742149 - WebIDL parser needs to support IDL array return values

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect)

Description

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

WebGL currently has:

    WebGLShader[]? getAttachedShaders(WebGLProgram? program); 

which throws like so:

  File "dom/bindings/parser/WebIDL.py", line 2862, in finish
    production.finish(self.globalScope())
  File "dom/bindings/parser/WebIDL.py", line 509, in finish
    member.finish(scope)
  File "dom/bindings/parser/WebIDL.py", line 1653, in finish
    assert not isinstance(type.name, IDLUnresolvedIdentifier)

where type.name stringifies as "<unresolved scope>::WebGLShader".

I still think they should use a sequence here, and maybe I'll implement it that way, but we might need this somewhere else too.
