This needs some sort of care in the underflow case. Also, it's possible we don't want to do all this work in the error case (at least on crash?)? I'm not really sure.

This is fairly surprising to me. I don't usually like it when a USE() or ENABLE() is in a header that you can possibly not have (so prefix header or Platform.h/FeatureDefines.h and friends are OK, but here would not be), but 🤷‍♂️

Wonder if we should just add a _wk_cancel category method on UIGR :) this comes up enough

Prediction: this will not be the last patch in this series :)

Quite likely :(

I’ll assert that it should never be zero here, and also avoid incrementing past 0 for the underflow case.

It also looks like the work here is not necessary in the case where the web process terminates, since the gestures should be reset anyways by -cleanupInteraction in WKContentView. I’ll double check by forcing the web process to crash while handling a touchstart.

Good point! I’ll change these to just be ENABLE(IOS_TOUCH_EVENTS) instead.

Sounds good — I’ll add a -_wk_cancel category method on UIGestureRecognizer in this file.
