Description BJ Burg 2017-10-25 09:50:47 PDT
Acko.net has several canvases and I have no way to tell which one was made where. There should be a way to see this, perhaps in an "Initiator" field in the details sidebar.

> +Ref<Inspector::Protocol::Canvas::Canvas> InspectorCanvas::buildObjectForCanvas(InstrumentingAgents& instrumentingAgents, bool captureBacktrace)

This sort of implicitly assumes this method is called underneath canvasAdded and equivalent JS code that creates the context. Perhaps you should write this into the description of the protocol parameter so that the semantics are more clear. For example, "Backtrace that was captured when this canvas context is created".

It would be cool to extract common stack walking code. It could take a lambda(ScriptCallFrame&) to perform the extraction (swizzled index or buildInspectorObject()). Please re-EWS if you do that.

> Source/WebCore/inspector/InspectorCanvasAgent.cpp:395
> +        m_frontendDispatcher->canvasAdded(inspectorCanvas->buildObjectForCanvas(m_instrumentingAgents, true));

I would remove the default parameter value and add 'false' to the other call site just so it's explicit. (If we called this in dozens of places, my opinion would be different.) Can you extract 'true' or 'false' into a local variable with a better name?
