Bug 58280 – SerializedScriptValue shouldn't always throw exceptions

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: WebCore JavaScript

[Stephanie Lewis]

<rdar://problem/9252824> javascript in an inconsistent state due to serialization returning an un-handled exception

SerializedScriptValue is used in several places that don't call back into javascript.  The callers should decide whether or not to throw exceptions.

Rather than a bool i'd prefer
enum SerializationErrorMode { Throwing, NonThrowing }

as that makes things more explicit.

The use of Global will also fail on ToT as geoff has renamed everything, i believe you'll want heap/Strong.h and Strong<..>

r-ing due to the style errors, and it failing to build on tot :-(

I don't like this code, i'd prefer:
if (code == SuccessfullyCompleted)
    return;
switch (code) {
case ...:
   throwError(exec, ...)
   return;
default:
   return;

Also UnspecifiedError and ExistingExceptionError should both create a generic exception message (as we apparently don't know what has gone wrong).

r=me, gtk seems to have failed on its own

[Stephanie Lewis]

gtk failure was fallout from removing a header from SerializedScriptValue.h.  It just needed a header include.

Oops, I broke a test.  Patch to fix it coming.

r=me, but the =0/=1 are unnecessary, and i want a follow up patch that removes the implicit checks that obviously must currently exist.
