This still doesn't explain why; IIUC this object simply contains global
resources such as the TaskRunners on which Chromoting components run, right?

[solb, 2013/07/12 01:14:22]

Right.

See above.

[solb, 2013/07/12 01:14:22]

As covered in another comment, it's not racy because it's invoked on the same
thread as ConnectToHost().

   void DisconnectFromHost();
 
-  // Call from UI thread.
-  void AuthenticateWithPin(jstring pin);
+  void AuthenticateWithPin(const char* pin);

[Wez, 2013/07/12 00:24:48]

Comment to explain this, please!

[solb, 2013/07/12 01:14:22]

Done.

Chromium comment style would be something like:
"True if ConnectToHost() has been called without a subsequent
DisconnectFromHost(). i.e. |connected_| is true while connecting, or after the
connection has failed, until explicitly cleared via DisconnectFromHost()."

[solb, 2013/07/12 01:14:22]

Done.
