 * MOZ_DELETE, specified immediately prior to the ';' terminating an undefined-
 * method declaration, attempts to delete that method from the corresponding
 * class.  An attempt to use the method will always produce an error *at compile
 * time* (instead of sometimes as late as link time) when this macro can be
 * implemented.  For example, you can use MOZ_DELETE to produce classes with no
 * implicit copy constructor or assignment operator:
 *
 *   struct NonCopyable
 *   {
 *     private:
 *       NonCopyable(const NonCopyable& other) MOZ_DELETE;
 *       void operator=(const NonCopyable& other) MOZ_DELETE;
 *   };
 *
 * If MOZ_DELETE can't be implemented for the current compiler, use of the
 * annotated method will still cause an error, but the error might occur at link
 * time in some cases rather than at compile time.
 *
 * MOZ_DELETE relies on C++11 functionality not universally implemented.  As a
 * backstop, method declarations using MOZ_DELETE should be private.

/*
 * MOZ_FINAL indicates that some functionality cannot be overridden through
 * inheritance.  It can be used to annotate either classes/structs or virtual
 * member functions.
 *
 * To annotate a class/struct with MOZ_FINAL, place MOZ_FINAL immediately after
 * the name of the class, before the list of classes from which it derives (if
 * any) and before its opening brace.  MOZ_FINAL must not be used to annotate
 * unnamed classes or structs.  (With some compilers, and with C++11 proper, the
 * underlying expansion is ambiguous with specifying a class name.)
 *
 *   class Base MOZ_FINAL
 *   {
 *     public:
 *       Base();
 *       ~Base();
 *       virtual void f() { }
 *   };
 *   // This will be an error in some compilers:
 *   class Derived : public Base
 *   {
 *     public:
 *       ~Derived() { }
 *   };
 *
 * One particularly common reason to specify MOZ_FINAL upon a class is to tell
 * the compiler that it's not dangerous for it to have a non-virtual destructor
 * yet have one or more virtual functions, silencing the warning it might emit
 * in this case.  Suppose Base above weren't annotated with MOZ_FINAL.  Because
 * ~Base() is non-virtual, an attempt to delete a Derived* through a Base*
 * wouldn't call ~Derived(), so any cleanup ~Derived() might do wouldn't happen.
 * (Formally C++ says behavior is undefined, but compilers will likely just call
 * ~Base() and not ~Derived().)  Specifying MOZ_FINAL tells the compiler that
 * it's safe for the destructor to be non-virtual.
 *
 * In compilers implementing final controls, it is an error to inherit from a
 * class annotated with MOZ_FINAL.  In other compilers it serves only as
 * documentation.
 *
 * To annotate a virtual member function with MOZ_FINAL, place MOZ_FINAL
 * immediately before the ';' terminating the member function's declaration, or
 * before '= 0;' if the member function is pure.  If the member function is
 * defined in the class definition, it should appear before the opening brace of
 * the function body.  (This placement is identical to that for MOZ_OVERRIDE.
 * If both are used, they should appear in the order 'MOZ_FINAL MOZ_OVERRIDE'
 * for consistency.)
 *
 *   class Base
 *   {
 *     public:
 *       virtual void f() MOZ_FINAL;
 *   };
 *   class Derived
 *   {
 *     public:
 *       // This will be an error in some compilers:
 *       virtual void f();
 *   };
 *
 * In compilers implementing final controls, it is an error for a derived class
 * to override a method annotated with MOZ_FINAL.  In other compilers it serves
 * only as documentation.
