Bug 42104 – Web Inspector: next step of the Remote Debugger. Transition from InspectorFrontend2.idl to Inspector.idl

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

[Ilya Tikhonovsky]

Next iteration of Inspector code generator.
The InspectorFrontend2 was replaced by slightly modified version of
InspectorBackend file (Inspector.idl). At the end all the interface
between WebInspector and inspected page will be specified by this file
and generated by CodeGeneratorInspector (InspectorFrontend.cpp,
InspectorBackend.cpp and InspectorBackend.js). 

Initial version of InspectorFrontend2 had did* functions.
Almost all these functions were the answers for corresponding functions from InspectorBackend.
It is quite simple to generate these functions by processing InspectorBackend.idl.
At the moment InspectorBackend is used for generate binding.
As far as this interface specification will be used for generate both sides of Inspector API
we should be able to mark some argument as 'out'.

WebCore/inspector/Inspector.idl:125
 +          [skipSuccessFlag] void getStyles(in long nodeId, in boolean authOnly, out Value styles);
[skipSuccessFlag] - can we use "out bool success" parameter instead? Or pass this flag to every method?

Please rename "push" key to something more descriptive as we discussed offline.

Hey! Some minor comments.

> +        [custorResponse=didApplyDomChange] void setAttribute(in long elementId, in String name, in String value, out boolean success);

Typo: "custorResponse" should be "customResponse" ?


> +#if defined(ENABLE_OFFLINE_WEB_APPLICATIONS)

This is my fault from a while ago. It should be like the other checks:

  #if defined(ENABLE_OFFLINE_WEB_APPLICATIONS) && ENABLE_OFFLINE_WEB_APPLICATIONS
