[webkit-help] Cyclic dependency error when using xlC on AIX

[Pankaj Jangid]

Hi,

I am buiding Qt 4.5.3 with webkit (QtWebkit) on AIX. I have ported the code
to build QtWebkit to compile properly with compiler xlC_r (v7) on AIX. The
code is now building properly with -release mode but sample application is
generating a segfault. Following is the debugger (dbx) output.

=======================================================================
% dbx ./webkit_proto
Type 'help' for help.

=======================================================================

To my surprize the ported code is producing compile time errors when using
-debug configure option. There is a cyclic dependency in code and the xlC
compiler (v7) doesn't handle forward declaration properly in templates. But
I am not sure why this code is compiling in release mode and not in debug
mode.

The compilation error comes while processing file
JavaScriptCore/parser/Parser.cpp. The error is shown in file
JavaScriptCore/wtf/RefPtr.h for undefined class FuncDeclNode.

In summary, I have two problems:-
1. Compilation in debug mode. How to trick the compiler (xlC v7) to build
the code when using forward declarations and templates both?
2. If not 1 then can somebody give me any idea why this above error is
produced? Using the hint I'll try to fix the issue in release mode.
