In some related work with cleaning up configure vars I noticed NSPR still uses |GC_LEAK_DETECTOR| throughout much of the codebase. This var is no longer used in m-c (or comm-central) at all. NSPR's usage allows those building NSPR directly to |--enable-boehm|. Is there some reason this is still present in NSPR (other than "we didn't get around to it") or can/should it be removed?

I believe that code can be removed. I don't think it's being built unless you specify some configure option.

I'll take care of this bug.

Comment on attachment 468228 [details] [diff] [review] Remove GC_LEAK_DETECTOR from NSPR part (checked in) r=wtc. We should also cvs remove prgcleak.c, right?

(In reply to comment #4) > r=wtc. We should also cvs remove prgcleak.c, right? Yes. prgleak.c is compiled only when GC_LEAK_DETECTOR is defined.

Comment on attachment 468227 [details] [diff] [review] Remove GC_LEAK_DETECTOR from build config part I suppose attachment 468227 [details] [diff] [review] is low risk because gc/boehm does not exist in m-c now.
