Patch

WebCore/html/HTML5ScriptRunner.h:31
 +  #include "CachedScript.h"
Would be better to do this in the .cpp.

Patch

WebCore/html/HTML5ScriptRunner.cpp:57
 +      if (m_parsingBlockingScript.cachedScript() && m_parsingBlockingScript.watchingForLoad)
I don't thin we should bother moving watchingForLoad() back to being a direct-access member.  I suspect that PendingScript is only going to be moving more and more towards class-ness.

I'm also not sure it maters. :)

Move the implementation stuff into the cpp, and then I think this is good to go.

LGTM!  Note, no need for argument names when they don't add anything ( 78         void setCachedScript(CachedScript* cachedScript);
)

No need to change it here though.  We really need you to have commit-bit so nits are easier to fix on landing. :)

I think this is the second time I've done that. So I'll put together a style-nit patch to fix those problems in WebCore/html/HTML5*

Paperwork is in the mail :)

I think this caused 2 test cases to crash.

Rolled out in above commit.

Sorry Tony.  I just renamed everything under the sun.  :(

[Mark Rowe (bdash)]

We happened to pick up r61638 in one of our internal builds before we noticed that it was rolled out.  It was causing crashes in Safari too.  I spent some time debugging and tracked it down to PendingScript’s lack of a copy constructor and assignment operator.  The fact that HTMLScriptRunner::executePendingScript clears m_parsingBlockingScript by doing:

    m_parsingBlockingScript = PendingScript();

combined with the fact that PendingScript::setCachedScript unregisters / registers the PendingScript as a client of the CachedScript results in PendingScript instances sticking around as clients of CachedScripts even after they’re deleted, since they never have an opportunity to unregister themselves as a client.

A trivial fix for that would be to add a clear method to PendingScript that uses setCachedScript(0) to clear the m_cachedScript member and just zeroes the other members, and then to adopt .clear() in place of the assignment operator above.  Updating the class to inherit from Noncopyable will also avoid this mistake from being repeated.

Hope that helps!

[Adam Barth]

Thanks Mark.  That's very helpful.

LGTM.

Is the crash also untestable, or only the original fix isn't?

We really need better testing hooks for WebCore resource cache. It's such a large and important area of code, and almost untested!

Can a layoutTestController method be added that would make this testable?

The crash showed up on two layout tests, so it is tested.

This was landed without the CQ, the crashes showed up, and it was rolled back just a few revisions later. It was kind of a strange fluke that the nightly was cut in between the landing and the rollback.

Totally agreed. It is scary.

Good idea. I think a method that purges all purgeable buffers would be perfect.

Woh, that would be useful!  We should at least file a bug for that.
