           Summary: Provide compile-time assertions for sizeof(UChar),
                    sizeof(DeprecatedChar), etc.
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 522+ (nightly)
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: New Bugs
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: ddkilzer at webkit.org


* SUMMARY
The UChar and DeprecatedChar structs have implicit assumptions that they are
two bytes on all platforms.  It would be nice if there were compile-time
assertions that prevented the project from compiling if these assumptions are
ever violated.

* NOTES
A Google search yielded some solutions:
