Externally (outside of xpcom/string) there will be no discernible change but I *could* move everything to the mozilla namespace and drop the 'ns' prefix. We could then gradually migrate to the new naming scheme externally. I think we'd eventually want to move the include path to 'mozilla/String.h' as well if we went this route, in the interim we could just have stubs that redirect to the mozilla path. I'm not sure how much backing that has -- we'd be going from nsString => String which is pretty close to std::string -- it would be interesting to get some feedback. -e _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
