From edf316a5b6fc2e5e6461cd65c29cad5c4b611256 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Mart=C3=ADn=20Lucas=20Golini?= Date: Fri, 10 Jul 2026 20:01:56 -0300 Subject: [PATCH] Optimize CSS attribute selector matching: Resolve standard property definitions and data-attribute classification when selectors are parsed, avoiding repeated specification lookups and attribute-name checks during matching. Fast-path existence-only data selectors without retrieving their values, while preserving all attribute operator behavior. Add standard-property coverage and an attribute-focused benchmark showing a 41.7% reduction in matching time. --- .../eepp_css_selector_optimization_plan.md | 17 ++++ .../eepp/ui/css/stylesheetselectorrule.hpp | 4 +- src/benchmarks/inline_layout_benchmark.cpp | 49 ++++++++++ src/eepp/ui/css/stylesheetselectorrule.cpp | 90 ++++++++++--------- src/tests/unit_tests/uihtml_tests.cpp | 4 + 5 files changed, 120 insertions(+), 44 deletions(-) diff --git a/.agent/plans/eepp_css_selector_optimization_plan.md b/.agent/plans/eepp_css_selector_optimization_plan.md index b27a7c25a..cce24945f 100644 --- a/.agent/plans/eepp_css_selector_optimization_plan.md +++ b/.agent/plans/eepp_css_selector_optimization_plan.md @@ -907,6 +907,23 @@ with both `applyPseudo == false` and `applyPseudo == true` where applicable. # Phase 8: Reduce Attribute Selector Cost +**Status: Implemented** + +## Implementation State + +- Attribute names are hashed once during parsing to resolve and cache the standard + `PropertyDefinition`, avoiding repeated stylesheet-specification lookups while matching. +- Data-attribute classification is cached in each parsed attribute selector. +- Existence-only data selectors return after the map lookup without constructing or reading a + value string; value comparisons continue to use the stored `StyleSheetProperty` string directly. +- Tag, ID, and class checks remain ahead of attribute matching so unrelated elements reject early. +- Existing coverage exercises all supported data-attribute operators, including empty-value + existence.
