24 // BrowserThread
25 //
26 // This class represents a thread that is known by a browser-wide name. For
27 // example, there is one IO thread for the entire browser process, and various
28 // pieces of code find it useful to retrieve a pointer to the IO thread's
29 // Invoke a task by thread ID:
30 //
31 // BrowserThread::PostTask(BrowserThread::IO, FROM_HERE, task);
32 //
33 // The return value is false if the task couldn't be posted because the target
34 // thread doesn't exist. If this could lead to data loss, you need to check the
35 // result and restructure the code to ensure it doesn't occur.
36 //
37 // This class automatically handles the lifetime of different threads.
38 // It's always safe to call PostTask on any thread. If it's not yet created,
39 // the task is deleted. There are no race conditions. If the thread that the
40 // task is posted to is guaranteed to outlive the current thread, then no locks
41 // are used. You should never need to cache pointers to MessageLoops, since
42 // they're not thread safe.
