Apologies if this is the wrong place for this sort of discussion. I have been developing an application using WebKit/GTK+, and I noticed that the GTK+ wrapper does not contain a means to get the return value from a javascript call (from C).Not at all patch worthy, but it works, and now I can call into javascript and get return values - I am wondering if there are any plans to implement something like this (but well written) in the future?
A function that attempts to return all values as strings seems limiting. For anything non-trivial I would suggest using webkit_web_frame_get_global_context to retrieve the frame's JSContextRef then using the JavaScriptCore API directly. The GTK port may like to provide convenience APIs for conversion between the platforms string representation and the JavaScriptCore string, similar to the CoreFoundation variants in JSStringRefCF.h. If convenience methods like those were added then it would only be a handful of lines of code to do what you request using the existing API.
Kind regards, Mark
