           Summary: JavaScriptCore API needs a version
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 526+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.5
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: Gtk
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKit Gtk
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: christian at imendio.com


The public interface of JavaScriptCore has no version of its own. The Mac port
actually introduced WebKitAvailabillity.h some time ago to share the version
number between JavaScriptCore and WebKit. The situation is becoming
particularly interesting now since JavaScriptCore gains new API and ports other
than Mac cannot check any kind of version number.

For instance JSContextGroupRef was introduced 2008-07-29, "Implement
JSContextGroup APIs to make concurrent execution possible for JavaScriptCore
clients". The commit intorduced new API and changed behaviour.

I don't know what ports apart from Gtk are actually shipping JavaScriptCore
headers as part of their API right now, but a port agnostic version seems like
the right solution here.
