130857 - Create unified version of nsDeviceContextSpec{GTK|Qt|Xlib}.{cpp|h} stuff in gfx/src/unixshared/

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Core :: Printing: Output, enhancement)

Description

[Roland Mainz]

Currently we have three versions of the nsDeviceContextSpec* in gfx/src/ - one
for GTK+, one for Xlib and one for Qt.

My suggestion is to create a new dir "gfx/src/unixshared/" for code shared
between the unix variants (this is not the same as gfx/src/x11shared/ !) and put
a copy of the source in that dir...

I can take it if there is interest in such a thing... rods/cls ?

I am definitely interested, as I see this seems to be the main reason why Qt
breaks every now and then. Now that I will build Qt, I care very much about this.

dmose said in #mozilla that it's "not an unreasonable request" and that a
detailed proposal should be sent to staff.  Gisburn, can you handle that, as you
know what code would be shared?

GTK1/Xlib port has been removed from trunk (bug 326152)
Qt will soon be (bug 380196)
