XPCOM's string API doesn't have the notion of a "null string". But it does have
the notion of a "void string" (or "voided string"), and that's what these
functions are returning. So the names should reflect that.
We should not be declaring forward declarations for nsString classes directly,
instead we should use nsStringFwd.h. This will make changing the underlying
types easier.
This removes about 2/3 of the occurrences of nsXPIDLString in the tree. The
places where nsXPIDLStrings are null-checked are replaced with |rv| checks.
The patch also removes a couple of unused declarations from
nsIStringBundle.idl.
Note that nsStringBundle::GetStringFromNameHelper() was merged into
GetStringFromName(), because they both would have had the same signature.
This requires adding mPendingFlashThrottleMsgs to PluginInstanceChild. It also
requires adding FlashThrottleMsg::mInstance, and a FlashThrottleMsg::Cancel()
function that nulls mInstance.
Instead of synchronously checking the blocklist, package each plugin's
blocklist state with it when sending the information to the content
process. Whenever the blocklist is changed, just resend the whole
plugin list.

This allows a bunch of other things to be removed too, including
PluginModuleParent::mSurrogateInstances,
PluginModuleChromeParent::sInstantiated, and NS_PLUGIN_INIT_PENDING.
The patch also removes the AsyncPluginInit crash annotation.
The aAllowAsyncInit argument to PluginModuleParent's constructor is unused.
This patch removes it and various other things that are no longer needed once
it is gone.
This patch makes the following changes to the macros.
- Removes PROFILER_LABEL_FUNC. It's only suitable for use in functions outside
classes, due to PROFILER_FUNCTION_NAME not getting class names, and it was
mostly misused.
- Removes PROFILER_FUNCTION_NAME. It's no longer used, and __func__ is
universally available now anyway.
- Combines the first two string literal arguments of PROFILER_LABEL and
PROFILER_LABEL_DYNAMIC into a single argument. There was no good reason for
them to be separate, and it forced a '::' in the label, which isn't always
appropriate. Also, the meaning of the "name_space" argument was interpreted
in an interesting variety of ways.
- Adds an "AUTO_" prefix to PROFILER_LABEL and PROFILER_LABEL_DYNAMIC, to make
it clearer they construct RAII objects rather than just being function calls.
(I myself have screwed up the scoping because of this in the past.)
- Fills in the 'js::ProfileEntry::Category::' qualifier within the macro, so
the caller doesn't need to. This makes a *lot* more of the uses fit onto a
single line.
The patch also makes the following changes to the macro uses (beyond those
required by the changes described above).
- Fixes a bunch of labels that had gotten out of sync with the name of the
class and/or function that encloses them.
- Removes a useless PROFILER_LABEL use within a trivial scope in
EventStateManager::DispatchMouseOrPointerEvent(). It clearly wasn't serving
any useful purpose. It also serves as extra evidence that the AUTO_ prefix is
a good idea.
- Tweaks DecodePool::SyncRunIf{Preferred,Possible} so that the labelling is
done within them, instead of at their callsites, because that's a more
standard way of doing things.
