[webkit-dev] Build errors with GCC 4.7.3 after SVN r167943

[Mario Sanchez Prada]

Hi all,

I encountered today while trying to build WebKitGTK+ in my old Ubuntu 12.10 
box: my compilation failed at 
Source/WebCore/Modules/webdatabase/SQLCallbackWrapper.h:79:91 with the 
following error:

error: expression 'erroneous-expression = erroneous-expression' is not 
a constant-expression

The offending snippet of code is as follows, introduced two days ago in SVN 
r167943 [1]:

scriptExecutionContextPtr-postTask({ 
ScriptExecutionContext::Task::CleanupTask, [=] (ScriptExecutionContext* 
context) {
ASSERT_UNUSED(context, context == scriptExecutionContextPtr  
context-isContextThread());
callback-deref();
scriptExecutionContextPtr-deref();
} });

After some investigation I found it to be a bug in GCC 4.7.2 (the version 
shipped in Ubuntu  Quantal), which are fixd now both GCC 4.7.3 and GCC 4.8:
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=54947

So, just sending this email here to let you know about this, in case you run 
into the same issue.

Thanks,
Mario

 It would be redundant to post the same information on the WebKit blog.
 In my opinion, your blog post is already a good summary.

I agree, but anyway, as I promised, this is mine about my experience in
the meeting.

 I think we should make several small blog post about specific subjects.
 I have seen really nice stuffs in the session I attended. From what I

 -CSS Grid Layout

Perhaps I should write a new one with the contents I presented in my
talk, but I think one of those already published by my colleges sergio
and rego are good ones to introduce the feature:
