170435 - MfcEmbed no longer runs in a GRE based env.

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core Graveyard :: Embedding: APIs, defect)

Description

[Chak Nanga]

The glue changes which landed as part of
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=157597 have caused MfcEmbed to no
longer run in a GRE based env.

I think we may have issues with non-GRE based builds also since i'm seeing an
assert at
http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/embedding/tests/mfcembed/MfcEmbed.cpp#371

So, with the glue changes in embedding apps seems to be no longer to
successfully call NS_NewNativeLocalFile().

[Chak Nanga]

To clarify...the assert happens in both the GRE and non-GRE based envs
indicating a failure with NS_NewNativeLocalFile().

In the non-GRE case one can run MfcEmbed since passing a NULL (due to the
failure of NS_NewNativeLocalFile()) to NS_InitEmbedding() is OK

We die in the GRE case.

i backed these changes out.
