/* C++ types corresponding to Servo and Gecko types used across bindings,
   with some annotations to indicate ownership expectations */

// This file defines a number of C++ types used to represent strong, and owning
// references to Servo and Gecko objects that might be used across bindings and
// FFI.
//
// By convention, the types defined here are named "RawServo{Type}" and
// "RawGecko{Type}".  The {Type} should be something close to the real Rust or
// C++ name of the type, but need not be.  The "Raw" is really just used to
// avoid clashing with other names.
//
// For Servo types, each "RawServo{ServoTypeName}" is generated as an opaque,
// declared but not defined struct.
//
// For Gecko types, each "RawGecko{GeckoTypeName}" is a typedef that aliases
// the actual C++ type.
//
// Each of these types can have a number of different typedefs generated for
// them, representing different notions of ownership when passing or receiving
// these values across bindings and FFI:
//
//   RawServo{Type}Strong
//     strong reference to an Arc-managed value
//
// All of these strong, and owned types are generated by adding
// entries to one of these files:
//
//   ServoArcTypeList.h
//     generates the Strong type
//
//
// The strong, and owned reference types should be used in FFI function
// signatures where possible, to help indicate the ownership properties that
// both sides of the function call must adhere to.
//
// There are some special cases defined at the bottom of this file that don't
// fit neatly into these three categories.
//
//
// Using these types in C++ ========================
//
// The Strong types are a C++ struct that wraps a raw pointer.  When receiving a
// Strong value from a Servo_* FFI function, you must call Consume() on it to
// convert it into an already_AddRefed<RawServo{Type}>, otherwise it will leak.
//
// We don't currently have any cases where we pass a Strong value to Servo; this
// could be done by creating a RawServo{Type}Strong struct value whose mPtr is
// initialized to the result of calling `.forget().take()` on a
// RefPtr<RawServo{Type}>, but it's probably easier just to pass a raw pointer
// and let the Rust code turn it into an Arc.
//
// TODO(heycam): We should perhaps have a similar struct for Owned types with a
// Consume() method to convert them into a UniquePtr.  The struct for Strong
// types at least have MOZ_MUST_USE_TYPE on them.
//
//
// Using these types in Rust =========================
//
// The FFI type names are available in Rust in the gecko_bindings::bindings mod,
// which is generated by servo/components/style/build_gecko.rs.
//
// Borrowed types in rust are represented by &T, Option<&T>, &mut T, and
// Option<&mut T>.
//
// In C++ you should write them as const pointers (for &T and Option<&T>) or
// non-const pointers (for &mut T and Option<&mut T>).
//
// The Strong types are defined as gecko_bindings::sugar::ownership::Strong<T>.
//
// This is an FFI safe type that represents the value with a strong reference
// already added to it.  Dropping a Strong<T> will leak the strong reference.
//
// A RawServoFooStrong received from FFI can be converted into a
// `RawOffsetArc<Foo>` by calling `into_arc()` or `into_arc_opt()` on it.
// To pass a RawServoFooStrong back to Gecko, call `into_strong()` on the
// `Arc<Foo>`.
//
// The Owned types are defined as gecko_bindings::sugar::ownership::Owned<T>
// (or OwnedOrNull<T>).
//
// This is another FFI safe type that represents the owning reference to the
// value.  Dropping an Owned<T> will leak the value.
//
// An Owned<RawServoFoo> received from FFI can be converted into a `Box<Foo>`
// by calling `into_box()`.  To pass an Owned<RawServoFoo> back to Gecko, call
// `HasBoxFFI::into_ffi()` passing in the `Box<Foo>` value.
//
// Reading through servo/components/style/gecko_bindings/sugar/ownership.rs
// is also instructive in understanding all this.
