12 // The MessageRouter handles all incoming messages sent to it by routing them
13 // to the correct listener.  Routing is based on the Message's routing ID.
14 // Since routing IDs are typically assigned asynchronously by the browser
15 // process, the MessageRouter has the notion of pending IDs for listeners that
16 // have not yet been assigned a routing ID.
17 //
18 // When a message arrives, the routing ID is used to index the set of routes to
19 // find a listener.  If a listener is found, then the message is passed to it.
20 // Otherwise, the message is ignored if its routing ID is not equal to
21 // MSG_ROUTING_CONTROL.
22 //
23 // The MessageRouter supports the IPC::Sender interface for outgoing messages,
24 // but does not define a meaningful implementation of it.  The subclass of
25 // MessageRouter is intended to provide that if appropriate.
26 //
27 // The MessageRouter can be used as a concrete class provided its Send method
28 // is not called and it does not receive any control messages.
