            Bug ID: 243809
           Summary: [WPE][GTK] Share public headers
           Product: WebKit
           Version: WebKit Nightly Build
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKitGTK

We're soon going to have four public APIs:

 * GTK 3
 * GTK 4
 * WPE 1.0/1.1
 * WPE 2.0

To avoid having four different copies of all the public headers, let's generate the public headers from a shared template. We'll start by unifying the existing WPE and GTK headers without making any API changes. Using a customized version of unifdef, we can use PLATFORM(GTK) and PLATFORM(WPE) guards in the header templates in order to hide platform-specific code from the generated headers. Be careful around comments, though: the guards do not work inside comments, so if any part of a doc comment needs to differ, the entire doc comment will need to be duplicated.

Thanks to Adrian for proposing this solution.
