Andrew McCreight 5848fe3b73 Bug 1276318, part 2 - Fix mode lines in ipc/glue. r=billm
MessageChannel.{h,cpp}, MessageLink.{h,cpp}, and ProtocolUtils.h are
using 4-space indent so I left those alone.

// RAII helper class that serializes an nsIInputStream into an IPCStream struct.
// Any file descriptor or PSendStream actors are automatically managed
// correctly.
//
// Here is a simple example:
//
// // in ipdl file
// Protocol PMyStuff
// {
// parent:
// async DoStuff(IPCStream aStream);
// child:
// async StuffDone(IPCStream aStream);
// };
//
// // in child c++ code
// void CallDoStuff(PMyStuffChild* aActor, nsIInputStream* aStream)
// {
// AutoIPCStream autoStream;
// autoStream.Serialize(aStream, aActor->Manager());
// aActor->SendDoStuff(autoStream.TakeValue());
// }
//
// // in parent c++ code
// bool
// MyStuffParent::RecvDoStuff(const IPCStream& aIPCStream) {
// nsCOMPtr<nsIInputStream> stream = DeserializeIPCStream(aIPCStream);
// // Do something with stream...
//
// // You can also serialize streams from parent-to-child as long as
// // they don't require PSendStream actor support.
// AutoIPCStream anotherStream;
// anotherStream.Serialize(mFileStream, Manager());
// SendStuffDone(anotherStream.TakeValue());
// }
//
// The AutoIPCStream RAII class may also be used if your stream is embedded
// in a more complex IPDL structure. In this case you attach the AutoIPCStream
// to the embedded IPCStream and call TakeValue() after you pass the structure.
// For example:
//
// // in ipdl file
// struct Stuff
// {
// IPCStream stream;
// nsCString name;
// };
//
// Protocol PMyStuff
// {
// parent:
// async DoStuff(Stuff aStream);
// };
//
// // in child c++ code
// void CallDoStuff(PMyStuffChild* aActor, nsIInputStream* aStream)
// {
// Stuff stuff;
// AutoIPCStream autoStream(stuff.stream()); // attach to IPCStream here
// autoStream.Serialize(aStream, aActor->Manager());
// aActor->SendDoStuff(stuff);
// autoStream.TakeValue(); // call take value after send
// }
//
// // in parent c++ code
// bool
// MyStuffParent::RecvDoStuff(const Stuff& aStuff) {
// nsCOMPtr<nsIInputStream> stream = DeserializeIPCStream(aStuff.stream());
// /* do something with the nsIInputStream */
// }
//
// The AutoIPCStream class also supports OptionalIPCStream values. As long as
// you did not initialize the object with a non-optional IPCStream, you can call
// TakeOptionalValue() instead.
//
// The AutoIPCStream class can also be used to serialize nsIInputStream objects
// on the parent side to send to the child. Currently, however, this only
// works for directly serializable stream types. The PSendStream actor mechanism
// is not supported in this direction yet.
//
// Like SerializeInputStream(), the AutoIPCStream will crash if
// serialization cannot be completed.
//
// NOTE: This is not a MOZ_STACK_CLASS so that it can be more easily integrated
// with complex ipdl structures. For example, you may want to create an
// array of RAII AutoIPCStream objects or build your own wrapping
// RAII object to handle other actors that need to be cleaned up.
