Re: [7/7] git commit: [flex-asjs] [refs/heads/develop] - make getValue a lot faster - 30ms down to 5ms in a complex app for JS in Chrome

Hi Justin

What will happen if some of those values will be null ? For example
styleable.style ?

Re: [7/7] git commit: [flex-asjs] [refs/heads/develop] - make getValue a lot faster - 30ms down to 5ms in a complex app for JS in Chrome

Hi,

Are we really concerned that undefined may of been redefined? (Which would probably cause a whole lot of issues.)

Seems it may be a little expensive to me compared to a straight === undefined.

Thanks,
Justin

I'm not sure whether I understand your answer. 

I don't actually talking about checking between null or undefined - cause
it's obvious it is depends on scenario.

I'm talking about a way in which we are doing it - What do you thing to use
this "typeof a". ?

Thanks,
Piotr

It’s really going to depend on the context / code.

In some case it will be obvious with one to check. In others we may need to change the code to make it clear which values are valid.

Justin

Justin,

It it was discussed and the other were agree for the warnings can you raise
a jira to remove them later on ?

Additional things I was speaking a bit with colleagues from JS team in my
company and asking them about checking "undefined" things. They were saying
that they are checking such things in that way:

if(typeof a !== 'undefined') {
}

And of course if we consider null:

if(typeof a !== 'undefined' && null !== a) {
}

Thoughts ?

Evaluates was meant obviously. Autocorrect can sometime give amusing results.

(styleable.style != null) will cover both cases as well - and probably a few you may not want :-)

Until we sort out the way to do this I've just put in something that worked on both platforms.

Hi Justin,

I saw your commit. Why in that case you cannot have? 

if(styleable.style !== 'undefined' && styleable.style != null)

You will have both cases handled.

Another place where things differ is member variables:

public var a:String;

On the SWF side, this variable defaults to null. On the JS side, it
defaults to undefined right now.

In the case of a member variable, we could set it to null by default on the
JS side to make it more consistent.

For your case, it's a little more tricky, though. Maybe something like
this, if the type on the left side is anything except *? (Numbers and
boolean would need special behavior too, though)

var propA:Object = a.prop || null;

That could have memory or performance implications. Sometimes, trying to
achieve perfect behavior parity can be too expensive. Needs benchmarking
and careful analysis to see if it's worth it, I guess!

Hi,

OK the issue is that we getting different results for AS and JS.

For code like this:
var a:Object = {};
var propA:Object = a.prop;
var propB:* = a.prop;
if (propA === undefined) {
        trace("A undefined");
}
if (propA === null) {

}
if (propB === undefined) {
        trace("B undefined");
}
if (propB === null) {
        trace("B null");
}

On AS we get:
A null
B undefined

On JS we get:
A undefined
B undefined

Which is obvious when you look at the generated code:
 var /** @type {Object} */ a = {};
 var /** @type {Object} */ propA = a.prop;
 var /** @type {*} */ propB = a.prop;

So I’m guessing the compiler should be doing something different with this
line?
 var /** @type {Object} */ propA = a.prop;

So it returns null rather than undefined?

Thanks,
Justin

How are you compiling that? Looks like "mvn compile” only produces the JS version.

HI,

> 1) I see following warnings [1]. 

The warnings are fine or rather the compiler shouldn’t be warning there - this has been discussed before on the list.

That I’ll take a look at.

Thanks,

Hi Justin,

I just tried develop and build framework. 

1) I see following warnings [1]. 
2) I build "DataBindingExampleWithFlexLayout" and run swf version and I see
Null Pointer Exception in SimpleCSSValuesImpl.

Could you please take a look into that ? It seems to be related to your
changes from this commit.

Thanks,
Piotr

Hi,

> What will happen if some of those values will be null ? For example styleable.style ?

Styleable could be I guess but there wasn’t a null check for it before.

Styable.style is unlikely to be null. All test still pass and I’ve tested this with several applications and it never has a null value and there no code in the framework that sets it to null that I could see. The code is significantly faster.

In the other case you are looking a property that's likely to be a string /number so it will exist or not exists, comparing via == or != or if(o) is dangerous as it matches or doesn’t match all sort of things you may not expect.

But as AS and JS behaves a little differently here it would be good to have a discussion on how we should treat null/undefined.

Thanks,
Justin
