//! Helpers for a process that sits between two others.
//!
//! A **gateway** re-publishes a service it reached over one transport onto
//! another (see the book's [cross-transport chapter]). Plain data flows
//! through it untouched, but every *binder object* crossing it has to be
//! unwrapped and wrapped again: a proxy of one session cannot enter a parcel
//! of another, and rsbinder refuses it at write time.
//!
//! Wrapping is one call — `BnFoo::new_binder(proxy)`. Doing it *per
//! forwarded call* is the trap: each `new_binder` mints a new object, so the
//! upstream sees a different callback identity every time and any interface
//! that pairs registration with removal by identity breaks.
//! [`Rewrap`](crate::bridge::Rewrap) is the memo table that fixes it — same
//! remote in, same local out.

/// One remote → one local wrapper, for as long as the pair is alive.
///
/// # Why it exists
///
/// A gateway forwarding `register(cb)` must hand its upstream a binder of
/// its own, not the caller's proxy. Written inline that is
/// `BnCallback::new_binder(cb.clone())`, which is correct per call and wrong
/// across calls: `register(cb)` then `unregister(cb)` arrive upstream as two
/// unrelated objects, so the removal matches nothing.
///
/// `Rewrap` keeps the mapping, so the second call re-uses the wrapper the
/// first one made:
///
/// ```ignore
/// struct Gateway {
///     upstream: Strong<dyn IFoo>,
///     callbacks: Rewrap<dyn ICallback>,
/// }
///
/// // once, at construction:
/// callbacks: Rewrap::new(BnCallback::new_binder),
///
/// fn register(&self, cb: &Strong<dyn ICallback>) -> BinderResult<()> {
///     self.upstream.register(&self.callbacks.wrap(cb))
/// }
/// fn unregister(&self, cb: &Strong<dyn ICallback>) -> BinderResult<()> {
///     self.upstream.unregister(&self.callbacks.wrap(cb))   // same object
/// }
/// ```
///
/// # Lifetimes
///
/// The table holds **weak** references to both halves, so it never keeps a
/// wrapper alive on its own: the wrapper lives exactly as long as the
/// upstream holds it. Once the upstream drops it — or the remote dies, or
/// its session ends — the entry stops matching and the next `wrap` mints a
/// fresh object, which is the correct answer at that point.
///
/// Dead entries are also removed eagerly, by a death notification on the
/// remote, and swept whenever the table is next written to; [`purge_dead`]
/// forces a sweep.
///
/// Identity is the remote's `Arc` address. A live entry holds its own weak
/// reference to that allocation, so the address cannot be recycled while the
/// entry stands; a hit is still confirmed against the stored binder.
///
/// `Rewrap` is transport-agnostic: the remote may be an RPC proxy or a
/// kernel one.
