PSA: Unsafe CPOWs are no longer permitted in mochitests

For the last few years, mochitests have run in special extension scopes, which did things like interpose them with e10s shims and allow them to use unsafe CPOWs. As of today, those extension scopes no longer exist, and neither the mochitest harness nor the tests it runs have access to unsafe CP

Blockers for GCC 6?

I have a bug to track updating our requirement to GCC 6: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1444274 Are there any other dependents that require GCC 4.9 still? ___ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.or

nsGkAtoms.h has moved

Hi, I just landed bug 1445142, which moves dom/base/nsGkAtoms.h to xpcom/ds/nsGkAtoms.h. The reason for this move: - These atoms aren't really DOM-specific. - The move to xpcom/ means they can be registered immediately after the atom table is created, instead of waiting until nsLayoutStatics::I

The SDK requirement is due to some nonstandard code in the latest Microsoft headers that clang rejects: https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/content/problem/132223/clang-cant-compile-wrlimplementsh.html For now the easiest way forward is to go into Visual Studio Installer, add "Windows 10 S

PSA: Default log format changed for testing commands

You should notice a new colourized log format when running tests with |mach test| or |mach mochitest|. If you want to revert to the old log format you can add: [test] format=tbpl to your ~/.mozbuild/machrc. If you have any feedback or issues with the new format, please chime in to bug 1445624

It sounds cool and I'd really love to try, but: "ERROR: Found SDK version 10.0.16299.0 but clang-cl builds currently don't work with SDK version 10.0.16299.0 and later..." I know that I can set WINDOWSSDKDIR, but I'm not willing to mess too much with the env. Is there a bug tracking the update to

WorkerRef classes

Hi all, I want to introduce a new way to deal with Web Workers that makes their lifetime management easier to understand and to use. In bug 1436784 I implemented a ref-counting approach for Web Workers. This is meant to replace WorkerHolder and WorkerPrivate raw pointers. If you want to play wit

Do we still need the C++ portability guide distinct from "Using C++" doc?

Is it still useful that https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/C%2B%2B_Portability_Guide exists as a document that's separate from https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Using_CXX_in_Mozilla_code ? There is some duplication. When the two disagree, the latter seems to be right. T
