31 // IPC::ChannelProxy
33 // This class is a helper class that is useful when you wish to run an IPC
34 // channel on a background thread. It provides you with the option of either
35 // handling IPC messages on that background thread or having them dispatched to
36 // your main thread (the thread on which the IPC::ChannelProxy is created).
38 // The API for an IPC::ChannelProxy is very similar to that of an IPC::Channel.
39 // When you send a message to an IPC::ChannelProxy, the message is routed to
40 // the background thread, where it is then passed to the IPC::Channel's Send
41 // method. This means that you can send a message from your thread and your
42 // message will be sent over the IPC channel when possible instead of being
43 // delayed until your thread returns to its message loop. (Often IPC messages
44 // will queue up on the IPC::Channel when there is a lot of traffic, and the
45 // channel will not get cycles to flush its message queue until the thread, on
46 // which it is running, returns to its message loop.)
48 // An IPC::ChannelProxy can have a MessageFilter associated with it, which will
49 // be notified of incoming messages on the IPC::Channel's thread. This gives
50 // the consumer of IPC::ChannelProxy the ability to respond to incoming
51 // messages on this background thread instead of on their own thread, which may
52 // be bogged down with other processing. The result can be greatly improved
53 // latency for messages that can be handled on a background thread.
55 // The consumer of IPC::ChannelProxy is responsible for allocating the Thread
56 // instance where the IPC::Channel will be created and operated.
