774004 - Generate IPDL_DECL_PFoo macros for actors

Status: NEW

(Core :: IPC, defect, P3)

One of the unpleasant things about changing .ipdl's is having to update C++ decls.  This is especially bad when changing ctor message decls.  I'm also getting sick and tired of dealing with mismatched style and out-of-order and public decls,

So I think we should generate decls macros like we do for .idl's.  It's trivial to do; in fact we already generate this, in an #ifdef.

This is going to be a tremendous amount of code churn so I'll hold off until after m4.

Do we have consensus from the IPC peers?

Sounds good to me!

I'm not currently working on this, but it would oh-so-sweet for it to happen.
