Note: This is not really an XPCOM interface. For example, callers must guarantee that they set the *_retval of the various methods that return a boolean to PR_TRUE before making the call. Implementations may skip writing to *_retval unless they want to return PR_FALSE.

enumerate()

 PRBool enumerate(
   in nsIXPConnectWrappedNative wrapper,
   in JSContextPtr cx,
   in JSObjectPtr obj
 );
Parameters
wrapper
cx
obj
Return value

 

newEnumerate()

This method is called when the WANT_NEWENUMERATE flag is set.  It allows the object to implement the for..in enumeration in JavaScript.

This is very similar to JSClass.enumerate.
 PRBool newEnumerate(
   in nsIXPConnectWrappedNative wrapper,
   in JSContextPtr cx,
   in JSObjectPtr obj,
   in PRUint32 enum_op,
   in JSValPtr statep,
   out JSID idp
 );
Parameters
wrapper
cx
The pointer to the JSContext newEnumerate is being called from.
obj
The pointer to the JSObject being enumerated.
enum_op
Indicates what statep and idp represent, as well as indicates how the function should behave.  This will always be one of three values:

JSENUMERATE_INIT

A new, opaque iterator state should be allocated and stored in statep.  You can use PRIVATE_TO_JSVAL() to tag the pointer to be stored.  If idp is non-null, and provided the number of enumerable properties is known, the number of properties that will be enumerated should be returned as an integer jsval in idp. If idp is non-null and the number of enumerable properties cannot be computed in advance, idp should be set to JSVAL_ZERO.

Your function might be passed a null pointer for idp.

JSENUMERATE_NEXT

A previously allocated opaque iterator state is passed in via statep. Return the next jsid in the iteration using idp. The opaque iterator state pointed at by statep is destroyed and *statep is set to JSVAL_NULL if there are no properties left to enumerate.

JSENUMERATE_DESTROY

This function should destroy the opaque iterator state previously allocated in statep by this function when enum_op was JSENUMERATE_INIT.

statep
An in/out pointer to a jsval whose meaning depends on the value of enum_op.
idp
An in/out pointer to a jsid whose meaning depends on the value of enum_op.

Return value

 This should (although does not need to) return PR_TRUE to indicate success or must return PR_FALSE to indicate failure.

newResolve()

This method is called when the WANT_NEWRESOLVE flag is set.  When this method is called, XPConnect is attempting to resolve a lazy property named by id on obj.  The JS engine will check if the property named by id is defined after this method has been called.

This is very similar to JSNewResolveOp.
If an implementation of this method throws an error code, the prototype chain will not be checked for the property.
 PRBool newResolve(
   in nsIXPConnectWrappedNative wrapper,
   in JSContextPtr cx,
   in JSObjectPtr obj,
   in JSVal id,
   in PRUint32 flags,
   out JSObjectPtr objp
 );
Parameters
wrapper
cx
The pointer to the JSContext newResolve is being called from.
obj
The pointer to the JSObject that the property named by id that is being accessed.
id
The name or index of the property being accessed as a jsval.
flags
The flags that describe the access to the property named by id.  See JS_LookupProperty for the flags and their meaning.
objp
An out parameter that, on success, points to the JSObject that the property named by id has been defined on.  If the property named by id was not defined, this should be set to NULL.
Return value

 This should (although does not need to) return PR_TRUE to indicate success or must return PR_FALSE to indicate failure.
