+// GC Policy Mechanism
+
+// A GCPolicy controls how the GC interacts with both direct pointers to GC
+// things (e.g. JSObject* or JSString*), tagged and/or optional pointers to GC
+// things (e.g. Value or jsid), and C++ container types (e.g.
+// JSPropertyDescriptor or GCHashMap).
+//
+// The GCPolicy provides at a minimum:
+//
+// static void trace(JSTracer, T* tp, const char* name)
+// - Trace the edge |*tp|, calling the edge |name|. Containers like
+// GCHashMap and GCHashSet use this method to trace their children.
+//
+// static bool needsSweep(T* tp)
+// - [DEPRECATED], use traceWeak instead.
+// Return true if |*tp| is about to be finalized. Otherwise, update the
+// edge for moving GC, and return false. Containers like GCHashMap and
+// GCHashSet use this method to decide when to remove an entry: if this
+// function returns true on a key/value/member/etc, its entry is dropped
+// from the container. Specializing this method is the standard way to
+// get custom weak behavior from a container type.
+//
+// static bool traceWeak(T* tp)
+// - Return false if |*tp| has been set to nullptr. Otherwise, update the
+// edge for moving GC, and return true. Containers like GCHashMap and
+// GCHashSet use this method to decide when to remove an entry: if this
+// function returns false on a key/value/member/etc, its entry is
+// dropped from the container. Specializing this method is the standard
+// way to get custom weak behavior from a container type.
+//
+// static bool isValid(const T& t)
+// - Return false only if |t| is corrupt in some way. The built-in GC
+// types do some memory layout checks. For debugging only; it is ok
+// to always return true or even to omit this member entirely.
+//
+// The default GCPolicy<T> assumes that T has a default constructor and |trace|
+// and |traceWeak| methods, and forwards to them. GCPolicy has appropriate
+// specializations for pointers to GC things and pointer-like types like
+// JS::Heap<T> and mozilla::UniquePtr<T>.
+//
+// There are some stock structs your specializations can inherit from.
+// IgnoreGCPolicy<T> does nothing. StructGCPolicy<T> forwards the methods to the
+// referent type T.
