270983 - Compiling HEAD fails with nsBaseHashtableET has no member named KeyEquals

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core :: IPC, defect)

Description

[James Blanford]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041120
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041120

I've heard that the code that won't compile is not used, but it does stop me
from compiling Mozilla from CVS head.  I've tried adding a KeyEquals member
(using guesswork and mimics) and can get further, but then the linker gives up
at regchrome.o

Two related bugs are:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=212919

and

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=241876

I have no trouble compiling along 1_7, but that branch has become quite crash
prone since the component listener interface has been added.  Obviously the
Build Identifier is from one of these successful builds, not from HEAD, which
won't build.  I suspect that Mozilla compiles for others because my compiler is
less tolerant.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  ./configure
2.  make

Actual Results:  
compile stops at mozilla/ipc/ipcd/client/src/ipcdclient.cpp

Expected Results:  
finish compiling Mozilla

I'm using Debian gcc-3.4 version 3.4.2-3

bsmedberg, any idea about that error for the above hashtable?
