// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
//
// Overview:
// base::BindOnce() and base::BindRepeating() are helpers for creating
// base::OnceCallback and base::RepeatingCallback objects respectively.
//
// For a runnable object of n-arity, the base::Bind*() family allows partial
// application of the first m arguments. The remaining n - m arguments must be
// passed when invoking the callback with Run().
//
//   // The first argument is bound at callback creation; the remaining
//   // two must be passed when calling Run() on the callback object.
//   base::OnceCallback<long(int, long)> cb = base::BindOnce(
//       [](short x, int y, long z) { return x * y * z; }, 42);
//
// When binding to a method, the receiver object must also be specified at
// callback creation time. When Run() is invoked, the method will be invoked on
// the specified receiver object.
//
//   class C : public base::RefCounted<C> { void F(); };
//   auto instance = base::MakeRefCounted<C>();
//   auto cb = base::BindOnce(&C::F, instance);
//   std::move(cb).Run();  // Identical to instance->F()
//
// See //docs/callback.md for the full documentation.

//
// These overloads to provide better error messages will never be selected

// works; per [over.ics.rank/2.2]:
//
//   When comparing the basic forms of implicit conversion sequences (as defined
//   in [over.best.ics])
//   - a standard conversion sequence is a better conversion sequence than a
//     user-defined conversion sequence or an ellipsis conversion sequence, and
//   - a user-defined conversion sequence is a better conversion sequence than
//     an ellipsis conversion sequence.
//
// So these overloads will only be selected as a last resort iff template type
// deduction fails.

// Unretained(), UnsafeDangling() and UnsafeDanglingUntriaged() allow binding a
// non-refcounted class, and to disable refcounting on arguments that are
// refcounted. The main difference is whether or not the raw pointers will be
// checked for dangling references (e.g. a pointer that points to an already
// destroyed object) when the callback is run.
//
// It is _required_ to use one of Unretained(), UnsafeDangling() or
// UnsafeDanglingUntriaged() for raw pointer receivers now. For other arguments,
// it remains optional. If not specified, default behavior is Unretained().

// Unretained() pointers will be checked for dangling pointers when the
// callback is run, *if* the callback has not been cancelled.
//
// Example of Unretained() usage:
//
//   class Foo {
//    public:
//     void func() { cout << "Foo:f" << endl; }
//   };
//
//   // In some function somewhere.
//   Foo foo;
//   OnceClosure foo_callback =
//       BindOnce(&Foo::func, Unretained(&foo));
//   std::move(foo_callback).Run();  // Prints "Foo:f".
//
// Without the Unretained() wrapper on |&foo|, the above call would fail
// to compile because Foo does not support the AddRef() and Release() methods.
//
// Unretained() does not allow dangling pointers, e.g.:
//   class MyClass {
//    public:
//     OnError(int error);
//    private:
//     scoped_refptr<base::TaskRunner> runner_;
//     std::unique_ptr<AnotherClass> obj_;
//   };
//
//   void MyClass::OnError(int error) {
//     // the pointer (which is also the receiver here) to `AnotherClass`
//     // might dangle depending on when the task is invoked.
//     runner_->PostTask(FROM_HERE, base::BindOnce(&AnotherClass::OnError,
//         base::Unretained(obj_.get()), error));
//     // one of the way to solve this issue here would be:
//     // runner_->PostTask(FROM_HERE,
//     //                   base::BindOnce(&AnotherClass::OnError,
//     //                   base::Owned(std::move(obj_)), error));
//     delete this;
//   }
//
// the above example is a BAD USAGE of Unretained(), which might result in a
// use-after-free, as `AnotherClass::OnError` might be invoked with a dangling
// pointer as receiver.

// Passed() is for transferring movable-but-not-copyable types (eg. unique_ptr)
// through a RepeatingCallback. Logically, this signifies a destructive transfer
// of the state of the argument into the target function. Invoking
// RepeatingCallback::Run() twice on a callback that was created with a Passed()
// argument will CHECK() because the first invocation would have already
// transferred ownership to the target function.
//
// Note that Passed() is not necessary with BindOnce(), as std::move() does the
// same thing. Avoid Passed() in favor of std::move() with BindOnce().
//
// EXAMPLE OF Passed():
//
//   void TakesOwnership(std::unique_ptr<Foo> arg) { }
//   std::unique_ptr<Foo> CreateFoo() { return std::make_unique<Foo>();
//   }
//
//   auto f = std::make_unique<Foo>();
//
//   // |cb| is given ownership of Foo(). |f| is now NULL.
//   // You can use std::move(f) in place of &f, but it's more verbose.
//   RepeatingClosure cb = BindRepeating(&TakesOwnership, Passed(&f));
//
//   // Run was never called so |cb| still owns Foo() and deletes
//   // it on Reset().
//   cb.Reset();
//
//   // |cb| is given a new Foo created by CreateFoo().
//   cb = BindRepeating(&TakesOwnership, Passed(CreateFoo()));
//
//   // |arg| in TakesOwnership() is given ownership of Foo(). |cb|
//   // no longer owns Foo() and, if reset, would not delete Foo().
//   cb.Run();  // Foo() is now transferred to |arg| and deleted.
//   cb.Run();  // This CHECK()s since Foo() already been used once.
//
// We offer 2 syntaxes for calling Passed(). The first takes an rvalue and is
// best suited for use with the return value of a function or other temporary
// rvalues. The second takes a pointer to the scoper and is just syntactic sugar
// to avoid having to write Passed(std::move(scoper)).
//
// Both versions of Passed() prevent T from being an lvalue reference. The first
// via use of enable_if, and the second takes a T* which will not bind to T&.
