// A TaskRunner is an object that runs posted tasks (in the form of
|
|
// OnceClosure objects). The TaskRunner interface provides a way of
|
|
// decoupling task posting from the mechanics of how each task will be
|
|
// run. TaskRunner provides very weak guarantees as to how posted
|
|
// tasks are run (or if they're run at all). In particular, it only
|
|
// guarantees:
|
|
//
|
|
// - Posting a task will not run it synchronously. That is, no
|
|
// Post*Task method will call task.Run() directly.
|
|
//
|
|
// - Increasing the delay can only delay when the task gets run.
|
|
// That is, increasing the delay may not affect when the task gets
|
|
// run, or it could make it run later than it normally would, but
|
|
// it won't make it run earlier than it normally would.
|
|
//
|
|
// TaskRunner does not guarantee the order in which posted tasks are
|
|
// run, whether tasks overlap, or whether they're run on a particular
|
|
// thread. Also it does not guarantee a memory model for shared data
|
|
// between tasks. (In other words, you should use your own
|
|
// synchronization/locking primitives if you need to share data
|
|
// between tasks.)
|
|
//
|
|
// Implementations of TaskRunner should be thread-safe in that all
|
|
// methods must be safe to call on any thread. Ownership semantics
|
|
// for TaskRunners are in general not clear, which is why the
|
|
// interface itself is RefCountedThreadSafe.
|
|
//
|
|
// Some theoretical implementations of TaskRunner:
|
|
//
|
|
// - A TaskRunner that uses a thread pool to run posted tasks.
|
|
//
|
|
// - A TaskRunner that, for each task, spawns a non-joinable thread
|
|
// to run that task and immediately quit.
|
|
//
|
|
// - A TaskRunner that stores the list of posted tasks and has a
|
|
// method Run() that runs each runnable task in random order.

|

// operation can be canceled. See the following pseudo-code:
|

//
|

// class DataBuffer : public RefCountedThreadSafe<DataBuffer> {
|
|
// public:
|
|
// // Called to add data into a buffer.

|
// * Results of |task| are shared with |reply| by binding a shared argument
|
|
// (a DataBuffer instance).
|
|
// * The DataLoader object has no special thread safety.
|
|
// * The DataLoader object can be deleted while |task| is still running,
|
|
// and the reply will cancel itself safely because it is bound to a

|
// WeakPtr<>.
