385872 - Strict warnings should only be enabled for chrome by default (in debug builds)

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: General, defect, P2)

Description

[Jesse Ruderman]

Bug 383365 recently enabled strict warnings in debug builds by default, for both chrome and content.

Seeing a zillion strict warnings every time I load almost any web page is annoying.  Strict warnings should only be enabled by default (in debug builds) for chrome.

You break it, you buy it. Please fix this soon, it's a noise tax on every developer using a DEBUG build.

Possibly nsContentUtils::IsCallerChrome?

Would prefer the one-argument form of do_QueryInterface and a null test of chromeWindow to the rv block local being passed and tested. Simpler source (don't care about compiled code here, but that may be shorter too).

Ok with me as SR given the above nit picked, asking jst to review.

+    nsIScriptGlobalObject *global = context->GetGlobalObject();
+    if (global) {
+      nsresult rv;
+      nsCOMPtr<nsIDOMChromeWindow> chromeWindow(do_QueryInterface(global, &rv));
+      if (NS_SUCCEEDED(rv))

Yeah, check chromeWindow here and don't bother with the nsresult, and also remove the if (global) check as do_QueryInterface() does that check for you.

r=jst with that.
