I'm working in the WebKit sources that comes down with Qt 4.7.3
I was trying to get the Adobe Square 64 bit flash plug-in (beta) to work in any
of the examples (currently I'm trying examples/webkit/fancybrowser)
While stepping through code, I found the following in
src/3rdparty/webkit/WebCore/plugins/mac/PluginViewMac.mm:
bool PluginView::platformStart()
....
// Gracefully handle unsupported drawing or event models. We can do this
// now since the drawing and event model can only be set during NPP_New.
#ifndef NP_NO_CARBON
NPBool eventModelSupported;
if (getValueStatic(NPNVariable(NPNVsupportsCarbonBool + m_eventModel),
&eventModelSupported) != NPERR_NO_ERROR
|| !eventModelSupported) {
#endif
m_status = PluginStatusCanNotLoadPlugin;
LOG(Plugins, "Plug-in '%s' uses unsupported event model %s",
m_plugin->name().utf8().data(),
prettyNameForEventModel(m_eventModel));
returnfalse;
#ifndef NP_NO_CARBON
}
#endif
...
Since NP_NO_CARBON is defined for 64 bit builds, the above code will set
m_status to PluginStatusCanNotLoadPlugin and return false.
Looking around some more, it turns out much of the code in this file is not
compiled if NP_NO_CARBON is defined. This leads me to believe that the version
of WebKit that comes down with Qt 4.7.3 is not ready for OSX 64 bit plugins.
I am new to the WebKit community so there is a lot I don't know about
resources,
development, source control, etc...
Be gentle.
So here are my questions:
1) Is the analysis correct? (i.e. 64 bit plugins not supported on OSX in this
WebKit branch)
2) How can I find out if this is being worked on? or if there are workarounds?
Thanks,
Alan
