| 26 // Introduction | |
| 27 // ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | |
| 28 // | |
| 29 // The templated Callback class is a generalized function object. Together | |
| 30 // with the Bind() function in bind.h, they provide a type-safe method for | |
| 31 // performing partial application of functions. | |
| 32 // | |
| 33 // Partial application (or "currying") is the process of binding a subset of | |
| 34 // a function's arguments to produce another function that takes fewer | |
| 35 // arguments. This can be used to pass around a unit of delayed execution, | |
| 36 // much like lexical closures are used in other languages. For example, it | |
| 37 // is used in Chromium code to schedule tasks on different MessageLoops. | |
| 38 // | |
| 39 // A callback with no unbound input parameters (base::Callback<void(void)>) | |
| 40 // is called a base::Closure. Note that this is NOT the same as what other | |
| 41 // languages refer to as a closure -- it does not retain a reference to its | |
| 42 // enclosing environment. | |
| 43 // | |
| 44 // MEMORY MANAGEMENT AND PASSING | |
| 45 // | |
| 46 // The Callback objects themselves should be passed by const-reference, and | |
| 47 // stored by copy. They internally store their state via a refcounted class | |
| 48 // and thus do not need to be deleted. | |
| 49 // | |
| 50 // The reason to pass via a const-reference is to avoid unnecessary | |
| 51 // AddRef/Release pairs to the internal state. | |
| 52 // | |
| 53 // | |

| 55 // Quick reference for basic stuff | |
| 56 // ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | |
| 57 // | |
| 58 // BINDING A BARE FUNCTION | |
| 59 // | |
| 60 // int Return5() { return 5; } | |
| 61 // base::Callback<int(void)> func_cb = base::Bind(&Return5); | |
| 62 // LOG(INFO) << func_cb.Run(); // Prints 5. | |
| 63 // | |
| 64 // BINDING A CLASS METHOD | |
| 65 // | |
| 66 // The first argument to bind is the member function to call, the second is | |
| 67 // the object on which to call it. | |
| 68 // | |
| 69 // class Ref : public base::RefCountedThreadSafe<Ref> { | |
| 70 // public: | |
| 71 // int Foo() { return 3; } | |
| 72 // void PrintBye() { LOG(INFO) << "bye."; } | |
| 73 // }; | |
| 74 // scoped_refptr<Ref> ref = new Ref(); | |
| 75 // base::Callback<void(void)> ref_cb = base::Bind(&Ref::Foo, ref); | |
| 76 // LOG(INFO) << ref_cb.Run(); // Prints out 3. | |
| 77 // | |
| 78 // By default the object must support RefCounted or you will get a compiler | |
| 79 // error. If you're passing between threads, be sure it's | |
| 80 // RefCountedThreadSafe! See "Advanced binding of member functions" below if | |
| 81 // you don't want to use reference counting. | |
| 82 // | |
| 83 // RUNNING A CALLBACK | |
| 84 // | |
| 85 // Callbacks can be run with their "Run" method, which has the same | |
| 86 // signature as the template argument to the callback. | |
| 87 // | |
| 88 // void DoSomething(const base::Callback<void(int, std::string)>& callback) { | |
| 89 // callback.Run(5, "hello"); | |
| 90 // } | |
| 91 // | |
| 92 // Callbacks can be run more than once (they don't get deleted or marked when | |
| 93 // run). However, this precludes using base::Passed (see below). | |
| 94 // | |
| 95 // void DoSomething(const base::Callback<double(double)>& callback) { | |
| 96 // double myresult = callback.Run(3.14159); | |
| 97 // myresult += callback.Run(2.71828); | |
| 98 // } | |
| 99 // | |
| 100 // PASSING UNBOUND INPUT PARAMETERS | |
| 101 // | |
| 102 // Unbound parameters are specified at the time a callback is Run(). They are | |
| 103 // specified in the Callback template type: | |
| 104 // | |
| 105 // void MyFunc(int i, const std::string& str) {} | |
| 106 // base::Callback<void(int, const std::string&)> cb = base::Bind(&MyFunc); | |
| 107 // cb.Run(23, "hello, world"); | |
| 108 // | |
| 109 // PASSING BOUND INPUT PARAMETERS | |
| 110 // | |
| 111 // Bound parameters are specified when you create thee callback as arguments | |
| 112 // to Bind(). They will be passed to the function and the Run()ner of the | |
