// Helper class to run the RunLoop::Delegate associated with the current thread.
// A RunLoop::Delegate must have been bound to this thread (ref.
// RunLoop::RegisterDelegateForCurrentThread()) prior to using any of RunLoop's
// member and static methods unless explicitly indicated otherwise (e.g.
// IsRunning/IsNestedOnCurrentThread()). RunLoop::Run can only be called once
// per RunLoop lifetime. Create a RunLoop on the stack and call Run/Quit to run
// a nested RunLoop but please do not use nested loops in production code!
class BASE_EXPORT RunLoop {
public:
// The type of RunLoop: a kDefault RunLoop at the top-level (non-nested) will
// process system and application tasks assigned to its Delegate. When nested
// however a kDefault RunLoop will only process system tasks while a
// kNestableTasksAllowed RunLoop will continue to process application tasks
// even if nested.
//
// This is relevant in the case of recursive RunLoops. Some unwanted run loops
// may occur when using common controls or printer functions. By default,
// recursive task processing is disabled.
//
// In general, nestable RunLoops are to be avoided. They are dangerous and
// difficult to get right, so please use with extreme caution.
//
// A specific example where this makes a difference is:
// - The thread is running a RunLoop.
// - It receives a task #1 and executes it.
// - The task #1 implicitly starts a RunLoop, like a MessageBox in the unit
// test. This can also be StartDoc or GetSaveFileName.
// - The thread receives a task #2 before or while in this second RunLoop.
// - With a kNestableTasksAllowed RunLoop, the task #2 will run right away.
// Otherwise, it will get executed right after task #1 completes in the main
// RunLoop.

// These methods are thread-safe but note that Quit() is best-effort when
// called from another thread (will quit soon but tasks that were already
// queued on this RunLoop will get to run first).
//
// There can be other nested RunLoops servicing the same task queue. Quitting
// one RunLoop has no bearing on the others. Quit() and QuitWhenIdle() can be
// called before, during or after Run(). If called before Run(), Run() will
// return immediately when called. Calling Quit() or QuitWhenIdle() after the
// RunLoop has already finished running has no effect.
//
// WARNING: You must NEVER assume that a call to Quit() or QuitWhenIdle() will
// terminate the targetted message loop. If a nested RunLoop continues
// running, the target may NEVER terminate. It is very easy to livelock (run
// forever) in such a case.
