//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// IPC::ChannelProxy
//
// This class is a helper class that is useful when you wish to run an IPC
// channel on a background thread.  It provides you with the option of either
// handling IPC messages on that background thread or having them dispatched to
// your main thread (the thread on which the IPC::ChannelProxy is created).
//
// The API for an IPC::ChannelProxy is very similar to that of an IPC::Channel.
// When you send a message to an IPC::ChannelProxy, the message is routed to
// the background thread, where it is then passed to the IPC::Channel's Send
// method.  This means that you can send a message from your thread and your
// message will be sent over the IPC channel when possible instead of being
// delayed until your thread returns to its message loop.  (Often IPC messages
// will queue up on the IPC::Channel when there is a lot of traffic, and the
// channel will not get cycles to flush its message queue until the thread, on
// which it is running, returns to its message loop.)
//
// An IPC::ChannelProxy can have a MessageFilter associated with it, which will
// be notified of incoming messages on the IPC::Channel's thread.  This gives
// the consumer of IPC::ChannelProxy the ability to respond to incoming
// messages on this background thread instead of on their own thread, which may
// be bogged down with other processing.  The result can be greatly improved
// latency for messages that can be handled on a background thread.
//
// The consumer of IPC::ChannelProxy is responsible for allocating the Thread
// instance where the IPC::Channel will be created and operated.
//
class IPC_EXPORT ChannelProxy : public Sender, public base::NonThreadSafe {
 public:
  // Initializes a channel proxy.  The channel_handle and mode parameters are
  // passed directly to the underlying IPC::Channel.  The listener is called on
  // the thread that creates the ChannelProxy.  The filter's OnMessageReceived
  // method is called on the thread where the IPC::Channel is running.  The
  // filter may be null if the consumer is not interested in handling messages
  // on the background thread.  Any message not handled by the filter will be
  // dispatched to the listener.  The given task runner correspond to a thread
  // on which IPC::Channel is created and used (e.g. IO thread).
