Actually, once already_AddRefed releases its pointer on destruction, we could just add a get() method and use that when we do want to convert to T* (like when passing to a function). Certainly much shorter than explicitly constructing an nsCOMPtr<T>. _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
