15 // A simple mechanism for running one Task in the future, but also allow for
16 // canceling the Task before it runs and/or re-scheduling a replacement Task to
17 // run at a different time. This mechanism is also scoped to its lifetime: if an
18 // Alarm is destroyed while it is scheduled, the Task is automatically canceled.
19 // It is safe for the client's Task to make re-entrant calls into all Alarm
20 // methods.
21 //
22 // Example use case: When using a TaskRunner, an object can safely schedule a
23 // callback into one of its instance methods (without the possibility of the
24 // Task executing after the object is destroyed).
25 //
26 // Design: In order to support efficient, arbitrary canceling and re-scheduling
27 // by the client, the Alarm posts a cancelable functor to the TaskRunner which,
28 // when invoked, then checks to see whether the Alarm instance still exists and,
29 // if so, calls its TryInvoke() method. The TryInvoke() method then determines:
30 // a) whether the invocation time of the client's Task has changed; and b)
31 // whether the Alarm was canceled in the meantime. From this, it either: a) does
32 // nothing; b) re-posts a new cancelable functor to the TaskRunner, to try
33 // running the client's Task later; or c) runs the client's Task.
