  // Some terminology:
  //
  //   "dependent buffer"    A dependent buffer is one that the string class
  //                         does not own.  The string class relies on some
  //                         external code to ensure the lifetime of the
  //                         dependent buffer.
  //
  //   "refcounted buffer"   A refcounted buffer is one that the string class
  //                         allocates.  When it allocates a refcounted string
  //                         buffer, it allocates some additional space at
  //                         the beginning of the buffer for additional
  //                         fields, including a reference count and a
  //                         buffer length.  See nsStringHeader.
  //
  //   "adopted buffer"      An adopted buffer is a raw string buffer
  //                         allocated on the heap (using moz_xmalloc)
  //                         of which the string class subsumes ownership.
  //
  // Some comments about the string data flags:
  //
  //   REFCOUNTED, OWNED, and INLINE are all mutually exlusive.  They
  //   indicate the allocation type of mData.  If none of these flags
  //   are set, then the string buffer is dependent.
  //
  //   REFCOUNTED, OWNED, or INLINE imply TERMINATED.  This is because
  //   the string classes always allocate null-terminated buffers, and
  //   non-terminated substrings are always dependent.
  //
  //   VOIDED implies TERMINATED, and moreover it implies that mData
  //   points to char_traits::sEmptyBuffer.  Therefore, VOIDED is
  //   mutually exclusive with REFCOUNTED, OWNED, and INLINE.

  TERMINATED   = 1 << 0,  // IsTerminated returns true
  VOIDED       = 1 << 1,  // IsVoid returns true
  REFCOUNTED   = 1 << 2,  // mData points to a heap-allocated, shareable, refcounted buffer
  OWNED        = 1 << 3,  // mData points to a heap-allocated, raw buffer
  INLINE       = 1 << 4,  // mData points to a writable, inline buffer
  LITERAL      = 1 << 5   // mData points to a string literal; DataFlags::TERMINATED will also be set
};

// bits for mClassFlags
enum class StringClassFlags : uint16_t
{
  INLINE          = 1 << 0, // |this|'s buffer is inline
  NULL_TERMINATED = 1 << 1  // |this| requires its buffer is null-terminated
