15 * MOZ_ALWAYS_INLINE is a macro which expands to tell the compiler that the
16 * method decorated with it must be inlined, even if the compiler thinks
17 * otherwise. This is only a (much) stronger version of the inline hint:
18 * compilers are not guaranteed to respect it (although they're much more likely
19 * to do so).
21 * The MOZ_ALWAYS_INLINE_EVEN_DEBUG macro is yet stronger. It tells the
22 * compiler to inline even in DEBUG builds. It should be used very rarely.

133 * MOZ_COLD tells the compiler that a function is "cold", meaning infrequently
134 * executed. This may lead it to optimize for size more aggressively than speed,
135 * or to allocate the body of the function in a distant part of the text segment
136 * to help keep it from taking up unnecessary icache when it isn't in use.

158 * Place this attribute at the very beginning of a function definition. For

261 * MOZ_NO_SANITIZE_UNSIGNED_OVERFLOW disables *un*signed integer overflow
262 * checking on the function it annotates, in builds configured to perform it.
263 * (Currently this is only Clang using -fsanitize=unsigned-integer-overflow, or
264 * via --enable-unsigned-overflow-sanitizer in Mozilla's build system.) It has
265 * no effect in other builds.
267 * Place this attribute at the very beginning of a function declaration.
269 * Unsigned integer overflow isn't *necessarily* a bug. It's well-defined in
270 * C/C++, and code may reasonably depend upon it. For example,
272 * MOZ_NO_SANITIZE_UNSIGNED_OVERFLOW inline bool
273 * IsDecimal(char aChar)
275 * // For chars less than '0', unsigned integer underflow occurs, to a value
276 * // much greater than 10, so the overall test is false.
277 * // For chars greater than '0', no overflow occurs, and only '0' to '9'
278 * // pass the overall test.
279 * return static_cast<unsigned int>(aChar) - '0' < 10;
282 * But even well-defined unsigned overflow often causes bugs when it occurs, so
283 * it should be restricted to functions annotated with this attribute.
285 * The compiler instrumentation to detect unsigned integer overflow has costs
286 * both at compile time and at runtime. Functions that are repeatedly inlined
287 * at compile time will also implicitly inline the necessary instrumentation,
288 * increasing compile time. Similarly, frequently-executed functions that
289 * require large amounts of instrumentation will also notice significant runtime
290 * slowdown to execute that instrumentation. Use this attribute to eliminate
291 * those costs -- but only after carefully verifying that no overflow can occur.

304 * --enable-signed-overflow-sanitizer in Mozilla's build system. GCC support
305 * will probably be added in the future.) It has no effect in other builds.
307 * Place this attribute at the very beginning of a function declaration.
309 * Signed integer overflow is undefined behavior in C/C++: *anything* can happen
310 * when it occurs. *Maybe* wraparound behavior will occur, but maybe also the
311 * compiler will assume no overflow happens and will adversely optimize the rest
312 * of your code. Code that contains signed integer overflow needs to be fixed.
314 * The compiler instrumentation to detect signed integer overflow has costs both
315 * at compile time and at runtime. Functions that are repeatedly inlined at
316 * compile time will also implicitly inline the necessary instrumentation,
317 * increasing compile time. Similarly, frequently-executed functions that

332 * MOZ_ALLOCATOR tells the compiler that the function it marks returns either a
333 * "fresh", "pointer-free" block of memory, or nullptr. "Fresh" means that the
334 * block is not pointed to by any other reachable pointer in the program.
335 * "Pointer-free" means that the block contains no pointers to any valid object
336 * in the program. It may be initialized with other (non-pointer) values.
338 * Placing this attribute on appropriate functions helps GCC analyze pointer
339 * aliasing more accurately in their callers.
341 * GCC warns if a caller ignores the value returned by a function marked with
342 * MOZ_ALLOCATOR: it is hard to imagine cases where dropping the value returned
343 * by a function that meets the criteria above would be intentional.

