I have a scriptable Win32 XPCOM plugin with a method that returns a wstring. If I call this method in a script in Firefox 1.5, I get an type error that it is not a function. The method uses nsMemory::Clone to allocate the returned string. Mozilla versions up to Firefox 1.5 can call the method successfully
If I modify the method so that it only sets the string to null and returns, the script shows that the string is null. If I modify it further so that it just _mentions_ nsMemory, Firefox cannot find the function. Specifically, I add the statement "void *p = nsMemory::Clone;" According to the person who created the plugin, it is using the Gecko 1.7 SDK. I don't know what the linking strategy is; the plugin is linked with xpcom.lib and no other Gecko libraries. I have tried linking against xpcomglue.lib and xpcomglue_s.lib with no improvements. The plugin was derived from the Mozilla scriptable plugin example. I am building it with Visual Studio. I'm baffled that changing something inside a function would make it impossible to call that function, and I hope that someone can make sense of it and point me in the right direction. Thank you.
