Bug 146466 – Web Inspector: no need to allocate protocolErrors array for every dispatched backend command

• Component: Web Inspector
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Brian Burg]

This can be reused per domain dispatcher, removing one InspectorArray allocation per dispatched command in the normal case.

While this is done, can also extract the code for getting the parameters object out of the payload into the dispatcher's main dispatch method. This removes more duplicated code from every generated command binding.

Patch (no tests)

[Brian Burg]

This patch makes some subtle changes to how errors are reported. I'd like to write a test to cover the existing error cases before landing this, so we have a clear idea of the behavior change.

This patch modifies the inspector protocol generator. Please ensure that you have rebaselined any generator test results (i.e., by running `Tools/Scripts/run-inspector-generator-tests --reset-results`)

Nice! Much cleaner

Duplicated in the changelog?

This is only ever used alongside "> 0". Maybe it should just be `bool hasProtocolErrors()`?

It broke the WinCairo build: https://build.webkit.org/builders/WinCairo%2064-Bit%20Release/builds/48696

Interesting. Looks like a symbol isn't getting exported. Alex: I wonder if it's our old friend "the overly zealous symbol stripper".

I deleted the WebKitBuild directory on my bot.  I'm just going to close my eyes and hope this magically fixes it.
