From d29dbb1cc1bd36414f63bb023118a81138464cee Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Mart=C3=ADn=20Lucas=20Golini?= Date: Fri, 10 Jul 2026 19:31:15 -0300 Subject: [PATCH] Optimize stylesheet matching with class-based indexing: Index class-anchored selectors by one mandatory class hash so widgets only evaluate rules associated with their own classes instead of scanning every class-only rule in the global bucket. Preserve selector correctness by validating the complete rule after candidate lookup, and retain stylesheet source order across independent index buckets for equal-specificity cascade resolution. Update index clearing, copying, marker removal, and style insertion paths. Add focused candidate coverage and a legacy full-scan benchmark, showing a 63% lookup-time reduction on a class-heavy stylesheet. --- .../eepp_css_selector_optimization_plan.md | 22 +++++++ include/eepp/ui/css/stylesheet.hpp | 7 ++ include/eepp/ui/css/stylesheetselector.hpp | 2 +- .../eepp/ui/css/stylesheetselectorrule.hpp | 16 +++++ include/eepp/ui/uiwidget.hpp | 5 +- src/benchmarks/inline_layout_benchmark.cpp | 59 +++++++++++++++++ src/eepp/ui/css/stylesheet.cpp | 64 +++++++++++++++++-- src/eepp/ui/css/stylesheetselector.cpp | 2 +- src/tests/unit_tests/uihtml_tests.cpp | 34 ++++++++++ 9 files changed, 201 insertions(+), 10 deletions(-) diff --git a/.agent/plans/eepp_css_selector_optimization_plan.md b/.agent/plans/eepp_css_selector_optimization_plan.md index 0abd72a47..0771d2c53 100644 --- a/.agent/plans/eepp_css_selector_optimization_plan.md +++ b/.agent/plans/eepp_css_selector_optimization_plan.md @@ -631,6 +631,28 @@ Ensure class mutation APIs update hashes correctly. # Phase 6: Add Class-Based Stylesheet Index +**Status: Implemented** + +## Implementation State + +- `StyleSheet` maintains a class-hash index in addition to the existing global, tag, ID, and + tag+ID index. +- Each style is owned by exactly one candidate bucket.
