749774 - Warnings when build hits WebIDL.py: "Token 'WHITESPACE' defined, but not used", "Symbol 'OtherOrComma' is unreachable", etc

Status: NEW

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

Description

[Daniel Holbert [:dholbert]]

Filing bug on these warnings that get printed during builds now (at least on my linux clobber builds):
WARNING: Token 'WHITESPACE' defined, but not used
WARNING: /mozilla/dom/bindings/parser/WebIDL.py:2517: Rule 'OtherOrComma' defined, but not used
WARNING: There is 1 unused token
WARNING: There is 1 unused rule
WARNING: Symbol 'OtherOrComma' is unreachable
WARNING: Symbol 'Other' is unreachable

This shows up in tinderbox logs, too, e.g. here:
 https://tbpl.mozilla.org/php/getParsedLog.php?id=11265813&tree=Firefox

These warnings all appear to refer to issues in http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/dom/bindings/parser/WebIDL.py

Marking as blocking bug 740069, since that bug added (at least some of) the lines of code in question.
