/**
* |Shmem| is one agent in the IPDL shared memory scheme. The way it
works is essentially
*
* (1) C++ code calls, say, |parentActor->AllocShmem(size)|
* (2) IPDL-generated code creates a |mozilla::ipc::SharedMemory|
* wrapping the bare OS shmem primitives. The code then adds the new
* SharedMemory to the set of shmem segments being managed by IPDL.
*
* (3) IPDL-generated code "shares" the new SharedMemory to the child
* process, and then sends a special asynchronous IPC message to the
* child notifying it of the creation of the segment. (What this
* means is OS specific.)
*
* (4a) The child receives the special IPC message, and using the
* |mozilla::ipc::SharedMemoryHandle| (which is an fd or HANDLE) it
* was passed, creates a |mozilla::ipc::SharedMemory| in the child
* process.
*
* (4b) After sending the "shmem-created" IPC message, IPDL-generated
* code in the parent returns a |mozilla::ipc::Shmem| back to the C++
* caller of |parentActor->AllocShmem()|. The |Shmem| is a "weak
* reference" to the underlying |SharedMemory|, which is managed by
* IPDL-generated code. C++ consumers of |Shmem| can't get at the
* underlying |SharedMemory|.
*
* If parent code wants to give access rights to the Shmem to the
* child, it does so by sending its |Shmem| to the child, in an IPDL
* message. The parent's |Shmem| then "dies", i.e. becomes
* inaccessible. This process could be compared to passing a
* "shmem-access baton" between parent and child.