| 113 // callback doesn't see those values or even know that the function it's | |
| 114 // calling. | |
| 115 // | |
| 116 // void MyFunc(int i, const std::string& str) {} | |
| 117 // base::Callback<void(void)> cb = base::Bind(&MyFunc, 23, "hello world"); | |
| 118 // cb.Run(); | |
| 119 // | |
| 120 // A callback with no unbound input parameters (base::Callback<void(void)>) | |
| 121 // is called a base::Closure. So we could have also written: | |
| 122 // | |
| 123 // base::Closure cb = base::Bind(&MyFunc, 23, "hello world"); | |
| 124 // | |
| 125 // When calling member functions, bound parameters just go after the object | |
| 126 // pointer. | |
| 127 // | |
| 128 // base::Closure cb = base::Bind(&MyClass::MyFunc, this, 23, "hello world"); | |
| 129 // | |
| 130 // PARTIAL BINDING OF PARAMETERS | |
| 131 // | |
| 132 // You can specify some parameters when you create the callback, and specify | |
| 133 // the rest when you execute the callback. | |
| 134 // | |
| 135 // void MyFunc(int i, const std::string& str) {} | |
| 136 // base::Callback<void(const std::string&)> cb = base::Bind(&MyFunc, 23); | |
| 137 // cb.Run("hello world"); | |
| 138 // | |
| 139 // When calling a function bound parameters are first, followed by unbound | |
| 140 // parameters. | |
| 141 // | |

| 144 // Quick reference for advanced binding | |
| 145 // ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | |
| 146 // | |
| 147 // BINDING A CLASS METHOD WITH WEAK POINTERS | |
| 148 // | |
| 149 // base::Bind(&MyClass::Foo, GetWeakPtr()); | |
| 150 // | |
| 151 // The callback will not be run if the object has already been destroyed. | |
| 152 // DANGER: weak pointers are not threadsafe, so don't use this | |
| 153 // when passing between threads! | |
| 154 // | |
| 155 // BINDING A CLASS METHOD WITH MANUAL LIFETIME MANAGEMENT | |
| 156 // | |
| 157 // base::Bind(&MyClass::Foo, base::Unretained(this)); | |
| 158 // | |
| 159 // This disables all lifetime management on the object. You're responsible | |
| 160 // for making sure the object is alive at the time of the call. You break it, | |
| 161 // you own it! | |
| 162 // | |
| 163 // BINDING A CLASS METHOD AND HAVING THE CALLBACK OWN THE CLASS | |
| 164 // | |
| 165 // MyClass* myclass = new MyClass; | |
| 166 // base::Bind(&MyClass::Foo, base::Owned(myclass)); | |
| 167 // | |
| 168 // The object will be deleted when the callback is destroyed, even if it's | |
| 169 // not run (like if you post a task during shutdown). Potentially useful for | |
| 170 // "fire and forget" cases. | |
| 171 // | |
| 172 // IGNORING RETURN VALUES | |
| 173 // | |
| 174 // Sometimes you want to call a function that returns a value in a callback | |
| 175 // that doesn't expect a return value. | |
| 176 // | |
| 177 // int DoSomething(int arg) { cout << arg << endl; } | |
| 178 // base::Callback<void<int>) cb = | |
| 179 // base::Bind(base::IgnoreResult(&DoSomething)); | |
| 180 // | |
| 181 // | |
| 182 // ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | |
| 183 // Quick reference for binding parameters to Bind() | |
| 184 // ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | |
| 185 // | |
| 186 // Bound parameters are specified as arguments to Bind() and are passed to the | |
| 187 // function. A callback with no parameters or no unbound parameters is called a | |
| 188 // Closure (base::Callback<void(void)> and base::Closure are the same thing). | |
| 189 // | |
| 190 // PASSING PARAMETERS OWNED BY THE CALLBACK | |
| 191 // | |
| 192 // void Foo(int* arg) { cout << *arg << endl; } | |
| 193 // int* pn = new int(1); | |
| 194 // base::Closure foo_callback = base::Bind(&foo, base::Owned(pn)); | |
| 195 // | |
| 196 // The parameter will be deleted when the callback is destroyed, even if it's | |
| 197 // not run (like if you post a task during shutdown). | |
| 198 // | |
| 199 // PASSING PARAMETERS AS A scoped_ptr | |
| 200 // | |
| 201 // void TakesOwnership(scoped_ptr<Foo> arg) {} | |
| 202 // scoped_ptr<Foo> f(new Foo); | |
| 203 // // f becomes null during the following call. | |
