I have no idea why this needs to be non-inline. But should cause much harm.

I filed https://github.com/w3c/pointerevents/issues/223 since the spec is super weird.

Does some spec define this?

I don't understand the need for this, and I definitely don't understand why this need to inherit nsISupports.
If you need refcounting, just use the macro to define refcounting inline.
NS_INLINE_DECL_REFCOUNTING

This is missing the cycle collection stuff.
mCoalescedEvents needs to be cycle collected at least.

That's because I added 'sequence<PointerEvent> getCoalescedEvents();' in PointerEvent.webidl, which induce PointerEventBinding.h to include PointerEvent.h and causes a circular include. Still thinking how to fix it.
We want this before shipping Pointer events, so setting P1.

Have no idea how to fix it since PointerEventBinding.h is generated.

Why are we using UniquePtr for mCoalescedEvents?

Why we need this check? Why we need the bool member variable at all?
Shouldn't we just check here that if mCoalescedEvents is empty and idgetEvent->mCoalescedWidgetEvents->mEvents
isn't empty, then populate mCoalescedEvents.


Also, do we need to ensure mCoalescedEvents is populated when we DuplicatePrivateData is called, so that getCoalescedEvents returns the right values after event dispatch?

"This API always returns at least one coalesced event for pointermove events and an empty list for other types of PointerEvents."

So pointer to event is passed to the new DOM event, but nothing guarantees the current DOM event on which 
widgetEvent lives outlives coalesced events, meaning that it is possible that mEvent on those coalesced events may end up pointing
to a deleted object eventually.

I don't see this patch dealing with DuplicatePrivateData

Does something guarantee each browser dispatched pointermove has non-empty coalesced events array?

I think the coalesced widget events are held by the dispatched widget event. The created DOM events should live during the lifetime of the dispatched DOM event of the dispatch widget event.

> I don't see this patch dealing with DuplicatePrivateData
DuplicatePrivateData calls widgetEvent's Duplicate function, which calls AssignPointerHelperData.

> coalesced events array?
When coalescing widgetEvent in CoalescedMouseData::Coalesce, the widgetEvent is cloned and added in the coalesced widget events.
JS can take a ref to the coalesced events, so nothing controls how long they will live.

Does something guarantee we always coalesce pointermoves?
And about DuplicatePrivateData, what guarantees the same coalesced pointer events are returned during event dispatch and afterwards?
Hmm, but the spec is unclear here. Should it return always the same objects or new objects?

Revise the patch to call DuplicatePrivateData on each dom event we added to the array of coalesced pointer events.

> Does something guarantee we always coalesce pointermoves?
Revise the patch to only add mousemove widget events to the array of coalesced widget events.

We keep the coalesced pointer events in the dispatch pointer event. The array of coalesced pointer events is only initialized when its empty. So we won't overwrite it when dispatching and afterwards.

This looks wrong. DuplicatePrivateData() is called when needed, but DuplicatePrivateData call needs to actually created the coalesced events if needed.
Sorry if I was unclear. So this DuplicatePrivateData() can be removed.

And looks like this does the thing.

I don't understand this. Why we need UniquePtr here? That causes extra malloc/free.
Why nsTArray<WidgetPointerEvent> doesn't work? I think it should work.

Don't we want to set the target only when initially creating DOM event, not always.
Just in case JS re-dispatches the event, target of coalesced events shouldn't change, if I read the spec right.
So, pointerEvent->mEvent->mTarget = mEvent->mTarget; should be somewhere after NS_NewDOMPointerEvent.


Do we have tests that coalesced events actually have some sane values for the properties?

WidgetMouseEvent? Make it WidgetPointerEvent, since that is the concrete class

Spec says "it should still be the same as the dispatched event's target". I thought the target of the coalesced events should be the same as the target of the dispatched event. Tested dispatch_ev_twice.html with chrome and the target of coalesced events changed when dispatching the same event to different targets.

We have a web platform test and I could create a mochitest for this.

That sounds like a bug in Chrome, I'd say.
"When the event is created by the user agent" sure, but once you use JS to redispatch the event, it becomes like it had been created from JS. Please file a spec bug.

Don't you want this all before DuplicatePrivateData() call so that it works properly
