Bug 151250 – [EFL][GTK] Remove use of String::format() in versionForUAString()

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: WebKit EFL

[Gyuyoung Kim]

As String::format() will be deprecated due to security problem, reimplement versionForUAString() using a macro.

This is wrong. It will return a reference to an already-destroyed string object.

Here’s how to do it:

    static const char* versionForUAString()
    {
#define MAKE_VERSION(major, minor) #major "." #minor
    return MAKE_VERSION(USER_AGENT_GTK_MAJOR_VERSION, USER_AGENT_GTK_MINOR_VERSION);
#undef MAKE_VERSION
    }

In the EFL case we also need to change the type from const String& to const char*.

I see. I update the patch as well as platformVersionForUAString() is modified.

This won’t work. I believe this will yield the string:

"name.sysnamename.machine"

This change should not be made. Testing would have shown this is incorrect.

> Source/WebCore/platform/gtk/UserAgentGtk.cpp:109
> +    return MAKE_VERSION(cpuDescriptionForUAString(), "Mac OS X");

This won’t work. I believe this will yield the string:

"cpuDescriptionForUAString()Mac OS X"

This change should not be made. Testing would have shown this is incorrect.

standardUserAgent in UserAgentEfl.cpp can still be improved so it doesn’t convert the const char* returned by versionForUAString to a String for the local variable version every time it’s called

const char* is converted to a String using ASCIILiteral in new patch.
