22 /**
23 * |Shmem| is one agent in the IPDL shared memory scheme. The way it
24 works is essentially
25 *
26 * (1) C++ code calls, say, |parentActor->AllocShmem(size)|
27
28 * (2) IPDL-generated code creates a |mozilla::ipc::SharedMemory|
29 * wrapping the bare OS shmem primitives. The code then adds the new
30 * SharedMemory to the set of shmem segments being managed by IPDL.
31 *
32 * (3) IPDL-generated code "shares" the new SharedMemory to the child
33 * process, and then sends a special asynchronous IPC message to the
34 * child notifying it of the creation of the segment. (What this
35 * means is OS specific.)
36 *
37 * (4a) The child receives the special IPC message, and using the
38 * |SharedMemory{SysV,Basic}::Handle| it was passed, creates a
39 * |mozilla::ipc::SharedMemory| in the child
40 * process.
41 *
42 * (4b) After sending the "shmem-created" IPC message, IPDL-generated
43 * code in the parent returns a |mozilla::ipc::Shmem| back to the C++
44 * caller of |parentActor->AllocShmem()|. The |Shmem| is a "weak
45 * reference" to the underlying |SharedMemory|, which is managed by
46 * IPDL-generated code. C++ consumers of |Shmem| can't get at the
47 * underlying |SharedMemory|.
48 *
49 * If parent code wants to give access rights to the Shmem to the
50 * child, it does so by sending its |Shmem| to the child, in an IPDL
51 * message. The parent's |Shmem| then "dies", i.e. becomes
52 * inaccessible. This process could be compared to passing a
53 * "shmem-access baton" between parent and child.
