[webkit-dev] Adding Javascript object to Webkit

[Shakti Ashirvad]

Hi Lee,

There are two ways we can bind C with JS. First implementation is to create
a runtime object which doesn't have a data type
(JavaScriptCore/bindings/testbindings.cpp). This means you can create an
object like "foo" with any number of properties and methods. and you can
directly access

foo.fooBar(); or foo.var

However you cannot create more than one object like:

var a = new Complex(a,b);
a.real
a.img

For this you need to understand the math_object.cpp.

Regards,
Shakti
