696316 - HTML parser generator code should use mozilla::ArrayLength when possible

Status: NEW

(Core :: DOM: HTML Parser, defect, P5)

Description

[Jeff Walden [:Waldo]]

Bug 693469 implemented mozilla::ArrayLength to avoid the shortcomings and pitfalls of a macros+sizeof-based approach to computing array length, and it updated the entire codebase to use that in preference to the macro approach when possible.  (The macros are necessary due to various limitations of ISO C++, fixed in C++11.)  However, it didn't update the machine-generated parts of the HTML parser.  The Java-to-C++ translator should be updated to use mozilla::ArrayLength whenever possible.
