Bug 21856 – Need a way to store and retrieve preferences for the Web Inspector

• Component: Web Inspector (Deprecated)
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Timothy Hatcher]

The time has come where we need to have preferences that persist for the Web Inspector. So we need a way to access them from C++ and JavaScript and have them persist (preferably in the application's preferences.)

You should just use "enum Type { }" syntax.

These are the same as what the compiler generates if you don't declare the operator at all. Just leave these out and it should work the same.

All these semicolons at the ends of lines after {} are unneeded and should be omitted.

Why not make a shared source file and do this now? Is there some obstacle?

Adam reviewed the windows parts of this. The rest is basically the same from the patch Darin reviewed, with his suggestions fixed.
