Bug 1565728 - Introduce PDocAccessiblePlatformExt. r=Jamie!

Details | Review

We currently have two separate PDocAccessible ipdls for both windows and "everything else". This is mostly due to unique nature of our windows solution where content processes can be communicated directly with once a client gets access to their COM object.

This means that on Windows we don't have a myriad of synchronous IPC calls for name/state/etc, and rely on the OSes transport layer. In Windows we also need some specific IPC calls related to passing COM pointers around.

In Android there are several places where having a specialized async API would be very helpful. For example the recently added child->parent Batch method, or a handful of parent->child calls like pivot, text navigation, selection and clipboard actions. Some of those are available in the sync API, but they are insufficient because (a) we don't need them to be synchronous and (b) they require more than one round trip (for example, clipboard operations need to first access the selection bounds).

For the Batch method, and other android-only accessibility events, I ended up doing a lot of ifdefing in DocAccessibleParent that adds complexity to already complex code with alternate chunks being preprocessed for windows or other. We need a cleaner solution that would allow specialized IPC methods for different platforms without fragmenting things even further.

Ultimately Batch from PDocAccessible would be moved to here as well.

This is an extension protocol that can be used for platform specific
API (ie. AccessibleWrap methods).

I'm not thrilled with the seperate constructor for the sub-protocol.
This means that the parent won't have the actor upon DocAccessibleParent
construction, and some timing bugs can arise because of the extra round
trip. It would be cool if both actors could be co-created, but that
would require ManagedEndpoint, and for PBrowser to manage them both. I
don't want to expose this to PBrowser.

Just putting these patches here as a proposal to debate. What I like about it is that it allows us to keep platform-specific calls separate and not pollute the ipdl namespace.

I don't know how to solve that problem along with the windows/other divide. I think the distinction in those protocols is more implementation specific.

What I find:

pwd is /home/user/build/1packages/4used/firefox-hg/makepkg_pacman/firefox-hg/src/firefox-hg 
$ find . -name DocAccessiblePlatformExtChild.h
./accessible/ipc/extension/android/DocAccessiblePlatformExtChild.h
./accessible/ipc/extension/other/DocAccessiblePlatformExtChild.h

$ find . -name PDocAccessiblePlatformExtChild.h
./obj-x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/ipc/ipdl/_ipdlheaders/mozilla/a11y/PDocAccessiblePlatformExtChild.h

So I'm guessing the include path is wrong? or that DocAccessiblePlatformExtChild.h include wasn't generated in .../mozilla/a11y/ ?
possibly because of my ac_add_options --disable-accessibility mozconfig option?

it continues compilation if I simply replace that include
#include "mozilla/a11y/DocAccessiblePlatformExtChild.h"
with
#include "../../../../accessible/ipc/extension/other/DocAccessiblePlatformExtChild.h"
in file: obj-x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/ipc/ipdl/PDocAccessiblePlatformExtChild.cpp
(which is in the uncleaned output build dir)

and
#include "mozilla/a11y/DocAccessiblePlatformExtParent.h"
with
#include "../../../../accessible/ipc/extension/other/DocAccessiblePlatformExtParent.h"
in file: obj-x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/ipc/ipdl/PDocAccessiblePlatformExtParent.cpp

so, uhm, it was just a wrong path? still unsure

I removed build dir and thus compiled from scratch and that error still happens, so it's good to know it wasn't happening due to unclean build dir:

I'm using the following naive workaround until(if ever) a fix is issued:

that's just so I can avoid manually editing the two .cpp files with the correct path like I did in Comment 14.

Note(again): that I'm using ac_add_options --disable-accessibility in mozconfig which is why the above is needed, for me.

Looks like we may need to add this protocol to VIRTUAL_CALL_CLASSES in direct_call.py.

Nika, is that still the way to go, or should we be doing something different?

We discussed different options to consider async - :eeejay is looking into them :-)

Can I ask you why you use --disable-accessibility? Wondering whether we need that compile flag in the first place.

no particular reason lookslike, just disabling stuff I know I don't use/want (like webrtc too for example)
