the eCSSUnit_PairListDep assertion failure.
The try server link is https://tbpl.mozilla.org/?tree=Try&rev=155335180109

mHasPosition variable in the ComputeBackgroundPositionCoord was implemented properly.

Declaration.cpp file was updated to use List instead of PairList.

Mochitest4 seems to be failing on the try server. 

Suspected cause: nsStyleAnimation::UncomputeValue function (nsStyleAnimation.cpp liine 2227) appears to be generating nsCSSValues from already computed Values and calling ComputeBackgroundData with a dependent pair list for background-position...

Don't put your name or the date in comments.  People can use "hg annotate"
and "hg log" to figure out where code came from when they need to.

That said, you should also point to the comment in the .cpp file
explaining why it's deprecated.

>+#define BG_TB     (BG_TOP | BG_BOTTOM)

>+#define BG_LR    (BG_LEFT | BG_RIGHT)

You're short one space of indentation on the last of these lines.

You don't need the |scratch| variable anymore.  (It was there because
nsCSSValuePairList doesn't actually contain an nsCSSValuePair; instead
it had 2 nsCSSValues, which was probably a mistake.)

Just pass aState.mPosition->mValue to ParseBackgroundPositionValues.

>-      nsCSSValuePair scratch;
>-      if (!ParseBoxPositionValues(scratch, false)) {
>+      nsCSSValue scratch;

Same here.


In ParseBackgroundPosition, declare |itemValue| where |valuePair| used
to be declared, rather than at the start of the function.

Leave the BoxPositionMaskToCSSValue and ParseBoxPositionValues code
where it was located in the file rather than moving it (which breaks
annotations of blame).

>+bool CSSParserImpl::ParseBackgroundPositionValues(nsCSSValue& aOut,
>+                                           bool aAcceptsInherit)

Line up the "bool aAcceptsInherit" with "nsCSSValue& aOut".

>+  // CSS3 specification allows positions to be defined as offsets 

"CSS3 specification" -> "css3-background"

>+  // from an edge. There can be 2 kewords and 2 offsets given. These  

"kewords" -> "keywords"

>+  // four 'values' are stored in an array in the following order:
>+  // [keword offset keyword offset]. If a keword or offset isn't 

"keword" -> "keyword" (twice)

>+  // parsed the value of the corresponding array element is set 
>+  // to a type eCSSUnit_Null by a call to nsCSSValue::Reset().

"a type " -> ""

Also, don't have trailing spaces at the ends of all the wrapped lines.

>+  nsCSSValue &xEdge  = value->Item(0),
>+             &xOffset = value->Item(1),
>+             &yEdge  = value->Item(2),
>+             &yOffset = value->Item(3);

Either line up the = signs or put one space before each = sign.  Don't
average the results you'd get between those 2 options.

>+      // "If three or four values are given, then each <percentage> or<length>

space in "or<length>"

>+      } else if (eCSSUnit_Enumerated != value->Item(2).GetUnit()) { // keyword|offset keyword offset

This is actually "keyword keyword offset".  The code is correct, but the
comment is wrong.  Also, you shouldn't run past the 80th column.

>+        value->Item(2) = value->Item(1); // yEdge
>+        value->Item(1).Reset(); // xOffset
>+     } else {
>+        return false;
>+     }
>+     break;

At the end of case 3, the "} else {" line, the "}" line, and the
"break;" line are indented one space too few.  (Or did tabs sneak
in?)

You should restructure the if/else structure inside case 2: by using nesting, in particular, make it look like:
  if (0 has enumerated unit) {
    if (1 has enumerated unit) {
      // current clause 1
    } else {
      // current clause 2
    }
  } else {
    if (1 has enumerated unit) {
      // current clause 3
    } else {
      // current clause 4
    }
  }

Two nits, for a start:
  depricated -> deprecated
  remove the trailing spaces at the end of lines.

However, I think this comment is too big a warning.  I think all that's
needed would be something more like:
  // BoxPositionMaskToCSSValue and ParseBoxPositionValues are used
  // for parsing the CSS 2.1 background-position syntax (which has at
  // most two values).  (Compare to the css3-background syntax which
  // takes up to four values.)  Some current CSS specifications that
  // use background-position-like syntax still use this old syntax.
I don't think a comment that gradient syntax needs to be updated belongs
*here* -- whoever updates gradient syntax is unlikely to see that code
and remove it.  Comments on updating both transform-origin, perspective,
and gradient arguments probably belong in bugs on doing those things.

nsCSSValue.h:

  Don't edit this file just to add a single blank line.

nsRuleNode.cpp:

  Local style has the "{" that begins a function on its own line.

  Also, "static void" should be on its own line (so that the name
  of the function is at the start of a line and easy to search for).

  In ComputeBackgroundPositionCoord, call your |edge| and |offset|
  parameters |aEdge| and |aOffset|, per local style.  Call
  |outPositionCoord| |aResult|.

  In ComputeBackgroundPositionCoord, this line:
  >+  outPositionCoord->mHasPercent = false;
  could move into the |else| below it, since the then part sets
  it to true.

