IconLoadingClient API doesn't work asynchronously

This is because the WTF::Function is not properly moved into the objective-C block, and in fact it can't be; Blocks must be copyable.

Making it a std::function instead works.

I don't understand what the issue is here. In my testing, WTF::Function works fine with blocks. Can you give an example where it doesn't work?

It doesn't work with blocks that are copied or not called immediately.

Can you give me an example? I made some unit tests that all seem to work when copying a block, but perhaps I am missing something.

e.g. this works:

TEST(FunctionBlock, BlockCopyAsync)
{
    WTF::initializeMainThread();

    typedef void (^BlockType)();

    __block bool value = false;
    BlockType block = ^{ value = true; };
    
    Function<void()> function((BlockType)[block copy]);

    callOnMainThread(WTFMove(function));
    
    TestWebKitAPI::Util::run(&value);
    ASSERT_TRUE(value);
}
