// A MessageLoop is used to process events for a particular thread.  There is
// at most one MessageLoop instance per thread.
//
// Events include at a minimum Task instances submitted to PostTask or those
// managed by TimerManager.  Depending on the type of message pump used by the
// MessageLoop other events such as UI messages may be processed.  On Windows
// APC calls (as time permits) and signals sent to a registered set of HANDLEs
// may also be processed.
//
// NOTE: Unless otherwise specified, a MessageLoop's methods may only be called
// on the thread where the MessageLoop's Run method executes.
//
// NOTE: MessageLoop has task reentrancy protection.  This means that if a
// task is being processed, a second task cannot start until the first task is
// finished.  Reentrancy can happen when processing a task, and an inner
// message pump is created.  That inner pump then processes native messages
// which could implicitly start an inner task.  Inner message pumps are created
// with dialogs (DialogBox), common dialogs (GetOpenFileName), OLE functions
// (DoDragDrop), printer functions (StartDoc) and *many* others.
//
// Sample workaround when inner task processing is needed:
//   bool old_state = MessageLoop::current()->NestableTasksAllowed();
//   MessageLoop::current()->SetNestableTasksAllowed(true);
//   HRESULT hr = DoDragDrop(...); // Implicitly runs a modal message loop here.
//   MessageLoop::current()->SetNestableTasksAllowed(old_state);
//   // Process hr  (the result returned by DoDragDrop().
//
// Please be SURE your task is reentrant (nestable) and all global variables
// are stable and accessible before calling SetNestableTasksAllowed(true).
