please put this in a separate header file.  one class/struct per header please.

i would give this a better name because we already have WebData.  what you have
here it seems is a container for a |const char*| and a length.  that means this
class does not own the data.  WebDependentData or WebDataPiece might be good
names.

note: these do not need WEBKIT_API since they are implemented inline.  you
only need WEBKIT_API on methods that need to be exported from webkit.dll.

> WebKit/chromium/public/WebBlobData.h:86
> +        WebRawData data;

have you considered using WebData here instead?  why do you want this
class to not own the data?

Renamed to WebDependentData and moved to a separate file.

Done.

Yes, I have looked into WebData, but decided not to use it because we want to avoid copying the string data. Since the lifetime of the string data is controlled by the BlobData and thus WebBlobData, we do not need to use WebData to copy it over.

This scares me because you are putting a memory address into a data structure,
and relying on the guy who created the WebBlobData to keep the memory address
valid.  It would be much better to use WebData.

Why don't you change WebCore::BlobDataItem::data to be of type RefPtr<SharedBuffer>
instead of CString?  Then, the conversion from WebData to RefPtr<SharedBuffer>
would be super cheap.

I can't use SharedBuffer since it is not thread-safe. I have to make the representation of string data be thread-safe so that the blob data can be passed from worker thread to main thread.

Changed to do something similar to WebData by introducing WebThreadSafeData to wrap RawData.

where is RawData defined?  i cannot find it in the source tree.

please take advantage of WebPrivatePtr<T>.  that is the new way of wrapping
a reference counted WebCore type.  see WebNode.h for example.

It is defined in BlobData.h in the patch for bug 46543 (https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=46543).
Note that I am going to update this patch to move RawData out of "struct BlobDataItem" to allow forward declaration.
