Description Gregg Tavares 2010-11-24 18:14:33 PST
Need to initialize variables before calling GL because if GL has lost the context then those variables will remain uninitialized.

For example

  GLsize len;
  glGetProgramiv(service_id_, GL_INFO_LOG_LENGTH, &len);
  char* dst = new char[len];

In the case above, if GL has lost the const, len will be uninitialized and quite possibly try to allocate a large amount of memory which may easily cause a crash. The solution is to always initialized the variables.

  GLsize len = 0;  <-----
  glGetProgramiv(service_id_, GL_INFO_LOG_LENGTH, &len);
  char* dst = new char[len];

I have a patch to fix the places in WebKit where this is an issue.

It would be great if you could submit your patch. Run prepare-ChangeLog, edit the modified ChangeLogs appropriately, and webkit-patch upload to upload it. See http://webkit.org/coding/contributing.html .

The code changes look fine, and sorry for the nitpick, but could you please change your editor's settings to not modify existing whitespace, and regenerate the patch? I've been advised by other WebKit reviewers that whitespace changes should not be done in conjunction with code changes. It would be great if you would file a separate bug and submit a patch just for the whitespace cleanups.

I'm surprised this isn't initialized in the constructor.
