Bug 67666 – Binding CodeGenerators don't support Conditional= on constants

• Component: New Bugs
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Aaron Colwell]

It appears that at least CodeGeneratorV8.pm does not honor the Conditional= directive on constants and functions specified in the IDL. I encountered this while trying to convert my MediaSource API methods from using an "#if defined(ENABLE_MEDIA_SOURCE)..." block to [Conditional=MEDIA_SOURCE] on each of the items in the block. I've attached a patch for the changes. 

When I apply this patch I get a bunch of compiler errors (see attached) that appear to indicate that the code generator completely ignored the Condition annotation on the functions and constants.

I'd expect the code generator to not emit code for functions and constants if the Conditional value is 0 or not set like it does for attributes.

I can duplicate the issue with conditional consts but we have code that uses conditional functions so at least that should work:

Nice patch.  We should share more code like this.
