           Summary: WebKit's tools and/or build process should prevent
                    adding data exports to JavaScriptCore.def
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows 7
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: PlatformOnly
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Tools / Tests
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org

Exporting data via JavaScriptCore.def doesn't work. It will make the linker happy, but the behavior at runtime will be wrong (e.g., it can lead to crashes).

Here are some example commits that had to deal with this problem:

http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/85605
http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/79222
http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/49247

We should make our tools and/or build process prevent data exports from being added to JavaScriptCore.def.
