The Cairo build has jpeg and png libraries, but in all other respects is comparable to what you would need for the official release. If you don't need the graphical features provided by the WebCore portions of WebKit, you should be able to just use the JavaScriptCore DLL. This library will still require the ICU libraries and CFlite, but does not need cURL, Cairo, or jpeg and png. You should be able to build a static JavaScriptCore DLL if you build a static CFlite and custom ICU libraries. Someone was interested in doing this (check the mailing list archives), and apparently you can drasticaly slim down the size of ICU by selectively excludig languages and features that aren't germane to your project. Ubfortunately, I did not create CFlite static build targets, but it should be easy to add this to your local build. -Brent ___ webkit-dev mailing list webkit-dev@lists.webkit.org http://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/webkit-dev
[webkit-dev] WebKit zooming behavior
Hello everyone, I was trying to zoom a web page (text + images) through WebKit API: frame-setZoomFactor(). The call forces WebKit to recalculate the page layout and send repaints to the application via Chrome Client. What I have noticed is that zooming takes considerable time and that effect becomes more evident running on an embedded platform. The number of repaint calls that are routed to the application through Chrome Client are far more than for the case when the page is displayed without zooming. As a result, from the user point of view, the zooming operation takes considerable time that is proportional to the content length of the page being displayed. For instance if *BBC mobile* is displayed, the page is zoomed quickly from zoom factor of 1.0 to 1.2. However, for *edition.cnn.com *, it takes quite a few seconds to complete and there are far more repaint calls sent to the application. Is this the normal behavior? Is there a way to get this done in a much quicker way, even for sites with more content? Any suggestion in this regard will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

The container is 980x0, but it has a child 24x27.
Not sure if the RenderBlock is 'anonymous' (like in this case) means

[webkit-dev] Testing worker lifecycle

This means that there's not currently a good way to write tests to verify that workers are actually shutting down when they are unreachable/idle. Do you guys have any ideas about how to address this? One idea I had would be to expose a WorkerController for layout tests, similar to GCController - the WorkerController could expose a numWorkers attribute which is incremented/decremented as worker threads startup/exit. I haven't started looking into how this would be done, but I figured I'd ask you guys if this was a good approach or if there's a cleaner way to test these cases. -atw ___ webkit-dev mailing list webkit-dev@lists.webkit.org http://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/webkit-dev

What's the motivation for this particular change? Primarily to avoid requiring specific GC behavior in the HTML5 spec. If you expose when a worker has shut down, then for compatibility reasons you need to try to make all user agents behave identically wrt garbage collection and reachability, which puts an unnecessary burden on implementors. We've also removed things like MessagePort.active as well as throwing exceptions if you try to post a MessagePort that's been closed, for similar reasons. All of this is motivated by the fact that it's prohibitively difficult to determine cross-thread/cross-process reachability.

Are they provided only for developers who want to create a browser with webkit to test if their browser behaves right? The (increasing inaccurately named) LayoutTests directory contains most of the regression tests used to try to ensure that no knew patch breaks any existing functionality. Every bug fix adds a new test so that the bug being fixed doesn't get reintroduced later. 2.The layouttests use Safari to run all the tests, right? No. The layout tests are run under the (also increasingly miss named) DumpRenderTree harness. Basically this is a per-platform application that embeds a webview with a set of additional APIs added to the DOM to improve our ability to test behaviour. 3.I noticed some tests need an app server, how do they start one? The http test directory requires a web server (i *think* apache), the run-webkit-tests script details at http://webkit.org/quality/testing.html will launch a new apache instance with all the correct parameters and settings required to get the correct behaviour. 4.Is layouttest only for Leopard? If I want to take it into my project, what should I do? The test suite is for webkit across all platforms. Some test do produce different output across platforms (particularly the pixel tests) but in general we try to ensure that the same test results are valid across all platforms and webkit ports.

Re: [webkit-dev] Webkit client

(I saw a discussion about registration related problem). What are the alternatives? The WebKit distribution includes a test program called WinLauncher, located in the WebKitTools/WinLauncher directory. Someone once posted to the list that they had built a C# program to run WebKit, but I have not seen any source code or other information on this topic. I'm mostly focused on embedding in a C++ program, so have not spent any time looking at this. C# is generally pretty good at interoperation with DLL's, so I don't imagine it would be too difficult. -Brent ___ webkit-dev mailing list webkit-dev@lists.webkit.org http://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/webkit-dev
