Re: [webkit-dev] Adding new JS bindings, having slight problems
Good day, Nebojša. Overall I am with Adam, that if it's ECMAScript feature it should go in VM itself (JavaScriptCore or v8). However, as a prototype hacking bindings might be easier.

Re: [webkit-dev] Adding new JS bindings, having slight problems
This API is going to be a separate standard related to EcmaScript, say
something like a library - so implementers of EcmaScript core standard
wouldn't be obligated to implement it. Dual track also enables both groups
to move at their pace and not block each other.
We are also trying to reuse much of ICU functionality for Chromium/Safari
implementation, and I am not sure V8/JSC has dependency on ICU at all, while
WebKit/Chromium do.
Also Darin Fisher hinted we should probably do it in bindings/v8, but maybe
he didn't have enough info at the time.

There's lots of stuff in WebIDL that we haven't needed to implement
yet.

Hi,
I am working on JavaScript API that implements basic i18n operations,
like
formatting numbers, dates, sorting... We are actually working with
EcmaScript committee on standardizing the API.
My goal is to have a prototype to showcase for the next meeting (mid
November) and I am making local changes in my chromium checkout (but
working
on WebKit part of the code).
I started with the simplest part, Locale definition and came up with
simple
(not complete) idl for it. What I did:
1. Added new top level WebCore/i18n directory (we can debate that later)
2. Added JSLocale.idl, JSLocale.h and JSLocale.cpp files to it
3. Updated WebCore.gypi and WebCore.gyp files so proper project is
generated
for XCode.
module core {
// Construct with browser locale or with user specified one.
interface [Constructor] JSLocale {
readonly attribute DOMString language;
readonly attribute DOMString script;
readonly attribute DOMString region;
readonly attribute DOMString variants;
void availableLocales(out ObjectArray locales);
void maximizedLocale(out JSLocale locale);
void minimizedLocale(out JSLocale locale);
};
}
Everything (chromium) compiles properly.
I hit couple problems with this:
1. I can't name my new files/interface Locale.{idl, cpp, h} since Mac and
Windows have case insensitive file names, and compiler trips on system
header locale.h. I am using JSLocale for that reason, but I would like to
hear if somebody has a solution for this.
2. What is a proper way to specify a constructor? I've browsed the code
and
it seems nobody uses constructors, or they specify custom ones. I would
like
to be able to do:
var loc = new Locale();
or
var loc = new Locale(en);
Specifying interface [Constructor, Constructor(in DOMString locale)]
JSLocale doesn't work (script errors). This should work according to the
WebIDL spec.
3. I would like some of my functions to be static and some prototypes.
WebIDL says that prototype is default for methods. I've heard we added
support for static methods recently.
4. How would one decide what parameter goes into static PassRefJSLocale
create() method? Some put Frame* some put ScriptContent and other random
parameters - and this doesn't seem to be idl related.
I would like to contribute on improving documentation related to the
bindings, once I actually succeed using them :).

Nebojša Ćirić

Re: [webkit-dev] Adding new JS bindings, having slight problems
Hi Anton, Current API (and examples) are here http://wiki.ecmascript.org/doku.php?id=strawman:i18n_api, but in short I would like to be able to: var availableLocales = Locale.availableLocales(); // Static method, returns an array of available Locale-s. var loc = new Locale(sr); // Create Locale object with sr locale info var maxLocale = loc.maximizedLocale(); // Try to guess script and region - prototype method var language = maxLocale.language; // returns sr var script = maxLocale.script; // returns Cyrl var region = maxLocale.region; // returns RS ... or var loc = new Locale(); // gets default browser locale ... One would pass Locale object around to properly format dates, numbers, or to sort. Thanks for looking into this.

[webkit-dev] trouble installing tools
Hi, I am trying to go through the process of installing the tools needed to look at webkit, as detailed here: http://webkit.org/building/tools.html I am building on XP64. I don't own Visual Studio 2005 so I am going to use Express 2005. In part 2 of the instructions the following appears: In addition to the paths specified in step 3 of the Platform SDK installation instructions, you must also add the following include path. Update the Visual C++ directories in the Projects and Solutions section in the Options dialog box: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2\Include\mfc My issue is, no such path 9or similar) exists on my machine, that is *C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2\Include\mfc * does not exist and *C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2\Include * does not exist and *C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2\* does not exist and *C:\Program Files\ *any similarly named or likely path involving Microsoft anything* \ Include* When I actually use the* tools- options - VC++ directories -- new entry *file system navigation widget to inspect my file system, it's pretty clear that beyond *C:\Program Files *, I have no way to credibly complete the specified path except to create the entire thing. Am I wrong to assume that the path ought to already exist on my machine and I'm just including it in the include directories?

Re: [webkit-dev] Mac OS X build break after system update
I'll just write a clean-room implementation of the headers. I've never seen them, nor do I ever wish to. But if my compile breaks when I update, I'll cobble together the necessary declarations in a new .h file and stick it somewhere in WebKit. It will be just like the old KWQ days! :) -eric On Thu, Oct 28, 2010 at 12:43 PM, Alexey Proskuryakov a...@webkit.org wrote: 28.10.2010, в 12:29, Darin Adler написал(а): Or certainly requiring an update to http://webkit.org/building/tools.html.
