[webkit-dev] Compile-time assertions for object sizes

[Andreas Kling]

Dear WebKittens,

I'd like to add some compile-time assertions for the sizes of various
objects. The motivation comes a patch fixing bloat in InlineBox[1].

There are two major problems with this:

1. The sizes will differ on 32- and 64-bit platforms.
2. The sizes will differ based on compiler flags.

One idea is to add a file that would only be built on (for example) 64-bit
Mac and then at least that bot would break if an object changes size. That's
obviously not ideal though.

Any suggestions? :)
