1721723 - WebIDL bindings in tree documentation uses [Constructor] attribute, which no longer appears to work.

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: DOM: Bindings (WebIDL), defect)

Description

[Matthew Gaudet (he/him) [:mgaudet]]

I'm reading this in tree WebIDL documentation.

There's some discussion of constructors declared as

[Constructor,
 Constructor(unsigned long someNumber)]
interface MyInterface
{
};

I notice we don't seem to have any constructors of this form, and it seems like that form of attribute is no longer working with our generator. Nika suggests in #dom that this is likely a documentation bug.

Oh yes, the documentation should be updated as it now should be expressed as a member of interface.
