|
|
<p>Get out your decoder rings kids!
|
|
<p>Having a basic understanding of COM is only the first
|
|
<br>step. To get CMonkey code to build and run,
|
|
<br>you need to translate your COM ideas into Netscape
|
|
<br>speak.
|
|
<p>Feel free to add to this document or change incorrect info.
|
|
<br>Hopefully more info and more examples will help new
|
|
<br>people reach XPCOM nirvana more quickly.
|
|
<p><b>To mentally translate XPCOM to COM.</b>

<p>Not too difficult.
|
|
<br>But wait. There's more.
|
|
<br><b>-------------------------------------------</b>
|
|
<p><b><font size=+1>Why don't those classes have AddRef?</font></b>
|
|
<p>Actually, those classes do have AddRef. It is hidden
|
|
<br>in a macro. There are alot of macros that are alot of help
|
|
<br>once you know :
|
|
<br> 1) They exist.
|
|
<p> 2) Where they are defined. (They aren't always mnemonic
|
|
or onomatipeic.
|
|
<br>
|
|
You might want to print them out.)
|
|
<p> mozilla/xpcom/public/nsCom.h
|
|
<br>
|
|
mozilla/xpcom/public/nsISupports.h
|
|
<p> 3)What they are
|
|
<br>
|
|
Here's a short list to give you an idea of what you've been missing.
|
|
<br>
|
|
The include files listed above are the real reference.
|
|
<p> 4) A quick way to expand pesky macros:
|
|
<br>
|
|
For macros in foo.cpp, 'make foo.i'
|
|
<p> This
|
|
will pump the foo.cpp file through C preprocessing
|
|
<br>
|
|
and expand all the macros for you. The output can be
|
|
<br>
|
|
hard to read, but if you search for unique strings
|
|
<br>
|
|
in the area you aredebugging, you can navigate
|
|
<br>
|
|
the file pretty easily.
