This is another one of those annoying situaitons in XPConnect right now where we
can't ask a question without potentially throwing if the answer is no. There's
also a bunch of unused cruft in here (like the Perm*Access stuff), so this stuff
was ripe for a spring cleaning. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to divide this patch
up nicely. Sorry for the big diff. :-(
In a nutshell, this patch changes things so that Policy::check() just becomes
a predicate that says whether the access is allowed or not. There's the remote
possibility that one of the underlying JSAPI calls in a ::check() implementation
might throw, so callers to ::check() should check JS_IsExceptionPending
afterwards (this doesn't catch OOM, but we can just continue along until the
next OOM-triggering operation and throw there).
Aside from exceptional cases, callers should call Policy::deny if they want to
report the failure. Policy::deny returns success value that should be returned
to the wrapper's consumer.
There's really no reason to use the wishy-washy static COW Deny() here.
Also, note that the xpcshell-test wasn't testing what it thought it
was - interfaces is accessible from content code.
The extra indentaiton was necessary because we wanted hg/git to notice that webapp_clearBrowserData.js was actually a rename of test_webapp_clearBrowserData.html.
These new tests are disabled on Android because the test they're replacing, test_webapp_clearBrowserData.html, was also disabled on Android, and the new tests fail in the same way as the original test.
--HG--
rename : dom/indexedDB/test/test_webapp_clearBrowserData.html => dom/indexedDB/test/webapp_clearBrowserData.js
The main bug fixed here is that in half of our interfaces, we use "is browser frame/element" to mean "browser or app", and in the other half, we use it to mean "is browser not app".
There's a related, functional bug also fixed here, which is that a browser process doesn't inherit its parent's app-id. This causes problems e.g. for IndexedDB: If a browser inside an app uses IndexedDB, the DB should have the app's app-id.
I also modified Tab{Parent,Child} and nsFrameLoader to call "app" "ownOrContainingApp", to emphasize that we might have inherited the app from a parent process. I left nsIDocShell::appId alone, because changing that would have necessitated changing nsILoadGroup and therefore a /lot/ of users in Necko; it's also not clear it would have clarified anything in those cases.
