           Summary: Build failure with ICU 50 and C++11
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Unspecified
        OS/Version: Unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: JavaScriptCore
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: Arfrever.FTA at GMail.Com


When GCC >=4.7 (or another compiler supporting C++11) is used, then UChar type from ICU 50 is a typedef to char16_t instead of unsigned short int. This results in compilation failure in WebKit.

To reproduce this bug, you must:
1. Build ICU 50 using GCC >=4.7. ICU will automatically be built with -std=c++11 flag.
2. Build WebKit with -std=c++11 (or -std=gnu++11) manually added to CXXFLAGS.

Compilation failure does not occur with ICU 49 or older.
