Currently only Windows can take advantage of this.
The reason why the arrays of deunified sources are named like that in
Spidermonkey's moz.build is to avoid UnsortedErrors in python. There's probably
a better way to handle that, but I just want something that works for now.
And yes, the deunified sources will be reunified if LTO is disabled.
It seems that if we're going to enable JS_SHARED_LIBRARY, we need ICU to be a
shared library too in order to prevent code duplication in mozjs.dll bloating
it to a whopping 21 MB.
This unfortunately means we have to fold icudata back to icu itself. But since
icudata is still separated from libxul (which is what really matters for #1451),
I think this is a fair compromise.
Building ICU as shared is offered as an option via --enable-shared-icu. But
technically you really need --enable-shared-icu if you're going to use
--enable-shared-js. Unfortunately I can't make configure exit with an error if
MOZ_SHARED_ICU is not defined when JS_SHARED_LIBRARY is enabled, because options
are controlled by different configure scripts (icu is based on bash, while js is
based on python), and I have no idea how to pass MOZ_SHARED_ICU to js's
moz.configure.
Tag #62
Based on Mozilla bugs 1270140, 1504656, 1483545, and 1504334.
Took note of Mozilla bug 1379222 which changed GetPrototypeFromCallableConstructor
to GetPrototypeFromBuiltinConstructor.
There are many other changes I did myself since the initial implementation by
Mozilla wouldn't work with this codebase.
This removes speech recognition, pocketsphinx, training models
and the speech automated test interface.
This also re-establishes proper use of MOZ_WEBSPEECH to work
for the speech API (synthesis part only) that was a broken mess
before, with some synth parts being always built, some parts
being built only with it enabled and recognition parts being
dependent on it. I'm pretty sure it'd be totally busted if you'd
ever have tried building without MOZ_WEBPEECH before.
Tested that synthesis still works as-intended.
This resolves#1538
This add a few disabled compiler warnings to the compiler flags on MSVC
and specifically filters out the RTTI disabling CL flag to prevent CLI
override warnings.
This resolves#1316

Setting this up turned out to be easier than I thought it would be. All I had to do was apply these instructions in reverse and add the following to my .mozconfig file:
CC="gcc -m64"
CXX="g++ -m64"
AS="gas --64"
ac_add_options --target=x86_64-pc-solaris2.11
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/amd64/pkgconfig
ac_add_options --libdir=/usr/lib/amd64
ac_add_options --x-libraries=/usr/lib/amd64
Most of these changes were fairly trivial, just requiring me to make a few of the changes I made earlier conditional on a 32-bit build. The biggest challenge was figuring out why the JavaScript engine triggered a segfault everytime it tried to allocate memory. But this patch fixes it:
https://github.com/OpenIndiana/oi-userland/blob/oi/hipster/components/web/firefox/patches/patch-js_src_gc_Memory.cpp.patch
Turns out that Solaris on AMD64 handles memory management in a fairly unusual way with a segmented memory model, but it's not that different from what we see on other 64-bit processors. In fact, I saw a SPARC crash for a similar reason, and noticed that it looked just like mine except the numbers in the first segment were reversed. Having played around with hex editors before, I had a feeling I might be dealing with a little-endian version of a big-endian problem, but I didn't expect that knowledge to actually yield an easy solution.

As far as I can tell, this was the last barrier to an AMD64 Solaris build of Pale Moon.

The libxul.so fix was implemented by Mozilla in Firefox 57 and personally recommended to me by an Oracle employee on the OpenIndiana mailing list. It can easily be made ifdef XP_SOLARIS, but it seems like the new way is considered a better solution overall by the original author of the code that had it use that null pointer hack to begin with.
I can't link where I found the fix for libffi because I came up with it myself while looking at the way sysv.S does things. Something clicked in my brain while reading that mindfruit link above, though, and gave me enough of a sense of what was going on to be able to fix libffi.
The libffi fix looks a bit hairy because of all the FDE_ENCODE statements, but if you examine the code closely, you should find that it does exactly what it did before on all platforms besides Solaris. I later discovered that people who originally ported Firefox to Solaris never figured this out during the Firefox 52 era and had to use GNU LD for linking libxul.so while using the Sun LD for the rest of the build to make it work. For whatever reason, it works for me now without the GNU LD trick.
This is mostly ifdefs, but as you can see, Solaris is actually a lot like Linux. They're both more SysV than BSD at core, and most of the differences have more to do with Solaris not using glibc than anything else.
I still need to audit a lot of these changes and understand why they're needed and what the alternative approaches are. After this patch, most of the core functionality needed to build Solaris is here.
Compared with what Pale Moon had for Solaris originally, this is mostly the same zero point I started patching from, but I've made the following changes here after reviewing all this initial code I never looked at closely before.
1. In package-manifest.in for both Basilisk and Pale Moon, I've made the SPARC code for libfreebl not interefere with the x86 code, use the proper build flags, and also updated it to allow a SPARC64 build which is more likely to be used than the 32-bit SPARC code we had there.
2. See Mozilla bug #832272 and the old rules.mk patch from around Firefox 30 in oracle/solaris-userland. I believe they screwed up NSINSTALL on Solaris when they were trying to streamline the NSS buildsystem, because they started having unexplained issues with it around that time after Firefox 22 that they never properly resolved until Mozilla began building NSS with gyp files. I'm actually not even sure how relevant the thing they broke actually is to Solaris at this point, bug 665509 is so old it predates Firefox itself and goes back to the Mozilla suite days. I believe $(INSTALL) -t was wrong, and they meant $(NSINSTALL) -t because that makes more sense and is closer to what was there originally. It's what they have for WINNT, and it's possible a fix more like that could serve for Solaris as well. Alternatively, we could get rid of all these half-broken Makefiles and start building NSS with gyp files like Mozilla did.
3. I've completely cut out support for the Sun compiler and taken into account the reality that everyone builds Firefox (and therefore its forks) with GCC now on Solaris. This alone helped clean up a lot of the uglier parts of the code.
4. I've updated all remaining SOLARIS build flags to the newer XP_SOLARIS, because the SOLARIS flag is no longer set when building Solaris.
5. I've confirmed the workaround in gtxFontconfigFonts.cpp is no longer necessary. The Solaris people got impatient about implementing a half-baked patch for a fontconfig feature that wasn't ready yet back in 2009, and somehow convinced Mozilla to patch their software to work around it when really they should have just fixed or removed their broken fontconfig patch. The feature they wanted has since been implemented properly, and no version of Solaris still uses the broken patch that required this fix. If anyone had ever properly audited this code, it would have been removed a long time ago.

Apparently a prehistoric server implementation would send a certificate_authorities field
that didn't include the outer DER SEQUENCE tag, so PSM attempted to detect this and
work around it.
This prehistoric server implementation isn't in use anywhere anymore, so this 18-yo
server bug workaround can be removed.

Since Bug 1030963, functions that make use of libcrmf has been removed
from the codebase. Therefore, it's no longer necessary to link with
libcrmf.
This commit completely removes the '-lcrmf' for --with-system-nss
builds, as libcrmf is not available on all systems (eg. Arch Linux)
This commit is a follow up to #364
