This has actually been confusing me in reviews, since the commit-message
looks like another file in the diff. Not sure of a better way to show this
isn't going to be a file when checked in, but with the way it's shown as
part of the change set in the patch right now, it's hard to discern.
On Thu,
So, I've been kinda working toward the "more rust in gecko" goal, in my own
space that just happened to be a good sandbox for it.
Last year I was brought over to help on WebAuthn, which needs access to USB
HID for things like Yubikeys. I decided to write the lowest level cross
platform parts of th
As of Bug 792059 landing, If you're adding new WebIDL interfaces to gecko,
we will now generate constant definitions in the binding namespace of the
C++ binding headers.
For example, if you have a WebIDL interface that looks like

I took over the DOM: Device Interfaces component last month, and as part of
that was looking at the Generic Sensor APIs (and have been following this
conversation too). I've read over the spec, but that's about it so far.

This bug only includes the core DOM API code and tests, with no actual

In my experience, many tests were written pre-test-verify, and don't clean
up correctly to deal with multiple runs in the same process. They work fine
when running as a single session, but blow up in TV. Having skip-if(verify)
means that we can at least mark those tests as known broken on TV withou

+1 on the namespace idea. We started using
mozilla::dom::FooBinding::[ConstantName] namespace for constants in bug

dom::binding::Foo::[ConstantName] for consistency sake.
