// The SendStream IPC actor is designed to push an nsIInputStream from child to
|
|
// parent incrementally. This is mainly needed for streams such as nsPipe that
|
|
// may not yet have all their data available when the stream must be sent across
|
|
// an IPC boundary. While many streams are handled by SerializeInputStream(),
|
|
// these streams cannot be serialized and must be sent using this actor.
|
|
//
|
|
// The SendStream actor only supports sending data from child to parent.
|
|
//
|
|
// The SendStream actor only support async, non-blocking streams because they
|
|
// must be read inline on the main thread and Worker threads.
|
|
//
|
|
// In general, the creation and handling of the SendStream actor cannot be
|
|
// abstracted away behind SerializeInputStream() because the actor must be
|
|
// carefully managed. Specifically:
|
|
//
|
|
// 1) The data flow must be explicitly initiated by calling
|
|
// SendStreamChild::Start() after the actor has been sent to the parent.
|
|
// 2) If the actor is never sent to the parent, then the child code must
|
|
// call SendStreamChild::StartDestroy() to avoid memory leaks.
|
|
// 3) The SendStreamChild actor can only be used on threads that can be
|
|
// guaranteed to stay alive as long as the actor is alive. Right now
|
|
// this limits SendStream to the main thread and Worker threads.
|
|
//

|
|
// defined in InputStreamUtils.h instead of using SendStreamChild directly.
