<td NOSAVE>Move xpcom from using NR_*() functions (modules/libreg) to nsIRegistry

1999-03-23 23:11:36 +03:00

Now we open/close the registry all the time. I want to keep the registry
|
1999-03-23 05:06:31 +03:00
|
|
|
open all the time. That would get performance up.</li>

|
|
|
|
<li>
|
1999-03-23 23:11:36 +03:00
|

|
Platform*() functions use the NR_*Raw() functions in some places. I wonder
|
|
|
|
|
if the nsRegistry has a equivalent. If not we need to create them.</li>
|
1999-03-23 05:06:31 +03:00

</ul>
|
|
|

Mostly, there is equivalence between NR_*() calls and nsRegistry calls. </td>
