22 ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
24 // OVERVIEW:
26 // A thread-safe container for a list of observers.
27 // This is similar to the observer_list (see observer_list.h), but it
28 // is more robust for multi-threaded situations.
30 // The following use cases are supported:
31 // * Observers can register for notifications from any thread.
32 // Callbacks to the observer will occur on the same thread where
33 // the observer initially called AddObserver() from.
34 // * Any thread may trigger a notification via Notify().
35 // * Observers can remove themselves from the observer list inside
36 // of a callback.
37 // * If one thread is notifying observers concurrently with an observer
38 // removing itself from the observer list, the notifications will
39 // be silently dropped.
41 // The drawback of the threadsafe observer list is that notifications
42 // are not as real-time as the non-threadsafe version of this class.
43 // Notifications will always be done via PostTask() to another thread,
44 // whereas with the non-thread-safe observer_list, notifications happen
45 // synchronously and immediately.
47 // IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
48 // The ObserverListThreadSafe maintains an ObserverList for each thread
49 // which uses the ThreadSafeObserver. When Notifying the observers,
50 // we simply call PostTask to each registered thread, and then each thread
51 // will notify its regular ObserverList.
