+
+// This class provides access to a compact, read-only copy of a preference
+// database, backed by a shared memory buffer which can be shared between
+// processes. All state data for the database is stored in the shared memory
+// region, so individual instances require no dynamic memory allocation.
+//
+// Further, all strings returned from this API are nsLiteralCStrings with
+// pointers into the shared memory region, which means that they can be copied
+// into new nsCString instances without additional allocations. For instance,
+// the following (where `pref` is a Pref object) will not cause any string
+// copies, memory allocations, or atomic refcount changes:
+//
+//   nsCString prefName(pref.NameString());
+//
+// whereas if we returned a nsDependentCString or a dynamically allocated
+// nsCString, it would.
+//
+// The set of entries is stored in sorted order by preference name, so look-ups
+// are done by binary search. This means that look-ups have O(log n) complexity,
+// rather than the O(1) complexity of a dynamic hashtable. Consumers should keep
+// this in mind when planning their accesses.
+//
+// Important: The mapped memory created by this class is persistent. Once an
+// instance has been initialized, the memory that it allocates can never be
+// freed before process shutdown. Do not use it for short-lived mappings.

+  // Describes a block of memory within the shared memory region.
+  struct DataBlock {
+    // The byte offset from the start of the shared memory region to the start
+    // of the block.
+    size_t mOffset;

+
+  // Describes the contents of the shared memory region, which is laid-out as
+  // follows:
+  //
+  // - The Header struct
+  //
+  // - An array of Entry structs with mEntryCount elements, lexicographically
+  //   sorted by preference name.
+  //
+  // - A set of data blocks, with offsets and sizes described by the DataBlock
+  //   entries in the header, described below.
+  //
+  // Each entry stores its name string and values as indices into these blocks,
+  // as documented in the Entry struct, but with some important optimizations:
+  //
+  // - Boolean values are always stored inline. Both the default and user
+  //   values can be retrieved directly from the entry. Other types have only
+  //   one value index, and their values appear at the same indices in the
+  //   default and user value arrays.
+  //
+  //   Aside from reducing our memory footprint, this space-efficiency means
+  //   that we can fit more entries in the CPU cache at once, and reduces the
+  //   number of likely cache misses during lookups.
+  //
+  // - Key strings are stored in a separate string table from value strings. As
+  //   above, this makes it more likely that the strings we need will be
+  //   available in the CPU cache during lookups by not interleaving them with
+  //   extraneous data.
+  //
+  // - Default and user values are stored in separate arrays. Entries with user
+  //   values always appear before entries with default values in the value
+  //   arrays, and entries without user values do not have entries in the user
+  //   array at all. Since the same index is used for both arrays, this means
+  //   that entries with a default value but no user value do not allocate any
+  //   space to store their user value.
+  //
+  // - For preferences with no user value, the entries in the default value are
+  //   de-duplicated. All preferences with the same default value (and no user
+  //   value) point to the same index in the default value array.
+  //
+  //
+  // For example, a preference database containing:
+  //
+  // +---------+-------------------------------+-------------------------------+
+  // | Name    | Default Value | User Value    |                               |
