Gecko:DeCOMtamination: Difference between revisions

* in many cases we have a singleton interface like nsIComboboxControlFrame that is only implemented by one class, is not defined in IDL (and is therefore not scriptable), and is not visible outside Gecko. In these cases we can save code and data size by eliminating the interface, moving its methods to the concrete class and devirtualizing them, and casting to the class directly, like we just did with nsGfxButtonControlFrame. We can even assign the class an IID so you can get to it with QueryInterface. For example you can QI to nsBlockFrame this way.({{bug|326944}})

* Not really deCOMtamination, but we have new methods nsIContent::AttrValueIs and nsIContent::FindAttrValueIn that can be used in many many places where nsIContent::GetAttr is currently used. The new methods reduce code size and are faster. We need to convert GetAttr calls to use the new methods.(<strike>{{bug|333896}}</strike>)
