+ *
+ * Attributes that apply to types follow the type name:
+ *
+ * typedef int MOZ_TYPE_ATTRIBUTE MagicInt;
+ * int MOZ_TYPE_ATTRIBUTE someVariable;
+ * int* MOZ_TYPE_ATTRIBUTE magicPtrInt;
+ * int MOZ_TYPE_ATTRIBUTE* ptrToMagicInt;

+ * Attributes that apply to statements precede the statement:

+ * MOZ_DO_ATTRIBUTE do { } while (0);
+ *
+ * Attributes that apply to labels precede the label:
+ *
+ * MOZ_LABEL_ATTRIBUTE target:
+ * goto target;
+ * MOZ_CASE_ATTRIBUTE case 5:
+ * MOZ_DEFAULT_ATTRIBUTE default:
+ *
+ * The static analyses that are performed by the plugin are as follows:
+ *
+ * MOZ_CAN_RUN_SCRIPT: Applies to functions which can run script. Callers of
+ * this function must also be marked as MOZ_CAN_RUN_SCRIPT, and all refcounted
+ * arguments must be strongly held in the caller. Note that MOZ_CAN_RUN_SCRIPT
+ * should only be applied to function declarations, not definitions. If you
+ * need to apply it to a definition (eg because both are generated by a macro)
+ * use MOZ_CAN_RUN_SCRIPT_FOR_DEFINITION.
+ *
+ * MOZ_CAN_RUN_SCRIPT can be applied to XPIDL-generated declarations by
+ * annotating the method or attribute as [can_run_script] in the .idl file.
+ *
+ * MOZ_CAN_RUN_SCRIPT_FOR_DEFINITION: Same as MOZ_CAN_RUN_SCRIPT, but usable on
+ * a definition. If the declaration is in a header file, users of that header
+ * file may not see the annotation.
+ * MOZ_CAN_RUN_SCRIPT_BOUNDARY: Applies to functions which need to call
+ * MOZ_CAN_RUN_SCRIPT functions, but should not themselves be considered
+ * MOZ_CAN_RUN_SCRIPT. This should generally be avoided but can be used in
+ * two cases:
+ * 1) As a temporary measure to limit the scope of changes when adding
+ * MOZ_CAN_RUN_SCRIPT. Such a use must be accompanied by a follow-up bug
+ * to replace the MOZ_CAN_RUN_SCRIPT_BOUNDARY with MOZ_CAN_RUN_SCRIPT and
+ * a comment linking to that bug.
+ * 2) If we can reason that the MOZ_CAN_RUN_SCRIPT callees of the function
+ * do not in fact run script (for example, because their behavior depends
+ * on arguments and we pass the arguments that don't allow script
+ * execution). Such a use must be accompanied by a comment that explains
+ * why it's OK to have the MOZ_CAN_RUN_SCRIPT_BOUNDARY, as well as
+ * comments in the callee pointing out that if its behavior changes the
+ * caller might need adjusting. And perhaps also a followup bug to
+ * refactor things so the "script" and "no script" codepaths do not share
+ * a chokepoint.
+ * Importantly, any use MUST be accompanied by a comment explaining why it's
+ * there, and should ideally have an action plan for getting rid of the
+ * MOZ_CAN_RUN_SCRIPT_BOUNDARY annotation.
+ * MOZ_MUST_OVERRIDE: Applies to all C++ member functions. All immediate
+ * subclasses must provide an exact override of this method; if a subclass
+ * does not override this method, the compiler will emit an error. This
+ * attribute is not limited to virtual methods, so if it is applied to a
+ * nonvirtual method and the subclass does not provide an equivalent
+ * definition, the compiler will emit an error.
+ * MOZ_STATIC_CLASS: Applies to all classes. Any class with this annotation is
+ * expected to live in static memory, so it is a compile-time error to use
+ * it, or an array of such objects, as the type of a variable declaration, or
+ * as a temporary object, or as the type of a new expression (unless
+ * placement new is being used). If a member of another class uses this
+ * class, or if another class inherits from this class, then it is considered
+ * to be a static class as well, although this attribute need not be provided
+ * in such cases.
