Thanks for the feedback. On a slightly different front, has anyone contemplated a MIPS port yet?
I don't recall anyone expressing interest in doing this to date. Building WebKit on a new CPU architecture should not be a huge amount of work, assuming that the toolchain on the platform is reasonably modern, the OS provides the usual POSIX APIs, and you're using a port that WebKit already supports (Qt, GTK+ or wxWidgets). I believe there is only two files containing architecture-specific code that would need extended to support a new architecture (JavaScriptCore/kjs/ collector.cpp, JavaScriptCore/wtf/Platform.h), though a few other files contain architecture-specific optimisations (eg, JavaScriptCore/ wtf/TCSpinLock.h use inline assembly for a spinlock implementation on some architectures, but falls back to pthread mutexes on the rest).
Kind regards, Mark
