454588 - Want to find all callers of nsIDocument::GetContainer

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Developer Infrastructure :: Source Code Analysis, defect)

Description

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

I want to do several analyses, actually:

1)  Finding all consumers of nsIDocument::GetContainer or 
    nsIDocument::mDocumentContainer.
2)  Finding all consumers of nsIDocument::GetWindow
3)  Finding all consumers of nsIDocument::GetInnerWindow
4)  Finding all consumers of nsIDocument::GetScopeObject
5)  Finding all consumers of nsIDocument::GetScriptHandlingObject
6)  Finding all consumers of nsIDocument::GetScriptGlobalObject
7)  Finding all consumers of nsIDocument::GetParentDocument()/mParentDocument
8)  Finding all consumers of nsPresContext::GetContainer
9)  Finding all consumers of nsPresContext::GetLinkHandler

There are probably some others. I figure if I can get some boilerplate together for one of these the others should be similar.

Peanut gallery:  Hmm, this sounds interesting.  I wonder if a similar functionality (finding callers directly instead of doing a string search) could be added to mxr.

Here is the most basic class member finder, deals with virtual and non-virtual functions and tries to print out their most exact location