+ * MOZ_STATIC_LOCAL_CLASS: Applies to all classes. Any class with this
+ * annotation is expected to be a static local variable, so it is
+ * a compile-time error to use it, or an array of such objects, or as a
+ * temporary object, or as the type of a new expression. If another class
+ * inherits from this class then it is considered to be a static local
+ * class as well, although this attribute need not be provided in such cases.
+ * It is also a compile-time error for any class with this annotation to have
+ * a non-trivial destructor.
+ * MOZ_STACK_CLASS: Applies to all classes. Any class with this annotation is
+ * expected to live on the stack, so it is a compile-time error to use it, or
+ * an array of such objects, as a global or static variable, or as the type of
+ * a new expression (unless placement new is being used). If a member of

+ * temporary object. If a member of another class uses this class, or if
+ * another class inherits from this class, then it is considered to be a heap
+ * class as well, although this attribute need not be provided in such cases.
+ * MOZ_NON_TEMPORARY_CLASS: Applies to all classes. Any class with this
+ * annotation is expected not to live in a temporary. If a member of another
+ * class uses this class or if another class inherits from this class, then it
+ * is considered to be a non-temporary class as well, although this attribute
+ * need not be provided in such cases.
+ * MOZ_TEMPORARY_CLASS: Applies to all classes. Any class with this annotation
+ * is expected to only live in a temporary. If another class inherits from
+ * this class, then it is considered to be a temporary class as well, although
+ * this attribute need not be provided in such cases.
+ * MOZ_RAII: Applies to all classes. Any class with this annotation is assumed
+ * to be a RAII guard, which is expected to live on the stack in an automatic
+ * allocation. It is prohibited from being allocated in a temporary, static
+ * storage, or on the heap. This is a combination of MOZ_STACK_CLASS and
+ * MOZ_NON_TEMPORARY_CLASS.
+ * MOZ_ONLY_USED_TO_AVOID_STATIC_CONSTRUCTORS: Applies to all classes that are
+ * intended to prevent introducing static initializers. This attribute
+ * currently makes it a compile-time error to instantiate these classes
+ * anywhere other than at the global scope, or as a static member of a class.
+ * In non-debug mode, it also prohibits non-trivial constructors and
+ * destructors.
+ * MOZ_TRIVIAL_CTOR_DTOR: Applies to all classes that must have both a trivial
+ * or constexpr constructor and a trivial destructor. Setting this attribute
+ * on a class makes it a compile-time error for that class to get a
+ * non-trivial constructor or destructor for any reason.
+ * MOZ_ALLOW_TEMPORARY: Applies to constructors. This indicates that using the
+ * constructor is allowed in temporary expressions, if it would have otherwise
+ * been forbidden by the type being a MOZ_NON_TEMPORARY_CLASS. Useful for
+ * constructors like Maybe(Nothing).
+ * MOZ_HEAP_ALLOCATOR: Applies to any function. This indicates that the return
+ * value is allocated on the heap, and will as a result check such allocations
+ * during MOZ_STACK_CLASS and MOZ_NONHEAP_CLASS annotation checking.
+ * MOZ_IMPLICIT: Applies to constructors. Implicit conversion constructors
+ * are disallowed by default unless they are marked as MOZ_IMPLICIT. This
+ * attribute must be used for constructors which intend to provide implicit
+ * conversions.
+ * MOZ_IS_REFPTR: Applies to class declarations of ref pointer to mark them as
+ * such for use with static-analysis.
+ * A ref pointer is an object wrapping a pointer and automatically taking care
+ * of its refcounting upon construction/destruction/transfer of ownership.
+ * This annotation implies MOZ_IS_SMARTPTR_TO_REFCOUNTED.
+ * MOZ_IS_SMARTPTR_TO_REFCOUNTED: Applies to class declarations of smart
+ * pointers to ref counted classes to mark them as such for use with
+ * static-analysis.
+ * MOZ_NO_ARITHMETIC_EXPR_IN_ARGUMENT: Applies to functions. Makes it a compile
+ * time error to pass arithmetic expressions on variables to the function.
