At least some of these came in with recent refactorings, it would appear:

Oh, good catch! I did not realize that onOutOfMemory did more than report!

I think we need to do this in the case the onOutOfMemory successfully allocates as well. This comment applies to to the rest of the functions.

This needs to pass in reinterpret_cast<void *>(1) to indicate it's a |calloc| call [1].

Thank you for the fix, Terrence.
Can this be closed now, Terrence?  Do you recall why you left it open?
Flags: needinfo?(terrence)
I want to redesign the interface to get rid of the absurd reinterpret_cast<void *>(1) and interpretation of a void* as an enum. I just haven't had time yet.

Is the memory leak fixed at least?  We could remove the [MemShrink] tag in that case.  Or just close this and file a new one.
Comment 6 was never addressed, so we're not quite updating the malloc counter properly and the calloc retry will return non-zeroed memory if successful. So I guess technically the leak is fixed, but there are still issues.
That too.

Update the malloc counters if we happen to recover from OOM.

Sorry to nitpick, but can we factor out the |numElems * sizeof(T)| calculation as it's not used three times in this function?  Also ditto below.

Also I don't think there's much point using MOZ_LIKELY() after the initial alloc failure.

Otherwise all good :)
