1568729 - Teach Codegen.py about the new static prefs file headers

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: DOM: Bindings (WebIDL), task)

Description

[Nicholas Nethercote [inactive]]

Bug 1563139 will split StaticPrefs.h into lots of pieces: StaticPrefs_dom.h, StaticPrefs_gfx.h, etc. This will greatly reduce the amount of recompilation required every time a static pref is added or changed.

However, I decided that updating Codegen.py to take advantage of the new split headers could be deferred to a follow-up. When bug 1563139 lands, Codegen.py will generate code that uses the new StaticPrefsAll.h file, which includes every StaticPrefs_*.h file. It should be changed to generate code that only uses the required StaticPrefs_*.h files. This will minimize the amount of recompilation done for DOM bindings files when a static pref is added or changed.
