Bug 118354 – Output arguments used in IPC calls should be returned initialised

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: WebKit2

[Simon Pena]

In bug #83683, an assertion was crashing because it was relying on certain values of two output arguments in an IPC call.

Various methods calling the function were initialising these output arguments before using them, but that's useless since they will later be simply declared as ReplyArguments and no assignment will happen that considers previous values (see HandleMessage.h). I did a grep within the source code with 

``egrep -rle 'Messages::[a-zA-Z]+::[a-zA-Z]+::Reply\([a-zA-Z]+' Source/''

which resulted in the following files.

Source/WebKit2/UIProcess/WebPageProxy.cpp
Source/WebKit2/UIProcess/mac/WebPageProxyMac.mm
Source/WebKit2/WebProcess/Storage/StorageAreaMap.cpp
Source/WebKit2/WebProcess/NetworkInfo/WebNetworkInfoManager.cpp

Source/WebKit2/Shared/Plugins/NPObjectProxy.cpp

After the fix I proposed for the bug #83683, I think there was only one modification left coming from Source/WebKit2/Shared/Downloads/Download.cpp (patch coming now). I think all the other usages of ReplyArguments have these arguments properly initialised. (In some cases, even if no explicit assignment is done, these arguments are complex types, where their default constructors deal with a proper initialisation).
