Bug 829439 added the new mozilla::MemoryReporterBase type, which supersedes NS_MEMORY_REPORTER_IMPLEMENT.  This bug is about removing the vestiges of it.
This patch removes the uses of NS_MEMORY_REPORTER_IMPLEMENT in
nsMemoryReporterManager.cpp.

jlebar, the formatting style I've used for the descriptions is a little
unconventional, but I wanted to get something close to the density of the
macro.  Hopefully you don't mind it.

What would you think about improving MemoryReporterBase so it has a better
interface for writing fallible memory reporters?

One simple option would be to add a default implementation of Amount(), which
MOZ_ASSERTs as you have here.

Another option would be to add FallibleMemoryReporterBase, which implements
Amount() with a MOZ_ASSERT() and exposes a pure virtual GetFallibleAmount (or
something) method.

What would you think about inlining GetPageFaultsHard() into GetAmount() here?
And similarly for the jemalloc and atoms table reporters.

Being able to inline the Amount() function is the main advantage I see to
moving away from these macros.

Good idea.  I'll do that.

Sure.
I was going to attach a patch that applied on top of the previous one, but then
I typed |hg qref| instead of |hg qnew|.  Bah.

Anyway, as suggested:

- I changed it so you only have to provide one of GetAmount() and Amount().

- I inlined:  GetPageFaults{Hard,Soft}, GetPrivate, GetHeap*, GetExplicit,
  GetAtomTableSize.

Also:

- I fixed some |#if| conditions to |#ifdef| -- the behaviour is unchanged
  because the values are #defined to 1, but it's now consistent.

- I renamed AtomTableReporter to AtomsTableReporter to match its path.

the following.

- Converts the two reporters into a single multi-reporter, which is a bit

- Renames MediaMemoryReporter as MediaMemoryTracker, which better reflects its

We don't need NumLowMemoryEventsReporter as a base class any more.

A question... the paths for the three fields are:

- "low-memory-events/virtual"
- "low-memory-events/physical"
- "low-commit-space-events"

Should the last one be changed to "low-memory-events/commit-space"?

I thought we had decided once upon a time that a ref to the memory reporter should be held over the call registering the reporter.  Is this no longer the case?  I still see a mix of both styles in existing code and the patch series for this bug.

I asked you because you reviewed the original memory reporter patches.  But I'm fine with jlebar reviewing if you are.

Bug 831193 will fix this situation fully.  In the meantime, holding a ref isn't necessary and most of the existing code doesn't do it (excluding the cases where an nsCOMPtr is held by a parent object) so I'm going for consistency.

Two questions here. I realize that these are questions about the existing code rather than your patch, so I'm not r-'ing for that, but it looks like the original patch could have used some r-'d. git blame says it's from bug 818060.

1. I thought that about:memory's approach to memory accounting was explicitly to re-count everything everytime, and not to use accumulating counters, as you explain on
  https://wiki.mozilla.org/Memory_Reporting
But the counters here are violating this good principle. 

2. sAmount is static, and OpenGL work is done on more than one thread (for now on Android, in the near future on other platforms). So shouldn't these operations be made atomic?

Good question!  MemoryReporterBase is now threadsafe by default;  registration isn't performance critical and it's safer.

It's annoying, and the class isn't visible outside the file.

Using a static variable as a member variable of a non-singleton class is pretty
scary.  It also sets a bad example for others to cargo-cult off.

Could you do something to ensure that this class is actually a singleton (even
if that's just ensuring that the constructor never runs twice)?

Anoter alternative would be to stick the reporter in a ClearOnShutdown'ed
StaticRefPtr, add a factory method, and make the constructor private.

I suspect the (void) was put in to avoid compiler warnings, and the :: was put
in out of someone's understanding of layout style.  Since I'm not a layout

OT, but this idiom we've developed here of having classes with a
nsCOMPtr<nsIMemoryReporter> member which they register on construction and
unregister on destruction is kind of bad OOP.

