For the moment, all ArrayBuffer APIs are defined in jstypedarray.h and prefixed with js_*. From what I understand, this means that using them is not legal yet. We should export [some of] these APIs into jsapi.h with a JS_* name.

Comment on attachment 578555 [details] [diff] [review] JSAPI: Adding JS_IsArrayBufferObject, JS_NewArrayBufferObject, JS_GetArrayBufferLength, JS_GetArrayBufferData Review of attachment 578555 [details] [diff] [review]: ----------------------------------------------------------------- For now, we're putting the typed array functions in jstypedarray.{h,cpp} marked as JS_FRIEND_API. The idea is that they're going to be public APIs someday, are OK to use in the browser, but are still stabilizing so they are not part of the standard public API. ::: js/src/jsapi.cpp @@ +4222,5 @@ > return js_SetReservedSlot(cx, obj, index, v); > } > > +JS_PUBLIC_API(JSBool) > +JS_IsArrayBufferObject(JSContext *cx, JSObject *obj) This doesn't need to (and therefore should not) take a cx.

Attached patch v2 (obsolete) (deleted) — Splinter Review
Well, here is a v2. But it is so trivial that I cannot help but assume that I must have missed something.

Can we please at least move them to jsfriendapi.h? Requiring Gecko to include jstypedarray.h only makes it harder to make sure that we only use the blessed API.
(In reply to Ms2ger from comment #6) > Can we please at least move them to jsfriendapi.h? Requiring Gecko to > include jstypedarray.h only makes it harder to make sure that we only use > the blessed API. I am willing to do that if necessary, for the new files. However, moving the JS_FRIEND_API(...) functions that already appear in jstypedarray.h is a little beyond the scope of my trivial contribution, and I would rather avoid the refactoring-in-a-refactoring syndrome.
Attached patch v3. Moving this to jsfriendapi.h (obsolete) (deleted) — Splinter Review
Here it is. I have also experimented with publishing all JS_FRIEND_API(...) functions of jstypedarray.h in jsfriendapi.h. For some reason that I could not discover (perhaps a namespace issue? or an incompatible |extern "C"|?), this breaks linking, so I have rolledback to just adding the new friend functions in jsfriendapi.h .

Comment on attachment 581556 [details] [diff] [review] v3. Moving this to jsfriendapi.h Review of attachment 581556 [details] [diff] [review]: ----------------------------------------------------------------- Gecko already includes jstypedarray.h. Let's just land the v2 patch rather than splitting up the API among different files or wasting time on linker issues.

Review of attachment 582008 [details] [diff] [review]: ----------------------------------------------------------------- It'd be nice to move the declarations near the other JS_ files, but you don't need a new review for that, you can just move then and land.
