1217077 - Remove use of for-each from services/.

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Tooru Fujisawa [:arai]]

Need to replace non-standard for-each with one of:
  * for-of
  * for-in
  * array.map/array.filter for array-comprehension
as a part of bug 1083470.

converting rules are following:
  * for-each
    * for each (let x in array) { ... }
      -> for (let x of array) { ... }
    * for each (let x in object) { ... }
      -> for (let key in object) { let x = object[key]; ... }
    * for each (let [key, value] in Iterator(object)) { ... }
      -> for (let key in object) { let value = object[key]; ... }
    * for each (let x in array) { ... }
      where array can be null or undefined
      -> if (array) { for (let x of array) { ... } }

  * legacy array comprehension with for-each
    * [EXPR for each (x in array)]
      -> array.map(x => EXPR)
    * [EXPR for each (x in array) if (COND)]
      -> array.filter(x => COND).map(x => EXPR)
    * [x for each (x in array) if (COND)]
      -> array.filter(x => COND)
    * [EXPR for each ([i, x] in Iterator(array)) if (g(x, i)]
      -> array.filter((x, i) => g(x, i)).map((x => EXPR)
    * [EXPR for each (x in arraylike)]
      -> Array.from(arraylike).map(x => EXPR)
    * [EXPR for each (x in string)]
      -> Array.prototype.slice.call(string).map(x => EXPR)
         // Array.from behaves differently for surrogate-pair

I'll post a patch shortly.

update from other bugs.

Newer Array comprehension ([for (x of y) x]) is now also non-standard and we shouldn't use it as a replacement for legacy array comprehension.  I used map/filter instead in the patch :)
