With these substitutions, it is possible to have comm-central's versions of
these files merely include the mozilla-central versions and avoid having to port
small changes to these files.
win_srcdir is used as the Windows path for the srcdir, and so it needs to use
comm-central's topsrcdir to work properly. In contrast, WIN_TOP_SRC is really
only used to define BUILD_TOOLS, which refers to files in mozilla-central/build,
and so that can and should remain the mozilla-central topsrcdir.
This used to be necessary to avoid the conflicting names between import
libraries and static libraries, but that's now prevented by the whole
moz.build machinery.
There are, sadly, many combinations of linkage in use throughout the tree.
The main differentiator, though, is between program/libraries related to
Gecko or not. Kind of. Some need mozglue, some don't. Some need dependent
linkage, some standalone.
Anyways, these new templates remove the need to manually define the
right dependencies against xpcomglue, nspr, mozalloc and mozglue
in most cases.
Places that build programs and were resetting MOZ_GLUE_PROGRAM_LDFLAGS
or that build libraries and were resetting MOZ_GLUE_LDFLAGS can now
just not use those Gecko-specific templates.
Since essentially everything is linked to libmozglue and libmozglue takes
precedence in symbol resolution in our dynamic linker, there is no need
to wrap most symbols. PR_GetEnv/PR_SetEnv still needs wrapping because
there's no other way to actually wrap the calls from NSPR itself and NSS,
as well as the symbols wrapped because our dynamic linker can't find them
in system libraries on some devices because they're weak.
As a first step, this moves PYTHON_UNIT_TESTS to moz.build as a passthru
variable. In the future, we could hook it up to |mach test|.
The __init__.py files may not need to be in the list, but I don't want to
change the list here.
OS_LIBS for libraries that are not part of the gecko tree, EXTRA_LIBS for
libraries, such as NSPR, that are in the tree, but are not handled by
moz.build just yet. Those EXTRA_LIBS may also come from a system library.
However, in cases where the expanded variables are always empty for the
in-tree case, OS_LIBS is used (as for, e.g. MOZ_ZLIB_LIBS). OS_LDFLAGS is
used exclusively for non-library linker flags.
Always pass EXTRA_LIBS before OS_LIBS on linker command lines.
Forbid EXTRA_DSO_LDOPTS, SHARED_LIBRARY_LIBS and LIBS in Makefiles.