425 * The following macros are attributes that support the static analysis plugin

427 * as C++11 attributes. Since such attributes are legal pretty much everywhere
428 * and have subtly different semantics depending on their placement, the

431 * Attributes that apply to a struct or class precede the name of the class:
432 * (Note that this is different from the placement of final for classes!)
434 * class MOZ_CLASS_ATTRIBUTE SomeClass {};
436 * Attributes that apply to functions follow the parentheses and const
437 * qualifiers but precede final, override and the function body:
439 * void DeclaredFunction() MOZ_FUNCTION_ATTRIBUTE;
440 * void SomeFunction() MOZ_FUNCTION_ATTRIBUTE {}
441 * void PureFunction() const MOZ_FUNCTION_ATTRIBUTE = 0;
442 * void OverriddenFunction() MOZ_FUNCTION_ATTIRBUTE override;
444 * Attributes that apply to variables or parameters follow the variable's name:
446 * int variable MOZ_VARIABLE_ATTRIBUTE;
448 * Attributes that apply to types follow the type name:
450 * typedef int MOZ_TYPE_ATTRIBUTE MagicInt;
451 * int MOZ_TYPE_ATTRIBUTE someVariable;
452 * int* MOZ_TYPE_ATTRIBUTE magicPtrInt;
453 * int MOZ_TYPE_ATTRIBUTE* ptrToMagicInt;
455 * Attributes that apply to statements precede the statement:
457 * MOZ_IF_ATTRIBUTE if (x == 0)
458 * MOZ_DO_ATTRIBUTE do { } while (0);
460 * Attributes that apply to labels precede the label:
462 * MOZ_LABEL_ATTRIBUTE target:
463 * goto target;
464 * MOZ_CASE_ATTRIBUTE case 5:
465 * MOZ_DEFAULT_ATTRIBUTE default:
467 * The static analyses that are performed by the plugin are as follows:
469 * MOZ_CAN_RUN_SCRIPT: Applies to functions which can run script. Callers of
470 * this function must also be marked as MOZ_CAN_RUN_SCRIPT, and all refcounted
471 * arguments must be strongly held in the caller. Note that MOZ_CAN_RUN_SCRIPT
472 * should only be applied to function declarations, not definitions. If you
473 * need to apply it to a definition (eg because both are generated by a macro)
474 * use MOZ_CAN_RUN_SCRIPT_FOR_DEFINITION.
476 * MOZ_CAN_RUN_SCRIPT can be applied to XPIDL-generated declarations by
477 * annotating the method or attribute as [can_run_script] in the .idl file.
479 * MOZ_CAN_RUN_SCRIPT_FOR_DEFINITION: Same as MOZ_CAN_RUN_SCRIPT, but usable on
480 * a definition. If the declaration is in a header file, users of that header
481 * file may not see the annotation.
482 * MOZ_CAN_RUN_SCRIPT_BOUNDARY: Applies to functions which need to call
483 * MOZ_CAN_RUN_SCRIPT functions, but should not themselves be considered
484 * MOZ_CAN_RUN_SCRIPT. This should generally be avoided but can be used in
485 * two cases:
486 * 1) As a temporary measure to limit the scope of changes when adding
487 * MOZ_CAN_RUN_SCRIPT. Such a use must be accompanied by a follow-up bug
488 * to replace the MOZ_CAN_RUN_SCRIPT_BOUNDARY with MOZ_CAN_RUN_SCRIPT and
489 * a comment linking to that bug.
490 * 2) If we can reason that the MOZ_CAN_RUN_SCRIPT callees of the function
491 * do not in fact run script (for example, because their behavior depends
492 * on arguments and we pass the arguments that don't allow script
493 * execution). Such a use must be accompanied by a comment that explains
494 * why it's OK to have the MOZ_CAN_RUN_SCRIPT_BOUNDARY, as well as
495 * comments in the callee pointing out that if its behavior changes the
496 * caller might need adjusting. And perhaps also a followup bug to
497 * refactor things so the "script" and "no script" codepaths do not share
498 * a chokepoint.
499 * Importantly, any use MUST be accompanied by a comment explaining why it's
500 * there, and should ideally have an action plan for getting rid of the
501 * MOZ_CAN_RUN_SCRIPT_BOUNDARY annotation.
502 * MOZ_MUST_OVERRIDE: Applies to all C++ member functions. All immediate
503 * subclasses must provide an exact override of this method; if a subclass
504 * does not override this method, the compiler will emit an error. This
505 * attribute is not limited to virtual methods, so if it is applied to a
506 * nonvirtual method and the subclass does not provide an equivalent
507 * definition, the compiler will emit an error.
508 * MOZ_STATIC_CLASS: Applies to all classes. Any class with this annotation is
509 * expected to live in static memory, so it is a compile-time error to use
510 * it, or an array of such objects, as the type of a variable declaration, or
511 * as a temporary object, or as the type of a new expression (unless
512 * placement new is being used). If a member of another class uses this
513 * class, or if another class inherits from this class, then it is considered
514 * to be a static class as well, although this attribute need not be provided
515 * in such cases.
516 * MOZ_STATIC_LOCAL_CLASS: Applies to all classes. Any class with this
517 * annotation is expected to be a static local variable, so it is
518 * a compile-time error to use it, or an array of such objects, or as a
519 * temporary object, or as the type of a new expression. If another class
520 * inherits from this class then it is considered to be a static local
521 * class as well, although this attribute need not be provided in such cases.
522 * It is also a compile-time error for any class with this annotation to have
523 * a non-trivial destructor.
524 * MOZ_STACK_CLASS: Applies to all classes. Any class with this annotation is
525 * expected to live on the stack, so it is a compile-time error to use it, or
526 * an array of such objects, as a global or static variable, or as the type of
527 * a new expression (unless placement new is being used). If a member of
