[webkit-dev] Heads-up: C++11 and WebKit2

[Kenneth Rohde Christiansen]

Hi there,

I am personally happy that we can make use of C++11 and I don't
suppose it is a problem for the Tizen/EFL port. On the other hand, I
fear that Qt might be targeting some platforms where this could be an
issue. According to http://qt-project.org/wiki/Qt_5.0 they are still
aiming at supporting Windows XP as a Tier 1 platform.

Cheers
Kenneth

Specifically, we’d like to make use of rvalue references and move semantics in our IPC code to avoid needlessly copying data and to give some serializable objects (such as Mach ports) better semantics.
