Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Core :: Widget, defect)

nsIWidget::GetParent and some other methods in this interface don't use NS_IMETHOD_ for their deklaration.

e.g.
virtual nsIWidget* GetParent(void) = 0;
should read
NS_IMETHOD_(nsIWidget*) GetParent(void) = 0;

Because of this the affected methods do not get the usual decorations like a calling convention.

Specifically the calling convention bite me because for an embedding project I tried to reimplement parts of the nsWindow object.

Reproducible: Always

This conflicts with bug 431634. What are you trying to do?

Comment 2

[Ray Kraesig [:rkraesig]]

The deCOMtamination process begun in bug 431634 was later completed in bug 1293596. It's not likely that we'll reverse that without a very compelling use case.

Closing as WONTFIX.