528 * another class uses this class, or if another class inherits from this
529 * class, then it is considered to be a stack class as well, although this
530 * attribute need not be provided in such cases.
531 * MOZ_NONHEAP_CLASS: Applies to all classes. Any class with this annotation is
532 * expected to live on the stack or in static storage, so it is a compile-time
533 * error to use it, or an array of such objects, as the type of a new
534 * expression. If a member of another class uses this class, or if another
535 * class inherits from this class, then it is considered to be a non-heap
536 * class as well, although this attribute need not be provided in such cases.
537 * MOZ_HEAP_CLASS: Applies to all classes. Any class with this annotation is
538 * expected to live on the heap, so it is a compile-time error to use it, or
539 * an array of such objects, as the type of a variable declaration, or as a
540 * temporary object. If a member of another class uses this class, or if
541 * another class inherits from this class, then it is considered to be a heap
542 * class as well, although this attribute need not be provided in such cases.
543 * MOZ_NON_TEMPORARY_CLASS: Applies to all classes. Any class with this
544 * annotation is expected not to live in a temporary. If a member of another
545 * class uses this class or if another class inherits from this class, then it
546 * is considered to be a non-temporary class as well, although this attribute
547 * need not be provided in such cases.
548 * MOZ_TEMPORARY_CLASS: Applies to all classes. Any class with this annotation
549 * is expected to only live in a temporary. If another class inherits from
550 * this class, then it is considered to be a non-temporary class as well,
551 * although this attribute need not be provided in such cases.
552 * MOZ_RAII: Applies to all classes. Any class with this annotation is assumed
553 * to be a RAII guard, which is expected to live on the stack in an automatic
554 * allocation. It is prohibited from being allocated in a temporary, static
555 * storage, or on the heap. This is a combination of MOZ_STACK_CLASS and
556 * MOZ_NON_TEMPORARY_CLASS.
557 * MOZ_ONLY_USED_TO_AVOID_STATIC_CONSTRUCTORS: Applies to all classes that are
558 * intended to prevent introducing static initializers. This attribute
559 * currently makes it a compile-time error to instantiate these classes
560 * anywhere other than at the global scope, or as a static member of a class.
561 * In non-debug mode, it also prohibits non-trivial constructors and
562 * destructors.
563 * MOZ_TRIVIAL_CTOR_DTOR: Applies to all classes that must have both a trivial
564 * or constexpr constructor and a trivial destructor. Setting this attribute
565 * on a class makes it a compile-time error for that class to get a
566 * non-trivial constructor or destructor for any reason.
567 * MOZ_ALLOW_TEMPORARY: Applies to constructors. This indicates that using the
568 * constructor is allowed in temporary expressions, if it would have otherwise
569 * been forbidden by the type being a MOZ_NON_TEMPORARY_CLASS. Useful for
570 * constructors like Maybe(Nothing).
571 * MOZ_HEAP_ALLOCATOR: Applies to any function. This indicates that the return
572 * value is allocated on the heap, and will as a result check such allocations
573 * during MOZ_STACK_CLASS and MOZ_NONHEAP_CLASS annotation checking.
574 * MOZ_IMPLICIT: Applies to constructors. Implicit conversion constructors
575 * are disallowed by default unless they are marked as MOZ_IMPLICIT. This
576 * attribute must be used for constructors which intend to provide implicit
577 * conversions.
578 * MOZ_IS_REFPTR: Applies to class declarations of ref pointer to mark them as
579 * such for use with static-analysis.
580 * A ref pointer is an object wrapping a pointer and automatically taking care
581 * of its refcounting upon construction/destruction/transfer of ownership.
582 * This annotation implies MOZ_IS_SMARTPTR_TO_REFCOUNTED.
583 * MOZ_IS_SMARTPTR_TO_REFCOUNTED: Applies to class declarations of smart
584 * pointers to ref counted classes to mark them as such for use with
585 * static-analysis.
586 * MOZ_NO_ARITHMETIC_EXPR_IN_ARGUMENT: Applies to functions. Makes it a compile
587 * time error to pass arithmetic expressions on variables to the function.
588 * MOZ_OWNING_REF: Applies to declarations of pointers to reference counted
589 * types. This attribute tells the compiler that the raw pointer is a strong
590 * reference, where ownership through methods such as AddRef and Release is
591 * managed manually. This can make the compiler ignore these pointers when
592 * validating the usage of pointers otherwise.
594 * Example uses include owned pointers inside of unions, and pointers stored
595 * in POD types where a using a smart pointer class would make the object
596 * non-POD.
597 * MOZ_NON_OWNING_REF: Applies to declarations of pointers to reference counted
598 * types. This attribute tells the compiler that the raw pointer is a weak
599 * reference, which is ensured to be valid by a guarantee that the reference
600 * will be nulled before the pointer becomes invalid. This can make the
601 * compiler ignore these pointers when validating the usage of pointers
602 * otherwise.
604 * Examples include an mOwner pointer, which is nulled by the owning class's
605 * destructor, and is null-checked before dereferencing.
606 * MOZ_UNSAFE_REF: Applies to declarations of pointers to reference counted
607 * types. Occasionally there are non-owning references which are valid, but
