patch v1.1

Please actually test that:
  T* t = do_QueryFrame(f); 
fails if T isn't *itself* a queryframe target?  (It looks like we
have the necessary static_asserts in nsQueryFrame.h)

Yes the static_assert fires, which is how I found I needed to add the couple of queryframe targets in the patch.

Backed out in https://hg.mozilla.org/integration/mozilla-inbound/rev/334a63e35b74 since bug 960848 got backed out.

Comment 6

[Timothy Nikkel (:tnikkel)]

This is great! It'd be even greater to use this in frame tree dumps (nsIFrame::List)!

Comment 7

[Cameron McCormack (:heycam)]

We could do that although it will make the line lengths even longer.  At the moment, with a modest frame depth, I can maximise my terminal and not get (many) line wraps when I dump a frame tree.

Comment 8

[Timothy Nikkel (:tnikkel)]

I had given up on making frame tree dumps not wrap, so more information was only a plus for me.

tn, can you file a separate bug for sticking this in nsIFrame::List?

After I mentioned that I realized that it's not very often I need to look at frame state lately, so if it interferes with others' workflows then I don't feel strongly about it.
