[webkit-dev] Including new IETestCenter tests in the LayoutTests

[Dave Tharp]

Greetings,

 

I am currently looking at the WebKit CSS3  failures on IETestCenter
(http://samples.msdn.microsoft.com/ietestcenter/ ). 

 

I'm making some progress, and getting ready to submit a patch.  I've
contacted Beth Dakin about my approach on the first patch, and she says I
should proceed.

 

As part of the patch, of course I need to submit a passing layout test.
This is where a question for the community arises:

 

Presuming it is legal (I have my legal department looking at it),  I think
it makes sense to bring in the tests verbatim from the IETestCenter site.  I
do understand that there will likely be some overlap (thus, inefficiency) in
coverage, but I think having a complete, identical set of tests will make it
easier to verify WebKit's performance in this test suite.  There is a
precedent for this:  the IETestCenter javascript tests are already present
in the LayoutTests tree.

 

The alternative is to write new tests or enhance existing tests in the
current LayoutTests tree.

 

I'm open to either approach,  just need some direction from the team.

[webkit-dev] New to Webkit development: Eclipse under Linux?

[Dave Tharp]

Has anyone successfully configured Eclipse CDT for Webkit development 
and debugging (gdb) under Linux?  I'd be interested in either :


a) Some pointers for setting up Eclipse
- or -
b) Suggestions for a better (best?) alternative for 
development/debugging under Linux (other than vi / command line gdb.  
And buy a Mac isn't helpful either :-) )


I've looked at ddd, and nemiver.  They are perhaps viable, but I'd like 
more of a capable IDE, and Eclipse seems a good way to go on the 
surface.  I'd like some advice from the community before I invest the 
time into configuring from scratch if possible.


Thanks in advance,

-Dave Tharp