608 * do not take the form of a MOZ_NON_OWNING_REF. Their safety may be
609 * dependent on the behaviour of API consumers. The string argument passed
610 * to this macro documents the safety conditions. This can make the compiler
611 * ignore these pointers when validating the usage of pointers elsewhere.
613 * Examples include an nsAtom* member which is known at compile time to point
614 * to a static atom which is valid throughout the lifetime of the program, or
615 * an API which stores a pointer, but doesn't take ownership over it, instead
616 * requiring the API consumer to correctly null the value before it becomes
617 * invalid.
619 * Use of this annotation is discouraged when a strong reference or one of
620 * the above two annotations can be used instead.
621 * MOZ_NO_ADDREF_RELEASE_ON_RETURN: Applies to function declarations. Makes it
622 * a compile time error to call AddRef or Release on the return value of a
623 * function. This is intended to be used with operator->() of our smart
624 * pointer classes to ensure that the refcount of an object wrapped in a
625 * smart pointer is not manipulated directly.
626 * MOZ_NEEDS_NO_VTABLE_TYPE: Applies to template class declarations. Makes it
627 * a compile time error to instantiate this template with a type parameter
628 * which has a VTable.
629 * MOZ_NON_MEMMOVABLE: Applies to class declarations for types that are not safe
630 * to be moved in memory using memmove().
631 * MOZ_NEEDS_MEMMOVABLE_TYPE: Applies to template class declarations where the
632 * template arguments are required to be safe to move in memory using
633 * memmove(). Passing MOZ_NON_MEMMOVABLE types to these templates is a
634 * compile time error.
635 * MOZ_NEEDS_MEMMOVABLE_MEMBERS: Applies to class declarations where each member
636 * must be safe to move in memory using memmove(). MOZ_NON_MEMMOVABLE types
637 * used in members of these classes are compile time errors.
638 * MOZ_NO_DANGLING_ON_TEMPORARIES: Applies to method declarations which return
639 * a pointer that is freed when the destructor of the class is called. This
640 * prevents these methods from being called on temporaries of the class,
641 * reducing risks of use-after-free.
642 * This attribute cannot be applied to && methods.
643 * In some cases, adding a deleted &&-qualified overload is too restrictive as
644 * this method should still be callable as a non-escaping argument to another
645 * function. This annotation can be used in those cases.
646 * MOZ_INHERIT_TYPE_ANNOTATIONS_FROM_TEMPLATE_ARGS: Applies to template class
647 * declarations where an instance of the template should be considered, for
648 * static analysis purposes, to inherit any type annotations (such as
649 * MOZ_STACK_CLASS) from its template arguments.
650 * MOZ_INIT_OUTSIDE_CTOR: Applies to class member declarations. Occasionally
651 * there are class members that are not initialized in the constructor,
652 * but logic elsewhere in the class ensures they are initialized prior to use.
653 * Using this attribute on a member disables the check that this member must
654 * be initialized in constructors via list-initialization, in the constructor
655 * body, or via functions called from the constructor body.
656 * MOZ_IS_CLASS_INIT: Applies to class method declarations. Occasionally the
657 * constructor doesn't initialize all of the member variables and another
658 * function is used to initialize the rest. This marker is used to make the
659 * static analysis tool aware that the marked function is part of the
660 * initialization process and to include the marked function in the scan
661 * mechanism that determines which member variables still remain
662 * uninitialized.
663 * MOZ_NON_PARAM: Applies to types. Makes it compile time error to use the type
664 * in parameter without pointer or reference.
665 * MOZ_NON_AUTOABLE: Applies to class declarations. Makes it a compile time
666 * error to use `auto` in place of this type in variable declarations. This
667 * is intended to be used with types which are intended to be implicitly
668 * constructed into other other types before being assigned to variables.
669 * MOZ_REQUIRED_BASE_METHOD: Applies to virtual class method declarations.
670 * Sometimes derived classes override methods that need to be called by their
671 * overridden counterparts. This marker indicates that the marked method must
672 * be called by the method that it overrides.
673 * MOZ_MUST_RETURN_FROM_CALLER_IF_THIS_IS_ARG: Applies to method declarations.
674 * Callers of the annotated method must return from that function within the
675 * calling block using an explicit `return` statement if the "this" value for
676 * the call is a parameter of the caller. Only calls to Constructors,
677 * references to local and member variables, and calls to functions or methods
678 * marked as MOZ_MAY_CALL_AFTER_MUST_RETURN may be made after the
679 * MOZ_MUST_RETURN_FROM_CALLER_IF_THIS_IS_ARG call.
680 * MOZ_MAY_CALL_AFTER_MUST_RETURN: Applies to function or method declarations.
681 * Calls to these methods may be made in functions after calls a
682 * MOZ_MUST_RETURN_FROM_CALLER_IF_THIS_IS_ARG method.
683 * MOZ_LIFETIME_BOUND: Applies to method declarations.
684 * The result of calling these functions on temporaries may not be returned as
685 * a reference or bound to a reference variable.
688 // gcc emits a nuisance warning -Wignored-attributes because attributes do not
689 // affect mangled names, and therefore template arguments do not propagate

