"use strict"; // The debugger uses nsIDOMWindowUtils::suspendTimeouts and ...::resumeTimeouts // to ensure that content event handlers do not run while a JavaScript // invocation is stepping or paused at a breakpoint. 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. Don't just // exit as soon as we return to the main event loop.
