  81 // Certain behavior is disallowed on certain threads.  ThreadRestrictions helps
  82 // enforce these rules.  Examples of such rules:
  83 //
  84 // * Do not do blocking IO (makes the thread janky)
  85 // * Do not access Singleton/LazyInstance (may lead to shutdown crashes)
  86 //
  87 // Here's more about how the protection works:
  88 //
  89 // 1) If a thread should not be allowed to make IO calls, mark it:
  90 //      base::ThreadRestrictions::SetIOAllowed(false);
  91 //    By default, threads *are* allowed to make IO calls.
  92 //    In Chrome browser code, IO calls should be proxied to the File thread.
  93 //
  94 // 2) If a function makes a call that will go out to disk, check whether the
  95 //    current thread is allowed:
  96 //      base::ThreadRestrictions::AssertIOAllowed();
  97 //
  98 //
  99 // Style tip: where should you put AssertIOAllowed checks?  It's best
 100 // if you put them as close to the disk access as possible, at the
 101 // lowest level.  This rule is simple to follow and helps catch all
 102 // callers.  For example, if your function GoDoSomeBlockingDiskCall()
 103 // only calls other functions in Chrome and not fopen(), you should go
 104 // add the AssertIOAllowed checks in the helper functions.
