           Summary: Refactor IDL attributes about constructor
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Unspecified
        OS/Version: Unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: HTML DOM
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: haraken at chromium.org

Current situation:

- [CustomConstructFunction] means that there is a custom constructor for JSC.
- [V8CustomConstructor] means that there is a custom constructor for V8.
- [CustomConstructor] exists in CodeGenerator*.pm but is not used in any IDL files. I don't figure out what [CustomConstructor] means. As far as I see CodeGeneratorV8.pm, [CustomConstructor] works equivalent to [V8CustomConstructor]. On the other hand, as far as I see CodeGeneratorJS.pm, [CustomConstructor] works equivalent to [OmitConstructor]. Anyway, no IDL files are using [CustomConstructor].
- For almost all IDL files, [CustomConstructFunction] and [V8CustomConstructor] are used at the same time.
- ObjC, CPP and GObject bindings do not support custom constructors.

I am planning to refactor the above situation as follows:

- Remove [CustomConstructFunction] and add [JSCustomConstructor].
- [JSCustomConstructor] means that there is a custom constructor for JSC.
- [V8CustomConstructor] means that there is a custom constructor for V8.
- [CustomConstructor] means that there is a custom constructor for both JSC and V8.
