Details
SpiderMonkey has a Debugger API. This API is implemented in C++, but only has a JavaScript interface. This allows the Debugger API to be used from privileged JavaScript code. This works well enough for Gecko, where the debugger server is written in JavaScript. Servo, on the other hand, does not support privileged JavaScript code, and would like to keep it that way. A debugger server for Servo would therefore have to be written in Rust. Even so, we'd still like to be able to use the existing Debugger API, rather than start over from scratch. The shortest path to get there would be to give the debugger API a C++ interface, from which we can then generate Rust bindings. This bug blocks bug 1263317, which is about implementing a higher level interface for the debugger API in Rust, on top of the lower level interface that will be generated by the bindings.
