           Summary: [chromium] Refactor canvas, plugin, and video drawing

           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2

>From https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=73059:

CCLayerImpl-derived classes all currently handle drawing themselves internally, making direct GL calls.  This is problematic for several reasons.  Testing these layers is tricky because testing must be done at a mock GL interface level rather than at a higher abstract level.  It makes culling closely dependent on how each layer draws.  It also makes some optimizations like layer squashing impossible.

To fix this, CCLayerImpl-derived classes should produce a set of quads to render with some basic information in them about how they are to be drawn.  This list can then be processed and drawn in a more data-driven and abstract manner.



There are three CCLayerImpl-derived classes which still handle drawing internally: CCCanvasLayerImpl, CCVideoLayerImpl, and CCPluginLayerImpl. These should use the data-driven approach.
