Hi All,
I am developing a XPCOM component which will be embedded to firefox.
Mainly I used nsString in my code and the functions I used are
AppendWithConversion , AssignWithConversion ..etc.
As there is more changes with respect to string in recent Firefox
(Firefox 1.5) I need to change my implementation. As I used other
Unfrozen interfaces apart from string in my code, which uses internal
nsString classes, I need to define MOZILLA_INTERNAL_API.
That's not necessarily true. If you're only using nonfrozen *interfaces* you
don't need to define MOZILLA_INTERNAL_API... that define only affects
*symbol linkage*.
For what it's worth, it is almost never right to use the *WithConversion
methods: they hardly ever handle character sets correctly. If you're
converting from UTF8 to UTF16 use NS_ConvertUTF8toUTF16 and vice-versa.
I tried string manipulation in a sample component with
MOZILLA_INTERNAL_API defined. I just declared nsString in a function,
which causes firefox crash at runtime.
Can anybody clear me why this crash happens ?
What libs are you linking against?
