           Summary: Encapsulate many uses of void* in the assembler & jit
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.5
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: JavaScriptCore
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: barraclough at apple.com


Wrapping these types allows for stronger type-checking than is possible with
everything represented a void*.  For example, it is now enforced by the type
system that near calls can only be linked to JIT code and not to C functions in
JSC (this was previously required, but could not be enforced on the interface).
