/*
 * media::Pledge - A promise-like pattern for c++ that takes lambda functions.
 *
 * Asynchronous APIs that proxy to another thread or to the chrome process and
 * back may find it useful to return a pledge to callers who then use
 * pledge.Then(func) to specify a lambda function to be invoked with the result
 * later back on this same thread.
 *
 * Callers will enjoy that lambdas allow "capturing" of local variables, much
 * like closures in JavaScript (safely by-copy by default).
 *
 * Callers will also enjoy that they do not need to be thread-safe (their code
 * runs on the same thread after all).
 *
 * Advantageously, pledges are non-threadsafe by design (because locking and
 * event queues are redundant). This means none of the lambdas you pass in,
 * or variables you lambda-capture into them, need be threasafe or support
 * threadsafe refcounting. After all, they'll run later on the same thread.
 *
 *   RefPtr<media::Pledge<Foo>> p = GetFooAsynchronously(); // returns a pledge
 *   p->Then([](const Foo& foo) {
 *     // use foo here (same thread. Need not be thread-safe!)
 *   });
 *
 * See media::CoatCheck below for an example of GetFooAsynchronously().

/* media::NewRunnableFrom() - Create a Runnable from a lambda.

 *       FooRunnable(const Bar &aBar) : mBar(aBar) {}

 *     };
 *
 *     RefPtr<Bar> bar = new Bar();
 *     NS_DispatchToMainThread(new FooRunnable(bar);
 *   }
 *
 * It's worse with more variables. Lambdas have a leg up with variable capture:
 *
 *   void Foo()
 *   {
 *     RefPtr<Bar> bar = new Bar();
 *     NS_DispatchToMainThread(media::NewRunnableFrom([bar]() mutable {
 *       // use bar
 *     });
 *   }
 *
 * Capture is by-copy by default, so the nsRefPtr 'bar' is safely copied for
 * access on the other thread (threadsafe refcounting in bar is assumed).
 *
 * The 'mutable' keyword is only needed for non-const access to bar.

/* media::CoatCheck - There and back again. Park an object in exchange for an id.
 *
 * A common problem with calling asynchronous functions that do work on other
 * threads or processes is how to pass in a heap object for use once the
 * function completes, without requiring that object to have threadsafe
 * refcounting, contain mutexes, be marshaled, or leak if things fail
 * (or worse, intermittent use-after-free because of lifetime issues).
 *
 * One solution is to set up a coat-check on the caller side, park your object
 * in exchange for an id, and send the id. Common in IPC, but equally useful
 * for same-process thread-hops, because by never leaving the thread there's
 * no need for objects to be threadsafe or use threadsafe refcounting. E.g.
 *
 *   class FooDoer
 *   {
 *     CoatCheck<Foo> mOutstandingFoos;
 *
 *   public:
 *     void DoFoo()
 *     {
 *       RefPtr<Foo> foo = new Foo();
 *       uint32_t requestId = mOutstandingFoos.Append(*foo);
 *       sChild->SendFoo(requestId);
 *     }
 *
 *     void RecvFooResponse(uint32_t requestId)
 *     {
 *       RefPtr<Foo> foo = mOutstandingFoos.Remove(requestId);
 *       if (foo) {
 *         // use foo
 *       }
 *     }
 *   };
 *
 * If you read media::Pledge earlier, here's how this is useful for pledges:
 *
 *   class FooGetter
 *   {
 *     CoatCheck<Pledge<Foo>> mOutstandingPledges;
 *
 *   public:
 *     already_addRefed<Pledge<Foo>> GetFooAsynchronously()
 *     {
 *       RefPtr<Pledge<Foo>> p = new Pledge<Foo>();
 *       uint32_t requestId = mOutstandingPledges.Append(*p);
 *       sChild->SendFoo(requestId);
 *       return p.forget();
 *     }
 *
 *     void RecvFooResponse(uint32_t requestId, const Foo& fooResult)
 *     {
 *       RefPtr<Foo> p = mOutstandingPledges.Remove(requestId);
 *       if (p) {
 *         p->Resolve(fooResult);
 *       }
 *     }
 *   };
 *
 * This helper is currently optimized for very small sets (i.e. not optimized).
 * It is also not thread-safe as the whole point is to stay on the same thread.

/* media::Refcountable - Add threadsafe ref-counting to something that isn't.
 *
 * Often, reference counting is the most practical way to share an object with
 * another thread without imposing lifetime restrictions, even if there's
 * otherwise no concurrent access happening on the object.  For instance, an
 * algorithm on another thread may find it more expedient to modify a passed-in
 * object, rather than pass expensive copies back and forth.
 *
 * Lists in particular often aren't ref-countable, yet are expensive to copy,
 * e.g. nsTArray<RefPtr<Foo>>. Refcountable can be used to make such objects
 * (or owning smart-pointers to such objects) refcountable.
 *
 * Technical limitation: A template specialization is needed for types that take
 * a constructor. Please add below (UniquePtr covers a lot of ground though).
