This documentation helps * to understand how to play with DOM Workers correctly. * * There are several reasons why a DOM Worker could go away. Here is the * complete list: * * a. GC/CC - If the DOM Worker thread is idle and the Worker object is garbage * collected, it goes away. * b. The worker script can call self.close() * c. The Worker object calls worker.terminate() * d. Firefox is shutting down. * * When a DOM Worker goes away, it does several steps. See more in * WorkerStatus.h. The DOM Worker thread will basically stop scheduling * WorkerRunnables, and eventually WorkerControlRunnables. But if there is * something preventing the shutting down, it will always possible to dispatch * WorkerControlRunnables. Of course, at some point, the worker _must_ be * released, otherwise firefox will leak it and the browser shutdown will hang. * * WeakWorkerRef is a refcounted, NON thread-safe object. * * From this object, you can obtain a WorkerPrivate, calling * WeakWorkerRef::GetPrivate(). It returns nullptr if the worker is shutting * down or if it is already gone away. * * If you want to know when a DOM Worker starts the shutting down procedure, * pass a callback to the mozilla::dom::WeakWorkerRef::Create() method. * Your function will be called. Note that _after_ the callback, * WeakWorkerRef::GetPrivate() will return nullptr. * * How to keep a DOM Worker alive? * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * * If you need to keep the worker alive, you must use StrongWorkerRef. * You can have this refcounted, NON thread-safe object, calling * mozilla::dom::StrongWorkerRef::Create(WorkerPrivate* aWorkerPrivate); * * If you have a StrongWorkerRef: * a. the DOM Worker is kept alive. * b. you can have access to the WorkerPrivate, calling: Private(). * c. WorkerControlRunnable can be dispatched. * * Note that the DOM Worker shutdown can start at any time, but having a * StrongWorkerRef prevents the full shutdown. Also with StrongWorkerRef, you * can pass a callback when calling mozilla::dom::StrongWorkerRef::Create(). * * When the DOM Worker shutdown starts, WorkerRunnable cannot be dispatched * anymore. At this point, you should dispatch WorkerControlRunnable just to * release resources. * * How to have a thread-safe DOM Worker reference? * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * * Sometimes you need to play with threads and you need a thread-safe worker * reference. ThreadSafeWorkerRef is what you want. * * Just because this object can be sent to different threads, we don't allow the * setting of a callback. It would be confusing. * * ThreadSafeWorkerRef can be destroyed in any thread. Internally it keeps a * reference to its StrongWorkerRef creator and this ref will be dropped on the * correct thread when the ThreadSafeWorkerRef is deleted. * * IPC WorkerRef * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * * IPDL protocols require a correct shutdown sequence. Because of this, they * need a special configuration: * 1. they need to be informed when the Worker starts the shutting down * 2. they don't want to prevent the shutdown * 3. but at the same time, they need to block the shutdown until the WorkerRef * is not longer alive. * * Point 1 is a standard feature of WorkerRef; point 2 is similar to * WeakWorkerRef; point 3 is similar to StrongWorkerRef. * * You can create a special IPC WorkerRef using this static method: * mozilla::dom::IPCWorkerRef::Create(WorkerPrivate* aWorkerPrivate, * const char* * aName); */ class WorkerPrivate; class StrongWorkerRef; class ThreadSafeWorkerRef; class WorkerRef { friend class WorkerPrivate; public: NS_INLINE_DECL_REFCOUNTING(WorkerRef) protected: WorkerRef(WorkerPrivate* aWorkerPrivate, const char* aName, bool aIsPreventingShutdown); virtual ~WorkerRef(); virtual void Notify(); bool HoldWorker(WorkerStatus aStatus); void ReleaseWorker(); bool IsPreventingShutdown() const { return mIsPreventingShutdown; } const char* Name() const { return mName; } WorkerPrivate* mWorkerPrivate; MoveOnlyFunction mCallback; const char* const mName; const bool mIsPreventingShutdown; // True if this WorkerRef has been added to a WorkerPrivate. bool mHolding; }; class WeakWorkerRef final : public WorkerRef { public: static already_AddRefed Create( WorkerPrivate* aWorkerPrivate, MoveOnlyFunction&& aCallback = nullptr); WorkerPrivate* GetPrivate() const; // This can be called on any thread.
