761729 - Either implement mozIDOMApplicationEvent in C++, or make WebApps use CustomEvent

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

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

Description

[Olli Pettay [:smaug][[e-mail]]]

http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/dom/apps/src/Webapps.js#399

DOMEvents will be forced to be C++ only. Right now properly implemented DOM Events
are already C++ only, but apparently there is at least one JS implementation too
(which doesn't work at all with event dispatching code).

I had to refactor the IDL to move the Application object definition in its own file since it is use in the dictionnary, hence the include change to nsGlobalWindow.h

Nit, extra space before :

Not about this bug, but huh. Why do we expose nsIArray to web. We really shouldn't do that.


But I don't understand why you need to move Application interface.

Yep, I plan to move that to a jsval.

since the dictionnary is :
{
 mozIDOMApplication application;
}

and mozIDOMApplication is not a built-in type, the code generator that uses dictionary_helper_gen.conf looks for a "mozIDOMApplication.h" header file.

Couldn't you add mozIDOMApplication to exclude_automatic_type_include
and perhaps nsIDOMApplicationRegistry.h to special_includes

...in dictionary_helper_gen.conf

I didn't know about these. I'll update my patch, thanks!

Nit, mozIDOMApplication **aApplication

Almost missed... you have strong pointer to Application, so you need to add it to
cycle collection. (You can check nsDOMCustomEvent as an example. It has mDetail as a strong member variable.)

Now with cycle collection for mApplication.
