Replace NS_RUNTIMEABORT with MOZ_CRASH, MOZ_CRASH_UNSAFE_OOL, and MOZ_CRASH_UNSAFE_PRINTF then remove NS_RUNTIMEABORT.

NS_RUNTIMEABORT's app notes just add "###!!! ABORT" with file and line numbers and "AbortMessage(nonPIDBuf.buffer)" annotations to the crash report, which is no more information than MOZ_CRASH adds with gMozCrashReason.

Green Try run:

Bug 1412048 - Replace NS_RUNTIMEABORT(var) with MOZ_CRASH_UNSAFE_OOL(var).  data-review?francois

Francois, MOZ_CRASH_UNSAFE_OOL causes data collection because crash strings are annotated to crash-stats and are publicly visible. Firefox data stewards must do data review on usages of this macro. However, all the crash strings this patch collects with MOZ_CRASH_UNSAFE_OOL are already collected with NS_RUNTIMEABORT.

So if I understand you correctly, there's no additional data collection as a result of this patch?

Correct. The same data that was added to crash reports with NS_RUNTIMEABORT will now be added with MOZ_CRASH_UNSAFE_OOL. I requested data-review because the MOZ_CRASH_UNSAFE_OOL comments in Assertions.h ask for it:

 * @note This macro causes data collection because crash strings are annotated
 * to crash-stats and are publicly visible. Firefox data stewards must do data
 * review on usages of this macro.

Bug 1412048 - Remove NS_RUNTIMEABORT.

It looks like this macro is not used in many places; should we file a followup for removing it?

Yeah. I have a follow-up patch to replace NS_ABORT with MOZ_ASSERT_UNREACHABLE. I just didn't want to inundate you with too many big cleanup patches. :)

My follow-up patch also replaces NS_NOTREACHED and NS_NOTYETIMPLEMENTED with MOZ_ASSERT_UNREACHABLE. That change isn't as straightforward because NS_NOTREACHED and NS_NOTYETIMPLEMENTED just log warnings instead of asserting, whereas MOZ_ASSERT_UNREACHABLE will assert. Unfortunately, a few NS_NOTREACHED assertions fail on a Try test run. I need to figure out if those NS_NOTREACHED failures are real bugs (or just comment out those assertions and file new bugs for each).

My life consists of being inundated by big cleanup patches; have you seen the code I'm supposed to be responsible for? =D

I had a very old entry down the bottom of my todo.txt file:

I just removed it! Thank you for the clean-up.
