Add pass-throughs for NPObject/v8::Value marshalling to WebBindings

• Component: WebKit API
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Greg Billock]

Expose a couple of methods to WebBindings to expose type translation from V8NPUtils. This makes complex type translation possible from the API client side.

This returns a v8::Value, not a v8::Object.  Maybe the name should be convertNPVariantToV8Value?  or, maybe we could even use short-cuts like:

  toV8Value
  toNPVariant

I'm happy to switch to that. I was basically copying the V8NPUtils names exactly to make the wrapping very clear. It looked like other WebBindings and Web* APIs tended to do that, although not universally.

nit: note the 'using namespace WebCore' at the top of this file.  you can drop the WebCore:: prefixes.

ditto

is the static_cast necessary?  can you just get by passing 0 or nullptr?

Yeah, that works. Changed.
