Description Ryosuke Niwa 2016-08-20 00:27:49 PDT
XPathNSResolver has a lot of custom binding code because of the need to support JSCustomXPathNSResolver.
Use the callback interface for the custom callback to reduce the amount of custom binding code.

This ",1" thing is really unclear.

How about a separate function for return type that calls GetNativeTypeForCallbacks? Then we don’t need the integer.

GetNativeReturnTypeForCallbacks and GetNativeArgumentTypeForCallbacks. One calls the other and has any special cases that need to be different.

I suggest omitting those blank lines.

Marking r- since it doesn't apply cleanly, but it generally looks good.

It does not seem right to avoid both CustomXPathNSResolver and XPathNSResolver. Shouldn't we make XPathNSResolver a callback interface instead?

These overloads do not look right.

"to have both"

Comment 9 Ryosuke Niwa 2016-08-22 16:01:57 PDT
In the case of XMLNSResolver, there's a WebKit/C++ implementation of it as well, and author can explicitly create it.

So we need to support both the author created callback interface as well as a wrapper.

AFAIK, it is the same for NodeFilter?

What prevents a callback interface from having a C++ implementation?

Ryosuke showed me it would be a lot of work to make XMLNSResolver an actual callback interface so the split seems fine then.

They can’t be optional because then it would be ambiguous as to which C++ method needs to be called.

This does not look right. As per the specification, callback interfaces should be handled with dictionaries below. See isDictionaryOrObjectOrCallbackInterfaceParameter check below.

It seems weird to call GetNativeReturnTypeForCallbacks from GetNativeArgumentTypeForCallbacks.

> Source/WebCore/bindings/scripts/CodeGeneratorJS.pm:4627
> +    return "RefPtr<SerializedScriptValue>&&" if $type eq "SerializedScriptValue";

I don't think we would have a RefPtr<>&& as a return value, but rather a RefPtr<>

> Source/WebCore/bindings/scripts/CodeGeneratorJS.pm:4628
> +    return "const String&" if !$interface->isCallback && $codeGenerator->IsStringType($type);

Could you clarify why we need to distinguish callback interfaces here? Maybe it would be simpler to always return a String and only use "const String&" for arguments.

> Source/WebCore/xml/CustomXPathNSResolver.idl:33
> +callback interface CustomXPathNSResolver {

I think we should find a clearer naming for this interface. I suggest XPathNSResolverCallback.

Something is weird here. Why do we need this class? JSCustomXPathNSResolver is already a subclass of XPathNSResolver AFAIK.

I’d expect you could use *functionName.uid() rather than String(functionName.uid()) and it might even be slightly more efficient. If not, then fine to land like this, but someone should probably fix makeString so it can take a StringImpl* or StringImpl&.

> Source/WebCore/bindings/js/JSDOMConvertXPathNSResolver.h:46

auto?

I’m not entirely sure what this does.

Since CustomXPathNSResolver is an abstract base class, the constructor doesn’t need to be public, so if this is a constructor it can be protected instead.

> Source/WebCore/xml/CustomXPathNSResolver.h:41
> +    virtual CallbackResult<String> lookupNamespaceURIForBindings(const String& prefix) = 0;

Since lookup is a noun, I suggest considering naming these lookUp, although that might be unpleasantly confusing if it doesn’t match the casing of the thing in the DOM.

> Source/WebCore/xml/CustomXPathNSResolver.idl:26
> +// JSCustomXPathNSResolvers are always temporary so using a Strong reference is safe here.

This comment would be better if it said something like "so IsWeakCallback property is not needed here". I was looking at the file to see where it said "Strong" and had to read the change log to figure it out.

Fix tests and (hopefully) GTK build, use `auto`, improve note on [IsWeakCallback].

Thank you for review, Darin!

> String(functionName.uid()) and it might even be slightly more efficient.

*functionName.uid() didn't compile; other occurrences of makeString() with a property key seem to also use String().

> so it can take a StringImpl* or StringImpl&.

That would be a great improvement.

I've checked other DOM callbacks, and it seems like a convention.

Unfortunately, "lookUp" doesn't match DOM casing that is pretty spread over several classes.
