776635 - Allow use of JSRootedObject using only external headers

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: JavaScript Engine, defect)

Description

[Steve Fink [:sfink] [:s:]]

Currently, JS::Rooted<JSObject*> requires the full definition of JSObject to be available (due to RootMethods<JSObject*>::kind() calling JSObject::rootKind()). This patch switches to using a RootKind<T> template that is explicitly specialized in jspubtd.h for externally-visible pointer types, but still falls back on T::rootKind() for other pointer types so that we don't need to explicitly specialize on eg all subclasses of JSString or JSObject.
