Summary: Really sorry for the size of the patch. It's mostly automatic s/nsIDocument/Document/ but I had to fix up in a bunch of places manually to add the right namespacing and such. Overall it's not a very interesting patch I think. nsDocument.cpp turns into Document.cpp, nsIDocument.h into Document.h and nsIDocumentInlines.h into DocumentInlines.h. I also changed a bunch of nsCOMPtr usage to RefPtr, but not all of it. While fixing up some of the bits I also removed some unneeded OwnerDoc() null checks and such, but I didn't do anything riskier than that.
Getting started
- Learn where the code is and about the architecture of the tools.
- Set up your machine to build the tools, then configure a development profile.
- You can now experiment by changing things and rebuilding, look at the files and directories overview or you could also find something to work on.
Additional documentation
- MDN Web Docs (also known as MDN) has a lot of information about XUL elements, HTML, JS, DOM, Web APIs, Gecko-specific APIs, and more.
- DXR is a source code search engine - search for symbols you want to learn about, eg.
Document. Searchfox is an alternative.
It is a good idea to add smart keyword searches for DXR and MDN, so you can search faster.
