Description David Quesada 2021-12-14 12:38:57 PST
WebCore::createSystemMarketingVersion() and WebKit::systemVersionPlist() have convoluted logic to build the path to SystemVersion.plist and load its contents. Those call sites should be replaced with usage of SPI such as _CFCopySystemVersionDictionary() (which is already being used in PluginBlocklist and WebGLBlocklist)

WebKit coding style says there should be a blank line after the file’s own header before the other includes.

> Source/WebCore/platform/cocoa/SystemVersion.mm:35
> +    CFStringRef productVersion = static_cast<CFStringRef>(CFDictionaryGetValue(systemVersionDictionary.get(), _kCFSystemVersionProductVersionKey));

Typically in newly-written WebKit code we would use auto for the type rather than repeating the same type in both on the left and in the static_cast, and either checked_cf_cast or dynamic_cf_cast instead of static_cast.

WebKit has bridge_cast for this:

    return adoptNS([bridge_cast(productVersion) copy]);

> Source/WebKit/UIProcess/Inspector/mac/WebInspectorUIProxyMac.mm:793
> +    NSDictionary *plist = adoptCF(_CFCopySystemVersionDictionary()).bridgingAutorelease();

We’d like to avoid introducing any autorelease, and there’s no need for it here, we can have a RetainPtr local variable.

    auto plistCF = adoptCF(_CFCopySystemVersionDictionary());
    auto plist = bridge_cast(plistCF.get());

> Source/WebKit/UIProcess/Inspector/mac/WebInspectorUIProxyMac.mm:799

bridge_cast(_kCFSystemVersionBuildVersionKey)
bridge_cast(_kCFSystemVersionProductUserVisibleVersionKey)
