My stack from bug 872416 has evolved some, so I'm going to close that bug and ask for new reviews here. Fortunately the patches are still pretty trivial.

I really have to move on to other stuff, so I'm going to finish this one stack of patches and leave the rest to njn.

Generally speaking, if you're nervous about the direction this is going (adding more -inl headers) you're not alone.

The reason for adding them, of course, is to remove dependencies from the non-inl headers, which aren't supposed to depend on -inl headers.

But note that at least Probes-inl.h and Debugger-inl.h are never included by other headers, only by .cpp files. So they don't make the knot any worse.

Basically just the patch in attachment 755733 [details] [diff] [review]. njn already reviewed it there and I've changed it a little but not significantly, so carrying over review.

part 2 - Move JSObject::asModule to jsobjinlines.h, v1

-----------------------------------------------------------------

In general I'm finding that moving things out of -inl.h files (either to .h or .cpp files) is virtuous for untangling the dependencies.  (And jsobjinlines.h is a real hotspot in the dependency graph that needs to be simplified.)

But I also understand that sometimes you've just gotta follow things all the way down the rabbit hole in order to satisfy a broader goal, so I'll trust you on this one.

I've been working on some changes to reduce the number of files that #include jsobjinlines.h and I moved this function into vm/ObjectImpl-inl.h too.  That's a good sign.

I think that's enough for one bug.

This leaves a great many #include cycles in the codebase:

js/src/jsobjinlines.h
 -> js/src/jsfuninlines.h
     -> js/src/vm/ScopeObject-inl.h
         -> js/src/jsinferinlines.h
             -> js/src/vm/Stack-inl.h
                 -> js/src/ion/BaselineFrame-inl.h
                     -> js/src/vm/ScopeObject-inl.h
                 -> js/src/jsscriptinlines.h
                     -> js/src/vm/Shape-inl.h
                         -> js/src/jsobjinlines.h
                         -> js/src/vm/ScopeObject-inl.h
                 -> js/src/vm/ArgumentsObject-inl.h
                     -> js/src/vm/ScopeObject-inl.h
                 -> js/src/vm/ScopeObject-inl.h
         -> js/src/jsobjinlines.h
         -> js/src/jsscriptinlines.h
     -> js/src/vm/String-inl.h
         -> js/src/jsobjinlines.h
 -> js/src/jsinferinlines.h
 -> js/src/gc/Barrier-inl.h
     -> js/src/vm/String-inl.h
 -> js/src/vm/Shape-inl.h
 -> js/src/vm/String-inl.h

js/src/ion/LIR.h
 -> js/src/ion/x86/LIR-x86.h
     -> js/src/ion/LIR.h
 -> js/src/ion/x64/LIR-x64.h
     -> js/src/ion/LIR.h
 -> js/src/ion/arm/LIR-arm.h
     -> js/src/ion/LIR.h

Some obvious things we can do:

  - Move all class definitions from -inl headers to non-inl headers.
  - Move all forward declarations of classes and templates to jsprvtd.h.
  - Maybe bug 880041.

By the way: making vm/String-inl.h not include jsobjinlines.h would be a nice little win. It would break three cycles, and it *ought* to be easy -- nothing in String-inl.h actually directly uses anything defined in jsobjinlines.h! But actually removing that #include alone introduces a ton of GCC warnings and I think a compiler/linker error or two, because #include.

There should be a blank line between the jsfoo.h headers and the foo/Bar.h headers.

I'd be inclined to #include "Probes.h" here, and then #include "Probes-inl.h" in the usual spot near the bottom.  Also, can you make it "vm/Probes{.h,-inl.h}"?

Good -- I agree that omitting the directory names is confusing, and I want to move away from it, preferably by modifying the build parameters such that you can't omit them.  In the meantime, this is progress.

We seem to be very inconsistent about guarding Ion #includes.  Do you think we should not bother?  Perhaps this change should be saved for a follow-up that applies a new rule consistently.

My in-progress patch that I mentioned in bug 880041 does this.  Your script tells me I've split the first clump into two:

js/src/gc/Barrier-inl.h
 -> js/src/vm/String-inl.h
     -> js/src/gc/Barrier-inl.h

js/src/jsobjinlines.h
 -> js/src/jsscriptinlines.h
     -> js/src/vm/Shape-inl.h
         -> js/src/vm/Shape-inl.h
         -> js/src/vm/ScopeObject-inl.h
             -> js/src/jsinferinlines.h
                 -> js/src/vm/Stack-inl.h
                     -> js/src/ion/BaselineFrame-inl.h
                         -> js/src/vm/ScopeObject-inl.h
                     -> js/src/jsscriptinlines.h
                     -> js/src/vm/ArgumentsObject-inl.h
                         -> js/src/vm/ScopeObject-inl.h
                     -> js/src/vm/ScopeObject-inl.h
             -> js/src/jsscriptinlines.h
             -> js/src/jsobjinlines.h
 -> js/src/jsinferinlines.h
 -> js/src/jsfuninlines.h
     -> js/src/vm/ScopeObject-inl.h
 -> js/src/vm/Shape-inl.h
BTW, I see your try run only included debug builds.  Please include opt builds as well!  I've frequently had opt-only breakage when working on #includes.
There was actually an opt-only failure, because a debug-only try run doesn't try to build with --disable-ion.

Fixed, trying again:

https://tbpl.mozilla.org/?tree=Try&rev=e7347b77dcb7
...by adding !defined(JS_ION) guard to all ion headers that are included from outside ion... except for ion/AsmJS.h and maybe one or two others where if you do that, something breaks.
