+/*
+ * The replace-malloc bridge allows bidirectional method calls between
+ * a program and the replace-malloc library that has been loaded for it.
+ * In Firefox, this is used to allow method calls between code in libxul
+ * and code in the replace-malloc library, without libxul needing to link
+ * against that library or vice-versa.
+ *
+ * Subsystems can add methods for their own need. Replace-malloc libraries
+ * can decide to implement those methods or not.
+ *
+ * Replace-malloc libraries can provide such a bridge by implementing
+ * a ReplaceMallocBridge-derived class, and a replace_get_bridge function
+ * returning an instance of that class. The default methods in
+ * ReplaceMallocBridge are expected to return values that callers would
+ * understand as "the bridge doesn't implement this method", so that a
+ * replace-malloc library doesn't have to implement all methods.
+ *
+ * The ReplaceMallocBridge class contains definitions for methods for
+ * all replace-malloc libraries. Each library picks the methods it wants
+ * to reply to in its ReplaceMallocBridge-derived class instance.
+ * All methods of ReplaceMallocBridge must be virtual. Similarly,
+ * anything passed as an argument to those methods must be plain data, or
+ * an instance of a class with only virtual methods.
+ *
+ * Binary compatibility is expected to be maintained, such that a newer
+ * Firefox can be used with an old replace-malloc library, or an old
+ * Firefox can be used with a newer replace-malloc library. As such, only
+ * new virtual methods should be added to ReplaceMallocBridge, and
+ * each change should have a corresponding bump of the mVersion value.
+ * At the same time, each virtual method should have a corresponding
+ * wrapper calling the virtual method on the instance from
+ * ReplaceMallocBridge::Get(), giving it the version the virtual method
+ * was added.
+ *
+ * Parts that are not relevant to the replace-malloc library end of the
+ * bridge are hidden when REPLACE_MALLOC_IMPL is not defined, which is
+ * the case when including replace_malloc.h.
