Hi all,
As part of our effort to move to more robust bindings, we've deprecated
Chrome Object Wrappers (COWs) and the __exposedProps__ tables that support
them. We now have machinery to properly implement DOM objects with WebIDL
[1], as well lighter-weight mechanisms for exporting objects (Cu.cloneInto)
and functions (Cu.exportFunction) to content.
Developers - There should be no reason to use __exposedProps__ at this
point. If you find yourself in a situation where you think you need it,
send me an email and I'll point you in the right direction.
Reviewers - Please enforce this rule by rejecting patches that add new
usage of __exposedProps__.
We're also implementing an automated scanner to detect and flag any such
patches. Let me know if you have any questions.
Cheers,
bholley
