Hi all, I am currently working on races that can happen across asynchronous event callbacks. I started investigating the Mozilla source code hoping that I can find a concrete event loop and queue implementation as discussed in https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Guide/EventLoop.
But it seems like this is not the case. So I wanted to learn if you can help with the problems at hand: - Is it possible to have access to the async. event callbacks that are waiting to be executed at a given time? - I have investigated nsEventQueue and nsThreadPool from XPCOM but at this level all events are wrapped with nsRunnable s which won't give me much regarding the event types etc. and it seems to be used for any kind of event not just user defined but also browser related ones. So is there a way to distinguish if an event is user defined or system related event? - Lately, I looked into a higher level of events in EventDispatcher and EventListenerManager which seems to be related to user defined events and corresponding event handlers (async. callbacks). Is it possible to use these for checking which async. callbacks are triggered during event execution? I am having difficulty understanding the general execution flow of a web page. So my guess is if I create a button with a callback or a setTimeout on the window object, these callbacks append a event listener for the corresponding event and triggered if they are dispatched from EventDispatcher. Sorry for the long post but I am new to Firefox hacking and will be really grateful if you can help me with the problems or at least direct me to some documentation that can.
