I understand the logic of putting start before end but I htink it would be better just to sort alphabetically like many -- but not all :( -- of these items are.

Shouldn't this be guarded by "FILE_WRITER" instead of "BLOB"?

I suspect when you change the return type of error() (see below) that you can remove this #include and simmply have a fwd declaration for FileError.

When I was doing some coding in Chromium, I saw this practice of making the destructor private and making the RefCounted class a friend. It looks like a good practice, so please consider it.

"Enum members should user InterCaps with an initial capital letter." -- http://webkit.org/coding/coding-style.html
Also I wonder if empty should be init -- see comment in idl file.

Lastly, it looks like you are keeping these in step with the idl file. It seems like there should be a compile assert somewhere to verify this.

This should be a FileError* 

"* If a function’s result is an object, but ownership is not being transferred, the result should be a raw pointer. This includes most getter functions.
* If a function’s result is a new object or ownership is being transferred for any other reason, the result should be a PassRefPtr. Since local variables are typically RefPtr, it’s common to call release in the return statement to transfer the RefPtr to the PassRefPtr."

In http://www.w3.org/TR/file-writer-api/, this is INIT (instead of EMPTY).

Ideally comments start with a capital and end with a "."

add "raises (FileException)"

add "raises (FileException)"

add "raises (FileException)"

In other idl files, I've noticed that "attribute" is vertically aligned. (Space or readonly is always left, just like the specs.)

Sounds like a fine idea; done.

Can't do that--see below re: COMPILE_ASSERT.

> Also I wonder if empty should be init -- see comment in idl file.

Yup--typo based on my using FileReader as a template.

> Lastly, it looks like you are keeping these in step with the idl file. It seems like there should be a compile assert somewhere to verify this.

The generated JSFileWriter.cpp does this automatically.  It contains
lines like this:

  COMPILE_ASSERT(0 == FileWriter::INIT,
FileWriterEnumINITIsWrongUseDontCheckEnums);

...which incidentally force the enum to be INIT, not Init.

This is copied right from FileReader; I'm assuming the point is that
the reference to the FileError might outlive the member variable
[perhaps if someone calls abort() after a previous failure led to a
call to didFail()?].  So ownership is not transferred as such, but
shared.  It seems like FileWriter could end up in a similar situation.

Actually, it should probably be FILE_SYSTEM, as this is really only
useful for the filesystem API for now, and we don't really need a
separate flag just for it.  Fixed [all references].

Fixed.

Here they're far too short to be actual sentences; do you think it's
an improvement to make them look like ungrammatical sentences, or
better to flesh them out into longer comments?  I feel like either
would make them less readable/useful.

Fixed [abort too].

Done.

Changed as discussed offline.
Note that the new event names in EventNames.h are unconditional, as with all the others there.

[Kinuko Yasuda]

(Oh so now it's guarded by FILE_WRITER... looks good to me:))

> +class FileWriter : public RefCounted<FileWriter>, public ActiveDOMObject, public EventTarget {

One point; as for ActiveDOMObject... as far as I believe we need to add the class name in IsActiveDomType method in WebCore/bindings/scripts/CodeGeneratorV8.pm to make it kept in the wrapper in v8.  Same for FileReader.   (Am I right?)
