Bug 151992 – [UNIX] Add support for windowless NPAPI plugins with no UI in non X11 platforms

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

[Carlos Garcia Campos]

We are currently disabling all plugins when running under wayland, for example. There are some plugins, like the one used by extensions.gnome.org, that don't do any rendering, so there's not reason not to support those plugins under wayland or any other unix non-x11 platform.

Won't this be called with windowless? It looks like the only criteria for platformPaint() to call this one is whether it's running under X, and I'd expect windowed plugins to do their own painting?

You are right, I forgot to return early in NetscapePlugin::platformPaint() like I do in other windowless only methods. Good catch!

While I’m not a platform expert I think I can review.

I don’t think the const here is needed or helpful.

> Source/WebKit2/WebProcess/Plugins/Netscape/NetscapeBrowserFuncs.cpp:537
> +            *reinterpret_cast<Display**>(value) = downcast<PlatformDisplayX11>(display).native();

Strange that the WebCore prefix is not needed here but is needed on the line above.

Please don’t delete the blank line here that separates the forward declarations from the class definition. Not clear that we need to put #if around a forward declaration. If we do, then please put it in a separate paragraph with spaces above and below the #if/#endif

> Source/WebKit2/WebProcess/Plugins/Netscape/unix/NetscapePluginUnix.h:31
> +#include <WebCore/GraphicsContext.h>

I think we could use forward declarations for GraphicsContext and IntRect in this file rather than including the header, which is typically better.

> Source/WebKit2/WebProcess/Plugins/Netscape/x11/NetscapePluginX11.h:31
> +#if PLUGIN_ARCHITECTURE(X11)
> +#include "NetscapePluginUnix.h"

We normally put a blank line here between the #if and the #include.

> Source/WebKit2/WebProcess/Plugins/Netscape/x11/NetscapePluginX11.h:38
> +class NetscapePluginX11 final: public NetscapePluginUnix {

We normally put a space after final before ":".

> Source/WebKit2/WebProcess/Plugins/Netscape/x11/NetscapePluginX11.h:46
> +private:

We normally put a blank line here before private.

Ok, removed.

It's not needed, there's a using namespace in this file.

I don't think we need ifdefs.

Ok.