| 204 // base::Closure cb = base::Bind(&TakesOwnership, base::Passed(&f)); | |
| 205 // | |
| 206 // Ownership of the parameter will be with the callback until the it is run, | |
| 207 // when ownership is passed to the callback function. This means the callback | |
| 208 // can only be run once. If the callback is never run, it will delete the | |
| 209 // object when it's destroyed. | |
| 210 // | |
| 211 // PASSING PARAMETERS AS A scoped_refptr | |
| 212 // | |
| 213 // void TakesOneRef(scoped_refptr<Foo> arg) {} | |
| 214 // scoped_refptr<Foo> f(new Foo) | |
| 215 // base::Closure cb = base::Bind(&TakesOneRef, f); | |
| 216 // | |
| 217 // This should "just work." The closure will take a reference as long as it | |
| 218 // is alive, and another reference will be taken for the called function. | |
| 219 // | |
| 220 // PASSING PARAMETERS BY REFERENCE | |
| 221 // | |
| 222 // void foo(int arg) { cout << arg << endl } | |
| 223 // int n = 1; | |
| 224 // base::Closure has_ref = base::Bind(&foo, base::ConstRef(n)); | |
| 225 // n = 2; | |
| 226 // has_ref.Run(); // Prints "2" | |
| 227 // | |
| 228 // Normally parameters are copied in the closure. DANGER: ConstRef stores a | |
| 229 // const reference instead, referencing the original parameter. This means | |
| 230 // that you must ensure the object outlives the callback! | |
| 231 // | |
| 232 // | |
| 233 // ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | |
| 234 // Implementation notes | |
| 235 // ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | |
| 236 // | |
| 237 // WHERE IS THIS DESIGN FROM: | |
| 238 // | |
| 239 // The design Callback and Bind is heavily influenced by C++'s | |
| 240 // tr1::function/tr1::bind, and by the "Google Callback" system used inside | |
| 241 // Google. | |
| 242 // | |
| 243 // | |
| 244 // HOW THE IMPLEMENTATION WORKS: | |
| 245 // | |
| 246 // There are three main components to the system: | |
| 247 // 1) The Callback classes. | |
| 248 // 2) The Bind() functions. | |
| 249 // 3) The arguments wrappers (e.g., Unretained() and ConstRef()). | |
| 250 // | |
| 251 // The Callback classes represent a generic function pointer. Internally, | |
| 252 // it stores a refcounted piece of state that represents the target function | |
| 253 // and all its bound parameters. Each Callback specialization has a templated | |
| 254 // constructor that takes an BindState<>*. In the context of the constructor, | |
| 255 // the static type of this BindState<> pointer uniquely identifies the | |
| 256 // function it is representing, all its bound parameters, and a Run() method | |
| 257 // that is capable of invoking the target. | |
| 258 // | |
| 259 // Callback's constructor takes the BindState<>* that has the full static type | |
| 260 // and erases the target function type as well as the types of the bound | |
| 261 // parameters. It does this by storing a pointer to the specific Run() | |
| 262 // function, and upcasting the state of BindState<>* to a | |
| 263 // BindStateBase*. This is safe as long as this BindStateBase pointer | |
| 264 // is only used with the stored Run() pointer. | |
| 265 // | |
| 266 // To BindState<> objects are created inside the Bind() functions. | |
| 267 // These functions, along with a set of internal templates, are responsible for | |
| 268 // | |
| 269 // - Unwrapping the function signature into return type, and parameters | |
| 270 // - Determining the number of parameters that are bound | |
| 271 // - Creating the BindState storing the bound parameters | |
| 272 // - Performing compile-time asserts to avoid error-prone behavior | |
| 273 // - Returning an Callback<> with an arity matching the number of unbound | |
| 274 // parameters and that knows the correct refcounting semantics for the | |
| 275 // target object if we are binding a method. | |
| 276 // | |
| 277 // The Bind functions do the above using type-inference, and template | |
| 278 // specializations. | |
| 279 // | |
| 280 // By default Bind() will store copies of all bound parameters, and attempt | |
