In the patch for bug 563106, I added the line:

  // XXX Brain transplant outer window JSObject and create new one!

this needs to turn into real code.

Burns:    Dammit, Smithers, this isn't rocket science, it's brain surgery!

Andreas, what's the plan here?

We want to transplant the outer object's brain from one JSObject to another as we navigate from one compartment to the next (in ConnectToInner maybe). I worry about transplanting the brain of an object that's in internal XPConnect tables though. I think it will be easier if we make a new implementation of the outer window using proxies instead of XPConnect and scriptable helpers. The outer window could be a straightforward (non-cross-compartment) wrapper of the inner.
Our plan is to rewrite the outer object as a proxy and then we are doing a very limited brain transplant (switch handlers) between the outer window (proxy) and the wrapper (proxy).
Attached patch patch (obsolete) — Splinter Review
v1, implementing the outer window proxy
Next step: go through the compartment lists and update/swap the wrappers.

I can't test this well until we have more xpconnect changes from blake in place.

Reminder - we need to make sure that XrayWrappers see through the new outer window proxy to the underlying C++ object (as XPCNativeWrappers do for the old-style outer window XPCWNs now).

I'm working on this. <http://hg.mozilla.org/users/mrbkap_mozilla.com/brain-transplants> is my current patch queue. With the patches in the queue, the browser starts, but there are a couple of known bugs to fix.

This isn't necessary for beta5 with the feature freeze moved out, pushing to beta6.

Blocks: lazy-console
Blocks: devtools4b7
Is this going to land in beta 6? This bug is blocking the Web Console feature (or, at least, the lazily created "console" object that is the new basis for the Web Console feature).
In Blake's patch queue. Implemented and working except location. document.domain probably working right but needs tests.

What's this about?

Don't really need this anymore I think.

Long line.

How can this not be true, shouldn't you compare to the original flat from before calling JS_WrapObject? Maybe you wanted to set |*d = OBJECT_TO_JSVAL(flat)| before the call to JS_WrapObject.

I'd do this first in CreateOuterObject.

Some updates pushed to the queue. Some numbers:

Note that the second number is inflated somewhat by some small patches that fix compartment warnings. Still chugging along. We run the first group of mochitests but are currently getting shot down by compartment assertions under XBL-land. Still debugging...

I just ended up landing a patch on the b7 branch that changes the window utils iid.  I generated a new IID, because what's there matches nothing else on m-c, but once this is merge to that branch the IIDs on branch and m-c should match.

Adding dev-doc-needed because this removed XPCSafeJSObjectWrapper (which devmo just says "New in Firefox 3"), and a few places such as nsProxyAutoConfig.js and venkman-static.js still use it. Sorry for the bugspam.
