QNX Port

[ghost]

Is anyone aware of a QNX 6.x or 700 port, or any work being done on it?

I started looking at a basic 700 port. It doesn't look too bad.

Thanks,
Joel

Worked through building all the dependent libs (many), and am into WPEWebKit WTF.

Source/WTF/wtf/StackBounds.cpp:101:38: error: 'pthread_getattr_np' was not declared in this scope
     pthread_getattr_np(thread, &sattr);
                                      ^

Non-portable (np) pthread calls are not available with QNX pthread. So for QNX this routine needs a portable solution. We may need to pass the attribute to the thread function.

The code comment states:

// FIXME: this function is non-portable; other POSIX systems may have different np alternatives

There did used to be some QNX support. You might find some inspiration in this old ticket: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27885 or possible in an old version of StackBounds when QNX was supported (note the API changes though!) https://github.com/adobe/webkit/blob/master/Source/WTF/wtf/StackBounds.cpphttps://github.com/adobe/webkit/blob/master/Source/WTF/wtf/StackBounds.cpp

However, this would be better discussed upstream if you're working towards a new QNX port.

It would seem QNX support was pulled at some point, as it's here:
https://opensource.apple.com/source/WTFEmbedded/WTFEmbedded-95.26/wtf/StackBounds.cpp.auto.html

I wonder what the story is behind removing it. QT moving to Chrome?

I'm about 11 file changes into this port, and the build is only at 3%...

The attraction for me on WPEWebKit, is the ability to minimize the runtime footprint.

QNX port got removed from upstream years ago. See http://trac.webkit.org/r161601
