[webkit-dev] Nesting Level of DOMTimer (non-one-shot timer)

Fri Oct 10 10:22:22 PDT 2014

Yep, looks like a pretty straightforward problem – the timer nesting level should also be being cleared before the early return in DOMTimer::fired.

Please file a bug!

cheers,
G.

The problem is the nesting level is managed in the Document (ScriptExecutionContext), that means all timers in the same document share one nesting level. If one repeat timer was launched, all other timers after that could not forward the gesture state, due to all of them has a non-zero nesting level.

I doubt that the nesting level should owned by the timer itself, do not share with others. Just as described in the defintion, that is task's nesting level.
