// GC Policy Mechanism

// A GCPolicy controls how the GC interacts with both direct pointers to GC
// things (e.g. JSObject* or JSString*), tagged and/or optional pointers to GC
// things (e.g.  Value or jsid), and C++ container types (e.g.
// JSPropertyDescriptor or GCHashMap).
//
// The GCPolicy provides at a minimum:
//
//   static void trace(JSTracer, T* tp, const char* name)
//       - Trace the edge |*tp|, calling the edge |name|. Containers like
//         GCHashMap and GCHashSet use this method to trace their children.
//
//   static bool needsSweep(T* tp)
//       - Return true if |*tp| is about to be finalized. Otherwise, update the
//         edge for moving GC, and return false. Containers like GCHashMap and
//         GCHashSet use this method to decide when to remove an entry: if this
//         function returns true on a key/value/member/etc, its entry is dropped
//         from the container. Specializing this method is the standard way to
//         get custom weak behavior from a container type.
//
// The default GCPolicy<T> assumes that T has a default constructor and |trace|
// and |needsSweep| methods, and forwards to them. GCPolicy has appropriate
// specializations for pointers to GC things and pointer-like types like
// JS::Heap<T> and mozilla::UniquePtr<T>.
//
// There are some stock structs your specializations can inherit from.
// IgnoreGCPolicy<T> does nothing. StructGCPolicy<T> forwards the methods to the
// referent type T.
