Review request for KDE Frameworks.


Changes
-------

Improve structure of the fix. Instead of a separate function to accurately 
handle bookkeeping for the value/value-list dichotomy, now we always treat as a 
value-list in the code and then downgrade to a value if appropriate right 
before we return.

Again, tested by using MDN page on background-property to make sure it parses 
and appears right, and by Acid tests to ensure no further CSS degration.


Repository: khtml


Description
-------

In KHTML commit b52325eb49 I attempted to fix a Coverity error (CID 257928) 
indicating that the CSS background property parser could sometimes leak 
`CSSValueImpl` objects.

Coverity shows that the leak is still possible (and I think it's correct, even 
with my change, in situations where the first return value is upgraded to a 
list while the second return value remains unset).

Because of that I'm trying a different approach to fix the leak by factoring 
out the code that promotes a saved return value into a value-list when needed, 
in the hopes that simpler code will be more correct.

Note for reviewers that, as far as I can see, the idea in the current code is 
that there's 3 levels of values, for 2 separate return values:

1. "currValue", the value found during this pass through the main loop
2. "value", the saved return value when it's still only a single value 
(assigned from currValue)
3. "values", the saved return value when it's now a list of values (assigned 
from value and/or currValue)

Similar concepts apply to currValue2/value2/values2. I am unsure why there's a 
distinction between a single value and a value list in the return value -- it 
may be that this distinction is unneeded.


Diffs (updated)
-----

  src/css/cssparser.cpp 6684f4c 

Diff: https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/127835/diff/


Testing
-------

The updated code compiles without warnings in cssparser.cpp, and runs fine in 
Konqueror.

To test I tried going to the MDN site on the CSS background properties 
(including background-position in particular, since that's the only CSS 
property that requires the second value/return value). I then used the DOM 
Inspector tool to manually verify that the CSS background properties were 
properly read, that the examples rendered as before, etc.

The Acid3 test makes it to 92/100, but I'm pretty sure it was only at 92/100 
before this change as well. ;)


Thanks,

Michael Pyne
