IDL files use #if defined(ENABLE_whatever) instead of #if ENABLE_whatever

• Component: Platform
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Mark Mentovai]

IDL files use #if defined(ENABLE_whatever) instead of #if ENABLE(whatever).  This is a problem now that JavaScriptCore/wtf/Platform.h provides definitions for features that are supposed to be disabled, and features that are supposed to be disabled are properly #defined to 0.

For example, in Chromium, we want WebKit database support off, and build with -DENABLE_DATABASE=0, but files like WebCore/page/DOMWindow.idl check for:

#if defined(ENABLE_DATABASE)

Because ENABLE_DATABASE is #defined (although to 0), the preprocessor allows the conditionalized section in.  The check should be changed to:

#if ENABLE(DATABASE)

[Mark Mentovai]

Followup: the IDL files should use #if ENABLE_WHATEVER directly, because they are preprocessed without wtf/Platform.h being included, and the ENABLE() macro is not available.

grep  -r ^#if.\*ENABLE_ .

I tested this out in a regular WebKit Mac build, and it seems to do what's expected of it.

Change is fine but please add a description and bug url to the changelog.
