Bug 171260 – WebCore.framework should restrict allowable_clients

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: WebCore Misc.

[Aakash Jain]

On Mac OS X, WebCore.framework is beneath the WebKit umbrella framework, which hides its symbols from other frameworks and apps.

We should do something similar on iOS and make WebCore.framework completely private except for linking few specific frameworks and apps.

See <rdar://problem/15145065>.

“-allowable_client WebKit2” doesn’t make sense because there’s no client with that name. Perhaps you meant “WebKit”.

Funny that "-allowable_client WebKit2" is existing code!

r- for Dan's comment, lack of TVBooks, and also this is breaking the build.

Now failing with TestWebKitAPI.

I wonder if we even need to link these to WebCore now.

Updated patch

Added WebKitTestRunner and TestWebKitAPI as allowable_client.

Will check separately if TestWebKitAPI (and other similar projects) really need to link to WebCore. Will track in separate bugs.

Could you please add a comment with radar numbers for the ones we expect to remove eventually?
