I was just going to write and propose something in this direction. My hope is that this could do things like enable us to at compile-time enumerate the list of members and their types, and use that to generate cycle collector functions. As well as cause build-time failures if a cycle collected object contains any members which we don't know how to traverse/unlink. Similarly, by enumerating the list of base classes we could generate the code for QueryInterface. Automatic generation of serialization/deserialization code for IPC is another potential candidate. / Jonas _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
