561716 - g_type_init not called by nsMaemoNetworkManager::Startup in the Qt build

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Networking, defect)

Description

[James Cook]

In a Qt build the nsMaemoNetworkManager::Startup function (from netwerk/system/maemo/nsMaemoNetworkManager.cpp) does not call g_type_init before calling dbus_connection_setup_with_g_main.  This causes a problem with xpcshell, not allowing for any networking events to be monitored.

I'm not sure this is the right thing to do, but it does cure the problem.  I see that g_type_init is called within toolkit/xre/nsNativeAppSupportQt.cpp, should it be moved?

i'd rather see this somewhere lower level, like in toolkit/

Problem is that we have this problem on child process, and NativeAppSupport - not started there, and nsMaemoNetworkManager::Startup called without g_type_init...

not sure but I guess nsMaemoNetworkManager::Startup should not start on content process side.

this is fine, but you got to give me a comment, man!  irc conversations don't count.

the other thing you should consider is making all network manager stuff only happen in the parent in IPC builds - not just maemo.

is it possible already describe in manifest file something like "load in parent only" and prevent even constructor call from comp manager manifest loader?

It would be nice to have such feature in component registration, and tell to component manager that this component should be only loaded in parent or child process ..

Create mNetworkLinkService only in default process

change:

// go into managed mode if we can, and chrome process

to

// go into managed mode if we can.  this should only happen in the parent process.
