Bug 40773 – MathML support doesn't build - access to private member in RenderMathMLRoot.cpp

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

[Nightly r61173]

When MathML is enabled, there is a call to RenderStyle's private method color(), which probably should be replaced with visitedDependentColor(CSSPropertyColor).

WebCore/mathml/RenderMathMLRoot.cpp, line 148: 
   info.context->setStrokeColor(style()->color(), sRGBColorSpace);

In WebCore/rendering/style/RenderStyle.h:
line 1109:
const Color visitedDependentColor(int colorProperty) const;
line 1227..1228:
-- cut --
private:
  // Color accessors are all private to make sure callers use visitedDependentColor instead to access them.
-- cut --

in that block (line 1218):    
const Color& color() const { return inherited->color; }

You are right.

A patch has just been submitted to solve that problem!

See Bug: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40327

The status of that bug should be DUPLICATE, but I haven't the rights to do it.

Thanks, and sorry for inconvenience. I just thought that was a less widespread leftover problem than it is, and so my search was too narrow.

Do not apologize!
Any help, test, etc  about mathml is welcomed as we are only very few ones to work on it.
