Seems like we could use removeAllMatching to remove while iterating, and call didReceiveMessage on the ones we don’t remove instead of having two loops and a boolean.

What guarantees non-trivial for this string? Maybe these are always string constants. If so, consider making the argument ASCIILiteral instead of const String&.

Even type could be ASCIILiteral instead of const String&.

Should be able to use std::size instead of WTF_ARRAY_LENGTH in new code. We can probably get rid of WTF_ARRAY_LENGTH.

auto?

auto?

Hm... that sounds a bit fishy given removeAllMatching could resize the buffer. I'd rather separate the removal part after the loop where we don't have a pointer anymore.

Yes.

Oh, I thought _s creates ASCIILiteral. I guess it directly creates String string instead. Good to know.

Oh, that's a good point. Done.

Oh, actually, I should be using createWebViewWithIPCTestingAPI that I had recently added. Done that instead.

No, I don’t agree.

Are you worried about didReceiveMessage calling out while iterating m_messageObservers and then m_messageObservers or this being changed out form under us? If so, then that’s *already* a problem in the code above, which needs to change.

You were right, _s *does* create ASCIILiteral.

I meant that the argument named type could be ASCIILiteral. Yes, "type"_s already is.
