           Summary: Need a way to expose IDL sequences to ObjC bindings
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.5
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebCore Misc.
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: atwilson at chromium.org


Currently we expose sequence types via custom getters/setters in the JS
bindings that map between the native WebCore collection types and JSArray (for
examples, see SQLTransaction.idl and Clipboard.idl).

It seems that the generated ObjC bindings for these files will not compile
because the types exposed for these values in the IDL files (Array,
ObjectArray) are unknown in ObjC-land.

For now, we just aren't exposing bindings for those files (or, in the case of
MessageEvent and the various instances of postMessage(), we are exposing a
different set of non-array bindings for ObjC).

When we add support for some kind of array type to the ObjC bindings generator,
we should update MessageEvent and postMessage() to expose a uniform API for
both sets of bindings.
