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. +class BASE_EXPORT TaskRunner + : public RefCountedThreadSafe<TaskRunner, TaskRunnerTraits> { + public: + // Posts the given task to be run.
