744444 - delete CPP_PROG_LINK, purify/quantify targets

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox Build System :: General, defect)

Description

[Nathan Froyd [:froydnj]]

Bug 743988 deleted two major users of CPP_PROG_LINK; the remaining ones are the purify and quantify targets.  I'm guessing those are not used much in this day and age, so they can be nuked.

Attachment: delete purify target

Let's do this in pieces.  We'll start by deleting the purify target.

bsmedberg, I see pure.h and pure_api.c in xpcom/base/; should those be deleted along with this support?

Attachment: delete quantify target and related support

The quantify support is a little more extensive, but nothing that complex.

Attachment: delete CPP_PROG_LINK

Remove scattered usages of CPP_PROG_LINK and its setting from rules.mk.

A bunch of places were forcing CPP_PROG_LINK to be on; maybe those should get removed even if the rest of the patches don't go in.

Committed with small tweaks to js/src/config/config.mk; local builds didn't pick up the bug, but try ones did.
