[webkit-help] Embedding WebKit - virtual functions not get instantiated properly.

[Alex MacCaw]

Very odd error... I've been trying to embed WebKit into my own app.
Getting this error:

Program received signal EXC_BAD_ACCESS, Could not access memory.
Reason: KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE at address: 0x00000008
0x01e8c8b0 in WebCore::FrameView::invalidateRect (this=0x475ddb0,
rect=@0xbfffdf78) at
/Users/Alex/Downloads/WebKit-r52751/WebCore/page/FrameView.cpp:295
295            hostWindow()->repaint(rect, true);


On further investigation, it seems none of the virtual methods (from
HostWindow) exist on Chrome.
So, an example:

WebCore::Page *page = new WebCore::Page(...);
page->chrome() // Instance of (WebCore::Chrome*)
page->chrome()->focus() // Works
page->chrome()->scrollbarsModeDidChange(); // Triggers null pointer error


But if we create our own Chrome instance:

const WebCore::Chrome *chrome = new WebCore::Chrome(page, new
WebCore::EmptyChromeClient());
chrome->scrollbarsModeDidChange(); // Works fine


Any idea why the virtual functions don't exist with the first example:
