Bug 199925 – Web Inspector: Page: mark any WebCore::Setting inspector override as UNLIKELY

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: Web Inspector

[Devin Rousso]

This way, if the inspector crashes, we don't still use the overridden settings value.

Ideally this is already always nullopt if there is no inspector frontend, right?

Maybe we should just ASSERT(InspectorInstrumentation::hasFrontends()) inside the if.

Shouldn't the InspectorPageAgent have cleaned up after itself in:

    void InspectorPageAgent::willDestroyFrontendAndBackend(Inspector::DisconnectReason)
    {
        ErrorString unused;
        disable(unused);
    }

Which should set all override values to nullopt.

Yes, but what about if the inspector crashes?  We could potentially end up in a state where the override didn't get removed.  Due to the potentially sensitive nature of some of these settings (e.g. CORS), this is an added precaution.

If the:

    • Inspected Page Web Content Process crashes
        - this state goes away and a new process will be spawned with its own WebCore::Settings

    • Inspector Web Content Process crashes
        - InspectorPageAgent::willDestroyFrontendAndBackend should run since a frontend went away

    • UIProcess Crashes
        - all of these processes go away

Am I overlooking something?

Oh, I didn't know we did that =D

In that case, I agree that this isn't "necessary".  I'll change it to just be an `ASSERT`.
