-// A SequencedTaskRunner is a subclass of TaskRunner that provides
-// additional guarantees on the order that tasks are started, as well
-// as guarantees on when tasks are in sequence, i.e. one task finishes
-// before the other one starts.
-//
-// Summary
-// -------
-// Non-nested tasks with the same delay will run one by one in FIFO
-// order.
-//
-// Detailed guarantees
-// -------------------
-//
-// SequencedTaskRunner also adds additional methods for posting
-// non-nestable tasks.  In general, an implementation of TaskRunner
-// may expose task-running methods which are themselves callable from
-// within tasks.  A non-nestable task is one that is guaranteed to not
-// be run from within an already-running task.  Conversely, a nestable
-// task (the default) is a task that can be run from within an
-// already-running task.
-//
-// The guarantees of SequencedTaskRunner are as follows:
-//
-//   - Given two tasks T2 and T1, T2 will start after T1 starts if:
-//
-//       * T2 is posted after T1; and
-//       * T2 has equal or higher delay than T1; and
-//       * T2 is non-nestable or T1 is nestable.
-//
-//   - If T2 will start after T1 starts by the above guarantee, then
-//     T2 will start after T1 finishes and is destroyed if:
-//
-//       * T2 is non-nestable, or
-//       * T1 doesn't call any task-running methods.
-//
-//   - If T2 will start after T1 finishes by the above guarantee, then
-//     all memory changes in T1 and T1's destruction will be visible
-//     to T2.
-//
-//   - If T2 runs nested within T1 via a call to the task-running
-//     method M, then all memory changes in T1 up to the call to M
-//     will be visible to T2, and all memory changes in T2 will be
-//     visible to T1 from the return from M.
-//
-// Note that SequencedTaskRunner does not guarantee that tasks are run
-// on a single dedicated thread, although the above guarantees provide
-// most (but not all) of the same guarantees.  If you do need to
-// guarantee that tasks are run on a single dedicated thread, see
-// SingleThreadTaskRunner (in single_thread_task_runner.h).
-//
-// Some corollaries to the above guarantees, assuming the tasks in
-// question don't call any task-running methods:
-//
-//   - Tasks posted via PostTask are run in FIFO order.
-//
-//   - Tasks posted via PostNonNestableTask are run in FIFO order.
-//
-//   - Tasks posted with the same delay and the same nestable state
-//     are run in FIFO order.
-//
-//   - A list of tasks with the same nestable state posted in order of
-//     non-decreasing delay is run in FIFO order.
-//
-//   - A list of tasks posted in order of non-decreasing delay with at
-//     most a single change in nestable state from nestable to
-//     non-nestable is run in FIFO order. (This is equivalent to the
-//     statement of the first guarantee above.)
-//
-// Some theoretical implementations of SequencedTaskRunner:
-//
-//   - A SequencedTaskRunner that wraps a regular TaskRunner but makes
-//     sure that only one task at a time is posted to the TaskRunner,
-//     with appropriate memory barriers in between tasks.
-//
-//   - A SequencedTaskRunner that, for each task, spawns a joinable
-//     thread to run that task and immediately quit, and then
-//     immediately joins that thread.
-//
-//   - A SequencedTaskRunner that stores the list of posted tasks and
-//     has a method Run() that runs each runnable task in FIFO order
-//     that can be called from any thread, but only if another
-//     (non-nested) Run() call isn't already happening.
-class BASE_EXPORT SequencedTaskRunner : public TaskRunner {
- public:
-  // The two PostNonNestable*Task methods below are like their
-  // nestable equivalents in TaskRunner, but they guarantee that the
-  // posted task will not run nested within an already-running task.
-  //
-  // A simple corollary is that posting a task as non-nestable can
-  // only delay when the task gets run.  That is, posting a task as
-  // non-nestable may not affect when the task gets run, or it could
-  // make it run later than it normally would, but it won't make it
-  // run earlier than it normally would.
