Re: [mylyn-vex-dev] Why is StyleSheet using WeakReference for cached styles?
|
Hi,
I don't know the rational behind the weak references, but I think memory
is not an issue for the stylesheets, and normally a stylesheet will not
change at runtime (although we handle changes of the stylesheet files in
Vex plug-ins at runtime, but a little extra work in this less common use
case should be ok). So using hard references will make the style
handling a lot easier and less error prone.
+1 for my side to replace the weak references with hard references.

Hi,
i'm playing with CSS properties and realized that the styles are
recalculated every time the layout is refreshed. There is a caching
mechanism for calculated styles, but this is using a WeakReference.
Since the styles are apparently not referenced elsewhere, the cached
styles are GC'ed every few seconds and have to be recalculated.
As long a i don't misunderstand the function of the cache (which is very
well possible) i think strong references should be used here, and the
styles should stay in the cache until StyleSheet#flushStyles is called.
