Hello everybody,
We have had a long history of using NSPR types such as PRInt32
everywhere on mozilla-central. This is no longer necessary as we have
decent support for stdint types in mozilla/StandardInteger.h. I have a
series of patches up for review on bug 579517 which switch us away from
NSPR types everywhere on mozilla-central except for NSPR itself and NSS.
The full list of things that I am replacing is at the bottom of this
email.
I am planning to land this patch as soon as possible after it gets
reviewed. The landing process will look like this. I will close
mozilla-inbound, land on mozilla-central, merge central into inbound and
deal with all of the merge conflicts, and then reopen mozilla-inbound.
This should not take more that 10-15 minutes, so it probably will not
affect you. This will however bitrot most of your patches, so I have
put together a script here
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=650572> which helps you
unbitrot them. This script handles mq patches, and needs to be run in
the top mozilla-central directory, and it creates a backup of your mq
patches in case something goes wrong.
Please let me know if you have questions or concerns.
Cheers,
Ehsan
