jscompartment.h has a few struct members #ifdef'd on certain configure-time JIT options. These JIT flags are not passed down to XPConnect so the struct layout doesn't match. I hit this in IonMonkey and it took a while to track down:

JS_TRACE_MONITOR_FROM_CONTEXT_WITH_LAZY_INIT(JSContext *cx)

This function was seeing a NULL entry in xpc and a non-NULL entry in jstracer. How does this work for JS_TRACER then? There is a hack in xpconnect/src/Makefile.in:

> CONFIG := $(shell cat $(DEPTH)/js/src/js-confdefs.h)
> 
> ENABLE_JIT = $(filter JS_TRACER, $(CONFIG))
> ifneq (,$(ENABLE_JIT))
> 
> # Ugly! We need the AVMPLUS defines out of js/src/js-confdefs.h to make the
> # nanojit headers happy. Gotta figure out a better way to get them, bug 483677.
> DEFINES += \
>  -DJS_TRACER=1 \

This doesn't apply to all xpc files though, and there is no such hack for JS_METHODJIT, so I'm left wondering exactly which files are reading from JSCompartment and whether they just happen to be reading fields before traceMonitor/jaegerCompartment.

For IonMonkey I'm just putting ionCompartment at the bottom of the struct, but this will happen again someday so we should fix it.

Yup. I'll do this next week.

It seemed like "winning" was ultimately that jscompartment.h could be removed from INSTALLED_HEADERS in Makefile.in.

This duplication is unfortunate -- can we typedef these guys to the js::PreserveCompartment and js::SwitchToCompartment within jscompartment.h?

Why don't we need to preserve the NULL check here?

I just remembered that I was trying to remove jsgc.h from INSTALLED_HEADERS and jscompartment.h is what stopped me.  Any chance jsgc.h can go too with this patch?  (Maybe we should just roll the dice again :)
Mission creep!

And do keep rolling those dice, please, whenever a pain point gets hit.

I was trying to make a real API layer. Those classes have inline members that require including jscntxt.h.

I considered deleting the inline versions, but AtomizeInline uses SwitchToCompartment.

I don't think we can have both versions for less code than this.

Oh. Took me a minute to figure out what you meant because Splinter helpfully omitted the - line, but yes, we probably do need it. Added it back.

I took a look, and jsgc.h can't be un-INSTALLED until jscntxt.h is. That'll be a really annoying job, as jscntxt.h is included from literally dozens of files all through dom/, content/, and jetpack/. But I would happily roll the dice again for it.

Mmmm, jscntxt.h; there be the real dragon to slay.  I guess that'll entail adding real auto-rooters to jsapi.h, something we've needed to do for a long time.  I'll roll.

I'm definitely in for that one.

I haven't forgotten about this. I keep bouncing it off the try server and there is always something horribly wrong. The latest thing is that the browser always crashes under JSObject::makeLazyType.

The writes to cx->compartment need to be wrapped with cx->setCompartment, which maintains inference-enabled state for the cx.  cx->compartment should I think have accessor functions, or at least have a consistency assertion in JSContext::typeInferenceEnabled (sorry).
Can we just make cx->compartment private?

backed out Bug 677957 and Bug 672893 since one of these caused Android mochitest 5 permaorange in test_jQuery.html and I couldn't identify the culprit at first glance.

I refreshed this patch and asked the Try Server to run it on Android:
  https://tbpl.mozilla.org/?tree=Try&usebuildbot=1&rev=4266f14667c3

8 orange, 3 purple. Android always looks like that to me though. I found no evidence test_jQuery.html failed, but who knows what this means. I asked what to do about this in #developers. No response. Currently asking around pretty much at random to see what I should do about this.
I usually rebuild individual failing tests on Android if I'm nervous.  Though I have had a Talos test fail 3 times in a row, so that may not always be helpful.
It looks like test_jQuery passed on try, so why not reland? The perma-orange may have been caused by bug 677957. I guess you could push that bug to try for extra assurance (that it fails), but it seems unnecessary.
