74/**
75 * Macro to free all elements of an XPCOM array of a given size using
76 * freeFunc, then frees the array itself using nsMemory::Free().
77 *
78 * Note that this macro (and its wrappers) can be used to deallocate a
79 * partially- or completely-built array while unwinding an error
80 * condition inside the XPCOM routine that was going to return the
81 * array. For this to work on a partially-built array, your code
82 * needs to be building the array from index 0 upwards, and simply
83 * pass the number of elements that have already been built (and thus
84 * need to be freed) as |size|.
85 *
86 * Thanks to <alecf@netscape.com> for suggesting this form, which
87 * allows the macro to be used with NS_RELEASE / NS_RELEASE_IF in
88 * addition to nsMemory::Free.
89 *
90 * @param size Number of elements in the array. If not a constant, this
91 * should be a PRInt32. Note that this means this macro
92 * will not work if size >= 2^31.
93 * @param array The array to be freed.
94 * @param freeFunc The function or macro to be used to free it.
95 * For arrays of nsISupports (or any class derived
96 * from it), NS_IF_RELEASE (or NS_RELEASE) should be
97 * passed as freeFunc. For most (all?) other pointer
98 * types (including XPCOM strings and wstrings),
99 * nsMemory::Free should be used, since the
100 * shared-allocator (nsMemory) is what will have been
101 * used to allocate the memory.
