What I suggest is just to use the same old JavaScript interpreter we have used before the JIT was introduced, which they undoubtedly keep working for those platforms which don't have JIT support available at all. That doesn't mean no JavaScript support, just a performance impact which is probably negligible on most sites and much better security. FWIW, another JavaScript JIT, the same issue (QtWebKit): https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=604003 (and there too I've been arguing to disable the JIT, as we've actually done in all stable Fedora releases so far). And webkitgtk has the same JIT as QtWebKit and it is also disabled in Fedora. Kevin Kofler -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