  >+    negateOffset = edge.GetIntValue() &           // length is subtracted from
  >+                  (NS_STYLE_BG_POSITION_BOTTOM | // percentage for bottom
  >+                   NS_STYLE_BG_POSITION_RIGHT);  // or right edges.

  You should indent the second and third lines here.

  I also think ComputeBackgroundPositionCoord is unnecessarily
  confusing.  I think you should:
   * initialize outPositionCoord->mPercent and mLength in the
     edge-null case
   * eliminate the edgePercent variable (just use
     outPositionCoord->mPercent)
   * change negateOffset to a variable that's either 1 or -1 so
     you can multiply by it

  You should also make the two tails of the if-else chains match
  (one uses NS_ASSERTION (probably preferable); the other uses a
  condition and NS_NOTREACHED).

  There's no need for the function ComputeBackgroundPositionCalcCoords
  -- just inline its contents at its single caller.  Then we don't need
  to worry about the awkward name.  Also fix the indentation.

nsStyleAnimation.cpp:

  >+#if DEBUG
  >+#include "nsPrintfCString.h"
  >+#endif

  Don't #ifdef includes -- just include unconditionally.  Doing
  otherwise is a recipe for somebody else breaking the build later.

  >+static bool
  >+BackgroundPositionToCalcValuePair(const nsCSSValue& aBackgroundPosition,
  >+                                  CalcValue* aXCalc, CalcValue* aYCalc) {

  Opening { on its own line.

  >+  NS_ASSERTION(aBackgroundPosition.GetUnit() == eCSSUnit_Array, 
  >+                                                       "Expected array unit");

  Weird indentation or tabs; the first " should line up with the first a.

  >+         * Lazar Sumar lsumar@mozilla.com, 12th Jan 2012 */

  You should check that with NS_ASSERTIONs.  Also, don't put your
  name in the comment.  And instead of "uncomputed" in quotes,
  maybe write it out as "background-position values from
  ExtractComputedValue" (or did you actually mean UncomputeValue?).

  In AddCSSValuePPC, call it PixelPercentCalc rather than PPC (PowerPC).
  Also, put the opening brace on its own line.

  And at its callers, don't put a space before the !.

  There's some weird indentation (probably tabs) in
  ExtractComputedValue.

  Doesn't ExtractComputedValue actually need
  to deal with the keywords (your XXX comment)?  You should be able
  to convert them to calc(), but you need to do so.  And you should
  add tests for that case to
  layout/style/test/test_transitions_per_property.html


You should add some tests to property_database.js that values like 'left
left' and 'top 20px bottom 20px' are rejected (put them in
invalid_values).

I'd like to look at ComputeBackgroundPositionCoord and the nsStyleAnamition
changes again once you revise the patch (so marking as review-), but
otherwise this looks good.  Sorry for taking so long to finish this review.

At that point it could be either, the "offset keyword offset" is rejected lower. Nonetheless, corrected.

Typo. Corrected.

Agreed. I've copied your comment word for word into the "rev 8" patch.

Removed.

Corrected.

This too was corrected.

Renamed.

This logic was reworked according to advice from comments below.

done.

I've restructured it to make it simpler.

Both use NS_ASSERTION in "rev 8".

Inlined. Indented.

Weird indentation, not tabs, fixed.

The comment was moved into the called function. NS_ASSERTION added.

Name and brace corrected.

Tabs removed.

No. My comment regards the fact that the specified value cannot be completely and correctly determined from the computed value. This comment adds no new information to the code and was removed.

Since this is primarily William's patch, it should be attributed to him.

The commit message should say something more like:

Tests for new css3-background background-position syntax.  (Bug 522607)  r=dbaron



r=dbaron, though it might be good to also have a few more reftests for the various 3-value combinations.

background-position patch 2 rev 8

How about just
  // Parses the CSS 2.1 background-position syntax, which is still used
  // by some properties.  See ParseBackgroundPositionValues for the
  // css3-background syntax.

There are still a bunch of trailing spaces at the end of the
comment in CSSParserImpl::ParseBackgroundPositionValues.

nsRuleNode.cpp:

>+    nsRefPtr<nsCSSValue::Array> bgPositionArray =
>+                                     aSpecifiedValue->mValue.GetArrayValue();

funny indentation -- just make "aSpecifiedValue" begin 2 chars in
from the line above it.

nsStyleAnimation.cpp:

>+   * ExtractComputedValue are contained in the two lists. These allways 

allways -> always

(Also, another point where you're introducing spaces at the end of lines.
You should check for that throughout the patch.)


Also, in nsStyleAnimation, instead of having
BackgroundPositionToCalcValuePair return a result that's only
checked in an NS_ABORT_IF_FALSE, just put the NS_ABORT_IF_FALSE
conditions inside the function at the places you currently have it
return false, and make the function return void.

That said, I don't think you really even need
BackgroundPositionToCalcValuePair -- why not just make the code that
calls it (in ComputeDistance) do a loop over indices 1 and 3 of the
value just like you do in AddWeighted.


r=dbaron with that fixed

Sorry for the delay getting to this

Apologies. My mercurial setup automatically appends my name on every qref. Fixed.

I've removed all trailing spaces in all the files I've modified.
