[Webkit-unassigned] [Bug 234606] [Cairo] Add support for premultiplied alpha interpolated color stop gradients in the Cairo backend

--- Comment #1 from Adrian Perez <aperez at igalia.com> ---
AFAIU, with Cairo we set the colors for the stops un-premultiplied (because
there is no other option, that's what the public API allows), then Cairo
pre-multiplies color values while building its internal state, then internally
always does calculations using premultiplied values, meaning that when painting 
a gradient it will interpolate stop colors which are premultiplied — there
is no way of telling Cairo to calculate interpolaton of gradient stops
un-premultiplied. Meaning: with Cairo the way it paints gradiants the output
is correct for CSS, but not SVG/Canvas.

(Take this with some big grains of salt, I am not a graphics expert, what
I *think* know is from looking sometimes inside Cairo in the last months.)
