Thanks for the patch!

So -- right now, this patch simultaneously refactors some existing code (via introducing "AnimListMirrorsBaseList" API), and *also* it adds some new SetCapacity calls.

Could you split this into two patches, with the refactoring first and the new code second? Specifically:
 - "part 1" would be everything in this patch except for the new SetCapacity calls.
 - "part 2" would add the new SetCapacity calls.

That would make this a bit easier to review, and it would make regression-hunting easier as well, in the (perhaps unlikely) event that this causes regressions.

part 2 would be the diff between the original patch and part 1.

Attaching it here for reference & for review purposes.

I don't think this wants the "!" -- the condition is the opposite (no "!") in every other file here.

(Canceling review on & obsoleting the first patch, since this should land in parts as noted above.)

It's a bit iffy that we proceed to dereference animVal right after declaring it, here & everywhere in this patch, when the thing we're assigning to it is generally allowed to be null.  Of course, you & I know that our earlier AnimListMirrorsBaseList() check guarantees that it'll be non-null at this point -- but that's non-obvious to someone skimming the code here. (and wondering about null-checks elsewhere to lack-of-null-checks here.)

Could you add an assertion after all of these no-longer-null-checked "animVal" decls, to explicitly state (& verify) the assumption that it's non-null? e.g. this one-liner:

  MOZ_ASSERT(animVal, "AnimListMirrorsBaseList() promised a non-null animVal");

Otherwise, in the unlikely event that we end up with a null pointer, we'll crash *while evaluating the condition for a different assertion** (about MOZ_ASSERT(animVal->mItems) in many cases here, which is awkward.

(This applies throughout this patch.)

This early-return should probably move up to be the first thing in this function now, to avoid AddRef/Release churn from the unused "animVal" declaration above it.

(That declaration was formerly used as part of this "if" check, but it's not used anymore, as of this patch.)

This also goes for this same code in DOMSVGNumberList.cpp and DOMSVGTransformList.cpp.

(Part 1 is essentially r=me once comment 9 is addressed, but I'm not marking r+ yet -- it's probably worth another sanity-check review on the final version, since comment 9 represents a bunch of (small) changes throughout the patch.)

Indeed, well spotted. I'll fix that on check in.

Optional nit: seems like the blank line between the assertions wants to be dropped here (& throughout the patch), to make things a bit shorter & to visually group these consecutive sanity-checks together.  But, no big deal.

r=me either way, thanks!
