Why is this PLATFORM(QT) guard added here? (the ChangeLog doesn't explain)

Won't the missing inclusion break the Chromium build?

It looks like this is at least missing a FIXME.

Then again, maybe it's not too difficult to fix. What about this?

PluginView* view = pluginViewForInstance(npp);
bool popupsAllowed = view ? view->arePopupsAllowed() : false;

Any explanation why this is needed for the Qt port but not for Chromium for example? (I'm just curious :)

Why is the initialization done different for the Qt port?

Or is this not actually Qt specific but specific to rvct?

What compile errors did you encounter?

I'm going to say r- because I think some of the #ifdefs are not correct (such as the string init one) and there's a little bit of context missing for some of the changes.

In general it looks good though.

This should be fixed by changing inclusion order. At the time of the port it was a problem.

Comment from Chromium says: // We don't use WebKit's page caching, so this implementation is just a stub.
I chose to use caching :)

Original code crashes at runtime. Most likely wrong constructor is called. This is again may be related to CString.h inclusion. Will check it if #ifdef can be removed now.

Compilation errors appear on maemo. Will double check this.

Just checked removing #if !PLATFORM(QT). It has to be 
    explicit WebCoreStringResource(const AtomicString& string)
        : m_plainString(reinterpret_cast<const WTF::String &>(string))
        , m_atomicString(reinterpret_cast<const WTF::String &>(string))
to specify which to use
"WTF::String::String(const QString &) or
"WTF::String::String(const WTF::String &)

I'm confused by this. It looks like you're accessing an NPObject that is stored on a PassScriptInstance and creating a new PassScriptInstance for it? Why wouldn't we just want the original PassScriptInstance?

I think I'm probably missing some subtlety :)

Would it be possible to put the QT-specific code in a WebCore/platform/qt/PlatformBridge.h and make use of the PlatformBridge::pluginScriptableObject() call that Android and Chromium use?

[Vlad]

I'm trying as we speak :) Complication is that QT has QT plugins.
if (widget->isPluginView())() is for qt plugins and pluginView->bindingInstance() returns v8 object already and then returns:)

[Vlad]

I'm trying to make it look like this

PassScriptInstance ScriptController::createScriptInstanceForWidget(Widget* widget)
{
...
#if PLATFORM(QT)
    // Create v8 object for QT plugins first
    PassScriptInstance instance = PlatformBridge::pluginScriptableObjectInstance(widget);
    if (instance)
        return instance;
#endif
    if (widget->isFrameView())
        return 0;
    NPObject* npObject = PlatformBridge::pluginScriptableObject(widget);
    if (!npObject)
        return 0;
...

[Vlad]

Confusing part for me is that JSC implementation does:
_NPN_ReleaseObject() in PassScriptInstance PluginView::bindingInstance() after npobject retrieved from PluginView. 
V8 implementation in 
PassScriptInstance ScriptController::createScriptInstanceForWidget() 
doesnt do that... Does this mean that Chromium PlatformBridge::pluginScriptableObject(widget) already has ref counter decreased for this npobject?

This can't be right.  It's not Qt-specific.  We need to integrate V8 with DOMWrapperWorld in genera.

I don't understand this code.  Does Qt use different string types than other ports?  reinterpret_cast is almost always wrong.

This ifdefs point to a missing abstraction.  Perhaps a ScriptLock object?

I cannot say for JSC, but V8 bindings introduce a weak reference to a wrapper which owns the NPObject and would deref NPObject when it gets unreachable via V8.

can returned result by empty (on some failure path?)  Or V8ScriptInstance will take care of this?

It is not Qt specific code and ifdef should be removed. I was trying to isolate Qt+v8 related changes.

As I said earlier without explicit cast compiler gives an error b/c of confusion b/n
"WTF::String::String(const QString &) or
"WTF::String::String(const WTF::String &)

We have solved this one differently now:

[Simon Hausmann]

These changes are not needed anymore, after Andreas and I separated them in the trunk.
