32 // How history autocomplete works
33 // ==============================
35 // Read down this diagram for temporal ordering.
37 // Main thread History thread
38 // ----------- --------------
39 // AutocompleteController::Start
40 // -> HistoryURLProvider::Start
41 // -> SuggestExactInput
42 // [params_ allocated]
43 // -> DoAutocomplete (for inline autocomplete)
44 // -> URLDatabase::AutocompleteForPrefix (on in-memory DB)
45 // -> HistoryService::ScheduleAutocomplete
46 // (return to controller) ----
48 // HistoryBackend::ScheduleAutocomplete
49 // -> HistoryURLProvider::ExecuteWithDB
51 // -> URLDatabase::AutocompleteForPrefix
53 // HistoryService::QueryComplete
54 // [params_ destroyed]
55 // -> AutocompleteProviderListener::OnProviderUpdate
57 // The autocomplete controller calls us, and must be called back, on the main
58 // thread. When called, we run two autocomplete passes. The first pass runs
59 // synchronously on the main thread and queries the in-memory URL database.
60 // This pass promotes matches for inline autocomplete if applicable. We do
61 // this synchronously so that users get consistent behavior when they type
62 // quickly and hit enter, no matter how loaded the main history database is.
63 // Doing this synchronously also prevents inline autocomplete from being
64 // "flickery" in the AutocompleteEdit. Because the in-memory DB does not have
65 // redirect data, results other than the top match might change between the
66 // two passes, so we can't just decide to use this pass' matches as the final
69 // The second autocomplete pass uses the full history database, which must be
70 // queried on the history thread. Start() asks the history service schedule to
71 // callback on the history thread with a pointer to the main database. When we
72 // are done doing queries, we schedule a task on the main thread that notifies
73 // the AutocompleteController that we're done.
75 // The communication between these threads is done using a
76 // HistoryURLProviderParams object. This is allocated in the main thread, and
77 // normally deleted in QueryComplete(). So that both autocomplete passes can
78 // use the same code, we also use this to hold results during the first
81 // While the second pass is running, the AutocompleteController may cancel the
82 // request. This can happen frequently when the user is typing quickly. In
83 // this case, the main thread sets params_->cancel, which the background thread
84 // checks periodically. If it finds the flag set, it stops what it's doing
85 // immediately and calls back to the main thread. (We don't delete the params
86 // on the history thread, because we should only do that when we can safely
87 // NULL out params_, and that must be done on the main thread.)
