9 // builds with DCHECK_ALWAYS_ON so that trybots and waterfall bots
10 // with this define will get the same level of thread checking as
11 // debug bots.
12 //
13 // Note that this does not perfectly match situations where DCHECK is
14 // enabled.  For example a non-official release build may have
15 // DCHECK_ALWAYS_ON undefined (and therefore ThreadChecker would be
16 // disabled) but have DCHECKs enabled at runtime.

40 // ThreadChecker is a helper class used to help verify that some methods of a
41 // class are called from the same thread. It provides identical functionality to
42 // base::NonThreadSafe, but it is meant to be held as a member variable, rather
43 // than inherited from base::NonThreadSafe.
44 //
45 // While inheriting from base::NonThreadSafe may give a clear indication about
46 // the thread-safety of a class, it may also lead to violations of the style
47 // guide with regard to multiple inheritance. The choice between having a
48 // ThreadChecker member and inheriting from base::NonThreadSafe should be based
49 // on whether:
50 //  - Derived classes need to know the thread they belong to, as opposed to
51 //    having that functionality fully encapsulated in the base class.
52 //  - Derived classes should be able to reassign the base class to another
53 //    thread, via DetachFromThread.
54 //
55 // If neither of these are true, then having a ThreadChecker member and calling
56 // CalledOnValidThread is the preferable solution.
57 //
58 // Example:
59 // class MyClass {
60 //  public:
61 //   void Foo() {
62 //     DCHECK(thread_checker_.CalledOnValidThread());
63 //     ... (do stuff) ...
64 //   }
65 //
66 //  private:
67 //   ThreadChecker thread_checker_;
68 // }
69 //
70 // In Release mode, CalledOnValidThread will always return true.
