interface nsIMemoryReporterCallback : nsISupports
{
/*
* The arguments to the callback are as follows.
*
*
* |process| The name of the process containing this reporter. Each
* reporter initially has "" in this field, indicating that it applies to the
* current process. (This is true even for reporters in a child process.)
* When a reporter from a child process is copied into the main process, the
* copy has its 'process' field set appropriately.
*
*
* |path| The path that this memory usage should be reported under. Paths
* are '/'-delimited, eg. "a/b/c".
*
* Each reporter can be viewed as representing a leaf node in a tree.
* Internal nodes of the tree don't have reporters. So, for example, the
* reporters "explicit/a/b", "explicit/a/c", "explicit/d/e", and
* "explicit/d/f" define this tree:
*
* explicit
* |--a
* | |--b [*]
* | \--c [*]
* \--d
* |--e [*]
* \--f [*]
*
* Nodes marked with a [*] have a reporter. Notice that the internal
* nodes are implicitly defined by the paths.
*
* Nodes within a tree should not overlap measurements, otherwise the
* parent node measurements will be double-counted. So in the example
* above, |b| should not count any allocations counted by |c|, and vice
* versa.
*
* All nodes within each tree must have the same units.
*
* If you want to include a '/' not as a path separator, e.g. because the
* path contains a URL, you need to convert each '/' in the URL to a '\'.
* Consumers of the path will undo this change. Any other '\' character
* in a path will also be changed. This is clumsy but hasn't caused any
* problems so far.
*
* The paths of all reporters form a set of trees. Trees can be
* "degenerate", i.e. contain a single entry with no '/'.
*
*
* |kind| There are three kinds of memory reporters.
*
* - HEAP: reporters measuring memory allocated by the heap allocator,
* e.g. by calling malloc, calloc, realloc, memalign, operator new, or
* operator new[]. Reporters in this category must have units
* UNITS_BYTES.
*
* - NONHEAP: reporters measuring memory which the program explicitly
* allocated, but does not live on the heap. Such memory is commonly
* allocated by calling one of the OS's memory-mapping functions (e.g.
* mmap, VirtualAlloc, or vm_allocate). Reporters in this category
* must have units UNITS_BYTES.
*
* - OTHER: reporters which don't fit into either of these categories.
* They can have any units.
*
* The kind only matters for reporters in the "explicit" tree;
* aboutMemory.js uses it to calculate "heap-unclassified".
*
*
* |units| The units on the reporter's amount. One of the following.
*
* - BYTES: The amount contains a number of bytes.
*
* - COUNT: The amount is an instantaneous count of things currently in
* existence. For instance, the number of tabs currently open would have
* units COUNT.
*
* - COUNT_CUMULATIVE: The amount contains the number of times some event
* has occurred since the application started up. For instance, the
* number of times the user has opened a new tab would have units
* COUNT_CUMULATIVE.
*
* The amount returned by a reporter with units COUNT_CUMULATIVE must
* never decrease over the lifetime of the application.
*
* - PERCENTAGE: The amount contains a fraction that should be expressed as
* a percentage. NOTE! The |amount| field should be given a value 100x
* the actual percentage; this number will be divided by 100 when shown.
* This allows a fractional percentage to be shown even though |amount| is
* an integer. E.g. if the actual percentage is 12.34%, |amount| should
* be 1234.
*
* Values greater than 100% are allowed.
*
*
* |amount| The numeric value reported by this memory reporter. Accesses
* can fail if something goes wrong when getting the amount.
*
*
* |description| A human-readable description of this memory usage report.

/*
* An nsIMemoryReporter reports one or more memory measurements via a
* callback function which is called once for each measurement.
*
* An nsIMemoryReporter that reports a single measurement is sometimes called a
* "uni-reporter". One that reports multiple measurements is sometimes called
* a "multi-reporter".
*
* aboutMemory.js is the most important consumer of memory reports. It
* places the following constraints on reports.
*
* - There must be an "explicit" tree. It represents non-overlapping
* regions of memory that have been explicitly allocated with an
* OS-level allocation (e.g. mmap/VirtualAlloc/vm_allocate) or a
* heap-level allocation (e.g. malloc/calloc/operator new). Reporters
* in this tree must have kind HEAP or NONHEAP, units BYTES, and a
* description that is a sentence (i.e. starts with a capital letter and
* ends with a period, or similar).
*
* - The "redundant" tree is optional, and can be used for reports that are
* redundant w.r.t. other reports. These are useful for telemetry, and are
* not shown in about:memory. Reports in this tree are entirely
* unconstrained.
*
* - All other reports are unconstrained except that they must have a
* description that is a sentence.
