|
| - * 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.
