[CC mobile-firefox-dev and dev-fxos for notes below.]Bug 1246743 (Mac libc++ support) and bug 1273934 (Android libc++ support for local development builds) have landed on mozilla-central. This change means that all of our Tier-1 platforms now have a more-or-less conformant C++11 standard library. We can therefore begin removing a decent amount of code that we required to support pre-C++11 standard libraries and use standard facilities instead. You are still strongly encouraged to use Gecko-specific data structures (nsTArray ns{C,}String, etc.) in preference to the standard library ones, unless you need to interface with a third-party library. Given the standard library's pervasive use of exceptions, and our aversion to the same, if you are using a standard library header that's not listed here: http://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/config/stl-headers you need to ask for review to get that header added to the list, per policy in that file. This change also means that any non-Tier-1 platforms (FxOS, for instance) that don't provide a C++11 standard library will probably break in very short order as various code is removed from the tree. Developers who work on the C++ side of Firefox for Android are strongly encouraged to upgrade to an r11 NDK; the r10 NDK should work, but test results in the presence of crashes might be slightly wonky. Enjoy! -Nathan
Do we have any automation that prevents using headers that aren't in the list?
