Before this change, layout objects followed a pattern where a
begin method would set up the layout and return a tweaked set
of constraints, and a end method would take the widget dimensions
and return the tweaked dimensions.
As has been pointed out, this process is error prone, because the
scope of the layout objects are not clear and because it is easy
to swap two begins or two ends.
It turns out that it is possible to implement layout with function
scopes in garbage free way. A typical layout changes from
al := layout.Align{Alignment: layout.NE}
cs = al.Begin(ops, cs)
in := layout.Inset{Top: ui.Dp(16)}
cs = in.Begin(c, ops, cs)
txt := fmt.Sprintf("m: %d %s", mallocs, u.profile.Timings)
dims := text.Label{Material: theme.text, Face: u.face(fonts.mono, 10), Text: txt}.Layout(ops, cs)
dims = in.End(dims)
return al.End(dims)
to
al := layout.Align{Alignment: layout.NE}
return al.Layout(ops, cs, func(cs layout.Constraints) layout.Dimensions {
in := layout.Inset{Top: ui.Dp(16)}
return in.Layout(c, ops, cs, func(cs layout.Constraints) layout.Dimensions {
txt := fmt.Sprintf("m: %d %s", mallocs, u.profile.Timings)
return text.Label{Material: theme.text, Face: u.face(fonts.mono, 10), Text: txt}.Layout(ops, cs)
})
})
