30 // This is similar to ChannelProxy, with the added feature of supporting sending
31 // synchronous messages.
33 // Overview of how the sync channel works
34 // --------------------------------------
35 // When the sending thread sends a synchronous message, we create a bunch
36 // of tracking info (created in Send, stored in the PendingSyncMsg
37 // structure) associated with the message that we identify by the unique
38 // "MessageId" on the SyncMessage. Among the things we save is the
39 // "Deserializer" which is provided by the sync message. This object is in
40 // charge of reading the parameters from the reply message and putting them in
41 // the output variables provided by its caller.
43 // The info gets stashed in a queue since we could have a nested stack of sync
44 // messages (each side could send sync messages in response to sync messages,
45 // so it works like calling a function). The message is sent to the I/O thread
46 // for dispatch and the original thread blocks waiting for the reply.
48 // SyncContext maintains the queue in a threadsafe way and listens for replies
49 // on the I/O thread. When a reply comes in that matches one of the messages
50 // it's looking for (using the unique message ID), it will execute the
51 // deserializer stashed from before, and unblock the original thread.
54 // Significant complexity results from the fact that messages are still coming
55 // in while the original thread is blocked. Normal async messages are queued
56 // and dispatched after the blocking call is complete. Sync messages must
57 // be dispatched in a reentrant manner to avoid deadlock.
60 // Note that care must be taken that the lifetime of the ipc_thread argument
61 // is more than this object. If the message loop goes away while this object
62 // is running and it's used to send a message, then it will use the invalid
63 // message loop pointer to proxy it to the ipc thread.
