37 // This class encapsulates a var so that we can serialize and deserialize it.
38 // The problem is that for strings, serialization and deserialization requires
39 // knowledge from outside about how to get at or create a string. So this
40 // object groups the var with a dispatcher so that string values can be set or
41 // gotten.
43 // Declare IPC messages as using this type, but don't use it directly (it has
44 // no useful public methods). Instead, instantiate one of the helper classes
45 // below which are conveniently named for each use case to prevent screwups.
47 // Design background
48 // -----------------
49 // This is sadly super complicated. The IPC system needs a consistent type to
50 // use for sending and receiving vars (this is a SerializedVar). But there are
51 // different combinations of reference counting for sending and receiving
52 // objects and for dealing with strings
54 // This makes SerializedVar complicated and easy to mess up. To make it
55 // reasonable to use, all functions are protected and there are use-specific
56 // classes that each encapsulate exactly one type of use in a way that typically
57 // won't compile if you do the wrong thing.
59 // The IPC system is designed to pass things around and will make copies in
60 // some cases, so our system must be designed so that this stuff will work.
61 // This is challenging when the SerializedVar must do some cleanup after the
62 // message is sent. To work around this, we create an inner class using a
63 // linked_ptr so all copies of a SerializedVar can share and we can guarantee
64 // that the actual data will get cleaned up on shutdown.
66 // Constness
67 // ---------
68 // SerializedVar basically doesn't support const. Everything is mutable and
69 // most functions are declared const. This unfortunateness is because of the
70 // way the IPC system works. When deserializing, it will have a const
71 // SerializedVar in a Tuple and this will be given to the function. We kind of
72 // want to modify that to convert strings and do refcounting.
74 // The helper classes used for accessing the SerializedVar have more reasonable
75 // behavior and will enforce that you don't do stupid things.
