We need re-add ProcessRuntime so mscom is properly init'd. This was removed during one of the early reviews.

Assignee: nobody → mfroman
Priority: -- → P2

This fixes a CoInitializeEx failure when enabling Vorbis
decoding on RDD.

Just a note, without this fix, CoInitializeEx in RemoteDecoderManagerParent.cpp returns E_OUTOFMEMORY. With this fix, we get a different error (also a CoInitializeEx failure, but no win ApartmentRegion.h) which is reported in Bug 1553249.

Pushed by mfroman@mozilla.com: https://hg.mozilla.org/integration/autoland/rev/e1d251e5e26f add back ProcessRuntime in RDD for mscom init. r=jya

Bug 1557844 - add back ProcessRuntime in RDD for mscom init. r?jya

ESR Uplift Approval Request

  • If this is not a sec:{high,crit} bug, please state case for ESR consideration: Tor is built on ESR; and this patch is necessary for the RDD process to work in the MinGW build (which Tor uses)
  • User impact if declined: Tor will need to carry a separate patch
  • Fix Landed on Version: 69
  • Risk to taking this patch: Low
  • Why is the change risky/not risky? (and alternatives if risky): I believe this patch is not risky, even though it applies to all platforms, because it is a bugfix needed for normal RDD process operation for Vorbis, just not AV1 (on clang-cl builds). But I'm going to confirm this.
  • String or UUID changes made by this patch:
