-/**
- * A message loop allows PPAPI calls to be issued on a thread. You may not
- * issue any API calls on a thread without creating a message loop. It also
- * allows you to post work to the message loop for a thread.
- *
- * To process work posted to the message loop, as well as completion callbacks
- * for asynchronous operations, you must run the message loop via Run().
- *
- * Note the system manages the lifetime of the instance (and all associated
- * resources). If the instance is deleted from the page, background threads may
- * suddenly see their PP_Resource handles become invalid. In this case, calls
- * will fail with PP_ERROR_BADRESOURCE. If you need to access data associated
- * with your instance, you will probably want to create some kind of threadsafe
- * proxy object that can handle asynchonous destruction of the instance object.
- *
- * Typical usage:
- *   On the main thread:
- *    - Create the thread yourself (using pthreads).
- *    - Create the message loop resource.
- *    - Pass the message loop resource to your thread's main function.
- *    - Call PostWork() on the message loop to run functions on the thread.
- *
- *   From the background thread's main function:
- *    - Call AttachToCurrentThread() with the message loop resource.
- *    - Call Run() with the message loop resource.
- *
- *   Your callacks should look like this:
- *      void DoMyWork(void* user_data, int32_t status) {
- *        if (status != PP_OK) {
- *          Cleanup();  // e.g. free user_data.
- *          return;
- *        }
- *        ... do your work...
- *      }
- * For a C++ example, see ppapi/utility/threading/simple_thread.h
- *
- * (You can also create the message loop resource on the background thread,
- * but then the main thread will have no reference to it should you want to
- * call PostWork()).
- *
- *
- * THREAD HANDLING
- *
- * The main thread has an implicitly created message loop. The main thread is
- * the thread where PPP_InitializeModule and PPP_Instance functions are called.
- * You can retrieve a reference to this message loop by calling
- * GetForMainThread() or, if your code is on the main thread,
- * GetForCurrentThread() will also work.
- *
- * Some special threads created by the system can not have message loops. In
- * particular, the background thread created for audio processing has this
- * requirement because it's intended to be highly responsive to keep up with
- * the realtime requirements of audio processing. You can not make PPAPI calls
- * from these threads.
- *
- * Once you associate a message loop with a thread, you don't have to keep a
- * reference to it. The system will hold a reference to the message loop for as
- * long as the thread is running. The current message loop can be retrieved
- * using the GetCurrent() function.
- *
- * It is legal to create threads in your plugin without message loops, but
- * PPAPI calls will fail unless explicitly noted in the documentation.
- *
- * You can create a message loop object on a thread and never actually run the
- * message loop. This will allow you to call blocking PPAPI calls (via
- * PP_BlockUntilComplete()). If you make any asynchronous calls, the callbacks
- * from those calls will be queued in the message loop and never run. The same
- * thing will happen if work is scheduled after the message loop exits and
- * the message loop is not run again.
- *
- *
- * DESTRUCTION AND ERROR HANDLING
- *
- * Often, your application will associate memory with completion callbacks. For
- * example, the C++ CompletionCallbackFactory has a small amount of
- * heap-allocated memory for each callback. This memory will be leaked if the
- * callback is never run. To avoid this memory leak, you need to be careful
- * about error handling and shutdown.
- *
- * There are a number of cases where posted callbacks will never be run:
- *
- *  - You tear down the thread (via pthreads) without "destroying" the message
- *    loop (via PostQuit with should_destroy = PP_TRUE). In this case, any
- *    tasks in the message queue will be lost.
- *
- *  - You create a message loop, post callbacks to it, and never run it.
- *
- *  - You quit the message loop via PostQuit with should_destroy set to
- *    PP_FALSE. In this case, the system will assume the message loop will be
- *    run again later and keep your tasks.
- *
- * To do proper shutdown, call PostQuit with should_destroy = PP_TRUE. This
- * will prohibit future work from being posted, and will allow the message loop
- * to run until all pending tasks are run.
- *
- * If you post a callback to a message loop that's been destroyed, or to an
- * invalid message loop, PostWork will return an error and will not run the
- * callback. This is true even for callbacks with the "required" flag set,
- * since the system may not even know what thread to issue the error callback
- * on.
- *
- * Therefore, you should check for errors from PostWork and destroy any
- * associated memory to avoid leaks. If you're using the C++
- * CompletionCallbackFactory, use the following pattern:
- *
- *   pp::CompletionCallback callback = factory_.NewOptionalCallback(...);
- *   int32_t result = message_loop.PostWork(callback);
- *   if (result != PP_OK_COMPLETIONPENDING)
- *     callback.Run(result);
- *
- * This will run the callback with an error value, and assumes that the
- * implementation of your callback checks the "result" argument and returns
- * immediately on error.
