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

61 // the thread that creates the ChannelProxy. The filter's OnMessageReceived
62 // method is called on the thread where the IPC::Channel is running. The
63 // filter may be null if the consumer is not interested in handling messages
64 // on the background thread. Any message not handled by the filter will be
65 // dispatched to the listener. The given task runner correspond to a thread
66 // on which IPC::Channel is created and used (e.g. IO thread).
