36 // Determine the serialized complexity of this input stream, initializing
37 // `*aSizeUsed`, `*aPipes` and `*aTransferables` to the number of inline
38 // bytes/pipes/transferable resources which would be used. This will be used
39 // by other `Serialize` implementations to potentially simplify the resulting
40 // stream, reducing the number of pipes or file descriptors required.
42 // Each outparameter corresponds to a type of resource which will be included
43 // in the serialized message, as follows:
45 // *aSizeUsed:
46 // Raw bytes to be included inline in the message's payload, usually in the
47 // form of a nsCString for a StringInputStreamParams. This must be less
48 // than or equal to `aMaxSize`. Larger payloads should instead be
49 // serialized using SerializeInputStreamAsPipe.
50 // *aPipes:
51 // New pipes, created using SerializeInputStreamAsPipe, which will be used
52 // to asynchronously transfer part of the pipe over IPC. Callers such as
53 // nsMultiplexInputStream may choose to serialize themselves as a DataPipe
54 // if they contain DataPipes themselves, so existing DataPipe instances
55 // which are cheaply transferred should be counted as transferrables.
56 // *aTransferables:
57 // Existing objects which can be more cheaply transferred over IPC than by
58 // serializing them inline in a payload or transferring them through a new
59 // DataPipe. This includes RemoteLazyInputStreams, FileDescriptors, and
60 // existing DataPipeReceiver instances.
62 // Callers of this method must have initialized all of `*aSizeUsed`,
63 // `*aPipes`, and `*aTransferables` to 0, so implementations are not required
64 // to initialize all outparameters. The outparameters must not be null.
