Is it safe to assume that every release is going to require binary XPCOM components to be rebuilt?

- joedrew 15y agoYes. We make no guarantees whatsoever on binary compatibility between versions.
- cbf 15y agoOkay, thanks - has bundling an NPAPI plugin with an extension got a future? (js-ctypes can't do what I want so it seems like the next best thing.)
- dochtman 15y agoCurious what you want to do... Maybe extend js-ctypes so that it'll do what you want?
- cbf 15y agoI use an API that you pass a callback into and get an fd in response. You then monitor the fd and invoke a process function when there's something to read which results in your callback being fired with results. I haven't checked js-ctypes for some time so I could be wrong about this type of thing not being possible with it. I figure if I'm going to do a rewrite I might as well go down the NPAPI path (via http://www.firebreath.org/ http://www.firebreath.org/) as then I can pick up Chrome.
