From his email:
Your checkin v1.9 to nsDirectoryService.cpp broke a SUNWspro4.2
debug build of mozilla, causing xpcom to fail initializing. The
root problem was that nsDirectoryService::Create() was failing.
This appears to a mistake caused by a shadowed copy of the "rv"
variable in that method. The fix below causes the SUNWspro build
to start up normally.
Not sure why this didn't break other platforms.
1) Implement nsDirectoryService. This makes the service extensible so that
components can do delayed registration.
2) Fixes windows Append meathod which did not work with . prepended files.
3) Fixes memory leaks in nsDirectoryService
4) Fixes SetPermissions() on Win32. This was in my tree for a while. It basically
calls through to chmod just like on unix.
5) Fixes GetModificationDate. Win32 now return PRTime for dates.
r = scc, valeski, warren, wtc (suggestions)
a = jevering
before being calculated.
Changed this GetProcessDirectory to return an allocated nsIFile.
Making sure that object stored in the nsHashtable are not muteable.
dougt's changes. r=ssu. a=granrose.
It is a nsIProperty.
2. Updates to the nsIFile and nsILocalFile interfaces based on conversations
with warren. (thanks)
3. Updated windows mac and unix implementations based on interface changes.
Mac and windows changes need to be reviewed.
Not part of build.
