26 // ThreadChecker is a helper class used to help verify that some methods of a
27 // class are called from the same thread. It provides identical functionality to
28 // base::NonThreadSafe, but it is meant to be held as a member variable, rather
29 // than inherited from base::NonThreadSafe.
30 //
31 // While inheriting from base::NonThreadSafe may give a clear indication about
32 // the thread-safety of a class, it may also lead to violations of the style
33 // guide with regard to multiple inheritance. The choice between having a
34 // ThreadChecker member and inheriting from base::NonThreadSafe should be based
35 // on whether:
36 //  - Derived classes need to know the thread they belong to, as opposed to
37 //    having that functionality fully encapsulated in the base class.
38 //  - Derived classes should be able to reassign the base class to another
39 //    thread, via DetachFromThread.
40 //
41 // If neither of these are true, then having a ThreadChecker member and calling
42 // CalledOnValidThread is the preferable solution.
43 //
44 // Example:
45 // class MyClass {
46 //  public:
47 //   void Foo() {
48 //     DCHECK(thread_checker_.CalledOnValidThread());
49 //     ... (do stuff) ...
50 //   }
51 //
52 //  private:
53 //   ThreadChecker thread_checker_;
54 // }
55 //
56 // Note that, when enabled, CalledOnValidThread() returns false when called from
57 // tasks posted to SingleThreadTaskRunners bound to different sequences, even if
58 // the tasks happen to run on the same thread (e.g. two independent TaskRunners
59 // with ExecutionMode::SINGLE_THREADED on the TaskScheduler that happen to share
60 // a thread).
61 //
62 // In Release mode, CalledOnValidThread will always return true.
