Bug 58030 – [WK2][Qt][GTK] Introduce common use flag for the shared UNIX domain socket IPC implementation

• Component: Platform
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Balazs Kelemen]

A common flag would be more readable then using "PLATFORM(QT) || PLATFORM(GTK)" everywhere in the IPC code.
Furthermore it would be useful if a new platform would like to use the infrastructure.

[Benjamin Poulain]

I like the idea. The keyword "Unix" is not gonna do the trick since Mac OS X is also Unix. :(
So maybe a keyword by the type of IPC used?

[Kenneth Rohde Christiansen]

Mac is Unix, and doesn't this work for Mac as well? Mac is just a specialization of Unix which has another more platform close implementation

[Zoltan Horvath]

Does it make sense to use OS(LINUX)?

It's too restrictive. I think it works on most of the OS-s that is in the group of OS(UNIX) (in Platform.h) - at least on Linux+*BSD+Mac.

Note: the define has been placed in Platform.h instead of WebKit2/config.h because in the final build step the include order is broken and we pick up WebCore's config.h even for the WebKit2 API files. Annoying bug but I do not see any solution for that.

Strange comment; I would just remove it

One solution would be to change the config.h includes to WebKit2/config.h and WebCore/config.h respectively.

Or rename each config.h to represent the component that it belongs to. (i.e. WebCoreConfig.h, WebKit2Config.h, ...). The problem is that it would require a huge change and furthermore I guess not everybody would like that style.

I will do it on commit. However I forget to set the dependency. We need to wait for the GTK SharedMemory patch to be landed first.
