+// A SequencedTaskRunner is a subclass of TaskRunner that provides
+// additional guarantees on the order that tasks are started, as well
+// as guarantees on when tasks are in sequence, i.e. one task finishes
+// before the other one starts.
+//
+// Summary
+// -------
+// Non-nested tasks with the same delay will run one by one in FIFO
+// order.
+//
+// Detailed guarantees
+// -------------------
+//
+// SequencedTaskRunner also adds additional methods for posting
+// non-nestable tasks. In general, an implementation of TaskRunner
+// may expose task-running methods which are themselves callable from
+// within tasks. A non-nestable task is one that is guaranteed to not
+// be run from within an already-running task. Conversely, a nestable
+// task (the default) is a task that can be run from within an
+// already-running task.
+//
+// The guarantees of SequencedTaskRunner are as follows:
+//
+// - Given two tasks T2 and T1, T2 will start after T1 starts if:
+//
+// * T2 is posted after T1; and
+// * T2 has equal or higher delay than T1; and
+// * T2 is non-nestable or T1 is nestable.
+//
+// - If T2 will start after T1 starts by the above guarantee, then
+// T2 will start after T1 finishes and is destroyed if:
+//
+// * T2 is non-nestable, or
+// * T1 doesn't call any task-running methods.
+//
+// - If T2 will start after T1 finishes by the above guarantee, then
+// all memory changes in T1 and T1's destruction will be visible
+// to T2.
+//
+// - If T2 runs nested within T1 via a call to the task-running
+// method M, then all memory changes in T1 up to the call to M
+// will be visible to T2, and all memory changes in T2 will be
+// visible to T1 from the return from M.
+//
+// Note that SequencedTaskRunner does not guarantee that tasks are run
+// on a single dedicated thread, although the above guarantees provide
+// most (but not all) of the same guarantees. If you do need to
+// guarantee that tasks are run on a single dedicated thread, see
+// SingleThreadTaskRunner (in single_thread_task_runner.h).
+//
+// Some corollaries to the above guarantees, assuming the tasks in
+// question don't call any task-running methods:
+//
+// - Tasks posted via PostTask are run in FIFO order.
+//
+// - Tasks posted via PostNonNestableTask are run in FIFO order.
+//
+// - Tasks posted with the same delay and the same nestable state
+// are run in FIFO order.
+//
+// - A list of tasks with the same nestable state posted in order of
+// non-decreasing delay is run in FIFO order.
+//
+// - A list of tasks posted in order of non-decreasing delay with at
+// most a single change in nestable state from nestable to
+// non-nestable is run in FIFO order. (This is equivalent to the
+// statement of the first guarantee above.)
+//
+// Some theoretical implementations of SequencedTaskRunner:
+//
+// - A SequencedTaskRunner that wraps a regular TaskRunner but makes
+// sure that only one task at a time is posted to the TaskRunner,
+// with appropriate memory barriers in between tasks.
+//
+// - A SequencedTaskRunner that, for each task, spawns a joinable
+// thread to run that task and immediately quit, and then
+// immediately joins that thread.
+//
+// - A SequencedTaskRunner that stores the list of posted tasks and
+// has a method Run() that runs each runnable task in FIFO order
+// that can be called from any thread, but only if another
+// (non-nested) Run() call isn't already happening.
+class BASE_EXPORT SequencedTaskRunner : public TaskRunner {
+ public:
+ // The two PostNonNestable*Task methods below are like their
+ // nestable equivalents in TaskRunner, but they guarantee that the
+ // posted task will not run nested within an already-running task.
+ //
+ // A simple corollary is that posting a task as non-nestable can
+ // only delay when the task gets run. That is, posting a task as
+ // non-nestable may not affect when the task gets run, or it could
+ // make it run later than it normally would, but it won't make it
