     24 //
     25 // However, when using a zygote model, this becomes troublesome. Since the
     26 // descriptors which need to be in these slots generally aren't known, any code
     27 // could open a resource and take one of the reserved descriptors. Simply
     28 // overwriting the slot isn't a viable solution.
     29 //
     30 // We could try to fill the reserved slots as soon as possible, but this is a
     31 // fragile solution since global constructors etc are able to open files.
     32 //
     33 // Instead, we retreat from the idea of installing descriptors in specific
     34 // slots and add a layer of indirection in the form of this singleton object.
     35 // It maps from an abstract key to a descriptor. If independent modules each
     36 // need to define keys, then values should be chosen randomly so as not to
     37 // collide.
     38 //
     39 // Note that this class is deprecated and passing file descriptor should ideally
     40 // be done through the command line and using FileDescriptorStore.
