LOCATE, ABORT, ERROR are macros defined in LOCATE: D:\mozilla\gc\boehm\cord\de_cmds.h ABORT: mozilla\gc\boehm\gc_priv.h ERROR: D:\mozilla\config\mkdepend\def.h respectively. I include nsIDOMEvent.h and can't compile my file due to enum names defined in nsIDOMEvent.h coincide with macros names. enum names need to have some prefix like DOM_EVENT_ DOM_EVENT_ABORT DOM_EVENT_LOCATE DOM_EVENT_ERROR, etc.

Reassigning to joki (as agreed in private discussion)...

Hmm. This one isn't as easy as it seems. The names currently used a for 4.x compliance. If we want to change them we have to change the idlc compiler which generates the javascript stubs to recognize some common naming format in the identifier names and continue to reflect the names into javascript under the names listed. I don't really have time to work on it now. Going to have to mark this future right now.

How is this bug going? A critical bug without action in almost 4 years doesn't sound so critical to me. Could it be that this bug has resolved over the years?
