According to David Baron, tests should not pass if SVG isn't enabled in gecko [1]. So, I think we should consider removing this compilation option considering disabling svg is considered as 'invalid' and having svg enabled should not hurt the user.

[1] bug 579351 comment 7
I think this should be raised on mozilla.dev.platform to warn folks this is coming.

(Also, should we kill --disable-mathml as well?)
I think mathml would be a different bug.

Yes, certainly.

Also, looks like some new ifdefs were added:

Patch

>-#if defined(MOZ_SVG) || defined(MOZ_MATHML)
>+#if defined(MOZ_MATHML)
> GK_ATOM(xor_, "xor")
> #endif

You should just remove this #ifdef and #endif; otherwise you'll break
mathml-disabled builds since SVG code needs this.

In layout/build/Makefile.in, could you sort the added line properly within
LOCAL_INCLUDES?

In layout/build/nsContentDLF.h, could you just put the SVG item into
CONTENTDLF_CATEGORIES and remove CONTENTDLF_SVG_CATEGORIES.

In nsFrame.cpp:

>- * parent.  This function is used so that if MOZ_SVG is not defined, we still
>- * have unified control paths in the InvalidateInternal chain.
>+ * parent.  This function is used so that we have unified control paths
>+ * in the InvalidateInternal chain for both SVG and regular content.

Leave the comment instead, and file a followup bug on removing the function?

Same in nsIFrame.h

In toolkit-makefiles.sh, could you just add the items to the appropriate
layout/content/dom lists rather than making MAKEFILES_svg?

r=dbaron with that


(It might make sense to land everything except configure.in and 
autoconf.mk.in first, and then remove those after double-checking that 
no new MOZ_SVG checks slipped in.  But don't leave too long between
landing the two either.  Then again, landing it all at once is probably
fine too.)

Can we get an updated patch here?  Would be nice to get this into 2.0.  Shipping broken configure options isn't ideal.
Saint Wesonga, any updates here?  (Do you think you'll get a chance to finish this off, or should someone else pick this up?  As khuey said, it'd be great to see this make it into Gecko 2.0 / Firefox 4.0!)
Updated patch coming in the next day or two...

Patch

r=dbaron, although the sorting in layout/build/Makefile.in was better before.  I must have meant to comment on a different file.

At least we should remove the option in the configure.in, shouldn't we? There are no risks and it will prevent users to try building Gecko without SVG support.
Attached patch Remove the build option only (obsolete) — Splinter Review
This patch is only removing the build option (and keep MOZ_SVG defined and defaulted to 1) so we prevent users to build Gecko with --disable-svg because it will not work but we don't take the risk of taking a huge patch so late in the beta process.
The dead code could be removed after branching.

Remove the build option only

Hardcode MOZ_SVG=1 in autoconf.mk.in too.
Attachment #490560 - Flags: review?(khuey) → review+
Oups, I forgot to refresh the patch. I didn't meant to remove MOZ_SVG from configure.in.
In addition, I've added AC_DEFINE(MOZ_SVG) too in case of something depend on it as requested by khuey on IRC.

Benjamin, I think this patch might be much safer than the previous one: it's only removing the build option and keep MOZ_SVG set to 1. We will be able to remove the dead code after branching.
