We have our own infrastructure that works well for us. It is, however,
public: anyone can access it. We'd rather not outsource our downtime to
another organisation.

Yes! We use Duktape as the interpreter, but the bindings to our DOM are
still incomplete.

I think these are APIs for embedding a browser in another app? This has
been on our TODO list for a very long time but it's a bit more involved
that it first sounds due to having to turn the whole event processing
system up-side-down.

Because back when we started, such services didn't offer the kind of access
control which we need in order to support third party frontend contributors.
Indeed most still don't unless you pay them money.

> * Does you guys want help on webassembly implementation and javascript?

Implementing the JS/DOM bindings, and supporting stuff like that would be very
welcome. It's a tough job because of keeping track of ownership/permissions
and in that we often have to improve our DOM implementation for each feature.

WebAssembly is probably a long long way off as yet.

We do not, though it might be nice to produce a 'frontend' which is such.

I would like to help

First, I would like to know somethings:

• Why is netsurf not hosted on a source public code repo like github, gitlab (OpenSource) or Bitbucker?
• Does you guys want help on webassembly implementation and javascript?
• Does Netsurf provide a api like CEF or WPE Webkit?

Sorry, I may have slightly forgot there, but sorted now :-) Thanks for
that.

I've thought for a while that our headers have probably aged a bit
compared to what you might find with a more up to date compiler.
Having said that, they are really meant to compliment our GCC4.7.4 and
so probably match its capabilities better. The port of GCC 10 uses the
same headers because it was the easy option, but whether it would
benefit from a header update, I don't know.

It does sound like regex.h should be including sys/types.h. If you make
this change locally in your environment, does the project build? If so,
then I will commit it.

Would you like me to prepare a patch?

It does, yes.

There are some other oddities I'm finding in the crosslib headers around things like definitions of strtoul not being in the std namespace, but i wonder if that's related to it not fully supporting C++11?

Thanks,
Lee.

[gccsdk] paths.h

Hi

The attached patch adds the paths.h header. This header is common on Unix systems, and contains defines for common system paths. While the contents don't appear to be standardised, the patch adds a reduced set of defines from other platforms that are relevant to UnixLib.

[gccsdk] Patch to add missing 64-bit atomic functions

Hi

Attached is a patch to provide a number of missing 64-bit atomic functions. These are needed for the c89atomic library (https://github.com/mackron/c89atomic), and have been tested with the test program provided with it.

Note that due to a bug in c89atomic, the code path for GCC 4.6 and earlier is being used with GCC 4.7, which fails due to the lack of __sync_lock_test_and_set_1, which appears to be more complicated to fix. This is worked around in https://github.com/mackron/c89atomic/pull/1 , however it is something to look out for in the future.

Regards

Cameron
