Bug 127703 – Windows tests broken after r162816

• Status: NEW
• Component: Tools / Tests

[Roger Fong]

r162816 is causing all Windows tests to crash.

The reason is because the test infrastructure now accesses the static class variable gAccessibilityEnabled variable defined in AXObjectCache.h and initialized in AXObjectCache.cpp.

However, we are accessing the variable from WebCoreTestSupport not WebCore, which does not include AXObjectCache.cpp and thus does not initialize the variable.

As a result, when we call the method, (from Internals.cpp in the WebCoreTestSupport project) we crash because we have not initialized the gAccessibilityEnabled variable in any cpp in the project.

Solutions:
We could just initialize it somewhere (like in Internals.cpp) but then we have a copy of that initializing in both WebCore/AXObjectCache.cpp and WebCoreTestSupport/Internals.cpp

Or we could just include AXObjectCache.cpp, have WebCore copy the file over to the build directory, etc etc etc, which is kind of strange because we don't do that for any other files in WebCoreTestSupport.

gAccessibilityEnabled is exported from WebKit, so I don't see why this doesn't work. The variable should be shared across dynamic libraries.

didn't read this before uploading the patch (which does seem to fix the issue)

That is confusing, and in fact if i'm initializing the variable in WebCoreTestSupport.lib and WebKit.dll shouldn't there be some kinda multiple definition clash? (I did not see this, when running the tests with my patch in place)

Won't the two gAccessibilityEnabled get out of sync now?

Right, which is why I was thinking about having WebCoreTestSupport compile AXObjectCache.cpp on its own. Or alternatively maybe just get rid of WebCoreTestSupport and stick it in WebCore (like it is on Mac??). 

I'm not quite sure why we need the separate project.

[Roger Fong]

Ignore all the things I said.

Alexey and I think that there's something odd with how Windows data exporting works.

What we should do is to make the added function non inline and then export the functions.

Double ChangeLog.

> Source/WebCore/accessibility/AXObjectCache.cpp:112
> +void AXObjectCache::enableAccessibility() { gAccessibilityEnabled = true; }
> +void AXObjectCache::disableAccessibility() { gAccessibilityEnabled = false; };

Please format these as normal multi-line functions, and remove the trailing semicolon.

Yup.
