Hi,
Can variables defined in files in the components/ directory of a XPI conflict with
variables defined by FF/Moz/NS/Flock and/or other extension? For example, the
gQueryInterface function below as well as the CI, CC, and CR variables. My feeling it
"no", it can't, but I want to make sure.
components/MyXPCOMObject.js:
const CI = Components.interfaces, CC = Components.classes, CR =
Components.results;
<snip>
Components run in their own JS scope; there is no | window | object.
And since XUL windows actually store global variables as properties of
the | window | object, you can't conflict :)
In fact, each .js file gets its own scope; that makes JS components
nice in the sense that you no longer have to worry about conflicting
with other extensions (which is a rather annoying problem when your JS
runs in the window).
