They're trivial and very hot. This reduces binary size in a 64-bit Linux opt build by 20 KiB and avoiding the calls can only help performance.

Since we no longer support binary extensions, revving an interface's IID
is not necessary for binary compatibility. However, we currently skip
relinking XPT files if a change to an interface doesn't update its IID.
This patch fixes that requirement by comparing full interfaces against
each other, so that updating an XPIDL interface without rvving its IID
works well with incremental builds.
This paves the way to remove the requirement on revving interface IIDs
when making a change to an XPIDL interface.
Nothing in mozilla-central uses the NS_APP_BOOKMARKS_50_FILE/BMarks key except
tests. It's also not been very useful since the switch to places in ... Firefox
3? so even if addons use it, it's not doing them much good.
BookmarkHTMLUtils.defaultPath returns the same thing anyways for those that
really do insist on getting the equivalent thing (but I'd argue
BookmarkHTMLUtils.defaultPath, as well as the browser.bookmarks.file pref could
just go away as well).
Seamonkey does use NS_APP_BOOKMARKS_50_FILE/BMarks, but they really only need
the #define, which they can add in their source.
Nothing apart the code that was just removed uses those keys, so remove them.
Actually, there is a use in Seamonkey, but considering they're shipping with
omnijar, the code expecting the directory has not been working as designed for
a while, so they can fixup and remove that use as well.
On win32, NS_InvokeByIndex is implemented with inline assembly. This
inline assembly assumes that it is wrapped by the compiler with the
standard x86 prologue and epilogue:
push ebp
mov ebp, esp
[inline assembly that manipulates the stack pointer]
pop ebp
ret
In particular, the last instruction of the inline assembly is:
mov esp, ebp
which cancels out the effects of the stack manipulation performed by all
the inline assembly that proceeds the instruction.
When compiling with clang-cl, however, the above assumption does not
hold, as clang-cl inserts a more complex prologue and epilogue,
something like:
push ebp
mov ebp, esp
sub esp, frame_size
[save registers into stack frame]
[inline assembly that manipulates the stack pointer]
[restore registers from stack frame]
add esp, frame_size
mov esp, ebp
pop ebp
ret
Combining this more extensive prologue and epilogue with the assumptions
of the inline assembly leads to interesting crashes when
NS_InvokeByIndex is called: the inline assembly effectively deallocates
the stack allocated by the inline assembly *and* the stack frame
allocated by the compiler itself. The compiler-generated code then
attemptes to deallocate the stack frame, leading to the crash, as the
code now returns to an unspecified address.
To avoid these sorts of problems in clang-cl and make the code more
robust generally, let's move the NS_InvokeByIndex implementation to a
separate assembly file. We can then write exactly what we need to have
happen, safe from any manipulations of the compiler.
Since we don't compile much (any?) code in Gecko with MASM, we need to
add the /SAFESEH flag to the assembler invocation so that the object
file with be appropriately marked as not containing exception handlers;
the linker (which is invoked with the /SAFESEH flag itself) will then
consent to link it into libxul.
