Changes:
* Added EXTRA_COMPONENTS variable to build. Use it to automagically install files into the components dir.
* Added SYSINSTALL variable. Use it install files onto the system.
* Move mozilla-config generation from configure to makefiles
* mozilla-config will now generate paths based upon the MRE-based directory layout.
* Generate mozilla script from template
The installation heirarchy currently looks like:
$prefix -> /bin/mozilla
/bin/mozilla-config
/include/mozilla-ver/*
/lib/mozilla-ver (mozappdir)
/components
/res
/defaults
/chrome
There is preliminary build support for MRE dirs as well though the component manager hasn't had MRE support added yet.
$prefix -> /lib/mre/mre-ver (mredir)
/components
nsIComponentRegistrar.
2. Converts callers of nsComponentManager::AutoRegister to use
nsIComponentRegistrar's autoRegistrar method.
3. Add nsIComponentRegistrar implmentation to nsComponentManagerImpl.
4. Rearrange nsComponentManager.cpp so that related methods are in the same
place.
5. Added a C-style function NS_GetComponentRegistrar so that getting the
registrar is easier in some places.
6. Added a nsISimpleEnumerator interface on PLDHashTableEnumeratorImpl. in
this way, the same base class can support both old style and new style
enumerations.
7. Fixed a nasty bug where unregistring factories will leave the contract id
hash with a dangling pointer. Now, when unregister is called we search the
contract id hash for entries which have the given doomned cid and remove them.
Bug 115853. r=dp@netscape.com, sr=rpotts@netscape.com
a) create a new nsIComponentManager with only four functions on it:
CreateInstance CreateInstanceByContractID GetClassInfo GetClassInfoByContractID.
b) rename the old nsIComponentManager to nsIComponentManagerObsolete.
c) fixes callers which use to access the nsIComponentManager for component
registration functionality. These callers will temporary use the
nsIComponentManagerObsolete interface.
d) Create a new API NS_GetComponentManager() which mirrors the
NS_GetServiceManager()
e) Perserves the old NS_GetGlobalComponentManager(). Note the cast usage.

- teach nsGenericFactory about nsIClassInfo, and nsIClassInfo.idl to the
builds
- add a heaping serving of macro love for classes that want to support it
- convert many modules to use nsGenericModule the new way
- handful of warning and modeline fixes
- nsSample and some XPConnect test classes now have nsIClassInfo support for
testing
interfaces. Since the C++ generated code upper-cases the method names, this
affects no C++ code, but only a few javascript methods.
Bug 46771.
r=waterson.
I am in today and tomorrow.
- moves CID/ProgID into header file
- adds more calls to enablePrivilege
- renames "write" callback to something that works as intended
a=brendan@mozilla.orgr=scc@netscape.com
- Update progid mentioned in the .html file to that actually used in the code.
- Remove outdated nsSampleFactory.cpp so nobody gets confused, but add note to nsSampleModule.cpp in its memory, as it had extensive comments.
Added big note saying 'please disable security before trying to run
this' so nobody gets frustrated.
Updated sample component progid reference to actually match the .cpp.
Now the page actually works! (John Morrison
<3jrgm@qlink.queensu.ca> caught this in mozilla.xpcom)
Thanks to Rick Bradley <roundeye@bellsouth.net> for pointing me to the
problem, and for encouraging me to add a note.
r=mccabe. Not part of the build.
later in the autoreg cycle.
- teach native component loader about deferred components
- add nsIComponentLoader::registerDeferredComponents
- teach component manager about deferred components
- made nsID::Parse take a |const char *| instead of a simple |char *|.
- move release of XPTI singletons until _after_ shutting down the component
manager to prevent re-initialization during JS component shutdown.
- category manager work: really delete from reg, start on enumeration
- use nsXPIDLCString instead of autoStringFree.
- fix nsRegistry to use allocator properly.
- cleaner memory management in nsFactoryEntry.
- capitalization fixed in nsIComponentLoader.idl
- clean up loader creation logic
- remove/disable lots of DEBUG_shaver noise
- added (disabled) warning about NSGetFactory usage
- move .so and .shlb higher up in the ValidDllExtensions list to marginally
speed up registration.
- added nsDll::GetRegistryLocation API
- properly export nsSupportsArray.h
- capitalization fixes in nsIEnumerator.idl
- added deferral to nsSample.js
As this changed the generated interface signatures, I had to change all of the uses to avoid bustage. Any corners of the browser that aren't built by default, or that I haven't discovered how to build, may be at risk of bustage if they use string or wstring attributes. (This could mean blackwood; sorry, guys!)
Many thanks to Alec Flett (alecf@netscape.com) for preparing diffs for the mailnews portion of the signature changes; thanks also to Ariel Backenroth (arielb@rice.edu) and Mike Shaver (shaver@mozilla.org) for help with updating the tree with NS_DECL_NSIFOO macros; everwhere where one of these macros was used was one less place I had to manually add 'const'.
Also removed extraneous space from generated method signatures, leftover from Brendan's capitalization spam, and made 'const decl must be of type short or long' an error rather than just a warning.
