[webkit-dev] split webkit library to smaller ones
Hello, I am compiling the webkit for MIPS, and in the finally stage to product the GTK port library, it errors about the GOT overflow. After google I see its because the object file is too large that one GOT can't fill. Although my toolchain is quite new(GCC 4.1.2, binutils 2.17) it still can't successfully link. I know I can't expect I can solve the problem in webkit side, but I suggest webkit dev team to consider to split the one-large-so to some small DSOs then this should be make the entire webkit solution more easier to port. Thanks. Bin ___ webkit-dev mailing list webkit-dev@lists.webkit.org http://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo/webkit-dev
Re: [webkit-dev] whats bidi stand for?

Mitz and Hyatt are two of very few to ever have hacked on that file. "bidi" is a pretty common term of art. Also, the code in the file does more than just bidi handling, so LineLayout.cpp as Hyatt suggested may be the best name. I don't think "BidirectionalWordSorting" would be right - bidi applies at boundaries between right-to-left and left-to- right text, which are not directly related to word boundaries.

"Bidi" is an abbreviation for "bidirectional text", and refers to blocks of text that use both left-to-right and right-to-left scripts (e.g. a paragraph with English text that also includes some Arabic text).

Re: [webkit-dev] Incremental Layout
On Feb 2, 2008, at 4:23 AM, ankush tiwari wrote: Hi All, Is there any plan of making webkit render pages incrementally for better performance? WebKit does render incrementally, although normally pending scripts block parsing and pending stylesheets block layout and painting until a significant timeout has passed, to prevent showing incorrect content. I'm not sure what you mean by "better performance" but in general, rendering more often will make the total page load take longer, although it may be able to render for the first time sooner. - Maciej Thanks, Ankush. ___ webkit-dev mailing list webkit-dev@lists.webkit.org http://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo/webkit-dev ___ webkit-dev mailing list webkit-dev@lists.webkit.org http://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo/webkit-dev
