^ Instead of your change here, I think the right fix is to make sure all files have the same value for IOSURFACE_CANVAS_BACKING_STORE. If headers depend on an #ifdef and different files have it set differently, that is a potential problem even without unified builds. Not in this case since the only difference is a static member function, but if the define affected data members, then it would be real bad for different files to have different values. > [2] https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=189541 > <https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=189541> I agree with the other comments that the template function should be defined in the header in the first place. It’s bad for different files to have different definitions of the same member function. Sometimes it might be right to exclude files from unification, but in these two cases it seems like the unified build caught real problems with the code that should probably be fixed regardless. > [3] https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/dom/canvas/moz.build#70 > > On 02/09/2018 02:14, Simon Fraser wrote: >> Unified sources allow you to get away without #including all the files you >> need in a .cpp file, because some earlier file in the group has probably >> already included them for you. >> >> This means that when you add a new file to the build, and the unified >> sources get shuffled around, you end up with a long list of build breakages, >> some platform-specific, that you can only fix by repeating EWS trials. >> Here's an example: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=189223.
