最近開發(fā)了一個firefox plugin，有點心得，決定將其寫下來。因為plugin的一些規(guī)則比較死板，所以了解其中函數(shù)的關(guān)系和調(diào)用的先后順序還要參考https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Plugins，本文主要討論Windows，Linux，MAC OS X三個平臺間的差異以及安裝更新的過程。
plugin其實是一個可執(zhí)行的文件（動態(tài)庫），主要用于擴充瀏覽器對數(shù)據(jù)的解釋能力，如flash，pdf格式，也可以用于與本機其他模塊或?qū)ο筮M行通信，如具有腳本訪問功能的plugin。因為我想開發(fā)一個具有腳本訪問功能的plugin，所以從firefox源代碼包中我選擇了npruntime，因為這些結(jié)構(gòu)都是比較固定的。
構(gòu)建npruntime之前要安裝SDK，新建工程或makefile，設(shè)置一些宏定義，如XP_WIN=1，這個是很容易成功的。要是npruntime跨平臺還需要修改其代碼，經(jīng)多次摸索以及google，我提煉出完整的接口如下：

這三個平臺接口實現(xiàn)的功能都一樣，但firefox硬把他們寫的這么復雜。仔細對比一下npruntime原來的接口就會明白這三個平臺到底有什么不同，這里多出了一個main函數(shù)，這個main函數(shù)是在MAC OS X的firefox 2里面才有的，在firefox 3中已經(jīng)取消了，但為了插件的可移植性還是把這個函數(shù)加了進來，里面調(diào)用了了其他的三個接口函數(shù)來實現(xiàn)，本質(zhì)上沒有任何區(qū)別。
這3個平臺的聲明plugin信息的方式也是不一樣的。Windows的plugin信息都存放在資源的Version中，可以用VC或記事本打開進行編輯，Linux上的MIMEType需要通過導出函數(shù)NP_GetMIMEDescription來獲取，而其他的信息則通過NPP_GetValue來獲取，firefox通過這個函數(shù)向plugin請求插件名稱和插件描述。在MAC OS X上plugin信息是放在資源腳本里，要先定義.r 文件，添加到XCode中，.r文件的一個范例如下
#include <CoreServices/CoreServices.r>
resource 'STR#' (127)
{{
"myplugins"
}};
resource 'STR#' (128)
{{
"application/myscriptable-plugin",
"*"
}};
resource 'STR#' (126)
{{
"<a href=\"http://www.mypage.com\">MyPlugin 1.0.0</a> "
"can do something",
"my discription。"
}};
然后將這個文件和源文件一起編譯成一個Bundle（相當于一個DLL），在XCode中還需要將CFBundlePackageType改為BRPL。因為MAC OS X還可運行在ppc架構(gòu)上，所以最好能編寫成universal版，這樣就不用考慮平臺問題了。
至此，這個接口就算完成了，能夠在三個平臺上工作。
