AsyncInvoker can optionally execute a user-specified // function when the asynchronous call is complete, or operates in // fire-and-forget mode otherwise. // // AsyncInvoker does not own the thread it calls functors on. // // A note about async calls and object lifetimes: users should // be mindful of object lifetimes when calling functions asynchronously and // ensure objects used by the function _cannot_ be deleted between the // invocation and execution of the functor. AsyncInvoker is designed to // help: any calls in flight will be cancelled when the AsyncInvoker used to // make the call is destructed, and any calls executing will be allowed to // complete before AsyncInvoker destructs. // // The easiest way to ensure lifetimes are handled correctly is to create a // class that owns the Thread and AsyncInvoker objects, and then call its // methods asynchronously as needed. // // Example: // class MyClass { // public: // void FireAsyncTaskWithResult(Thread* thread, int x) { // // Specify a callback to get the result upon completion. // invoker_.AsyncInvoke(RTC_FROM_HERE, // thread, Bind(&MyClass::AsyncTaskWithResult, this, x), // &MyClass::OnTaskComplete, this); // } // void FireAnotherAsyncTask(Thread* thread) { // // No callback specified means fire-and-forget. // invoker_.AsyncInvoke(RTC_FROM_HERE, // thread, Bind(&MyClass::AnotherAsyncTask, this)); // // private: // int AsyncTaskWithResult(int x) { // // Some long running process... // return x * x; // } // void AnotherAsyncTask() { // // Some other long running process... // } // void OnTaskComplete(int result) { result_ = result; } // // AsyncInvoker invoker_; // int result_; // }; // // More details about threading: // - It's safe to construct/destruct AsyncInvoker on different threads. // - It's safe to call AsyncInvoke from different threads. // - It's safe to call AsyncInvoke recursively from *within* a functor that's // being AsyncInvoked. // - However, it's *not* safe to call AsyncInvoke from *outside* a functor // that's being AsyncInvoked while the AsyncInvoker is being destroyed on // another thread. This is just inherently unsafe and there's no way to // prevent that. So, the user of this class should ensure that the start of // each "chain" of invocations is synchronized somehow with the AsyncInvoker's // destruction.
