[webkit-dev] JavaScriptCore export symbols

[Kenneth Christiansen]

Hi there,

Yes, the patch got bit rotten a few times and due to our release of Qt
4.6 we ended up abandoned it.

We are still interested in it though, other things just came up with
higher priority.

Cheers,
Kenneth

I know Apple / Win and Apple / Mac have export symbol files, but I'd like to avoid manually creating and maintaining such files, and at the same time, using the Apple / Win and Apple / Mac files seems like it will require a number of adjustments to my build process to get working. (e.g. it wants symbols specific to those ports) So I'm wondering, what are my options here? Would it be acceptable to start adding JS_EXPORT to functions in the JSCore library that are needed by DRT, etc.?
