/**
|
|
* Interface documentation:
|
|
*
|
|
* |nsXPIDLC?String| differs from |nsSharableC?String| in that one can
|
|
* assign into it from an XPCOM getter that fills in a |char_type**|
|
|
* with a pointer to a buffer whose ownership is to be transferred to
|
|
* the caller.
|
|
*
|
|
* Consider the following interface:
|
|
*
|
|
* interface nsIFoo {
|
|
* attribute string Bar;
|
|
* };
|
|
*
|
|
* This will generate the following C++ header file:
|
|
*
|
|
* class nsIFoo {
|
|
* NS_IMETHOD SetBar(const PRUnichar* aValue);
|
|
* NS_IMETHOD GetBar(PRUnichar* *aValue);
|
|
* };
|
|
*
|
|
* The GetBar() method will allocate a copy of the nsIFoo object's
|
|
* "bar" attribute, and leave you to deal with freeing it:
|
|
*
|
|
* nsIFoo* aFoo; // assume we get this somehow
|
|
* PRUnichar* bar;
|
|
* aFoo->GetFoo(&bar);
|
|
* do_something_with_buffer(bar);
|
|
* nsMemory::Free(bar);
|
|
*
|
|
* This makes your life harder, because you need to convolute your
|
|
* code to ensure that you don't leak `bar'.
|
|
*
|
|
* Enter nsXPIDLString, which manages the ownership of the allocated
|
|
* string, and automatically destroys it when the nsXPIDLString goes
|
|
* out of scope:
|
|
*
|
|
* nsIFoo* aFoo; // assume we get this somehow
|
|
* nsXPIDLString bar;
|
|
* aFoo->GetFoo( getter_Copies(bar) );
|
|
* do_something_with_buffer(bar.get());
|
|
* // no need to remember to nsMemory::Free().
|
|
*
|
|
* Like nsCOMPtr, nsXPIDLString uses some syntactic sugar to make it
|
|
* painfully clear exactly what the code expects. You need to wrap an
|
|
* nsXPIDLString object with `getter_Copies()' before passing it to a
|
|
* getter: these tell the nsXPIDLString how ownership is being
|
|
* handled.
|
|
*
|
|
* In the case of `getter_Copies()', the callee is allocating a copy
|
|
* (which is usually the case). In the case where the callee is
|
|
* returning a const reference to `the real deal' (this can be done
|
|
* using the [shared] attribute in XPIDL) you can just use a
|
|
* |const char*| or |const PRUnichar*|.

/**
|
|
* Implementation notes:
|
|
*
|
|
* |nsXPIDLC?String| extends |nsSharableC?String| with the ability
|
|
* to defer calculation of its length. This is crucial to allowing
|
|
* the |getter_Copies| assignment behavior.
|
|
*
|
|
* The mechanism relies on the fact that |GetSharedBufferHandle|
|
|
* must be called before any other object can share the buffer,
|
|
* and as the default implementation for |GetBufferHandle|, which is
|
|
* the operation on which all other flat string operations are based.
|
|
* A valid handle will either have all |NULL| or all non-|NULL|
|
|
* pointers. After use as an `out' string pointer parameter, an
|
|
* |nsXPIDLC?String|'s handle will have a non-|NULL| data start, but
|
|
* all other members will be |NULL|. This is the signal that the
|
|
* length needs to be recalculated. |GetSharedBufferHandle| detects
|
|
* this situation and repairs it.
|
|
*
|
|
* The one situation this _doesn't_ catch, is if no one ever tries to use
|
|
* the string before it's destruction. In this case, because the start of
|
|
* storage is known, storage can still be freed in the usual way.
|
|
*
|
|
* An |nsXPIDLC?String| is now a sharable object, just like
|
|
* |nsSharableC?String|.
|
|
* This simple implementation always allocates an intermediary handle
|
|
* object. This cost might turn out to be a burden, it's something we'll
|
|
* want to measure. A couple of optimizations spring to mind if allocation
|
|
* of the handle objects shows up on the performance radar:
|
|
* (1) introduce a custom allocator for the handles, e.g., keep free lists
|
|
* or arena allocate them, or (2) fatten up the |nsXPIDLC?String| with a
|
|
* local handle, and only allocate a shared handle in the event that
|
|
* someone actually wants to share. Both of these alternatives add
|
|
* complexity or space costs, and so we start with the simplest thing
|
|
* that could possibly work :-)
