The lone remaining startup cache-related uses of nsAutoArrayPtr are both
in TestStartupCache.cpp, for use with nsIStartupCache::GetBuffer. The
uses can't use StartupCache::GetBuffer because StartupCache::GetBuffer
isn't visible outside of libxul, and TestStartupCache is a normal C++
unit test.
The Right Thing is to convert TestStartupCache to a gtest so we can see
libxul internal symbols and then delete nsIStartupCache entirely.
That's a bit complicated, as TestStartupCache doesn't fit nicely into
gtest's framework. The simpler solution is to add a UniquePtr overload
in the interface that hides the XPCOM outparam management details.
Similar to the previous change to NewObjectInputStreamFromBuffer, we
want to make the ownership transfer out of NewBufferFromStorageStream
more obvious. Doing this also lets us get rid of some uses of
nsAutoArrayPtr, which is less idiomatic than UniquePtr.
Because NewObjectInputStreamFromBuffer takes a raw pointer as input, the
typical coding pattern to use it is:
nsAutoArrayPtr<char> buf;
// assign something to buf
nsresult rv = NewObjectInputStreamFromBuffer(buf, ...);
if (NS_FAILED(rv)) {
...
return rv;
}
buf.forget();
Which is clumsy, error-prone, and obscures the ownership transfer of the
pointer into the stream returned by NewObjectInputStreamFromBuffer.
Let's address all of these concerns by changing the argument to a
UniquePtr<char[]>.
TestWriteObject() in TestStartupCache.cpp uses this odd pattern of
acquiring a raw pointer from the startup cache, and then stashing that
raw pointer into an nsAutoArrayPtr. We can do better by using the
getter_Transfers idiom and thereby always using the smart pointer.

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.
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.
It turns out that the JS engine asserts that we only ever have one JSRuntime
per thread. So when we spin up XPConnect in XPCOM initialization, we run into
assertions when this standalone test does JS_NewRuntime. FWIW, it probably
shouldn't be creating a random runtime and then passing that cx into Gecko
APIs anyway.
It sure would be nice if C++ unit tests could run with internal linkage... :-(
