[webkit-dev] OSX 64 bit plugin support not ready

[Alan Swartz]

Yes, I'm painfully aware that Apple does not support Carbon in 64-bits.  This is 
why I'm learning 64-bit QtWebKit.

I thought as you do that "Theoretically, a plugin with a Cocoa event model and 
CoreGraphics drawing should work". 

Unfortunately, I think the code in PluginViewMac.mm is not ready for this 
eventuality.

I can't address your first question but have a comment.

Looking around some more, it turns out much of the code in this file is not 
compiled if NP_NO_CARBON is defined.  This leads me to believe that the version 
of WebKit that comes down with Qt 4.7.3 is not ready for OSX 64 bit plugins.

You are aware that Carbon isn't available in 64 bits? Theoretically, a plugin 
with a Cocoa event model and CoreGraphics drawing should work, though the code 
you point out looks suspicious.
