819845 - Update WebIDL bindings to changes to sequence/dictionary distinguishability

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

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

Description

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

See https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=16767 and http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/2006/webapi/WebIDL/Overview.xml.diff?r1=1.573;r2=1.575;f=h

The changes are as follows:

1)  Dictionaries are now no longer distinguishable from sequences or IDL arrays.
2)  Conversion to a sequence no longer involves checking for an actual array
    object.

Though note that the spec still has issues in terms of how overload resolution should work with the new setup.  Need to sort that out before we change this.

Comment 2

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

Attachment: WIP, with overload resolution changes not made yet

Comment 3

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

Attachment: Update WebIDL bindings to spec change: sequences/arrays are no longer distinguishable from dictionaries, and conversion to a sequence works on arbitrary objects.

Comment 4

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

Note that maybe we should rename IsArrayLike to IsConvertibleToSequence....
