457102 - kill nsIXPointer

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect, P2)

Description

[(dormant account)]

My dead method finder, showed nsXPath1SchemeProcessor::Evaluate not being used

smaug suggested that I kill nsIXPointer. Question is: how much should be nuked, the entire IDL?

The more the merrier :)

So yes, the full IDL and anything that implements or calls it.

There is  http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/dom/public/idl/core/nsIDOMXMLDocument.idl#75 , though even that throws
Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80040154 (NS_ERROR_FACTORY_NOT_REGISTERED)"  nsresult: "0x80040154 (NS_ERROR_FACTORY_NOT_REGISTERED)"  location: "JS frame :: javascript:document.implementation.createDocument("",%20"",%20null).evaluateXPointer(""); :: <TOP_LEVEL> :: line 1"  data: no]
by default.

"[need gk2 ship]" - Does that mean "depends on bug 610267"?

Comment 5

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

I have no idea.  My impression is that bug was tracking "big landings".

"[need gk2 ship]" just means I need to land this but don't need to worry about it until after the tree reopens.
