// The IPCStream IPC actor is designed to push an nsIInputStream from child to
// parent or parent to child incrementally.  This is mainly needed for streams
// such as nsPipe that may not yet have all their data available when the
// stream must be sent across an IPC boundary.  While many streams are handled
// by SerializeInputStream(), these streams cannot be serialized and must be
// sent using this actor.
//
// The IPCStream actor only support async, non-blocking streams because they
// must be read inline on the main thread and Worker threads.
//
// In general, the creation and handling of the IPCStream actor cannot be
// abstracted away behind SerializeInputStream() because the actor must be
// carefully managed.  Specifically:
//
//  1) The data flow must be explicitly initiated by calling
//     IPCStreamSource{Child,Parent}::Start() after the actor has been sent to
//     the other-side actor.
//  2) If the actor is never sent to the other-side, then this code must
//     call IPCStreamSource{Child,Parent}::StartDestroy() to avoid memory leaks.
//  3) The IPCStreamSource actor can only be used on threads that can be
//     guaranteed to stay alive as long as the actor is alive.  Right now
//     this limits IPCStream to the main thread and Worker threads.
//
// In general you should probably use the AutoIPCStreamSource RAII class
// defined in InputStreamUtils.h instead of using IPCStreamSource directly.
