181519 - create a simple class creation testdriver which can run without crashing to expose problems in xpconnect, xpcom, component implementations

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Core :: XPConnect, enhancement)

Description

[timeless]

depending on your platform, you should do something like this to run the driver:
./run-mozilla.sh ./xpcshell -w -s driver.js
xpcshell.exe -w -s driver.js

Ideally there should be no assertions, warnings, or printf output under standard
build flags (this includes -DDEBUG but excludes things like -DDEBUG_xpc_hacker).

there are a bunch of versions of this driver. currently there are a bunch of
problems that it exposes, i'd like to keep the dependencies for these bugs
relatively clean, so if a bunch of similar bugs can be categorized i'd like to
have this bug depend on a metabug for the category and have that depend on the
individual problems instead of having this bug directly depend on the individual
bugs.

run-mozilla.sh isn't a thing any more.
