[webkit-dev] Infinite JavaScript loop blocks the MiniBrowser

[Pascal Jacquemart]

Hello,

I am trying to protect the MiniBrowser from executing faulty JavaScript code taking too much time / CPU. All browsers normally raise a pop-up allowing the user to stop the script and run away.
But MiniBrowser does not seem to have such feature. It is just stuck forever ;-(

After a little digging I found this JSC API: JSContextGroupSetExecutionTimeLimit()
I had to implement a JSC Watchdog back-end because it is not implemented for EFL, fair enough -> https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=147107 (ongoing)

Now the JSContextGroupSetExecutionTimeLimit() have the expected behaviour.
I can stop the JavaScript execution and run away... Great but the big problem now is that the JavaScript won't restart. Even while loading other pages, the JavaScript remains disabled.

If you have any hints about this, I would be grateful.
How to restart JavaScript execution? Where to look? Is it an EFL bug?

Thanks,                       Pascal Jacquemart
