This directory contains the Chromium WebKit API.
OVERVIEW
The Chromium WebKit API provides a stable interface to WebCore without
revealing any of the WebCore or WTF types to the consumer.
The 'public' directory contains the API headers, and the 'src' directory
contains the API implementation. The API is intended to be used either as a
shared or static library.
COMPATIBILITY
No attempt is made to support runtime compatibility in a shared library
build. Instead, the API is intended to support backwards compatibility at
build time. C++ symbols are allowed in other words.
DEFINES
WEBKIT_IMPLEMENTATION is defined when building the 'src' directory.
Consumers should not define this macro.
WEBKIT_DLL is defined when building as a shared library. This should be
defined when building the 'src' directory, and it should also be defined by
the consumer to ensure proper linkage to the shared library.
BASIC TYPES
Use of STL is prohibited except in cases where it would be allowed in
WebCore. This includes non-allocating uses: algorithms, numeric limits, etc.
WTF container classes should be used in the implementation of this API.
The API includes some usage of WebCore types when WEBKIT_IMPLEMENTATION is
defined. This is only done for the convenience to the implementation, and
should not be considered part of the Chromium WebKit API. Similarly, STL
types are assumed when WEBKIT_IMPLEMENTATION is not defined, which is done
for the convenience of the consumer.
