+/* Explicit fallible allocation
+ *
+ * Memory allocation (normally) defaults to abort in case of failed
+ * allocation. That is, it never returns NULL, and crashes instead.
+ *
+ * Code can explicitely request for fallible memory allocation thanks
+ * to the declarations below.
+ *
+ * The typical use of the mozilla::fallible const is with placement new,
+ * like the following:
+ *
+ *     foo = new (mozilla::fallible) Foo();
+ *
+ * The following forms, or derivatives, are also possible but deprecated:
+ *
+ *     foo = new ((mozilla::fallible_t())) Foo();
+ *
+ *     const mozilla::fallible_t fallible = mozilla::fallible_t();
+ *     bar = new (f) Bar();
+ *
+ * It is also possible to declare method overloads with fallible allocation
+ * alternatives, like so:
+ *
+ *     class Foo {
+ *     public:
+ *       void Method(void *);
+ *       void Method(void *, const mozilla::fallible_t&);
+ *     };
+ *
+ *     Foo foo;
+ *     foo.Method(nullptr, mozilla::fallible);
+ *
+ * If that last method call is in a method that itself takes a const
+ * fallible_t& argument, it is recommended to propagate that argument
+ * instead of using mozilla::fallible:
+ *
+ *     void Func(Foo &foo, const mozilla::fallible_t& aFallible) {
+ *         foo.Method(nullptr, aFallible);
+ *     }
+ *
+ */

+
+/* This symbol is kept unexported, such that in corner cases where the
+ * compiler can't remove its use (essentially, cross compilation-unit
+ * calls), the smallest machine code is used.
+ * Depending how the linker packs symbols, it will consume between 1 and
+ * 8 bytes of read-only data in each executable or shared library, but
+ * only in those where it's actually not optimized out by the compiler.