ISTM that a better way of doing it would be to inherit from a special class.  E.g.

  class Foo : public MemoryReporterMixin<Foo>
  {
    Foo()
      : MemoryReporterMixin<Foo>(KIND_HEAP, ...)
    {}

    size_t SizeOfIncludingThis(...) const {...};
  };

  class MemoryReporterMixin<T>
  {
    int64_t Amount() { return T::SizeOfIncludingThis(...); }
  };

Then the MemoryReporterMixin constructor would register the memory reporter,
and the MemoryReporterMixin destructor would unregister it.

The main trick would be refcounting.  The memory reporter manager couldn't keep
a strong ref to Foo, because then Foo would never be destructed.  Maybe a weak
reference would do.

Actually, now that I think of it, this is not entirely off-topic. Suppose we
have the following situation.

  1. On the main thread, we take a reference to a Foo memory reporter.
     (For example, we might be running telemetry, which holds refs to
     nsIMemoryReporter objects via JS.)
  
     Our memory reporter has a member |Foo* mFoo|.  When we run the memory
     reporter, we do mFoo->SizeOfIncludingThis().

  2. Object Foo is destroyed off the main thread.  This does
     NS_UnregisterMemoryReporter(Foo), but the memory reporter is not deleted,
     because JS has a ref to it!

  3. We do GetAmount() on the memory reporter.

So this idiom is not thread-safe.  That probably invalidates some of your patches here.  :-/

It's required for the storage module style, and then it got copied everywhere else.  So removing it here (and everywhere else) is a win.  Storage will continue to live in its own little world, unfortunately.

I can do it in this case, but I won't do it in general because if you get the override wrong then MemoryReporterBase::GetAmount() will assert.

Hmm.  It's not the nsCOMPtr<nsIMemoryReporter>, which points from the Foo to the FooReporter, that's the problem.  It's the |nsFoo*|, which points from the FooReporter to the Foo.

Currently we have various Foo/FooReporter pairs, for singleton classes.  Generally the Amount() function equivalent is static and does something like this:

  x = get unique instance of Foo
  if (x)
    measure x

These patches have changed this to:

  x = local pointer to Foo
  measure x        // x may be dangling

Even the first case isn't thread-safe, AFAICT, because the Foo could be destroyed between getting and check |x|.

Yes, although I'd guess that most of our static objects are main-thread-only, so I'm most concerned with the cases where we have a FooReporter for a multithreaded, non-singleton Foo.

I think this will work.  The manager would keep weak references (just raw pointers should suffice, I think).  When enumerating the reporters, we'd use temporary strong pointers to ensure the objects stay alive until after GetAmount et al. are called.

But there's still one problem:  what if a Foo object is destroyed on another thread while we are in the middle of enumerating?  We'll be mixing enumeration with deletion, which sounds bad.  In fact, I think we already have that problem with the existing code!

More specifically, nsMemoryReporterManager has a lock which it takes when adding and removing reporters, and when *creating* an enumerator.  But it doesn't lock when *using* an enumerator.  I guess we should hold the lock the entire time the enumerator is alive?  The obvious way to do this is for EnumerateReporters() to take the lock and then add a FinishEnumeratingReporters() method that releases the lock, though hopefully there's an RAII approach that avoids the need for the latter method.

While the enumerator object is alive, it holds a strong ref to all of the "enumeratees" (the memory reporters).  So I think this isn't a problem?

That is true, but I was worried that we might e.g. try to enumerate N elements but by the time we get to the end there are only N-1 in the array.  But NeilAway informed me (and I checked) that NS_NewArrayEnumerator makes a temporary copy of the array to avoid problems with this case.  So I think it's safe.

After seven months I'm resurrecting this.  jlebar's concerns about races were valid, so I'm going to avoid creating FooReporter classes that contain raw pointers to Foo objects -- instead I'll stick with the existing code that typically goes via a static singleton pointer.

I've rebased the patches and made that change.  Since it brings the patches closer to the current code than all the previous patches, I will carry over the r+'s that are already present.

jlebar, you r-'d this previously because it's a reporter with a static counter
but no protection against multiple instantiation.  I added an assertion to the
constructor, which is the same strategy used in several other reporters.

This patch duplicates a lot of code from the previous patch I reviewed, and you
may have this same code elsewhere.

Is it time to factor it out?

r=me because this patch is a net improvement.

Yeah, as a follow-up I've been thinking about having multiple variants of MemoryReporterBase, one of which would be for counter-based reporters like this.
