294067 - Updates to nsLocalFileOS2

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: XPCOM, defect)

Description

[Rich Walsh]

The patch brings the OS/2 version of nsLocalFile up to a code level comparable
to its Win32 counterpart.



In general, new or revised Win32 code was copied as-is, while existing OS/2 code
was largely left intact.  Reformatting (to provide a consistent coding style)
and rearrangement (to group all static functions at the top of the file) account
for the bulk of the diff.  To make review a little easier, I've attached an
extra diff that ignores whitespace changes.



New or significantly revised code:

 *  _mbsstr() - required by AppendNativeInternal() [original]

 *  nsDriveEnumerator - patterned after the Win32 version [original]

 *  AppendNativeInternal() - supports AppendNative() and
      AppendRelativeNativePath [ported]

 *  Normalize() - previously a no-op [ported]

 *  SetPermissions() - neither the OS/2 nor the Win32 versions seemed
      appropriate;  I rewrote this to ensure that only the readonly flag
      will ever be changed [original]

 *  IsExecutable() - again, neither the OS/2 nor Win32 versions seemed
      quite right [original]



There are two other minor changes worth noting:

 *  Reveal() - now uses OPEN_DEFAULT to honor the user's choice of views
      (this resolves a personal grievance)

 *  IsSpecial() - now returns false;  in the future, it will return true
      if the "file" is a WPS object.  (N.B.  Linux uses this method to
      identify non-file objects such as devices and sockets.  No other
      platform-specific or XP code ever calls this method.)

I'll probably have to take your word on this :)

If the browser comes up and generally works, you got it right...

Even the review version is quite hard to follow, still lots of formatting
changes intermingled with real changes to the code, but I hope I have found and
checked the important changes. Well, I don't really have any comments, the
suite still runs nicely with this patch. Or should I verify that anything now
works better than before? (Well, the SetPermissions change might help with the
multiple bookmarks problem of Firefox...)

These changes were shipped as part of the recent Dee Park alpha and we recived
no negative feedback.
