As this changed the generated interface signatures, I had to change all of the uses to avoid bustage. Any corners of the browser that aren't built by default, or that I haven't discovered how to build, may be at risk of bustage if they use string or wstring attributes. (This could mean blackwood; sorry, guys!)
Many thanks to Alec Flett (alecf@netscape.com) for preparing diffs for the mailnews portion of the signature changes; thanks also to Ariel Backenroth (arielb@rice.edu) and Mike Shaver (shaver@mozilla.org) for help with updating the tree with NS_DECL_NSIFOO macros; everwhere where one of these macros was used was one less place I had to manually add 'const'.
Also removed extraneous space from generated method signatures, leftover from Brendan's capitalization spam, and made 'const decl must be of type short or long' an error rather than just a warning.
Error if an interface is declared [scriptable], but contains methods that can't be scripted because they refer to native-declared types, unless the method is declared [noscript].
This change is intended to make it easier to determine when an interface is not scriptable, and to make it easier to see what changes need to be made to make it scriptable.
As many of the .idl files in the tree defined [scriptable] interfaces that contained non-scriptable methods, I've sprinkled [noscript] throughout. As the interfaces weren't scriptable anyway, this shouldn't change their visibility to javascript.
String constants are now (const char *)s and must be explicitly cast to (char *).
operator new is expected to be empty or throw an expection instead of returning null. (ifdef'd for gcc 2.95+)
Stricter checks on register clobbering in embedded asm. (at least I think that's what it is)
Expects the main function to return int, not something similiar to it like PRInt32.
Still requires a tweak to remove -mno-486 from NSPR's *.mk files.
