           Summary: jsc: implement a native readFile function
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Unspecified
        OS/Version: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: JavaScriptCore
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: burg at cs.washington.edu


To run tools like JSHint from the standalone jsc executable (i.e., as a check-webkit-style backend), there needs to be a way able to slurp a file into a string.

Rhino has had a function like this called readFile(). It's pretty simple to implement, as jsc already slurps files and evaluates them with script-exposed run(). I think we can just ignore the character encoding argument, as we don't have any better idea what it should be (or what to do with it) than WTF::String.
