Summary:
This patch ports xptcodegen.py over to the new perfecthash.py system, removing
some special-case code generators, and taking advantage of the easier-to-use
interface.
In addition, the code was changed to take advantage of the endianness
information from Part 2, allowing us to avoid having to perform endianness swaps
at runtime when hashing nsIDs.

The build system knows at build-backend time where to find each IDL
file; making xpidl-process.py rediscover this by requiring
xpidl-process.py to search through directories to find input IDL files
is silly. To rememdy this, we're going to modify things so full paths
are passed into the script. Those paths can then be used directly, with
no searching.
The tail end of the xpidl Makefile.in contains a line, generated for
every xpt file:
$(1): $(addsuffix .idl,$(addprefix $(dist_idl_dir)/,$($(basename $(notdir $(1)))_deps)))
This line, in context, is saying that the xpt file depends on all of its
input IDL files. But xpidl-process.py already generates this
information when we pass it --depsdir, which we do. So this code is
redundant with what we already generate, and it can be removed.
The previous patch required us to pass a single -I argument pointing at
$(DIST)/idl so IDL include statements would work correctly. This patch
lifts that limitation and explicitly points xpidl-process.py at the
locations of all the IDL source directories to search for included IDL
files. Invocations of xpidl-process.py no longer depend on IDL files
being copied to the objdir.
Building on the last patch, we can change the build process to pass in
the directories where the input IDL files can be found. It is
convenient to pass in just the relative source directory paths, to
encourage people to not look in the object directory and to make the
command lines slightly shorter.
xpidl-process.py still assumes that included IDL files can be found by
looking in a single directory. We add a single -I argument to the
invocation of xpidl-process.py to accommodate this short-sightedness.
The current IDL build setup assumes that all IDL files can be found in a
single directory. This setup requires that all IDL files be copied to a
single directory, which is suboptimal in terms of disk I/O and also
complicates things like generating IDL files at build time.
As a first step in moving away from this state of affairs,
xpidl-process.py needs to be taught that the input IDL files could
potentially be found in multiple directories. The current setup can
just specify $(DIST)/idl as the lone directory to examine. Future
patches will change this to examine multiple directories.
This patch contains the meat of the changes here. The following summarize the changes:
1. xptinfo.h is rewritten to expose the new interface for reading the XPT data,
The nsXPTInterfaceInfo object exposes methods with the same signatures as
the methods on nsIInterfaceInfo, to make converting code which used
nsIInterfaceInfo as easy as possible, even when those methods don't have
signatures which make a ton of sense anymore. There are also a few methods
which are unnecessary (they return `true` or similar), which should be
removed over time.
Members of the data structures are made private in order to prevent reading
them directly. Code should instead call the getter methods. This should make
it easier to change their memory representation in the future. Constructing
these structs is made possible by making the structs `friend class` with the
XPTConstruct class, which is implemented by the code generator, and is able
to access the private fields.
In addition, rather than using integers with flag constants, I opted for
using C++ bitfields to store individual flags, as I found it made it easier
to both write the code generator, and reason about the layouts of the types.
I was able to shave a byte off of each nsXPTParamInfo (4 bytes -> 3 bytes)
by shoving the flags into spare bits in the nsXPTType. Unfortunately there
was not enough room for the retval flag. Fortunately, we already depend in
our code on the retval parameter being the last parameter, so I worked
around this by removing the retval flag and instead having a `hasretval`
flag on the method itself.
2. An xptinfo.cpp file is added for out-of-line definitions of more complex
methods, and the internal implementation details of the perfect hash.
Notable is the handling of xptshim interfaces. As the type is uniform, a
flag is checked when trying to read constant information, and a different
table with pointers into webidl data structures is checked when the type is
determined to be a shim.
Ideally we could remove this once we remove the remaining consumers of the
existing shim interfaces.
3. A python code generator which takes in the json XPT files generated in the
previous part, and emits a xptdata.cpp file with the data structures. I did
my best to heavily comment the code.
This code uses the friend class trick to construct the private fields of the
structs, and avoid a dependency on the ordering of fields in xptinfo.h.
The sInterfaces array's order is determined by a generated perfect hash
which is also written into the binary. This should allow for fast lookups by
IID or name of interfaces in memory. The hash function used for the perfect
hash is a simple FNV hash, as they're pretty fast.
For perfect hashing of names, another table is created which contains
indexes into the sInterfaces table. Lookup by name is less common, and this
form of lookup should still be very fast.
4. The necessary Makefiles are updated to use the new code generator, and
generate the file correctly.
This patch handles the actual generation of the static data structures
used to represent XPT information. XPT files are generated in the same
way as they are now, but they are used only as an intermediate
representation to speed up incremental compilation rather than
something used by Firefox itself. Instead of linking XPTs into a
single big XPT file at packaging time, they are linked into a single
big C++ file at build time, that defines the various static consts in
XPTHeader.
In xpt.py, every data structure that can get written to disk gets an
additional code_gen() method that returns a representation of that
data structure as C++ source code. CodeGenData aggregates this
information together, handling deduplication and the final source code
generation.
The ctors are needed for XPTConstValue to statically initialize the
different union cases without resorting to designated initializers,
which are part of C99, not C++. Designated initializers appear to be
supported in C++ code by Clang and GCC, but not MSVC. The ctors must
be constexpr to ensure they are actually statically initialized so
they can be shared between Firefox processes.
I also removed an unnecessary "union" in XPTConstDescriptor.
Together, these patches reduce the amount of memory reported by
xpti-working-set from about 860,000 bytes to about 200,000 bytes. The
remaining memory is used for xptiInterface and xptiTypelibGuts (which
are thin wrappers around the XPT interfaces and header) and hash
tables to speed up looking up interfaces by name or IID. That could
potentially be eliminated from dynamic allocations in follow up
work. These patches did not affect memory reporting because XPT arenas
are still used by the remaining XPTI data structures.

