Re: [webkit-dev] How to handle Array types in IDL files?

Maciej Stachowiak:

We probably need special support for Web IDL array types in the bindings generator. Sam can probably comment n more detail. As a stopgap, we could make the relevant IDL attributes be JS only. I would check out what Web IDL says about Array - I don't think it's supposed to be reflected as just a vanilla JS Array.

Currently Web IDL says that when getting an attribute of type sequence<T>, a new JS Array object is returned. For array types, T[], a host object with particular [[Get]] and [[Put]] behaviour is meant to be used, which makes it similar to a native Array. Both of these things are pretty speculative, and could do with review. -- Cameron McCormack ≝ http://mcc.id.au/
