100112 - get rid of domstubs.idl

Status: RESOLVED INACTIVE

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect, P5)

Description

[Alec Flett]

I created these files a long time ago, and supposedly we don't need them any
more because XPConnect resolves IIDs correctly, and because we have an
XPConnect-based DOM now. 

I think there is a similar bug assigned against waterson, but I can't seem to
find it...

Chris, you seen this bug around anywhere? If so feel free to mark this a dupe
and I'll take that bug.

ugh, it looks like with the new DOM IDL landing, domstubs is included in just
about every dom file. moving this out for now. xulstubs.idl is no longer used
though.

Bugs targeted at mozilla1.0 without the mozilla1.0 keyword moved to mozilla1.0.1 
(you can query for this string to delete spam or retrieve the list of bugs I've 
moved)

Comment 4

[Alec Flett]

not critial for 1.0

Comment 5

[Alec Flett]

moving tracking/non-critical bugs to mozilla 1.2

Comment 6

[Alec Flett]

mozilla 1.1alpha is more or less done, so I'm moving non-critical mozilla1.2beta
bugs out to the next milestone to make room for the mozilla1.1alpha bugs that
didn't make it.

Are we still planning to eliminate this file at some point?  Or what?

Comment 8

[Johnny Stenback (:jst)]

Uh, I don't see any reason to remove this file, it's used as a file to put
generic forward declarations n' such in, the code is IMO cleaner with this file
than w/o it.

Comment 9

[Aaron Leventhal]

Jst says there is no reason to do this.

So shouldn't we mark this invalid, and then add domstubs to the SDK so people
can use the DOM interfaces there?

Comment 10

[Aaron Leventhal]

Removing dependency, it is not relevant now that domstubs is part of SDK.

Comment 11

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

I think we should wontfix this...
