@Livio: Flash Player 10.1 introduced ‘out-of-memory management’ which supposedly should only take down a single flash player instance, and not the whole browser, more in http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/860/cpsid_86018.html

Ah, good to know. Perhaps the article should have a note about the upcoming 4.7.0 that contains your patches (at least for osx)?

Thijs,
51105 does reduce CPU usage but was reverted later because it was required for some Flash See http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/55332

Can confirm the Flash Player (10.1) works normally with 4.7 cocoa on osx 10.5.8 I wonder if I should still apply that patch in http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/51105 which supposedly brings down the cpu 20-30%.. But thanks for all the info, was pulling my hair out.

Looks like 4.7 has most of the patches for OSX mentioned in this article, except the http://qt.gitorious.org/~girish/qt/girishs-qt/commit/6179e185892192aba52fc5b4c54aa031f2827e04 commit. 4.6.3 doesn’t have any as far as I could see, so using Flash apps with those builds seems like a dead end anyway, unless you patch it.

I’m running into issues with Flash apps not being able to get mouse focus on osx 10.5 and 10.6 using qt 4.6.3, wonder if it’s fixed in 4.7.0 rc1 by now..

Thanks a ton for your explanation here. Very helpful indeed. I’m running into an issue on X11 with the forced “mode=opaque” patch, where it doesn’t appear to be forced at all. I’m wondering if it has to do with how I’m organizing my QWebView.

Anyway, I don’t want to bother and have you do the debugging for me. I was hoping to do the debugging in QtWebKit on my own, but I don’t care to wait 2 hours in between Qt builds to check my changes. Can you point me in the direction of how you setup your development environment for debugging? Any pointers on how you’ve got your change/build/test process put together would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

@Leo – I would say one has to write large portions of code to make it work for the Mac. I am guessing ~1 month to have most of the stuff working on the Mac.
