Bug 148442 – Fix crash due to animationDidEnd called on deallocated RemoteLayerTreeHost

• Component: WebCore Misc.
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Wenson Hsieh]

WebKit may crash when calling -[PlatformCAAnimationRemote animationDidStop] if the PlatformCAAnimationRemote's layer tree host has been deallocated.

Reproducible nearly 100% of the time -- visit http://whsieh.github.io/examples/layerhost-crash.html and click the link. Works best when running an iOS simulator on a debug build where you can see the stack trace upon the crash.

1) You can do the hash table lookup only once.

2) Should you also cover the case in clearLayers()?

1. Good point. Fixed.

2. clearLayers is only invoked in the destructor of RemoteLayerTreeHost, which ensures that all animation delegates are first invalidated. It might be better to lift the invalidation logic from ~RemoteLayerTreeHost to clearLayers() instead though.

Ah! No, that's probably fine. OK.

Please consider making your test a layout test (it seems like a pretty easy one).
