Description luying.pan 2009-09-29 11:47:21 PDT
I've tried this from both epiphany and seed. I'm trying to extend a webkit-based browser to do some automatic browsing. A simple scenario would be to wait for the current page to finish loading and then browse to some other page. So I added a signal handler for WebKitWebView's load-finished signal inside which webkit_web_view_load_uri is called. However this crashes webkit. See attachment for more details.

You seem to give different reasons for this patch in the commit message and in the comments? Can this only happen when a load is cancelled or are there situations where a resource can be requested when a new load has already started? Is it really OK to clean all resources in the place we do it?

The reason is the same, I just explained different aspects of it, maybe I can rephrase one of them to make it better? Suggestions? So what happens is that another provisional load has already been started, but one or more resource loads didn't hit didFinishLoading yet. This doesn't happen if you simple cancel a load, because the hash table is not cleared by cancelling. This seems to happen mainly when the transition is caused by an unload handler or inside the load-finished handler. I think we're clearing the hash table at the correct spot - when the provisional load starts.
