  18 // OVERVIEW:
  19 //
  20 //   A container for a list of observers.  Unlike a normal STL vector or list,
  21 //   this container can be modified during iteration without invalidating the
  22 //   iterator.  So, it safely handles the case of an observer removing itself
  23 //   or other observers from the list while observers are being notified.
  24 //
  25 // TYPICAL USAGE:
  26 //
  27 //   class MyWidget {
  28 //    public:
  29 //     ...
  30 //
  31 //     class Observer {
  32 //      public:
  33 //       virtual void OnFoo(MyWidget* w) = 0;
  34 //       virtual void OnBar(MyWidget* w, int x, int y) = 0;
  35 //     };
  36 //
  37 //     void AddObserver(Observer* obs) {
  38 //       observer_list_.AddObserver(obs);
  39 //     }
  40 //
  41 //     void RemoveObserver(Observer* obs) {
  42 //       observer_list_.RemoveObserver(obs);
  43 //     }
  44 //
  45 //     void NotifyFoo() {
  46 //       FOR_EACH_OBSERVER(Observer, observer_list_, OnFoo(this));
  47 //     }
  48 //
  49 //     void NotifyBar(int x, int y) {
  50 //       FOR_EACH_OBSERVER(Observer, observer_list_, OnBar(this, x, y));
  51 //     }