841 * Printf style formats. MOZ_FORMAT_PRINTF can be used to annotate a
842 * function or method that is "printf-like"; this will let (some)
843 * compilers check that the arguments match the template string.
845 * This macro takes two arguments. The first argument is the argument
846 * number of the template string. The second argument is the argument
847 * number of the '...' argument holding the arguments.
849 * Argument numbers start at 1. Note that the implicit "this"
850 * argument of a non-static member function counts as an argument.
852 * So, for a simple case like:
853 * void print_something (int whatever, const char *fmt, ...);
854 * The corresponding annotation would be
855 * MOZ_FORMAT_PRINTF(2, 3)
856 * However, if "print_something" were a non-static member function,
857 * then the annotation would be:
858 * MOZ_FORMAT_PRINTF(3, 4)
860 * The second argument should be 0 for vprintf-like functions; that
861 * is, those taking a va_list argument.
863 * Note that the checking is limited to standards-conforming
864 * printf-likes, and in particular this should not be used for
865 * PR_snprintf and friends, which are "printf-like" but which assign
866 * different meanings to the various formats.
868 * MinGW requires special handling due to different format specifiers
869 * on different platforms. The macro __MINGW_PRINTF_FORMAT maps to
870 * either gnu_printf or ms_printf depending on where we are compiling
871 * to avoid warnings on format specifiers that are legal.
