75137 - Several IDL projects must be build by hand with CodeWarrior 6 on Mac OS X

Status: VERIFIED WONTFIX

(SeaMonkey :: Build Config, defect)

Description

[Andrew Thompson]

Currently the xpidl compiler is flaky when running in CodeWarrior 6 on Mac OS X. 
Even though it builds dozens of IDL projects fine, it will fail on these 
projects:

EditorIDL.mcp[editor.xpt]
XpConnectIDL.mcp[xpconnect.xpt]
msgCoreIDL[headers + mailnews.xpt]
msgComposeIDL [headers + messageCompose.xpt]

One can make these compile by going through and compiling the idl files in the 
project by hand. ie, by selecting them in small groups and doing Project->
Compile.

If you try to make the whole project, CodeWarrior "Unexpectedly Quits" with no 
other information aparent. Its not any one particular file in these projects, 
because quite often the file that's compiling when it crashes will compile fine 
if you compile them in a different order. The thing that these projects have in 
common is that they are among the largest IDL projects, then have > 10 items in 
each.

xpidl compiler is beard's work.

[Patrick C. Beard]

Please run CodeWarrior under gdb, if you can, and capture some stack crawls. Did 
you carbonize the xpidl compiler?

[Andrew Thompson]

I have no idea how to run CodeWarrior under gdb, but I'll certainly try when I 
have more time.

I "Carbonized" it in the sense that I made is compile as desribed in bug 53679 . 
If there's more to it than what's documented there then I didn't.

Can this bug be closed since we're skipping CW6 and this bug hasn't been reported 
building with CW7?
