If a worker thread sends +// messages to the content while the content is paused, those messages must not +// run until the JavaScript invocation interrupted by the debugger has completed. +// +// Bug 1426467 is that calling nsIDOMWindowUtils::resumeTimeouts actually +// delivers deferred messages itself, calling the content's 'onmessage' handler. +// But the debugger calls suspend/resume around each individual interruption of +// the debuggee -- each step, say -- meaning that hitting the "step into" button +// causes you to step from the debuggee directly into an onmessage handler, +// since the onmessage handler is the next function call the debugger sees. +// +// In other words, delivering deferred messages from resumeTimeouts, as it is +// used by the debugger, breaks the run-to-completion rule. They must not be +// delivered until after the JavaScript invocation at hand is complete. That's +// what this test checks. +// +// For this test to detect the bug, the following steps must take place in +// order: +// +// 1) The content page must call suspendTimeouts. +// 2) A runnable conveying a message from the worker thread must attempt to +// deliver the message, see that the content page has suspended such things, +// and hold the message for later delivery. +// 3) The content page must call resumeTimeouts. +// +// In a correct implementation, the message from the worker thread is delivered +// only after the main thread returns to the event loop after calling +// resumeTimeouts in step 3). In the buggy implementation, the onmessage handler +// is called directly from the call to resumeTimeouts, so that the onmessage +// handlers run in the midst of whatever JavaScript invocation resumed timeouts +// (say, stepping in the debugger), in violation of the run-to-completion rule. +// +// In this specific bug, the handlers are called from resumeTimeouts, but +// really, running them any time before that invocation returns to the main +// event loop would be a bug. +// +// Posting the message and calling resumeTimeouts take place in different +// threads, but if 2) and 3) don't occur in that order, the worker's message +// will never be delayed and the test will pass spuriously. But the worker +// can't communicate with the content page directly, to let it know that it +// should proceed with step 3): the purpose of suspendTimeouts is to pause +// all such communication. +// +// So instead, the content page creates a MessageChannel, and passes one +// MessagePort to the worker and the other to this mochitest (which has its +// own window, separate from the one calling suspendTimeouts). The worker +// notifies the mochitest when it has posted the message, and then the +// mochitest calls into the content to carry out step 3). + +// To help you follow all the callbacks and event handlers, this code pulls out +// event handler functions so that control flows from top to bottom. + +window.onload = function() { + // This mochitest is not complete until we call SimpleTest.finish.
