• Component: WebKit2
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

Processes spawned by SnowLeopard's WebProcess attempt to install WebKit2 shims

This causes all processes spawned by WebProcess to crash, not finding the shim dylib.

In radar as <rdar://problem/9457633>

You will now need to also remove the Snow Leopard guards added in r86734 to WebProcessMainMac.mm.

Patch v2 - Remove that second set of guards, also.

This is a dangling pointer. You need to declare a CString.

I'd assign getenv to a pointer and check for null before calling String::fromUTF8.

In WebKit2 we usually write this

for (size_t i = 0, count = values.size(); i < count; ++i)

Could you assert that this is the case?

I think you can use mutableData here, instead of doing a const_cast.

Yikes, yup.

Okay.

Sweet.

Yup.

I thought mutableData() would always make a copy.  Apparently it doesn't!  Will-do.

These could take CStrings or char*, it's up to you :)

Whoops, forgot to nuke this one.  Will followup.

Mostly landed in r86792

Nuked the #include r86797

It seems like this patch broke waterfall :(

Never ending comedy of errors, this one...  *sigh*

Disabled again in 86814

I'll make sure both basic browsing and the video layouttests work on SnowLeopard before reenabling.
