- Attached fix to
bug 84186
. Awaiting code reviews. Will check in next week. Some more detail about
the work follows. Added AUTF8String and ACString support to XPIDL and XPConnect.
Also added the [-t output version number] command line argument to the XPIDL
compiler and the XPT Linker. When the output version number is specified,
the compiler checks that the input IDL file only uses constructs that are
supported in that version. The linker checks that all typelib files it reads
are of the version specified or below. Both the compiler and the linker report
errors and abort if these checks fail.
