+// Overview
+// --------
+// This file measures the speed of various implementations of C++ and Rust
+// collections (hash tables, etc.) used within the codebase. There are a small
+// number of benchmarks for each collection type; each benchmark tests certain
+// operations (insertion, lookup, iteration, etc.) More benchmarks could easily
+// be envisioned, but this small number is enough to characterize the major
+// differences between implementations, while keeping the file size and
+// complexity low.
+//
+// Details
+// -------
+// The file uses `MOZ_GTEST_BENCH_F` so that results are integrated into
+// PerfHerder. It is also designed so that individual test benchmarks can be
+// run under a profiler.
+//
+// The C++ code uses `MOZ_RELEASE_ASSERT` extensively to check values and
+// ensure operations aren't optimized away by the compiler. The Rust code uses
+// `assert!()`. These should be roughly equivalent, but aren't guaranteed to be
+// the same. As a result, the intra-C++ comparisons should be reliable, and the
+// intra-Rust comparisons should be reliable, but the C++ vs. Rust comparisons
+// may be less reliable.
+//
+// Note that the Rust implementations run very slowly without --enable-release.
+//
+// Profiling
+// ---------
+// If you want to measure a particular implementation under a profiler such as
+// Callgrind, do something like this:
+//
+//   MOZ_RUN_GTEST=1 GTEST_FILTER='*BenchCollections*$IMPL*'
+//       valgrind --tool=callgrind --callgrind-out-file=clgout
+//       $OBJDIR/dist/bin/firefox -unittest
+//   callgrind_annotate --auto=yes clgout > clgann
+//
+// where $IMPL is part of an implementation name in a test (e.g. "PLDHash",
+// "MozHash") and $OBJDIR is an objdir containing a --enable-release build.
+//
+// Note that multiple processes are spawned, so `clgout` gets overwritten
+// multiple times, but the last process to write its profiling data to file is
+// the one of interest. (Alternatively, use --callgrind-out-file=clgout.%p to
+// get separate output files for each process, with a PID suffix.)

+/// moz_task::spawn_local("Example", async move {

+
+//! 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.

+//! This module contains the xpcom interfaces exposed to rust code.
+//!
+//! The items in this module come in a few flavours:
+//!
+//! 1. `nsI*`: These are the types for XPCOM interfaces. They should always be
+//!    passed behind a reference, pointer, or `RefPtr`. They may be coerced to
+//!    their base interfaces using the `coerce` method.
+//!
+//! 2. `nsI*Coerce`: These traits provide the implementation mechanics for the
+//!    `coerce` method, and can usually be ignored. *These traits are hidden in
+//!    rustdoc*
+//!
+//! 3. `nsI*VTable`: These structs are the vtable definitions for each type.
+//!    They contain the base interface's vtable, followed by pointers for each
+//!    of the vtable's methods. If direct access is needed, a `*const nsI*` can
+//!    be safely transmuted to a `*const nsI*VTable`. *These structs are hidden
+//!    in rustdoc*
+//!
+//! 4. Typedefs used in idl file definitions.

+///

+/// ```ignore

+///   nsIVariant foo(in AUTF8String bar, [optional] in bool baz);

