I am attempting to repro the API test crash, so far no luck in a release build.

NIT: I think we still add an `override` or `final` even if the overall `class` is marked as `final`.

Wait what?  This object isn't held elsewhere?  Does this mean that if Web Inspector is open and the app containing the `WKWebView` releases the `_WKInspector`, Web Inspector will close?

NIT: Please also remove the forward declare :)

Why?

ditto (:+52)

OK

Hmm, good catch. I think this is only needed if WebInspectorUIProxy is allocated in the wrapper which it is not. It is owned by the inspected WebPageProxy (i.e, there is not -_apiObject or constructInWrapper() calls.) I'll remove it.

`url` is not passed in with a +1 reference and its object lifetime is controlled by client code. Unless it's copied or autoreleased, it will be overreleased by the containing autoreleasepool. I prefer [url copy] as it is a more defensive approach.

Probably not worth making this a bit right now instead of just a boolean. Unless you expect more of these in the future. The size shouldn't be any different, and maybe the generated code might be slower on some platforms.

I assume you can change `> >` to `>>` for all supported compilers now.

Why do we need these copy calls? And if we do, how do these get released?

> Tools/TestWebKitAPI/Tests/WebKitCocoa/WKInspectorDelegate.mm:224
> +    urlToOpen = adoptNS([NSURL URLWithString:@"https://www.webkit.org/"]);

You do not want to adopt an autoreleased NSURL, that would result in an overrelease. Just the regular assignment seems right, or adopt a `[[NSURL alloc] initWithString:...]`.

Hmm, I don't follow this.

Given:

```
[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url]
```

It would be the responsibility of NSURLRequest to copy the input if it needs to hold a reference to the url beyond the current run loop.

If you're getting an over-release somewhere, we should look around elsewhere. I'm afraid this copy would just be covering it up.
