The JS_TRY family of macros (https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/5d287de1f7e8618dcade5cc7d480e76fae99f79b/js/public/Result.h#123-174) use methods of JSContext. However, in embedder code, JSContext is an opaque type, so this won't compile. e.g.:
bug.cpp:18:5: error: member access into incomplete type 'JSContext'
JS_TRY_BOOL_TO_RESULT(cx, JS::InitSelfHostedCode(cx));
^
/usr/local/include/mozjs-102/js/Result.h:130:26: note: expanded from macro 'JS_TRY_BOOL_TO_RESULT'
if (!ok_) return (cx)->boolToResult(ok_); \
^
/usr/local/include/mozjs-102/js/TypeDecls.h:28:22: note: forward declaration of 'JSContext'
struct JS_PUBLIC_API JSContext;
^
Either these macros shouldn't be in the public headers, or we should have public API such as JS::BoolToResult(JSContext*, bool)
etc. (or even a JS::Result<JS::Ok>(JSContext*, bool)
constructor?) If you let me know which is preferred, I'm happy to contribute a patch.

We're not sure if the JS::Result
overhead is worth it for a lot of internal code. The cx->boolToResult
method and JS_TRY_BOOL_TO_RESULT
macro appear to be unused at this point too. We probably shouldn't add the JSAPI methods if we're not using this internally anymore.

These are not used anywhere in the codebase, and cannot be used by
embedders because JSContext::boolToResult isn't public.

JS_TRY_OR_RETURN_NULL isn't used anywhere in the codebase, and can't be
used by embedders because the JSContext::resultToBool method isn't
public.

These macros are not usable by embedders because they expand to
JSContext method calls which are not public. However, they are used in
several places in the codebase, so we need to keep them somewhere.
JSContext.h seems like a good place for that.
