//! This module provides rust bindings for the XPCOM string types.
//!
//! # TL;DR (what types should I use)
//!
//! Use `&{mut,} nsA[C]String` for functions in rust which wish to take or
//! mutate XPCOM strings. The other string types `Deref` to this type.
//!
//! Use `ns[C]String` (`ns[C]String` in C++) for string struct members, and as
//! an intermediate between rust string data structures (such as `String` or
//! `Vec<u16>`) and `&{mut,} nsA[C]String` (using `ns[C]String::from(value)`).
//! These conversions will attempt to re-use the passed-in buffer, appending a
//! null.
//!
//! Use `ns[C]Str` (`nsDependent[C]String` in C++) as an intermediate between
//! borrowed rust data structures (such as `&str` and `&[u16]`) and `&{mut,}
//! nsA[C]String` (using `ns[C]Str::from(value)`). These conversions should not
//! perform any allocations. This type is not safe to share with `C++` as a
//! struct field, but passing the borrowed `&{mut,} nsA[C]String` over FFI is
//! safe.
//!
//! Use `*{const,mut} nsA[C]String` (`{const,} nsA[C]String*` in C++) for
//! function arguments passed across the rust/C++ language boundary.
//!
//! There is currently no Rust equivalent to nsAuto[C]String. Implementing a
//! type that contains a pointer to an inline buffer is difficult in Rust due
//! to its move semantics, which require that it be safe to move a value by
//! copying its bits. If such a type is genuinely needed at some point,
//! https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1403506#c6 has a sketch of how
//! to emulate it via macros.
//!
//! # String Types
//!
//! ## `nsA[C]String`
//!
//! The core types in this module are `nsAString` and `nsACString`. These types
//! are zero-sized as far as rust is concerned, and are safe to pass around
//! behind both references (in rust code), and pointers (in C++ code). They
//! represent a handle to a XPCOM string which holds either `u16` or `u8`
//! characters respectively. The backing character buffer is guaranteed to live
//! as long as the reference to the `nsAString` or `nsACString`.
//!
//! These types in rust are simply used as dummy types. References to them
//! represent a pointer to the beginning of a variable-sized `#[repr(C)]` struct
//! which is common between both C++ and Rust implementations. In C++, their
//! corresponding types are also named `nsAString` or `nsACString`, and they are
//! defined within the `nsTSubstring.{cpp,h}` file.
//!
//! ### Valid Operations
//!
//! An `&nsA[C]String` acts like rust's `&str`, in that it is a borrowed
//! reference to the backing data. When used as an argument to other functions
//! on `&mut nsA[C]String`, optimizations can be performed to avoid copying
//! buffers, as information about the backing storage is preserved.
//!
//! An `&mut nsA[C]String` acts like rust's `&mut Cow<str>`, in that it is a
//! mutable reference to a potentially borrowed string, which when modified will
//! ensure that it owns its own backing storage. This type can be appended to
//! with the methods `.append`, `.append_utf{8,16}`, and with the `write!`
//! macro, and can be assigned to with `.assign`.
//!
//! ## `ns[C]Str<'a>`
//!
//! This type is an maybe-owned string type. It acts similarially to a
//! `Cow<[{u8,u16}]>`. This type provides `Deref` and `DerefMut` implementations
//! to `nsA[C]String`, which provides the methods for manipulating this type.
//! This type's lifetime parameter, `'a`, represents the lifetime of the backing
//! storage. When modified this type may re-allocate in order to ensure that it
//! does not mutate its backing storage.
//!
//! `ns[C]Str`s can be constructed either with `ns[C]Str::new()`, which creates
//! an empty `ns[C]Str<'static>`, or through one of the provided `From`
//! implementations. Only `nsCStr` can be constructed `From<'a str>`, as
//! constructing a `nsStr` would require transcoding. Use `ns[C]String` instead.
//!
//! When passing this type by reference, prefer passing a `&nsA[C]String` or
//! `&mut nsA[C]String`. to passing this type.
//!
//! When passing this type across the language boundary, pass it as `*const
//! nsA[C]String` for an immutable reference, or `*mut nsA[C]String` for a
//! mutable reference.
//!
//! ## `ns[C]String`
//!
//! This type is an owned, null-terminated string type. This type provides
//! `Deref` and `DerefMut` implementations to `nsA[C]String`, which provides the
//! methods for manipulating this type.
//!
//! `ns[C]String`s can be constructed either with `ns[C]String::new()`, which
//! creates an empty `ns[C]String`, or through one of the provided `From`
//! implementations, which will try to avoid reallocating when possible,
//! although a terminating `null` will be added.
//!
//! When passing this type by reference, prefer passing a `&nsA[C]String` or
//! `&mut nsA[C]String`. to passing this type.
//!
//! When passing this type across the language boundary, pass it as `*const
//! nsA[C]String` for an immutable reference, or `*mut nsA[C]String` for a
//! mutable reference. This struct may also be included in `#[repr(C)]` structs
//! shared with C++.
//!
//! ## `ns[C]StringRepr`
//!
//! This crate also provides the type `ns[C]StringRepr` which acts conceptually
//! similar to an `ns[C]String`, however, it does not have a `Drop`
//! implementation.
//!
//! If this type is dropped in rust, it will not free its backing storage. This
//! can be useful when implementing FFI types which contain `ns[C]String` members
//! which invoke their member's destructors through C++ code.
