Hi there, I'm making enhancements to EWebLauncher the ewk backend on a low end mips box. A colleague of mine is disappointed that the screen goes blank for several seconds before displaying more complex pages like bbc news.# What we would like to be able to do is leave the old page on the screen

[webkit-dev] Building WebKit with Intel Compiler icc

2011-06-09 Thread cb07098
Hello, I don't know if this is the right forum to ask this question. If it isn't I'd appreciate any pointers to where I should be asking this: I would like to build WebKit with Intel Compiler (ICC) and was wondering if this has been already done or if anyone has pointers on what would be the

Re: [webkit-dev] JS bindings: Adding EventTarget to the prototype chain

2011-06-09 Thread Sam Weinig
I don't think we should do this. EventTarget is really just an abstract interface, and changing its implementation globally is of limited utility. -Sam On Jun 8, 2011, at 5:54 PM, Dominic Cooney wrote: [If you don't care about JSC or V8 bindings you can safely ignore this.] TL;DR I want

Re: [webkit-dev] Adding ENABLE_FLEXBOX to WebCore

2011-06-09 Thread Sam Weinig
Why should we implement this spec? We already have one flex box implementation that we can never remove (and corresponds closely to Firefox's) so it seems to me that we should work on standardizing that model. Adding a large bunch of code that duplicates existing functionality seems foolish.

Re: [webkit-dev] parallel painting

2011-06-09 Thread Pierre-Antoine LaFayette
(Resending from correct email) For HTML5 canvas animations, painting speed is very significant. Android uses a retain mode rendering approach as well; where paint operations are recorded on a WebCore thread and painting is actually done on the UI thread. It isn't necessarily the best approach.

2011-06-09 Thread Maciej Stachowiak
I don't have a personal opinion on which way is technically better myself. But I think the key is getting our code aligned with where standards are going, wether by changing he code or the standards. EventTarget in the prototype chain seems neither especially awesome nor especially terrible to
