A difference between nightly and release builds ? Also between 3.5.4 and 3.5.5 ?
Jean-Marc Desperrier
I'm currently tracking a problem with a java applet that's using a jni
that itself runs xul.dll/xpcom.dll.
It crashes in an unexpected way since 3.5.5.
But works with 3.5.4, and all previous official releases.
The trouble : It also crashes with all nightlies since 2008/07/12 (fix
for bug 435334, no java plugin2 before that version).
So it seems that I've found a difference between the nightly and
official build environment that affects this crash.
In a way this is solved since 3.5.5 :-) , since the app now crashes the
same in both environment :-(
I'm sorry I can't give much info about what kind of crash it is, I've
also found that attaching a debugger to plugin2 kills it, this is how I
started looking for a regression windows instead.
But given what I've found about nightlies vs official, I suspect the
source of the problem is more linked with the build environment that
with the source code.
I suppose it won't be easy to say what kind of difference there could be
between nightly and release build, since they *should* be the same.
But was anything changed in the official build environment between 3.5.4
and 3.5.5 ? I suppose it should be easier to identify what kind of
apparently small change there could have been there.
FU2 to mozilla.dev.builds
