I would put this inside CallbackListImpl.

[Cait (Slow), 2013/09/04 22:09:25]

Done.

don't -> do not

[Cait (Slow), 2013/09/04 22:09:25]

Done.

Add something about the meaning of the return value, what thread it's safe to
run on, and whether it's safe to run after the originating CallbackList is gone.

[Cait (Slow), 2013/09/04 22:09:25]

Done.

+  // callbacks.

[awong, 2013/09/04 18:48:21]

Can you add a little more explaining how this how this relates to Compact() and
why this isn't a "definitely non-zero" sort of check?

[Cait (Slow), 2013/09/04 22:09:25]

Replacing this with AssertEmpty for clarity.

+  bool might_have_callbacks() const { return size() != 0; }
+
+  // Remove a callback from the list if it is in the list.
+  void RemoveCallback(base::internal::CallbackBase* cb);

[awong, 2013/09/04 18:48:21]

I think all the following should be private.

Done.

+
+  // Compact the list (remove any elements which were nulled out during
+  // iteration).

+  // been compacted, some of these callbacks may be NULL.
