Toolkit autocomplete has two new status codes, RESULT_NOMATCH_ONGOING (which is useless, but then I didn't review the code) and RESULT_SUCCESS_ONGOING.
Attached patch Proposed patchSplinter Review
* Added new async status constants to nsIAutoCompleteListener
* Don't decrement the pending session count for async returns
* Added a new field to autocomplete to track the first return,
  since we can no longer use the pending session count
* Pass the previous async results to addResultElements
* Replace the results in-place in the popup
  (note that this code assumes that none of the existing results change)

> * Replace the results in-place in the popup
The code jumps through hoops to replace the results correctly because at least one autocomplete data source reuses result objects.

Andrew, any chance of looking at the review for this soon - I could really do with it for finishing off the autocomplete migration.

Proposed patch

>Index: xpfe/components/autocomplete/public/nsIAutoCompleteListener.idl
>+    // the following status values indicate that the async search hasn't ended
>+    const long noMatchYet       = 4;
>+    const long matchSoFar       = 5;

this needs a uuid rev
otherwise looks good

Not true, new constants don't need a UUID rev, see nsIPrompt.idl for example.

Proposed patch

>Index: xpfe/components/autocomplete/resources/content/autocomplete.xml
>===================================================================
>+              while (++oldIndex < this.mCounts.length)
>+                row -= this.mCounts[i];

This is what causes the following line in error console for me:

Error: i is not defined
Source File: chrome://global/content/autocomplete.xml
Line: 1328
Checked in the following fix as http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/index.cgi/rev/3d00b7d5ce32 after IRC conversation with Neil:

-                row -= this.mCounts[i];
+                row -= this.mCounts[oldIndex];

This is either r=Neil or p=Neil/r=me, as you like it. Neil proposed this fix, I fixed and tested it locally, Neil told to check this in if it works :)

Note that the error happened when actually doing async updates to autocomplete which we usually don't have in our code yet, but the places code I'm building locally does that, so I saw the error.

The autocomplete doesn't close if it received a noMatchYet status.

Follow-up fix, v1

If we can get drop mFailureCount, that seems like the better option

>       <!-- get the total number of results in a specific session or overall if session is null-->

It turns out that we stop the search even when we're supposed to be ignoring input events, which seems wrong anyway, and breaks async LDAP quite badly, but would also break places if you turned on auto fill.

hmm, processInput also gets called from keyNavigation.  perhaps just make this an earlier return?

Yes, but it never sets ignoreInputEvent anyway.
