[Chromium-dev] experimental crSPUChangeFunction ("not used at this time")

[Daniel B. F. <fa...@ca...>]

Hi,

[I'm CCing this to chromium-dev]

  I noticed you [Brian P.] checked in the code apparently meant to go with 
the DISPATCH_OFFSET_Xyz code.  Is there a reason crSPUChangeFunction() 
isn't enabled?  Is it not portable to do this kind of offsetting?
  I'm makeing a scripting extension, and it would be convenient to use the 
offsets, but I don't want to if they're going away.

thanks,
Daniel Faken

The idea was I wanted to improve the efficiency of the 
crSPUChangeInterface() function by providing a way to directly address 
positions in the dispatch table without having to do a search.

I just never had time to finish that project.  The offsets are 
auto-generated so they should be accurate/correct but there's no code 
in place that actually uses them at this time.
