/**
|
|
*
|
|
* nsIMemory: interface to allocate and deallocate memory. Also provides
|
|
* for notifications in low-memory situations.
|
|
*
|
|
* The frozen exported symbols NS_Alloc, NS_Realloc, and NS_Free
|
|
* provide a more efficient way to access XPCOM memory allocation. Using
|
|
* those symbols is preferred to using the methods on this interface.
|
|
*
|
|
* A client that wishes to be notified of low memory situations (for
|
|
* example, because the client maintains a large memory cache that
|
|
* could be released when memory is tight) should register with the
|
|
* observer service (see nsIObserverService) using the topic
|
|
* "memory-pressure". There are three specific types of notications
|
|
* that can occur. These types will be passed as the |aData|
|
|
* parameter of the of the "memory-pressure" notification:
|
|
*
|
|
* "low-memory"
|
|
* This will be passed as the extra data when the pressure
|
|
* observer is being asked to flush for low-memory conditions.
|
|
*
|
|
* "heap-minimize"
|
|
* This will be passed as the extra data when the pressure
|
|
* observer is being asked to flush because of a heap minimize
|
|
* call.
|
|
*
|
|
* "alloc-failure"
|
|
* This will be passed as the extra data when the pressure
|
|
* observer has been asked to flush because a malloc() or
|
|
* realloc() has failed.
