Hi folks.
Since we no longer need to support the Chromium port, let's take the opportunity to streamline. Hopefully, this will make development easier and more coherent for everyone. Adam and Eric offered to do some of this cleanup, but I think it's healthier for people who will continue to be a part of WebKit to decide what gets cleaned up, and execute on the plan.
Below is a high-level view of some improvements we're planning over the coming weeks.
Concepts we plan to remove:
Layering violations in WebCore/platform, where a Page* or Frame* is passed to a function
Supplementable and Supplement
#if USE(GOOGLEURL)
#if USE(V8)
#if !USE(JSC)
#if PLATFORM(CHROMIUM)
Skia
DOMFileSystem
WebLayer and its scrolling implementation
Features #defines that haven't gained traction
Specific files we plan to remove:
.gyp build files
WebCore/bindings/v8
WebCore/bindings/scripts/*v8*
LayoutTests/platform/chromium*
WebKit/chromium
WTF/wtf/chromium
WebCore/platform/chromium
WebCore/*Chromium*
Source/Platform/chromium
ManualTests/chromium/
Tools/BuildSlaveSupport/chromium/
Tools/DumpRenderTree/chromium/
Also:
Adopt libc++
Please let me know if you have other suggestions for improvements, or if you see something in the list that shouldn't be there.
Thanks,
Geoff
