Hi, I'm currently not developing anything for use with firefox, however, I am very interested in the inner workings of firefox. In particular, I am wondering how the "low-level" I/O works in XPCOM. For example there are several different directories defined in xpcom/io/nsAppDirectoryServiceDefs.h, but there are no native paths defined I'm guessing that they are defined at compile-time as much as possible, but I don't see where. Also, is it possible to change the native paths that the definitions point to? In addition, I've been looking through the source for quite some time, but it always seems to get stuck when I want to know what an IDL file does. I can see the headers generated by xpidl, but I want to know how the interface does things, not just what goes into and comes out of the interface. Is this possible? Sorry if my questions seem some-what dumb, but I'm relativly new to the firefox code and in particular xpcom and idl.
Thanks for the help/advice --jMP _______________________________________________ Mozilla-xpcom mailing list [email protected] http://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/mozilla-xpcom
