1784307 - Consider introducing an OOM-reporting mechanism to IPC::MessageReader

Status: NEW

(Core :: IPC, enhancement)

Description

[Nika Layzell [:nika] (ni? for response)]

This could be used to allow specific actors to customize how they handle OOMs which occur when deserializing IPC messages. Currently most deserializers will immediately abort on OOM by using infallible allocators, but in some cases we may prefer to kill a content process or similar rather than immediately aborting when the allocation which failed is sufficiently large.
