            Bug ID: 254784
           Summary: [JavaScriptCore] Build with InstallAPI
           Product: WebKit
           Version: WebKit Nightly Build
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: JavaScriptCore
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
          Reporter: emw at apple.com

InstallAPI is a build phase in Xcode that uses tapi(1) to create .tbds for framework targets by scanning their headers. This TBD can then be linked against by clients of the framework, such that they are able to build and link before the framework itself has finished building.

Apple uses InstallAPI to parallelize production builds, and TAPI is part of LLVM. The llvm-dev mail introducing TAPI is a good high level overview of the tool: https://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2017-September/117264.html

We already use InstallAPI in embedded WebKit/WebKitLegacy. This bug tracks supporting it in JavaScriptCore.
