[webkit-dev] Custom V8 bindings for WebWorkers
Hi All, Applications embedding WebKit and Chromium can use existing C++ APIs to dynamically add custom V8 JavaScript bindings. These bindings allow closer integration between the script execution environment and the host application and are currently supported for page contexts via the FrameLoaderClient::didCreateScriptContext callback. However, custom V8 bindings are not currently supported for WebWorkers. Combining the multi-threaded capabilities of WebWorkers with the flexibility offered by custom V8 bindings would be an extremely useful feature for some applications. How would people feel about exposing a V8 binding capability for WebWorkers? Would adding new callbacks similar to Platform::didStartWorkerRunLoop and Platform::didStopWorkerRunLoop be a reasonable implementation approach? Thanks, Marshall ___ webkit-dev mailing list webkit-dev@lists.webkit.org http://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo/webkit-dev

Sounds like a reasonable idea. Would you be willing to file a bug and write a patch?
