OK, I discussed that at length with Kent on IRC. We decided to rip out atoms altogether and use strings. If you want to see the size of the problem: https://dxr.mozilla.org/comm-central/search?q=nsIAtom&redirect=false Starting with nsIFolderListener.idl and nsIMsgFolder.idl.
Attached patch 1334558-remove-atoms.patch (v1) (obsolete) (deleted) — Splinter Review
This gets rid of the use of nsIAtom from those interfaces and related code. TB starts and seems to work, however, there is a long long long litany of complains when the profile manager closes (I use this to select my testing profiles) and when TB closes. I don't think we register all those atoms, or do we. Here's a little excerpt: ds/nsAtomTable.cpp, line 397 [6252] ###!!! ASSERTION: dynamic atom with non-zero refcount lc-333333!: 'false' , file c:/mozilla-source/comm-central/mozilla/xpcom/ds/nsAtomTable.cpp, line 397 [6252] ###!!!

Nathan, we've stopped registering our strings/atoms late now, but what what can we do about this endless list of errors?

Comment on attachment 8831342 [details] [diff] [review] 1334558-remove-atoms.patch (v1) Review of attachment 8831342 [details] [diff] [review]: ----------------------------------------------------------------- I looked this over and it seems fine. I did not check each atom to see if it was correct (so I would also miss the incorrect case errors). Since we are changing everything, it seems to me it would be a good time to fix any inconsistencies. That is, make sure that all former atoms are replaced with camel case strings, with first letter capitalized. If the string includes "Atom" then don't include that. It would be good if someone had the time to check each atom name, but I do not have that time (nor did I try to compile it). Still, the changes are straightforward, I think this is the right thing to do, so r+=me once you have the try tests sorted.

Hmm, last comment for the day: There were: - kCanFileMessagesAtom = MsgNewAtom("canFileMessages").take(); and - nsCOMPtr <nsIAtom> canFileAtom = MsgGetAtom("CanFileMessages"); So let's hope they weren't meant to be the same. Looks like we should have all those strings as defines somewhere.

How do we know those strings aren't used in JS somewhere hard-coded?
Yes strings as defines (or some sort of global constants) would let C++ locate case or misspelling errors. "How do we know those strings aren't used in JS somewhere hard-coded?" They probably are, but then the JS also has to change since it would be referring to atoms, not strings.
(In reply to Jorg K (GMT+1) from comment #3) > Nathan, we've stopped registering our strings/atoms late now, but what what > can we do about this endless list of errors? Destroy the atoms before XPCOM shutdown. I don't know who is holding those atoms alive, given that they're referenced from CSS. Do you still have live documents at XPCOM shutdown (?!) ? It's pretty unfortunate that you had to replace all those atom comparisons with string comparisons. Are you sure there's not a better way to do that?

Are you sure there's not a better way to do that? I would think we could create a fake atom class, to be used by C-C TB only, which the basic functions necessary for C-C TB (simply offers registration/comparison, etc.), and rename all the usage of Atomm class to this new reduced class, etc. Then rewriting the bulk of the code is not necessary. But the use of Atoms in JS makes it tough... There seem to be plenty of them. https://dxr.mozilla.org/comm-central/search?q=nsIAtomService&redirect=false
(In reply to Nathan Froyd [:froydnj] from comment #11) > Destroy the atoms before XPCOM shutdown. I don't know who is holding those > atoms alive, given that they're referenced from CSS. Do you still have live > documents at XPCOM shutdown (?!) ? Good question. As mentioned in comment #3: TB starts and seems to work, however, there is a long long long litany of complains when the *profile manager* closes (I use this to select my testing profiles) and when TB closes. this also happens in the profile manager. Now, the TB profile manager suffers the same problem as the FF profile manager, in that it gets an error at the end when exiting, see bug 1303637 (and formerly bug 1223574). No one was interested. Looks like this is coming back to bite us. Have you ever run the profile manager in debug mode after landing bug 1276669? > It's pretty unfortunate that you had to replace all those atom comparisons > with string comparisons. Are you sure there's not a better way to do that? It's pretty unfortunate that this was thrust upon us with no prior notice and no post on dev-platform. nsIAtoms is a public interface, so how good is using this interface if you have no core service to manage your atoms since you basically closed NS_RegisterStaticAtoms() for others to use. The only thing we can come up in a rush is to use strings. That said, I'll look into using all dynamic atoms via NS_Atomize()/MsgGetAtom() although Kent appears to be more in favour of going the string path.
Oops, NI got lost by mid-air collision.

OK, the "use dynamic atoms" approach is a lot less painful ;-) We already use this approach here: https://dxr.mozilla.org/comm-central/rev/aa9ec692549119aac1abf473af2056adb97ad7cb/mailnews/base/src/nsMsgFolderDataSource.cpp#188 with the free at: https://dxr.mozilla.org/comm-central/rev/aa9ec692549119aac1abf473af2056adb97ad7cb/mailnews/base/src/nsMsgFolderDataSource.cpp#266 Application starts and runs. However, exiting the profile manager gives, as already known: WARNING: YOU ARE LEAKING THE WORLD (at least one JSRuntime and everything alive inside it, that is) AT JS_ShutDown TIME. FIX THIS!

You got yourself confused. > That is not going to work, as other folders will then also see their > nsIAtom* values released, and you may have the atom destroyed. How can it not be working, you have a green run in opt and in debug also most test pass unless they leak folders. As you correctly pointed out, the atoms are static properties of nsMsgDBFolder, and there therefore is one global set of atoms for all folder instances. That's why the get allocated in the constructor of the *first* instance and released in the destructor of the *last* instance. If course, if the last instance never gets released, we have a problem, as can be seen in bug 1334874: https://dxr.mozilla.org/comm-central/rev/07ccae5d880ba9f0e798b061abfe00fb100568d0/mailnews/base/util/nsMsgDBFolder.cpp#134 In fact, the current code is an excellent way to find leaked folders, which previously we just ignored. So please put r+ onto this or I really have to take it to the engineering committee ;-)

So I can approve it. Re your "So please put r+ onto this or I really have to take it to the engineering committee ;-)" yes you were joking, but to be clear the normal path in a simple dispute would be to get a third party involved (like Aceman or Magnus). In theory the Engineering Committee could resolve disputes, but that is not their main function, and should be a last resort rather than a common occurrence.
