Getting Shark to see headers in dist/

Dear Lazyweb,

Every so often, when I try to look at the source/assembly view in Shark it'll complain that it can't find the file at, say "../../../dist/content/nsINode.h". Ideally, I'd just tell it the directory relative to which these relative paths should be resolved. Any idea how to do it? Of course even more ideally it would Just Work without me having to do anything...

Array.map + destructuring assignment = win

It's nice to write code sometimes unburdened by either C++ or performance considerations. It can just look so nice as a result!

function stringToURL(str) {
  return (new StandardURL(nsIStandardURL.URLTYPE_AUTHORITY, 80,
                         str, "UTF-8", null))
         .QueryInterface(Components.interfaces.nsIURL);
}

function pairToURLs(pair) {
  do_check_eq(pair.length, 2);
  return pair.map(stringToURL);
}

function test_setQuery()
{
  var pairs =
    [
     ["http://example.com", "http://example.com/?foo"],
     /* more pairs here */
    ].map(pairToURLs);
  for each (var [provided, target] in pairs) {
    /* Set the query and test for equality here */
  }
}

Me N for N > 3

To go with this whole awk meme:

% history | awk '{a[$3]++ } END{for(i in a){print a[i] " " i}}' | sort -rn | head
37 latex
27 bibtex
13 cvs
4 ls
3 history
3 backupwork
2 xterm
2 emacs
2 clfiles
1 xdvi

Some notes:

• Have to adjust the awk because tcsh history has slightly different fields
• The fact that tcsh has history per-shell by default means that this is only capturing that one xterm. I have 16 others open right now
• I've clearly been working on my thesis