+ * MOZ_OWNING_REF: Applies to declarations of pointers to reference counted
+ * types. This attribute tells the compiler that the raw pointer is a strong
+ * reference, where ownership through methods such as AddRef and Release is
+ * managed manually. This can make the compiler ignore these pointers when
+ * validating the usage of pointers otherwise.
+ *
+ * Example uses include owned pointers inside of unions, and pointers stored
+ * in POD types where a using a smart pointer class would make the object
+ * non-POD.
+ * MOZ_NON_OWNING_REF: Applies to declarations of pointers to reference counted
+ * types. This attribute tells the compiler that the raw pointer is a weak
+ * reference, which is ensured to be valid by a guarantee that the reference
+ * will be nulled before the pointer becomes invalid. This can make the
+ * compiler ignore these pointers when validating the usage of pointers
+ * otherwise.
+ *
+ * Examples include an mOwner pointer, which is nulled by the owning class's
+ * destructor, and is null-checked before dereferencing.
+ * MOZ_UNSAFE_REF: Applies to declarations of pointers to reference counted
+ * types. Occasionally there are non-owning references which are valid, but
+ * do not take the form of a MOZ_NON_OWNING_REF. Their safety may be
+ * dependent on the behaviour of API consumers. The string argument passed
+ * to this macro documents the safety conditions. This can make the compiler
+ * ignore these pointers when validating the usage of pointers elsewhere.
+ *
+ * Examples include an nsAtom* member which is known at compile time to point
+ * to a static atom which is valid throughout the lifetime of the program, or
+ * an API which stores a pointer, but doesn't take ownership over it, instead
+ * requiring the API consumer to correctly null the value before it becomes
+ * invalid.
+ *
+ * Use of this annotation is discouraged when a strong reference or one of
+ * the above two annotations can be used instead.
+ * MOZ_NO_ADDREF_RELEASE_ON_RETURN: Applies to function declarations. Makes it
+ * a compile time error to call AddRef or Release on the return value of a
+ * function. This is intended to be used with operator->() of our smart
+ * pointer classes to ensure that the refcount of an object wrapped in a
+ * smart pointer is not manipulated directly.
+ * MOZ_NEEDS_NO_VTABLE_TYPE: Applies to template class declarations. Makes it
+ * a compile time error to instantiate this template with a type parameter
+ * which has a VTable.
+ * MOZ_NON_MEMMOVABLE: Applies to class declarations for types that are not safe
+ * to be moved in memory using memmove().
+ * MOZ_NEEDS_MEMMOVABLE_TYPE: Applies to template class declarations where the
+ * template arguments are required to be safe to move in memory using
+ * memmove(). Passing MOZ_NON_MEMMOVABLE types to these templates is a
+ * compile time error.
+ * MOZ_NEEDS_MEMMOVABLE_MEMBERS: Applies to class declarations where each member
+ * must be safe to move in memory using memmove(). MOZ_NON_MEMMOVABLE types
+ * used in members of these classes are compile time errors.
+ * MOZ_NO_DANGLING_ON_TEMPORARIES: Applies to method declarations which return
+ * a pointer that is freed when the destructor of the class is called. This
+ * prevents these methods from being called on temporaries of the class,
+ * reducing risks of use-after-free.
+ * This attribute cannot be applied to && methods.
+ * In some cases, adding a deleted &&-qualified overload is too restrictive as
+ * this method should still be callable as a non-escaping argument to another
+ * function. This annotation can be used in those cases.
+ * MOZ_INHERIT_TYPE_ANNOTATIONS_FROM_TEMPLATE_ARGS: Applies to template class
+ * declarations where an instance of the template should be considered, for
+ * static analysis purposes, to inherit any type annotations (such as
+ * MOZ_STACK_CLASS) from its template arguments.
+ * MOZ_INIT_OUTSIDE_CTOR: Applies to class member declarations. Occasionally
+ * there are class members that are not initialized in the constructor,
+ * but logic elsewhere in the class ensures they are initialized prior to use.
+ * Using this attribute on a member disables the check that this member must
+ * be initialized in constructors via list-initialization, in the constructor
+ * body, or via functions called from the constructor body.
