37 // This is intended to be used with classes that appear to be thread safe, but
38 // aren't.  For example, a service or a singleton like the preferences system.

40 // Example:
41 // class MyClass : public base::NonThreadSafe {
42 //  public:
43 //   void Foo() {
44 //     DCHECK(CalledOnValidThread());

49 // Note that base::ThreadChecker offers identical functionality to
50 // NonThreadSafe, but does not require inheritance. In general, it is preferable
51 // to have a base::ThreadChecker as a member, rather than inherit from
52 // NonThreadSafe. For more details about when to choose one over the other, see
53 // the documentation for base::ThreadChecker.
