Hello Everybody, I stumbled upon a problem in an attempt to port webkit to haiku. Before everything I would like to take few moments to explain about state of the port.
1) We have a well maintained WebKitLegacy port on haiku. 2) Now in the process of porting latest webkit to haiku currently at fixing IPC. We didnt want to use BSD sockets and would like to use Native messaging framework [BMessage : https://www.haiku-os.org/docs/api/classBMessage.html ] because our native application waits for BMessage in its main thread as a result we cant wait for both sockets and BMessage on same thread. Also we would like to maintain the haiku ecosystem :) . 3) We need process id of the intended process we would like to connect to send data [BMessenger: https://www.haiku-os.org/docs/api/classBMessenger.html ] So instead of exchanging socket id's we would just exchange pid's 4) We were able to successfully deliver and process the messages. Currently we were able to proceed until creating a connection between network process and webprocess(NetworkConnectionToWebProcess). Now where we are stuck is that After creating a connection between network process and webprocess we would have to reply back to webprocess about the connection info( pid of network process in our case ). I see the reply is an alias of DelayedReply(CompletionHandler<Attachment&>) according to the derived sources. Unfortunately the webprocess is indefinitely waiting for reply from webprocessproxy for which we are unable to "reply" . Could anyone point me where I would have went wrong or what could be done to fix this and any better ways for implementing this. Please check the source references for more info: NetworkProcessProxy: [ https://github.com/RAJAGOPALAN-GANGADHARAN/webkit/blob/6bf81d79669be06b4efd9d8ced4139cbe07216b2/Source/WebKit/UIProcess/Network/NetworkProcessProxy.cpp#L150 ] NetworkProcess [ https://github.com/RAJAGOPALAN-GANGADHARAN/webkit/blob/6bf81d79669be06b4efd9d8ced4139cbe07216b2/Source/WebKit/NetworkProcess/haiku/NetworkProcessHaiku.cpp#L98 ] ConnectionHaiku : [ https://github.com/RAJAGOPALAN-GANGADHARAN/webkit/blob/ipc-iteration2/Source/WebKit/Platform/IPC/haiku/ConnectionHaiku.cpp ] Attachment : [ https://github.com/RAJAGOPALAN-GANGADHARAN/webkit/blob/ipc-iteration2/Source/WebKit/Platform/IPC/haiku/AttachmentHaiku.cpp ] I believe these places are currently in focus For further reference please check [ https://github.com/RAJAGOPALAN-GANGADHARAN/webkit/tree/ipc-iteration2] Thank you Regards G.Rajagopalan
