My question was underspecified. At minimum, the JS bridging should have these properties: 1) Returning a non-null const Encoding* from C++ materializes a JS object. 2) Passing the JS object back to C++ materializes the original pointer on the C++ side. 3) Returning a null const Encoding* from C++ materializes a JS null. 4) Passing a JS null to C++ materializes nullptr. 5) Comparing two JS objects materialized per point #1 with == is true iff they were materiazed from the same C++ pointer. Is that kind of thing doable with little effort? It would be a bonus if the JS objects could come with pre-defined methods, but that's not strictly necessary. -- Henri Sivonen hsivo...@hsivonen.fi https://hsivonen.fi/ _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
