772822 - We should have a way to detect nameless special operations in IDLMethod

Status: NEW

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

Description

[Peter Van der Beken [:peterv]]

Right now we detect them by checking |method.identifier.name[:2] == "__"|, which seem rather hacky.

Comment 1

[Jason Orendorff [:jorendorff]]

This seems to have been fixed, but the FIXME comment is still in the code.

dom/bindings/Codegen.py:
        # FIXME https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=772822
        #       We should be able to check for special operations without an
        #       identifier. For now we check if the name starts with __

Comment 2

[Peter Van der Beken [:peterv]]

This wasn't fixed, but the comment is not next to the check anymore :-/. isIdentifierLess() does |return self.identifier.name[:2] == "__"|/