+
+//! This crate provides the `#[xpcom]` custom attribute. This custom attribute
+//! is used in order to implement [`xpcom`] interfaces.
+//!
+//! # Usage
+//!
+//! The easiest way to explain this crate is probably with a usage example. I'll
+//! show you the example, and then we'll destructure it and walk through what
+//! each component is doing.
+//!
+//! ```ignore
+//! // Declaring an XPCOM Struct
+//! #[xpcom(implement(nsIRunnable), atomic)]
+//! struct ImplRunnable {
+//!     i: i32,
+//! }
+//!
+//! // Implementing methods on an XPCOM Struct
+//! impl ImplRunnable {
+//!     unsafe fn Run(&self) -> nsresult {
+//!         println!("{}", self.i);
+//!         NS_OK
+//!     }
+//! }
+//! ```
+//!
+//! ## Declaring an XPCOM Struct
+//!
+//! ```ignore
+//! // This derive should be placed on the initialization struct in order to
+//! // trigger the procedural macro.
+//! #[xpcom(
+//!     // The implement argument should be passed the names of the IDL
+//!     // interfaces which you want to implement. These can be separated by
+//!     // commas if you want to implement multiple interfaces.
+//!     //
+//!     // Some methods use types which we cannot bind to in rust. Interfaces
+//!     // like those cannot be implemented, and a compile-time error will occur
+//!     // if they are listed in this attribute.
+//!     implement(nsIRunnable),
+//!
+//!     // The refcount kind can be specified as one of the following values:
+//!     //  * `atomic` == atomic reference count
+//!     //    ~= NS_DECL_THREADSAFE_ISUPPORTS in C++
+//!     //  * `nonatomic` == non atomic reference count
+//!     //    ~= NS_DECL_ISUPPORTS in C++
+//!     atomic,
+//! )]
+//!
+//! // It is a compile time error to put the `#[xpcom]` attribute on
+//! // an enum, union, or tuple struct.
+//! //
+//! // The macro will generate both the named struct, as well as a version with
+//! // its name prefixed with `Init` which can be used to initialize the type.
+//! struct ImplRunnable {
+//!     i: i32,
+//! }
+//! ```
+//!
+//! The above example will generate `ImplRunnable` and `InitImplRunnable`
+//! structs. The `ImplRunnable` struct will implement the [`nsIRunnable`] XPCOM
+//! interface, and cannot be constructed directly.
+//!
+//! The following methods will be automatically implemented on it:
+//!
+//! ```ignore
+//! // Automatic nsISupports implementation
+//! unsafe fn AddRef(&self) -> MozExternalRefCountType;
+//! unsafe fn Release(&self) -> MozExternalRefCountType;
+//! unsafe fn QueryInterface(&self, uuid: &nsIID, result: *mut *mut libc::c_void) -> nsresult;
+//!
+//! // Allocates and initializes a new instance of this type. The values will
+//! // be moved from the `Init` struct which is passed in.
+//! fn allocate(init: InitImplRunnable) -> RefPtr<Self>;
+//!
+//! // Helper for performing the `query_interface` operation to case to a
+//! // specific interface.
+//! fn query_interface<T: XpCom>(&self) -> Option<RefPtr<T>>;
+//!
+//! // Coerce function for cheaply casting to our base interfaces.
+//! fn coerce<T: ImplRunnableCoerce>(&self) -> &T;
+//! ```
+//!
+//! The [`RefCounted`] interface will also be implemented, so that the type can
+//! be used within the [`RefPtr`] type.
+//!
+//! The `coerce` and `query_interface` methods are backed by the generated
+//! `*Coerce` trait. This trait is impl-ed for every interface implemented by
+//! the trait. For example:
+//!
+//! ```ignore
+//! pub trait ImplRunnableCoerce {
+//!     fn coerce_from(x: &ImplRunnable) -> &Self;
+//! }
+//! impl ImplRunnableCoerce for nsIRunnable { .. }
+//! impl ImplRunnableCoerce for nsISupports { .. }
+//! ```
+//!
+//! ## Implementing methods on an XPCOM Struct
+//!
+//! ```ignore
+//! // Methods should be implemented directly on the generated struct. All
+//! // methods other than `AddRef`, `Release`, and `QueryInterface` must be
+//! // implemented manually.
+//! impl ImplRunnable {
+//!     // The method should have the same name as the corresponding C++ method.
+//!     unsafe fn Run(&self) -> nsresult {
+//!         // Fields defined on the template struct will be directly on the
+//!         // generated struct.
+//!         println!("{}", self.i);
+//!         NS_OK
+//!     }
+//! }
+//! ```
+//!
+//! XPCOM methods implemented in Rust have signatures similar to methods
+//! implemented in C++.
+//!
+//! ```ignore
+//! // nsISupports foo(in long long bar, in AString baz);
+//! unsafe fn Foo(&self, bar: i64, baz: *const nsAString,
+//!               _retval: *mut *const nsISupports) -> nsresult;
+//!
+//! // AString qux(in nsISupports ham);
+//! unsafe fn Qux(&self, ham: *const nsISupports,
+//!               _retval: *mut nsAString) -> nsresult;
+//! ```
+//!
+//! This is a little tedious, so the `xpcom_method!` macro provides a convenient
+//! way to generate wrappers around more idiomatic Rust methods.
