4 ``nsTArray`` and ``AutoTArray``
5 -------------------------------
7 ``nsTArray<T>`` is a typesafe array for holding various objects, similar to ``std::vector<T>``. (note that
8 ``nsTArray<T>`` is dynamically-sized, unlike ``std::array<T>``) Here's an
9 incomplete list of mappings between the two:
11 ================== ==================================================
12 std::vector<T> nsTArray<T>
13 ================== ==================================================
14 ``size()`` ``Length()``
15 ``empty()`` ``IsEmpty()``
16 ``resize()`` ``SetLength()`` or ``SetLengthAndRetainStorage()``
17 ``capacity()`` ``Capacity()``
18 ``reserve()`` ``SetCapacity()``
19 ``push_back()`` ``AppendElement()``
20 ``insert()`` ``AppendElements()``
21 ``emplace_back()`` ``EmplaceBack()``
22 ``clear()`` ``Clear()`` or ``ClearAndRetainStorage()``
23 ``data()`` ``Elements()``
24 ``at()`` ``ElementAt()``
25 ``back()`` ``LastElement()``
26 ================== ==================================================
31 When the ``thin_vec`` crate is built in Gecko, ``thin_vec::ThinVec<T>`` is
32 guaranteed to have the same memory layout and allocation strategy as
33 ``nsTArray``, meaning that the two types may be used interchangeably across
34 FFI boundaries. The type is **not** safe to pass by-value over FFI
35 boundaries, due to Rust and C++ differing in when they run destructors.
37 The element type ``T`` must be memory-compatible with both Rust and C++ code
40 ``nsTHashMap`` and ``nsTHashSet``
41 ---------------------------------
43 These types are the recommended interface for writing new XPCOM hashmaps and
44 hashsets in XPCOM code.
49 The following types are supported as the key parameter to ``nsTHashMap`` and
52 ========================== ======================
54 ========================== ======================
55 ``T*`` ``nsPtrHashKey<T>``
56 ``T*`` ``nsPtrHashKey<T>``
57 ``nsCString`` ``nsCStringHashKey``
58 ``nsString`` ``nsStringHashKey``
59 ``uint32_t`` ``nsUint32HashKey``
60 ``uint64_t`` ``nsUint64HashKey``
61 ``intptr_t`` ``IntPtrHashKey``
62 ``nsCOMPtr<nsISupports>`` ``nsISupportsHashKey``
63 ``RefPtr<T>`` ``nsRefPtrHashKey<T>``
64 ``nsID`` ``nsIDHashKey``
65 ========================== ======================
67 Any key not in this list must inherit from the ``PLDHashEntryHdr`` class to
68 implement manual hashing behaviour.
75 The ``nsTHashMap`` and ``nsTHashSet`` types are not declared exactly like
76 this in code. This is intended largely as a practical reference.
78 .. cpp:class:: template<K, V> nsTHashMap<K, V>
80 The ``nsTHashMap<K, V>`` class is currently defined as a thin type alias
81 around ``nsBaseHashtable``. See the methods defined on that class for
82 more detailed documentation.

86 .. cpp:function:: uint32_t Count() const
88 .. cpp:function:: bool IsEmpty() const
90 .. cpp:function:: bool Get(KeyType aKey, V* aData) const
92 Get the value, returning a flag indicating the presence of the entry
95 .. cpp:function:: V Get(KeyType aKey) const
97 Get the value, returning a default-initialized object if the entry is
98 not present in the table.
100 .. cpp:function:: Maybe<V> MaybeGet(KeyType aKey) const
102 Get the value, returning Nothing if the entry is not present in the table.

110 The ``nsTHashSet<K>`` class is currently defined as a thin type alias
111 around ``nsTBaseHashSet``. See the methods defined on that class for
112 more detailed documentation.
