20 // A byte stream is a pipe to transfer bytes between a source and a
21 // sink, which may be on different threads.  It is intended to be the
22 // only connection between source and sink; they need have no
23 // direct awareness of each other aside from the byte stream.  The source and
24 // the sink have different interfaces to a byte stream, |ByteStreamWriter|
25 // and |ByteStreamReader|.  A pair of connected interfaces is generated by
26 // calling |CreateByteStream|.
27 //
28 // The source adds bytes to the bytestream via |ByteStreamWriter::Write|
29 // and the sink retrieves bytes already written via |ByteStreamReader::Read|.
30 //
31 // When the source has no more data to add, it will call
32 // |ByteStreamWriter::Close| to indicate that.  Operation status at the source
33 // is indicated to the sink via an int passed to the Close() method and returned
34 // from the GetStatus() method. Source and sink must agree on the interpretation
35 // of this int.
36 //
37 // Normally the source is not managed after the relationship is setup;
38 // it is expected to provide data and then close itself.  If an error
39 // occurs on the sink, it is not signalled to the source via this
40 // mechanism; instead, the source will write data until it exausts the
41 // available space.  If the source needs to be aware of errors occuring
42 // on the sink, this must be signalled in some other fashion (usually
43 // through whatever controller setup the relationship).
44 //
45 // Callback lifetime management: No lifetime management is done in this
46 // class to prevent registered callbacks from being called after any
47 // objects to which they may refer have been destroyed.  It is the
48 // responsibility of the callers to avoid use-after-free references.
49 // This may be done by any of several mechanisms, including weak
50 // pointers, scoped_refptr references, or calling the registration
51 // function with a null callback from a destructor.  To enable the null
52 // callback strategy, callbacks will not be stored between retrieval and
53 // evaluation, so setting a null callback will guarantee that the
54 // previous callback will not be executed after setting.
55 //
56 // Class methods are virtual to allow mocking for tests; these classes
57 // aren't intended to be base classes for other classes.
58 //
