Qt WebKit on AIX -- need help/advice
-
I've been tasked with getting QT WebKit working on AIX, Solaris, and HPUX. With some work, I am currently able to compile and statically link QT WebKit 5.5.0 on AIX 6.1 using the IBM xlC 13.1.3 compiler. As I expected, I encounter issues at run-time, specifically in the JavaScriptCore module "low-level interpreter." Before I dive-in deep and debug, I'd like to see if by chance anyone:
(1) has had success with Qt WebKit on AIX with JavaScriptCore.
(2) has rough idea on how much effort it would be to get it working on these platforms, and what might be involved.I suspect that this is not working for anyone and will be non-trival, as indicated by the following from the QT Technical FAQ:
I would like to know how I can build Qt on Solaris / HP-UX / AIX
Note that Solaris 9 is currently not supported !
See our Supported Platforms http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/supported-platforms.html
You should be able to build Qt on those platforms if you disable WebKit and JavaScriptCore entirely. Those platforms are not supported and tested upstream, therefore Webkit is not supported on these.
If you use the -no-script and -no-webkit configure flags, then things should be fine. The legacy Qt script implementation is now available as an add-on solution. See:
http://blog.qt.io/2009/11/23/qtscript-in-46/In case this helps, my 32-bit application loads a simple html document with simple JavaScript via a string. When run on AIX 6.1, JavaScriptCore seg faults and core dumps when I call QWebFrame::setContent(const QByteArray&,const QString&,const QUrl&). This is working on Windows and Linux. Within QT WebKit, the failure occurs in: JSC::LLInt::CLoop::execute(JSC::ExecState*,JSC::OpcodeID,bool).
There doesn't seem to be any issue with the first opcode encountered (from "LowLevelInterpreter.cpp"):
356 opcode = LLInt::getOpcode(bootstrapOpcodeId);
where bootstrapOpcodeId evaluates to: llint_program_prologueHowever, the next opcode is unknown (0x42ED62D0) and is causing an ASSERT and seg fault in my debug build:
14 opcode = CAST<Opcode>(rPC.i8p);
15 DISPATCH_OPCODE();
//...
404 switch (opcode)
//...
441 #if !ENABLE(COMPUTED_GOTO_OPCODES)
442 default:
443 ASSERT(false); // Aborted here...
444 #endif
445
446 } // END bytecode handler cases.My html is quite simple as is the embedded javascript:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>HELLO, WORLD TEST</title>
</head>
<body>
<div id="thediv">Hello, World!</div>
<br/><br/><br/>
<svg id="thesvg" height="200" width="200">
<circle id="thecircle" cx="50" cy="50" r="100" stroke="black" stroke-width="3" fill="red"></circle>
</svg>
<script>
thecircle.style.fill = 'green';
thecircle.setAttribute('r', 300)
</script>
</body>
</html>Here is the relevant call stack:
