I have noticed that a lot of JavaScript files in firefox source code has some particularities like comments using '#' and the presence of preprocessor directives (#ifdefs).
I think that this JS code will be somehow to compiled to standard JS code. Am I right? If yes, how can I compile that code? _______________________________________________ dev-tech-layout mailing list [hidden email] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-tech-layout |
Firstly: this question would be better-addressed to the "firefox-dev" list:
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/firefox-dev This list here (dev.tech.layout) is for discussion of the internals of Firefox's layout engine. (not about Firefox frontend/JS code) But, I'll give a brief answer -- yes, many Firefox JS & CSS & HTML files are run through a preprocessor, *during the Firefox build process*. You can "compile" that code (have it preprocessed) by compiling Firefox -- for help with that, see: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Simple_Firefox_build If you have further questions on these preprocessor directives in Firefox JS files, please direct them to the firefox-dev list (linked above), rather than to dev.tech.layout.

I don't know you. If you want you can hire a web developer. It costs 15$
per hour. __ Best Regards, Ivan 2016-11-23 3:07 GMT+02:00 Sohel Ahmed <[hidden email]>: > On Monday, November 23, 2015 at 9:24:23 PM UTC-8, Filipe Falcão wrote: > > I have noticed that a lot of JavaScript files in firefox source code has > some particularities like comments using '#' and the presence of > preprocessor directives (#ifdefs). > > I think that this JS code will be somehow to compiled to standard JS > code. > > Am I right?
