           Summary: JavaScriptCore API is not portable
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 525+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: P2
         Component: JavaScriptCore
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org

r21342 introduced JSStringRefCF.h to JavaScriptCore.h:

  http://trac.webkit.org/projects/webkit/changeset/21342

This breaks sources that include JavaScriptCore.h on platforms without CF.

<rdar://problem/4885130> mentions that the plan was to have applications
include JSStringRefCF.h as needed, which sounds like the right thing to do, but
r21342 goes against that.

I'm investigating switching a couple of bindings from the C++ API to the new C
API. This is the only issue that's come up so far.

It seems the most elegant solution would actually be to create a new top-level
header, JavaScriptCoreCF.h, which includes CF-specific headers in addition to
the portable JavaScriptCore.h. This does not represent an ABI break so I
suspect it can be implemented right now with minimal disruption.
