// Static atoms are structured carefully to satisfy a lot of constraints.
//
// - We have ~2300 static atoms.
//
// - We want them to be constexpr so they end up in .rodata, and thus shared
//   between processes, minimizing memory usage.
//
// - We need them to be in an array, so we can iterate over them (for
//   registration and lookups).
//
// - Each static atom has a string literal associated with it. We can't use a
//   pointer to the string literal because then the atoms won't end up in
//   .rodata. Therefore the string literals and the atoms must be arranged in a
//   way such that a numeric index can be used instead. This numeric index
//   (nsStaticAtom::mStringOffset) must be computable at compile-time to keep
//   the static atom constexpr. It should also not be too large (a uint32_t is
//   reasonable).
//
// - Each static atom stores the hash value of its associated string literal;
//   it's used in various ways. The hash value must be specified at
//   compile-time, to keep the static atom constexpr.
//
// - As well as accessing each static atom via array indexing, we need an
//   individual pointer, e.g. nsGkAtoms::foo. We want this to be constexpr so
//   it doesn't take up any space in memory.
//
// - The array of static atoms can't be in a .h file, because it's a huge
//   constexpr expression, which would blow out compile times. But the
//   individual pointers for the static atoms must be in a .h file so they are
//   public.
//
// nsGkAtoms below defines static atoms in a way that satisfies these
// constraints. It uses nsGkAtomList.h, which defines the names and values of
// the atoms. nsGkAtomList.h is generated by StaticAtoms.py and has entries
// that look like this:
//
//   GK_ATOM(a, "a", 0x01234567, nsStaticAtom, Atom)
//   GK_ATOM(bb, "bb", 0x12345678, nsCSSPseudoElementStaticAtom,
//           PseudoElementAtom)
//   GK_ATOM(Ccc, "Ccc", 0x23456789, nsCSSAnonBoxPseudoStaticAtom,
//           InheritingAnonBoxAtom)
//
// Comments throughout this file and nsGkAtoms.cpp show how these entries get
// expanded by macros.

// Trivial subclasses of nsStaticAtom so that function signatures can require
// an atom from a specific atom list.
