I guess we can just commit this and try it on the field...

FWIW, compiler reported this:

/usr/src/gnash/gnash-head/plugin/npapi/plugin.cpp:930:14: warning: variable 'invokeResult' set but not used [-Wunused-but-set-variable]
         bool invokeResult = false;

I'm not experienced with NPAPI either, so can't help much with it.
Do you want to take a look, Rob ?

Current NPAPI libgnashplugin code returns a custom-allocated `NPObject`
to browser when it receives Object-typed or Array-typed return value from
player-side ExternalInterface callback.

Doing this resulting in object's members not being set correctly
(`NPN_SetProperty()` returned false), JavaScript seen the object
as type `function`, and the plugin container crashed after it
received such `NPObject` instance.

The attached `0001_make-libgnashplugin-return-real-js-object.patch` does following things:

  • Drop the custom `NPObject` allocation in `ExternalInterface::parseXML()`.
  • Make `ExternalInterface::parseXML()` call container's `window.Object()` method to construct a JavaScript-authentic `Object`.
  • Change `NPP nppinstance` field in `GnashPluginScriptObject` to public, allowing `ExternalInterface::parseXML()` to access it.
  • Change various functions which call `ExternalInterface::parseXML()`, to make them pass `GnashPluginScriptObject` along.
  • Implement `NPN_GetValue()` and `NPN_Invoke()` stub in standalone tester.
  • Comment out existing `<object>` parsing test as `GnashPluginScriptObject` and container's `window` object are not available in testing environment.


This fixes the crash and single-depth Object member unmarshalling in
JavaScript-calls-Flash ExternalInterface return value, partially fixing
bug #32411, while allowing unrelated tests in plugin's standalone tester
to continue working.

This patch needs review since I'm new to Netscape Plugin API framework
and its NPRuntime extension, and I'm not sure if there's a nicer way to
implement this (especially the way that `NPP` instance got passed around).
