While the college bowl games played and the players tried to kill each other on the field, I went and killed a bunch of Clang compiller warnings on Linux -- not in any super-orderly manner except by the type of the warning, and not necessarily comprehensively for any of them, due to hard-to-modify code like NSS, IPC, breakpad, &.
Doing so silences these warnings as far as Clang's concerned (and super-recent MSVC 11, according to the bug report I filed with them).

In C it's stupidly legal to declare variables without a type, and to call functions without prior declarations.  Who ever thought that was at all a good idea?  :-\

Some of these things were horrendously unreadable to the point where it's a wonder the original conditions were written correctly.  (Assuming they were...)

Wouldn't "(void)b;" work just as well here? I thought that was the preferred way to "use" otherwise-unused variables.  Seems simpler than adding an additional method, too.

Other than that, r=me.

(void)b is not enough for some compilers, IIRC.

Why do your edits in this file use NULL instead of nsnull?  I assumed it was to match contextual style, but I count 30 instances of "nsnull" in this file[1], vs. only 6 instances of "NULL" [2].  Maybe the /xpconnect prefers NULL in general though? (I don't know.)

Anyway, with that mentioned, I trust your judgement, so r=me either way.

I really don't like assignment-inside-an-if-statement -- it's so easy (and so much clearer) to split it out into two consecutive lines that I don't see the point of doing it as a one-liner like this.

I'd much prefer if we split this into:
   treeItem = do_QueryInterface(docshell);
   if (treeItem) {

r=me with that (assuming you agree)

Well, as another alternative, there's also "unused.h", which allows for:
  unused << b;

That also should work (& be simpler), I'd imagine.

Parenthesize && expressions nested in || expressions

So... this sort of warning-fix is slightly tricky, because there's always a chance that the existing logic is subtly broken -- and if that's the case, then adding parenthesis to "solidify" the existing logic would be a step in the wrong direction.

So, I looked for two things when reviewing this patch:
 (a) did you preserve the existing logic
 (b) is the (now more explicit with parens) logic sensible / what was intended

This looks good in both respects, except for one chunk where I'm suspicious about the "(b)" department.

That chunk is:

>         (!aProperty && NodeIsProperty(aNode)))  // or node is any prop and we asked for that

Firstly, one whitespace nit: the second-to-last line there (for "nsEditProperty::name") needs to be indented by one more space, to stay aligned with its parenthesization-level.

But more importantly: I'm not convinced that the existing logic here is correct.

Note that the structure of the contextual code is:
  // first process the children
    [... iterate across children, making recursive calls ...]
  // then process the node itself
    [ the above-quoted conditional, which guards self-processing code ]

Given that structure, I think the "!aChildrenOnly" condition is more important than the existing logic gives it credit for -- I think it implies "process the node itself" should be skipped.  That is to say -- I suspect the logic is supposed to be:
  if ( !aChildrenOnly && (... all the other checks ...))
even if it doesn't currently behave that way.

So (unless I'm missing something) I'd prefer that we leave this particular conditional un-modified for now, and file a separate bug on investigating & correcting the logic there (named e.g. "nsHTMLEditor::RemoveStyleInside may process the passed-in node even when aChildrenOnly is set").

r=me with that conditional removed & that bug filed

What jdm said.  As for unused, given that it's a test file with rather specific requirements, being that it's a breakpad test and all, I think fewer dependencies is better, so I left it using the current trick.

Mistake -- code's too similar to JS engine code that uses NULL exclusively.  I can't wait until someone rewrites all the stupid nsnulls in the code base to NULL...

I fixed these up to not simply parenthesize -- agree that's nicer.

Filed bug 711862 on this -- and I'm thinking, at least based on names, you might be right here.  (Editor code buggy?  Unpossible!)
sorry, I'm distracted today :/

Add MOZ_FINAL to a bunch of classes with virtual methods but non-virtual destructors

r=dbaron (I'm assuming that you've tested on a compiler that gives a compilation error when there's a class derived from one with MOZ_FINAL)

Speaking of which, did you get a chance to add back the MOZ_FINAL annotations to the classes marked with NS_FINAL_CLASS that you had to not add because of (now removed) nsDerivedSafe?

Fix implicit-declaration warnings in trace-malloc

If you're making an nsTypeInfo.h, could you put the declaration of nsGetTypeName in it too?  (And thus remove the redeclaration in nsTraceMalloc.c in addition to the one in nsTypeInfo.cpp.)

Also, please use PR_BEGIN_EXTERN_C etc.

I'm not sure what caused the files to which I forgot to add Attributes.h includes to compile on Linux.  I meant to take a look at .i files, then I changed my srcdir too much to be able to easily check.  :-\  Maybe I can puzzle it out of them even with further changes, and with this relanding...