+ * MOZ_IS_CLASS_INIT: Applies to class method declarations. Occasionally the
+ * constructor doesn't initialize all of the member variables and another
+ * function is used to initialize the rest. This marker is used to make the
+ * static analysis tool aware that the marked function is part of the
+ * initialization process and to include the marked function in the scan
+ * mechanism that determines which member variables still remain
+ * uninitialized.
+ * MOZ_NON_PARAM: Applies to types. Makes it compile time error to use the type
+ * in parameter without pointer or reference.
+ * MOZ_NON_AUTOABLE: Applies to class declarations. Makes it a compile time
+ * error to use `auto` in place of this type in variable declarations. This
+ * is intended to be used with types which are intended to be implicitly
+ * constructed into other other types before being assigned to variables.
+ * MOZ_REQUIRED_BASE_METHOD: Applies to virtual class method declarations.
+ * Sometimes derived classes override methods that need to be called by their
+ * overridden counterparts. This marker indicates that the marked method must
+ * be called by the method that it overrides.
+ * MOZ_MUST_RETURN_FROM_CALLER_IF_THIS_IS_ARG: Applies to method declarations.
+ * Callers of the annotated method must return from that function within the
+ * calling block using an explicit `return` statement if the "this" value for
+ * the call is a parameter of the caller. Only calls to Constructors,
+ * references to local and member variables, and calls to functions or
+ * methods marked as MOZ_MAY_CALL_AFTER_MUST_RETURN may be made after the
+ * MOZ_MUST_RETURN_FROM_CALLER_IF_THIS_IS_ARG call.
+ * MOZ_MAY_CALL_AFTER_MUST_RETURN: Applies to function or method declarations.
+ * Calls to these methods may be made in functions after calls a
+ * MOZ_MUST_RETURN_FROM_CALLER_IF_THIS_IS_ARG method.
+ * MOZ_UNANNOTATED/MOZ_ANNOTATED: Applies to Mutexes/Monitors and variations on
+ * them. MOZ_UNANNOTATED indicates that the Mutex/Monitor/etc hasn't been
+ * examined and annotated using macros from mfbt/ThreadSafety --
+ * MOZ_GUARDED_BY()/REQUIRES()/etc. MOZ_ANNOTATED is used in rare cases to
+ * indicate that is has been looked at, but it did not need any
+ * MOZ_GUARDED_BY()/REQUIRES()/etc (and thus static analysis knows it can
+ * ignore this Mutex/Monitor/etc)

+ * Printf style formats. MOZ_FORMAT_PRINTF and MOZ_FORMAT_WPRINTF can be used
+ * to annotate a function or method that is "printf/wprintf-like"; this will let
+ * (some) compilers check that the arguments match the template string.
+ *
+ * This macro takes two arguments. The first argument is the argument
+ * number of the template string. The second argument is the argument
+ * number of the '...' argument holding the arguments.
+ *
+ * Argument numbers start at 1. Note that the implicit "this"
+ * argument of a non-static member function counts as an argument.
+ *
+ * So, for a simple case like:
+ * void print_something (int whatever, const char *fmt, ...);
+ * The corresponding annotation would be
+ * MOZ_FORMAT_PRINTF(2, 3)
+ * However, if "print_something" were a non-static member function,
+ * then the annotation would be:
+ * MOZ_FORMAT_PRINTF(3, 4)
+ *
+ * The second argument should be 0 for vprintf-like functions; that
+ * is, those taking a va_list argument.
+ *
+ * Note that the checking is limited to standards-conforming
+ * printf-likes, and in particular this should not be used for
+ * PR_snprintf and friends, which are "printf-like" but which assign
+ * different meanings to the various formats.
+ *
+ * MinGW requires special handling due to different format specifiers
+ * on different platforms. The macro __MINGW_PRINTF_FORMAT maps to
+ * either gnu_printf or ms_printf depending on where we are compiling
+ * to avoid warnings on format specifiers that are legal.
+ *
+ * At time of writing MinGW has no wide equivalent to __MINGW_PRINTF_FORMAT;
+ * therefore __MINGW_WPRINTF_FORMAT has been implemented following the same
