Re: [webkit-dev] C stack direction

If it was code in JavaScriptCore that was no longer used I could see the point, But since it's WTF functionality that isn't being used in another component atm. I would tend to keep it. But then I've always hated ( and been bitten by ) things like its allways going to be 32bit, chars are

Re: [webkit-dev] Proposal: Remove ENABLE(SVG)

I agree, the time taken to build is not really a good reason for the change or lack of - as you point out there, are many other ways to optimize the build process/server which will have wider benefits. But does anybody consider size to be an issue? SVG adds a fair chunk to the size of a binary

Would this be simplify as in tidy up existing code, get down to a simple subset of required functionality, and maybe abstracting the (E)GL part? Or are you considering a simplification by just saying it will be EGL version X, and OpenGL version Y from now on and nothing else? Steve Harry

Re: [webkit-dev] support for navigator.cores or navigator.hardwareConcurrency

2014-05-07 Thread Steven Coul (scoul)
Naive question(s) here. Why does the physical number of cores ( and that is not necessarily the number of actionable native threads ) matter? I would expect a mature system to do the best it can with hardware, in what the software has asked for it. Some tasks are sleepy, some are IO bound,

Would [Conditional] use through out also not allow us to perform the IDL compile without running the c preprocessor on each file? Can [Conditional] not be fixed to support multiple flags? The compiling of IDL is a significant portion of the total build time, and ccache distcc et al cannot
