/**
 * nsStringContainer
 *
 * This is an opaque data type that is large enough to hold the canonical
 * implementation of nsAString.  The binary structure of this class is an
 * implementation detail.
 *
 * The string data stored in a string container is always single fragment
 * and may be null-terminated depending on how it is initialized.
 *
 * Typically, string containers are allocated on the stack for temporary
 * use.  However, they can also be malloc'd if necessary.  In either case,
 * a string container is not useful until it has been initialized with a
 * call to NS_StringContainerInit.  The following example shows how to use
 * a string container to call a function that takes a |nsAString &| out-param.
 *
 *   NS_METHOD GetBlah(nsAString &aBlah);
 *
 *   nsresult MyCode()
 *   {
 *     nsresult rv;
 *
 *     nsStringContainer sc;
 *     rv = NS_StringContainerInit(sc);
 *     if (NS_FAILED(rv))
 *       return rv;
 *
 *     rv = GetBlah(sc);
 *     if (NS_SUCCEEDED(rv))
 *     {
 *       const PRUnichar *data;
 *       NS_StringGetData(sc, &data);
 *       //
 *       // |data| now points to the result of the GetBlah function
 *       //
 *     }
 *
 *     NS_StringContainerFinish(sc);
 *     return rv;
 *   }
 *
 * The following example show how to use a string container to pass a string
 * parameter to a function taking a |const nsAString &| in-param.
 *
 *   NS_METHOD SetBlah(const nsAString &aBlah);
 *
 *   nsresult MyCode()
 *   {
 *     nsresult rv;
 *
 *     nsStringContainer sc;
 *     rv = NS_StringContainerInit(sc);
 *     if (NS_FAILED(rv))
 *       return rv;
 *
 *     const PRUnichar kData[] = {'x','y','z','\0'};
 *     rv = NS_StringSetData(sc, kData, sizeof(kData)/2 - 1);
 *     if (NS_SUCCEEDED(rv))
 *       rv = SetBlah(sc);
 *
