It maintains its +// own queue of events and only dispatches one at a time to the wrapped +// target. This can be used to avoid flooding the base target. +// +// Flooding is avoided via a very simple principle. Runnables dispatched +// to the ThrottledEventQueue are only dispatched to the base target +// one at a time. Only once that runnable has executed will we dispatch +// the next runnable to the base target. This in effect makes all +// runnables passing through the ThrottledEventQueue yield to other work +// on the base target. +// +// ThrottledEventQueue keeps runnables waiting to be dispatched to the +// base in its own internal queue. Code can query the length of this +// queue using IsEmpty() and Length(). Further, code implement back +// pressure by checking the depth of the queue and deciding to stop +// issuing runnables if they see the ThrottledEventQueue is backed up. +// Code running on other threads could even use AwaitIdle() to block +// all operation until the ThrottledEventQueue drains. +// +// Note, this class is similar to TaskQueue, but also differs in a few +// ways. First, it is a very simple nsIEventTarget implementation. It +// does not use the AbstractThread API. +// +// In addition, ThrottledEventQueue currently dispatches its next +// runnable to the base target *before* running the current event. This +// allows the event code to spin the event loop without stalling the +// ThrottledEventQueue. In contrast, TaskQueue only dispatches its next +// runnable after running the current event. That approach is necessary +// for TaskQueue in order to work with thread pool targets. +// +// So, if you are targeting a thread pool you probably want a TaskQueue. +// If you are targeting a single thread or other non-concurrent event +// target, you probably want a ThrottledEventQueue. +// +// If you drop a ThrottledEventQueue while its queue still has events to be run, +// they will continue to be dispatched as usual to the base. Only once the last +// event has run will all the ThrottledEventQueue's memory be freed. +class ThrottledEventQueue final : public nsISerialEventTarget { + class Inner; + RefPtr<Inner> mInner; + + explicit ThrottledEventQueue(already_AddRefed<Inner> aInner); + ~ThrottledEventQueue() = default; + + public: + // Create a ThrottledEventQueue for the given target. + static already_AddRefed<ThrottledEventQueue> Create( + nsISerialEventTarget* aBaseTarget, const char* aName, + uint32_t aPriority = nsIRunnablePriority::PRIORITY_NORMAL); + + // Determine if there are any events pending in the queue. + bool IsEmpty() const; + + // Determine how many events are pending in the queue. + uint32_t Length() const; + + already_AddRefed<nsIRunnable> GetEvent(); + + // Block the current thread until the queue is empty.
