Status: RESOLVED INACTIVE

(Core :: XPConnect, defect)

Description

[The Written Word]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:14.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/14.0.1
Build ID: 20120717143922

Steps to reproduce:

Attempting to build firefox 10esr on solaris 9 with Sun C++ 5.9 SunOS_sparc Patch 124863-28 2011/12/14. After some patching it tries to compile dombindings.cpp



Actual results:

The build failed with:

"/opt/build/xulrunner-10.0.5/mozilla-esr10/js/xpconnect/src/dombindings_gen.cpp", line 512: Error: Cannot use {} to initialize mozilla::dom::binding::ListBase<mozilla::dom::binding::ListClass<nsINodeList, mozilla::dom::binding::Ops<mozilla::dom::binding::Getter<nsIContent*>, mozilla::dom::binding::NoOp>, mozilla::dom::binding::Ops<mozilla::dom::binding::NoOp, mozilla::dom::binding::NoOp>>>::Methods.
(and 5 similar errors)

Line 512 is:
template<>
NodeListWrapper::Methods NodeListWrapper::sProtoMethods[] = {
    { s_item_id, NodeList_Item, 1 }
};



Expected results:

Any ideas for a workaround? We know that solaris 9 and this compiler are not supported.

You could try doing non-static initialization and seeing whether that works?  Basically move all the initialization to some init function.....

Note that there's a good chance of this code being gone altogether in ESR 17.
