// The PendingTaskSafetyFlag and the ScopedTaskSafety are designed to address
// the issue where you have a task to be executed later that has references,
// but cannot guarantee that the referenced object is alive when the task is
// executed.

// This mechanism can be used with tasks that are created and destroyed
// on a single thread / task queue, and with tasks posted to the same
// thread/task queue, but tasks can be posted from any thread/TQ.

// Typical usage:
// When posting a task, post a copy (capture by-value in a lambda) of the flag
// reference and before performing the work, check the `alive()` state. Abort if
// alive() returns `false`:
//
// class ExampleClass {
// ....
//    my_task_queue_->PostTask(ToQueuedTask(
//        [safety = pending_task_safety_flag_, this]() {
//          // Now running on the main thread.
//          if (!safety->alive())
//            return;
//          MyMethod();
//        }));
//   ....
//   ~ExampleClass() {
//     pending_task_safety_flag_->SetNotAlive();
//   }
//   scoped_refptr<PendingTaskSafetyFlag> pending_task_safety_flag_
//        = PendingTaskSafetyFlag::Create();
// }
//
// ToQueuedTask has an overload that makes this check automatic:
//
//    my_task_queue_->PostTask(ToQueuedTask(pending_task_safety_flag_,
//        [this]() { MyMethod(); }));

  // The SetAlive method is intended to support Start/Stop/Restart usecases.
  // When a class has called SetNotAlive on a flag used for posted tasks, and
  // decides it wants to post new tasks and have them run, there are two
  // reasonable ways to do that:
  //
  // (i) Use the below SetAlive method. One subtlety is that any task posted
  //     prior to SetNotAlive, and still in the queue, is resurrected and will
  //     run.
  //
  // (ii) Create a fresh flag, and just drop the reference to the old one. This
  //      avoids the above problem, and ensures that tasks poster prior to
  //      SetNotAlive stay cancelled. Instead, there's a potential data race on
  //      the flag pointer itself. Some synchronization is required between the
  //      thread overwriting the flag pointer, and the threads that want to post
  //      tasks and therefore read that same pointer.

// The ScopedTaskSafety makes using PendingTaskSafetyFlag very simple.
// It does automatic PTSF creation and signalling of destruction when the
// ScopedTaskSafety instance goes out of scope.
//
// ToQueuedTask has an overload that takes a ScopedTaskSafety too, so there
// is no need to explicitly call the "flag" method.
//
// Example usage:
//
//     my_task_queue->PostTask(ToQueuedTask(scoped_task_safety,
//        [this]() {
//             // task goes here
//        }

// This should be used by the class that wants tasks dropped after destruction.
// The requirement is that the instance has to be constructed and destructed on
// the same thread as the potentially dropped tasks would be running on.
