89 * <code>PP_CompletionCallback</code> is a common mechanism for supporting
90 * potentially asynchronous calls in browser interfaces. Any method that takes a
91 * <code>PP_CompletionCallback</code> can be used in one of three different
92 * ways:
93 * - Required: The callback will always be invoked asynchronously on the
94 * thread where the associated PPB method was invoked. The method
95 * will always return PP_OK_COMPLETIONPENDING when a required
96 * callback, and the callback will be invoked later (barring
97 * system or thread shutdown; see PPB_MessageLoop for details).
98 * Required callbacks are the default.
99 * <br /><br />
100 * NOTE: If you use a required callback on a background thread,
101 * you must have created and attached a PPB_MessageLoop.
102 * Otherwise, the system can not run your callback on that thread,
103 * and will instead emit a log message and crash your plugin to
104 * make the problem more obvious.
106 * - Optional: The callback may be invoked asynchronously, or the PPB method
107 * may complete synchronously if it can do so without blocking.
108 * If the method will complete asynchronously, it will return
109 * PP_OK_COMPLETIONPENDING. Otherwise, it will complete
110 * synchronously and return an appropriate code (see below for
111 * more information on the return code). Optional callbacks are
112 * generally more difficult to use correctly than Required
113 * callbacks, but can provide better performance for some APIs
114 * (especially APIs with buffered reads, such as PPB_URLLoader or
115 * PPB_FileIO).
116 * <br /><br />
117 * NOTE: If you use an optional callback on a background thread,
118 * and you have not created and attached a PPB_MessageLoop, then
119 * the method you invoke will fail without running and return
120 * PP_ERROR_NO_MESSAGE_LOOP.
122 * - Blocking: In this case, the callback's function pointer is NULL, and the
123 * invoked method must complete synchronously. The method will
124 * run to completion and return an appropriate code when finished
125 * (see below for more information). Blocking completion
126 * callbacks are only supported on background threads.
127 * <br /><br />
128 * <code>PP_BlockUntilComplete()</code> provides a convenient way
129 * to specify blocking behavior. Refer to
130 * <code>PP_BlockUntilComplete</code> for more information.
132 * When the callback is run asynchronously, the result parameter passed to
133 * <code>func</code> is an int32_t that, if negative indicates an error code
134 * whose meaning is specific to the calling method (refer to
135 * <code>pp_error.h</code> for further information). A positive or 0 value is a
136 * return result indicating success whose meaning depends on the calling method
137 * (e.g. number of bytes read).
