Bug 158321 – [WebIDL] 'undefined' should be an acceptable value for nullable parameters

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: Bindings

[Chris Dumez]

'undefined' should be an acceptable value for nullable parameters (and should be converted to null):
https://heycam.github.io/webidl/#es-nullable-type

Our bindings get most of the cases right but there is a bug in our overload resolution code.

This doesn’t seem optimal for parameters that are both optional and nullable.

Also, I don’t think we need to keep the URL to the current draft of WebIDL here.
