I'm trying to link my XPCOM extension against the 1.9.3a3pre SDK and I get the following:
error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _moz_xmalloc
So, what lib do I need to link to? The documentation doesn't say.
This is on Windows right now, but I'll need it to build on Mac and Linux (32bit/64bit) as well.
Edit: Now with bounty.
Edit: Update: Turns out FF3.7 was cancelled. So I don't have to worry about this until FF4.
define 'XPCOM_GLUE
' in C++ Preprocessor Definition property. It will fix the linking error.
I have same error, and linking to mozalloc helps for that.
Try defining MOZ_NO_MOZALLOC when compiling your extension, you will then get a DLL that uses your CRT's allocators. (Don't forget to use the NS_* allocators for XPCOM-compatible memory.)
reminder note: another option that can cause this even though everything else seems to be configured correctly in the project, is pointing at the wrong libs folder - such as 32 bit version for a 64 bit build.
edit v40 mozalloc.lib
has changed name to mozglue.lib
and has some additional methods.
edit v41 mozglue.lib
has changed name to mozcrt.lib
