Bug 53899 – [Chromium][DRT] some PostDelayedTask() accesses possibly dangling this pointer.

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: Tools / Tests

[Hajime Morrita]

In WebViewHost, there are several calls like: 
    webkit_support::PostDelayedTask(invokeFinishLastTextCheck, static_cast<void*>(this), 0);
But this is not safe when |this| object is deleted before the task callback is invoked.

Pointed at Bug 51013.

Yes.  In that case, we had better use DumpRenderTree/chromium/Taks.h instead of the bare PostDelayedTask().

"WebViewHost::" looks redundant.

ditto.

> Tools/DumpRenderTree/chromium/WebViewHost.cpp:709
> +    postDelayedTask(new WebViewHost::HostMethodTask(this, &WebViewHost::closeWidget), 0);

ditto.

> Tools/DumpRenderTree/chromium/WebViewHost.h:70
> +    class HostMethodTask : public MethodTask<WebViewHost> {

Do we need to make this class public?

> Tools/DumpRenderTree/chromium/WebViewHost.h:76
> +        {}

nit: We usually use "{ }" (a blank between {}).

Good point. Moved to private.
