Details

I am referring to these paths:

  • toolkit/xre/LauncherRegistryInfo.cpp
  • (once bug 1567219 lands) toolkit/xre/WinTokenUtils.cpp

Let's move them into mozglue/misc/winlauncher as their own library that we can then link into (and export from) mozglue.dll, thus allowing both firefox.exe and xul.dll to reference the same shared code.

On further thought, I don't think we should export this stuff from mozglue; since this code is used for launcher process decision making, exporting its functions is... not a great idea.

But we should still combine that code into a library that we can link into both firefox.exe and xul.dll.

Summary: Move toolkit/xre code shared between browser and launcher processes into its own library and link into mozglue → Move toolkit/xre code shared between browser and launcher processes into its own library
Component: General → Launcher Process