| 281 // to refcount a target object if the function being bound is a class method. | |
| 282 // These copies are created even if the function takes parameters as const | |
| 283 // references. (Binding to non-const references is forbidden, see bind.h.) | |
| 284 // | |
| 285 // To change this behavior, we introduce a set of argument wrappers | |
| 286 // (e.g., Unretained(), and ConstRef()). These are simple container templates | |
| 287 // that are passed by value, and wrap a pointer to argument. See the | |
| 288 // file-level comment in base/bind_helpers.h for more info. | |
| 289 // | |
| 290 // These types are passed to the Unwrap() functions, and the MaybeRefcount() | |
| 291 // functions respectively to modify the behavior of Bind(). The Unwrap() | |
| 292 // and MaybeRefcount() functions change behavior by doing partial | |
| 293 // specialization based on whether or not a parameter is a wrapper type. | |
| 294 // | |
| 295 // ConstRef() is similar to tr1::cref. Unretained() is specific to Chromium. | |
| 296 // | |
| 297 // | |
| 298 // WHY NOT TR1 FUNCTION/BIND? | |
| 299 // | |
| 300 // Direct use of tr1::function and tr1::bind was considered, but ultimately | |
| 301 // rejected because of the number of copy constructors invocations involved | |
| 302 // in the binding of arguments during construction, and the forwarding of | |
| 303 // arguments during invocation. These copies will no longer be an issue in | |
| 304 // C++0x because C++0x will support rvalue reference allowing for the compiler | |
| 305 // to avoid these copies. However, waiting for C++0x is not an option. | |
| 306 // | |
| 307 // Measured with valgrind on gcc version 4.4.3 (Ubuntu 4.4.3-4ubuntu5), the | |
| 308 // tr1::bind call itself will invoke a non-trivial copy constructor three times | |
| 309 // for each bound parameter. Also, each when passing a tr1::function, each | |
| 310 // bound argument will be copied again. | |
| 311 // | |
| 312 // In addition to the copies taken at binding and invocation, copying a | |
| 313 // tr1::function causes a copy to be made of all the bound parameters and | |
| 314 // state. | |
| 315 // | |
| 316 // Furthermore, in Chromium, it is desirable for the Callback to take a | |
| 317 // reference on a target object when representing a class method call. This | |
| 318 // is not supported by tr1. | |
| 319 // | |
| 320 // Lastly, tr1::function and tr1::bind has a more general and flexible API. | |
| 321 // This includes things like argument reordering by use of | |
| 322 // tr1::bind::placeholder, support for non-const reference parameters, and some | |
| 323 // limited amount of subtyping of the tr1::function object (e.g., | |
| 324 // tr1::function<int(int)> is convertible to tr1::function<void(int)>). | |
| 325 // | |
| 326 // These are not features that are required in Chromium. Some of them, such as | |
| 327 // allowing for reference parameters, and subtyping of functions, may actually | |
| 328 // become a source of errors. Removing support for these features actually | |
| 329 // allows for a simpler implementation, and a terser Currying API. | |
| 330 // | |
| 331 // | |
| 332 // WHY NOT GOOGLE CALLBACKS? | |
| 333 // | |
| 334 // The Google callback system also does not support refcounting. Furthermore, | |
| 335 // its implementation has a number of strange edge cases with respect to type | |
| 336 // conversion of its arguments. In particular, the argument's constness must | |
| 337 // at times match exactly the function signature, or the type-inference might | |
| 338 // break. Given the above, writing a custom solution was easier. | |
| 339 // | |
| 340 // | |
| 341 // MISSING FUNCTIONALITY | |
| 342 // - Invoking the return of Bind. Bind(&foo).Run() does not work; | |
| 343 // - Binding arrays to functions that take a non-const pointer. | |
| 344 // Example: | |
| 345 // void Foo(const char* ptr); | |
| 346 // void Bar(char* ptr); | |
| 347 // Bind(&Foo, "test"); | |
| 348 // Bind(&Bar, "test"); // This fails because ptr is not const. | |
| 349 | |
