An alternative would be to generate code for optional args along the lines of (pseudo code): void foo(Arg1Type arg1, [Optional] Arg2Type arg2); = Arg1Type arg1 = toArg1Type(arguments[0]); if (arguments.length 2) return impl-foo(arg1); Arg2Type arg2 = toArg2Type(arguments[1]); return

Re: [webkit-dev] Sharing the OpenGL GraphicsContext3D implementation

I agree. My hope was always that the OpenGL backend could be shared among all the webkit ports, my only suggestion is that rather than having a separate OpenGLExtensionsFunctions class, I think we probably want something like GraphicsContext3DOpenGL.{h,cpp} for all the common logic and then

The reason ImageBuffer::image() makes a copy (be it a deep copy, or CoW) is almost exclusively for the purpose of ensuring correct behaviour in the case where a canvas is drawn onto itself, eg. context = myCanvas.getContext(2d); context.drawImage(myCanvas, 0, 0); Off hand I can think of no

What's your testcase? One potential issue you could be seeing is that we don't dump the bytecode until we compile code so the code for a function won't be dumped until you call it for instance, but you should at the very least be getting an bc dump for the containing global code. --Oliver
