This requires significantly more changes than the preceding two bugs, particularly in editor.  Due to the editor changes needed, it also depends on editor cleanup.

I think we can make this:

threads.SwapElements(mThreads);

instead.

Pretty sure you want to make this |uint32_t i| or you will get signed/unsigned comparison warnings.

Part 13 -- Delete nsCOMPtr<T>::operator T*()&&

Review of attachment 8647067 [details] [diff] [review]:
-----------------------------------------------------------------

I approve of this idea in principle, but I'm not sure of the right way to get to the point where we can check this patch in.
Attachment #8647067 - Flags: review?(nfroyd) → review+
Flags: needinfo?(nfroyd)
This actually works very nicely without RefParam/RawParam.  But nsCOMPtr return types are now a no-no unless you want lots of .get()s in function calls.

As currently organized, this patch set still depends on the editing patches.  In theory I could try to break this dependency, but it doesn't seem worth it at this point.

This is a little scary. In principle GetBaseChannel could return an object which does when we unref 'base', which would mean you're introducing a bug here. Why can't we continue to return an nsCOMPtr<nsIRequest> and fix callers instead?

Nathan, what do you think of comment 22?  You gave r+ on that part of the patch, so is it okay to land, or do you concur with roc's comment that I should change it?  (I don't understand it, and think something went missing -- which does what when we unref base?)
Flags: needinfo?(nfroyd)
If the problem is that GetBaseChannel might return a new object with a refcount of 1, why not return already_AddRefed?
roc has the right of it; I believe your comment 24 understanding of it is correct.  We should return some refcounted thing there and make necessary changes in the callers.

Why is this necessary?  It seems like we don't want to introduce these sorts of arguments as long as we have implicit conversion into nsCOMPtr from T*, or we'll wind up with code that doesn't look like it refcounts when it actually does?

New GetBaseRequest fix

Please add local variables instead of using .get() so we can attempt to keep .get() around for when it's truly unsafe or absolutely necessary.  r=me with that change.

(In reply to Nathan Froyd [:froydnj] from comment #29)
> Why is this necessary?

IIRC, NewRunnableMethod calls into some sort of generic template method that passes SetActiveTask a T&& (using an explicit mozilla::Move).  With T == nsCOMPtr<Element>, it no longer compiles.  (I don't remember the method where the error occurred.)

Meaning if you pass a T* to this function it will now addref?  True, but I don't see any other way to get it to work, unless you want me to specialize whatever method caused the error to treat nsCOMPtr differently.  Generally methods that are passed to NewRunnableMethod() are never called by anything else, so it doesn't seem misleading to allow the argument type in this case.

For the NS_ASSERTION case, I need to do

  DebugOnly<nsCOMPtr<nsIRequest>> baseRequest = GetBaseRequest(request);
  NS_ASSERTION(pslp->mRequests.IndexOfObject(nsCOMPtr<nsIRequest>(baseRequest)) != -1,

because of no double implicit conversion.  Do you still want this, or do you prefer .get() in this case?
Flags: needinfo?(nfroyd)
Actually, that doesn't even work.  I need this:

  DebugOnly<nsCOMPtr<nsIRequest>> baseRequest = GetBaseRequest(request);
  NS_ASSERTION(pslp->mRequests.IndexOfObject(static_cast<nsCOMPtr<nsIRequest>>(baseRequest)) != -1,
No, that doesn't work either.  I had to resort to #ifdef DEBUG.  Do you want that, or .get(), or do you have a better suggestion?

Oh, blah, this is for some silly Chromium event loop thing, rather than NS_NewRunnableMethod*, isn't it?  If it was the latter, we could explicitly say:

  NS_NewRunnableMethodWithArgs<nsCOMPtr<...>>(...);

but there's nothing like that for the Chromium side.  I guess we'll just have to live with |const nsCOMPtr&| arguments, then.

Ugh.  #ifdef DEBUG, please.
