V8/JS bindings should not perform type checks if the parameter has Callback attribute

• Component: WebCore Misc.
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Kinuko Yasuda]

It causes compile error if an overloaded function has callback parameters.

i think it might be cleaner to format this code as:

if (IsStringType($type)) {
  ...
} elsif ($parameter->extendedAttributes->{"Callback"}) {
  ...
} elsif (!IsNativeType($type)) {
  ...
}

same comment for CodeGeneratorV8.pm.

i believe you need to change JS/JSTestObj.cpp too.

Fixed.

Wasn't very sure if we want to check that for native types... but maybe it would contribute to readability.

Fixed.  (The update in the previous patch was an error actually - this time I added a new overloaded method with callback arg and updated both {V8,JS}TestObj.cpp.)

Why did this test go in without any actual JavaScript regression tests? Presumably this was done to change real-world behavior, not just to change the bindings source code in a way that is not visible from web pages.

We don’t want bug fixes going in without regression tests. I don’t see any reason for this to be an exception!

I’m going to change this to a review- until I find out why there are no regression tests.

Oops, I see now. A compilation error. My bad. Adding back Dumi’s review+.

Thanks for examining this... ok to go now?   Currently there's no such IDL that has overloaded function with callbacks (I was going to add one and got a compilation error).   I'll double check that this doesn't change anything for existing IDLs.

I have no objection. I didn’t review the patch, but I see no reason to reverse Dumi’s review+ now that I understand.
