1954854 - xpidl out parameters that are turned into return types for JavaScript should not be marked as OutParam<> in TypeScript

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Developer Infrastructure :: Lint and Formatting, task, P3)

Description

[Mark Banner (:standard8)]

If we have an interface function defined in idl as:

void readBytes(in uint32_t aLength, [size_is(aLength), retval] out string aString);

then we're currently generating the typescript interface as:

readBytes(aLength: u32): OutParam<string>;

However, the JavaScript generated interface is returning the simple string. Hence we shouldn't be wrapping it as an OutParam.
