 against GC
Date: Mon, 21 May 2018 22:54:49 +0200
I have pushed this patch to fix the GC problem in
xwidget-webkit-execute-script.

Andreas.

* src/xwidget.h (struct xwidget): Add script_callbacks.
* src/xwidget.c (save_script_callback): New function.
(Fxwidget_webkit_execute_script): Use it.  Encode script
before passing to execution engine.  Always use a callback.
(webkit_javascript_finished_cb): Deallocate script.
(kill_buffer_xwidgets): Deallocate remaining scripts.
(Fxwidget_webkit_zoom): Doc fix.
(Fxwidget_resize): Doc fix.

Subject: xwidget-webkit-execute-script does not protect script against GC
Date: Mon, 21 May 2018 14:22:53 +0200
The script argument to xwidget-webkit-execute-script is not protected
against GC.  Since strings may be relocated by GC the pointer passed to
webkit_web_view_run_javascript may become invalid any time during the
asynchronous execution.

Andreas.
