Bug 165987 – warning: the compiler can assume that the address of ‘thisObject’ will always evaluate to ‘true’ [-Waddress] in WebCore::JSHTMLDocument::getOwnPropertySlot

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: WebCore JavaScript

[Michael Catanzaro]

Seems ASSERT_GC_OBJECT_LOOKS_VALID is causing a warning again (like in r194303). Ways to fix this:

 * Use ASSERT_THIS_GC_OBJECT_INHERITS instead of ASSERT_GC_OBJECT_INHERITS. The only difference is ASSERT_THIS_GC_OBJECT_INHERITS doesn't have the null check that triggers the warning, so the behavior is what we want, but it'd be evil because here we are checking |thisObject| which is a normal parameter, not |this|.
 * Add more macros that do the same thing, with different names.
 * Just pass the original pointer rather than taking the address of a reference.

If this starts happening in more cases we should probably go with the second option, but the last option seems cleanest for now.
