Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

I think it is not really a good idea to have this functionality: It is severly limited by being unable to return anything but a string.

Decent marshalling of types between a environment and the Javascript engine is only possible close to the environment. So the attached patch removes this feature.

I do have a patch with a better JS integration for Qt. It is already available as part of the patch attached to #467076. I am currently working to split this out and report it in a separate issue.

Reproducible: Always

Marking a bunch of bugs in the "Embedding: APIs" component INCOMPLETE in preparation to archive that component. If I have done this incorrectly, please reopen the bugs and move them to a more correct component as we don't have "embedding" APIs any more.
