The existing code is very confused. For example, it doesn't seem to know that RefCounted objects start with an initial ref. My guess is that it was written a long time ago and then was abandoned. As the project moved forward, this code got left behind. Adam On Wed, Aug 25, 2010 at 9:26 AM, Dimitri Glazkov <dglazkov@chromium.org> wrote:
Hear hear. I am still very interesting in having something like XBL in WebKit and am now to the point of having good chunk of time to work on this. Having said that, I am not sure how much of the current XBL-related code remains useful. If it's not, we might just as well zap it and start with a clean slate.

FYI XBL has been superseded by XBL 2.0 that is not backward compatible with the first version [1]. Thus our code is just obsolete.
All XBL-related code in WebKit is for XBL2. It seems as if WebKit had working XBL2 support, most of the form controls added over the last couple of years could have been defined declaratively in markup rather than requiring the significant amount of C++ code that they currently do. _______________________________________________ webkit-dev mailing list webkit-dev@lists.webkit.org http://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/webkit-dev
