Wait until the ad stops playing; the WebProcess crashes.

So great to have a test for this!

I like to put the waitUntilDone call inside the PluginTest object. That way both waitUntilDone and notifyDone are taken care of by the plugin.

This comment feels a little too Flash-specific, even though Flash is the only plugin we know of that does this.

I think it would be good to mention that we crash because we end up returning to plugin code higher up on the stack but the plugin has already been unloaded. (If that is in fact the reason.)

I like to just call this variable "registrar".

Is there a particular reason why you chose to start the test in NPP_DestroyStream, as opposed to somewhere like NPP_New? It might be worth mentioning.

This will register the class for WebKit2WebProcess.exe, not for npTestNetscapePlugin.dll. But it doesn't matter very much.

You should fix this.

OK, moved it into the PluginTest.

I don't think we've unloaded the plug-in by this time. I updated the comment to:

    // A plug-in may ask us to evaluate JavaScript that removes the plug-in from the
    // page, but expect the object to still be alive when the call completes. Flash,
    // for example, may crash if the plug-in is destroyed and we return to code for
    // the destroyed object higher on the stack. To prevent this, if the plug-in has
    // only one remaining reference, call deref() asynchronously.

Fixed.

Nope, I changed it to start in NPP_New.

I left this as-is.
