The way it works is essentially * * (1) C++ code calls, say, |parentActor->AllocShmem(size)| * (2) IPDL-generated code creates a |mozilla::ipc::SharedMemory| * wrapping the bare OS shmem primitives. The code then adds the new * SharedMemory to the set of shmem segments being managed by IPDL. * * (3) IPDL-generated code "shares" the new SharedMemory to the child * process, and then sends a special asynchronous IPC message to the * child notifying it of the creation of the segment. (What this * means is OS specific.) * * (4a) The child receives the special IPC message, and using the * |SharedMemory{Basic}::Handle| it was passed, creates a * |mozilla::ipc::SharedMemory| in the child * process. * * (4b) After sending the "shmem-created" IPC message, IPDL-generated * code in the parent returns a |mozilla::ipc::Shmem| back to the C++ * caller of |parentActor->AllocShmem()|. The |Shmem| is a "weak * reference" to the underlying |SharedMemory|, which is managed by * IPDL-generated code. C++ consumers of |Shmem| can't get at the * underlying |SharedMemory|. * * If parent code wants to give access rights to the Shmem to the * child, it does so by sending its |Shmem| to the child, in an IPDL * message. The parent's |Shmem| then "dies", i.e. becomes * inaccessible. This process could be compared to passing a * "shmem-access baton" between parent and child. */ namespace mozilla { namespace layers { class ShadowLayerForwarder; } // namespace layers namespace ipc { class IProtocol; class IToplevelProtocol; template struct IPDLParamTraits; class Shmem final { friend struct IPDLParamTraits; friend class mozilla::ipc::IProtocol; friend class mozilla::ipc::IToplevelProtocol; #ifdef DEBUG // For ShadowLayerForwarder::CheckSurfaceDescriptor friend class mozilla::layers::ShadowLayerForwarder; #endif public: typedef int32_t id_t; // Low-level wrapper around platform shmem primitives. typedef mozilla::ipc::SharedMemory SharedMemory; Shmem() : mSegment(nullptr), mData(nullptr), mSize(0), mId(0) {} Shmem(const Shmem& aOther) = default; ~Shmem() { // Shmem only holds a "weak ref" to the actual segment, which is // owned by IPDL.
