1624789 - Replace MOZ_MUST_USE with [[nodiscard]] in gfx

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Graphics, task, P3)

Description

[Chris Peterson [:cpeterson]]

The MOZ_MUST_USE macro is defined as clang's and gcc's nonstandard attribute((warn_unused_result)). Now that we compile as C++17 by default (bug 1560664), we can replace MOZ_MUST_USE with C++17's standard [[nodiscard]] attribute.

Also move MOZ_MUST_USE before function declarations' specifiers and return type. While clang and gcc's __attribute__((warn_unused_result)) can appear before, between, or after function specifiers and return types, the [[nodiscard]] attribute must precede the function specifiers.
