Hello everyone, I would like to announce that with the landing of bug 1447194, all nsIURI implementations in Gecko are now threadsafe, as well as immutable. As a consequence, you no longer have to clone a URI when you pass it around, as it's guaranteed not to change, and now it's OK to release them off the main thread.
If you need to change a nsIURI, you should use the nsIURIMutator interface (in JavaScript - just call .mutate() on the URI) or the NS_MutateURI <https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/netwerk/test/gtest/TestURIMutator.cpp#22> helper class (in C++). More info here: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Necko/nsIURI If you find any bugs, make them block bug 922464 (OMT-nsIURI) I'd like to thank everyone who helped review the patches, especially Honza Bambas who reviewed most of my patches. Cheers! _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