Now that XPT files are not loaded from files at runtime, code for
packaging XPT files can be removed.
This means that a couple of test XPIDL interfaces will get shipped in
builds to users that weren't before, but I don't think that matters
much.
This also puts XPT files into the local objdir for the XPIDL makefile,
instead of dist/bin, because they are no longer part of the
distribution.

Historically we built all our binaries in directories in the objdir, then
symlinked them into dist/bin. Some binaries needed to be copied instead
so that certain relative path lookups work properly, so we resorted to
sprinkling `NSDISTMODE=copy` around Makefiles.
This change makes it so we build PROGRAMs (not any other sort of targets)
directly in dist/bin instead. We could do the same for our other targets
with a little more work.
There were several places in the tree that were copying built binaries to
some other place and needed fixup to match the new location of binaries.
On Windows pdb files are left in the objdir where the program was
originally linked. symbolstore.py needs to locate the pdb file both to
determine whether it should dump symbols for a binary and also to copy
the pdb file into the symbol package. We fix this by simply looking for
the pdb file in the current working directory if it isn't present next
to the binary, which matches how we invoke symbolstore.py.

Final target Rust programs are currently not picked up and
symlinked/copied to ${objdir}/dist/bin because the RUST_PROGRAMS output
variable is missing from the if-condition.
This change causes Rust binaries from RUST_PROGRAMS to be placed alongside
the other final target programs.

rustc generates .lib files for its libraries when compiling for Windows
(even using MinGW on Linux). But MinGW expects .a files. So we add in
rust-specific prefix and suffixes so MinGW builds can find the libs that
rustc generates. (And the RUST_LIB- variables default to the same vales
as the LIB_ variables otherwise.)

By using $(REPORT_BUILD) instead of just echoing the filename, there is
no change during a regular build without REBUILD_CHECK, but specifying
REBUILD_CHECK in the environment will show which files triggered an .xpt
to rebuild. This is helpful in debugging why these files may be built
unnecessarily.

The only complicating factor here is having to split out the --target
flag from cargo_build_flags, so we can pass the appropriate one
depending on our build target.
This removes the unnecessary setting of c-basic-offset from all
python-mode files.
This was automatically generated using
perl -pi -e 's/; *c-basic-offset: *[0-9]+//'
... on the affected files.
The bulk of these files are moz.build files but there a few others as
well.

The behavior is not entirely idempotent (most notably for
buildconfig.html), but this can be improved later if necessary.
It is idempotent where it matters.
This allows to get rid of config/makefiles/rcs.mk and its uses.
This might seem like going in the opposite direction of what we tend to do
to move to moz.build land, but those flags are irrelevant in many situations
and are better separated out.
This new ChromeManifestEntry object type is generic and can hold any kind of
chrome manifest entry, but we currently only emit them for binary components.
References to sub-directory manifests is left to the backend, for now, until
all manifest entries are emitted by the frontend.
The configure option has explicitly thrown an error for more than a year now,
and it happens that the remaining way to still forcefully use it has been
broken for more than 8 months.
This commit is us getting out of our own way. We were specifying
-classpath twice, once in $(JAVAC) and once in java-build.mk. Only
the latter of these is active. This a problem for ANDROID_EXTRA_JARS
-- those JARs should be on the classpath and input to $(DX) -- and
JARs that should be on the classpath but *not* input to $(DX). This
commit removes the global flags to $(JAVAC) and adds
JAVA_{BOOT}CLASSPATH_JARS. This required some hijinkery moving
wildcards to moz.build files, but everything seems to work.
As well as clarifying some parts of the build, part 2 uses this work
to modify the classpath.

This paves the way for defining additional Android packages in
moz.build, which is a step toward moving the special
mobile/android/base/Makefile.in aapt invocations into the generic
java-build.mk framework.
The new variables are both passthru variables for now: in the future,
we'll roll them into some aggregate Android APK definition.
It's worth noting that references to the variables in Makefile.in
files are only defined after including rules.mk (and thereby
backend.mk). This only required a few changes in the tree but it
confused me for some time.

We have had singular ANDROID_ASSETS_DIR in Makefile.in for a while.
Fennec itself does not use the existing Makefile.in Android code, for
complicated historical reasons.
This makes the existing variable moz.build-only; generalizes the
existing variable to an ordered list; and adds the equivalent use of
the new list to the Fennec build, with a simple example asset.
This patch also updates the packager to include assets packed into the
gecko.ap_. Without the packager change, the assets/ directory in the
ap_ gets left out of the final apk. This whole approach is totally
non-standard but is more or less required to support our single-locale
repack scheme.
