Why does this return RefPtr instead of Ref? Can it return null?

Seems a bit wordy. Do we really need “Default=Undefined”? What is the default if it’s not undefined?

Should probably be using throwVMTypeError, which should be overloaded as needed if it’s not already. And should have custom message, I think, like all the many other uses of throwVMTypeErrror.

Should be using throwVMTypeError, as above. Also, should this check for infinity as well, or only NaN?

> Source/WebCore/bindings/js/ReadableJSStream.cpp:224
> +                throwVMError(&state, createDOMException(&state, RangeError));

Should make a helper function throwVMRangeError and use it.

> +                throwVMError(&state, createDOMException(&state, TypeError));

Should be using throwVMTypeError, as above.

Missing space before colon. Also, I think this class should be marked "final".

The return value should remain specific, ReadableJSStream rather than ReadableStream. The other call site can and should convert from one RefPtr to the other. If you’re worried about the exact code generated we could make sure we have the right kind of move constructor to make that work efficiently with no reference count manipulation.

I am not sure it’s exactly right that “call with script state” automatically also means “raises exception”.

It can return null in case an exception is thrown.

We need to set the parameters as optional according the spec.

If not setting "Default=" explicitly, the binding generator should probably expect the DOM class to provide different methods.
But "optional without default" parameters are apparently not supported yet by the binding generator.

In our case, it is anyway more convenient to use "Default=..." so that the DOM class has just one constructor.

OK

OK

OK.
I think to recall there is already a move constructor that could do that.

The same check is done for methods called with ScriptState.
A specific keyword might be used to control this but I am not sure this is actually worth it.
