///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//
// OVERVIEW:
//
//   A list of observers. Unlike a standard vector or list, this container can
//   be modified during iteration without invalidating the iterator. So, it
//   safely handles the case of an observer removing itself or other observers
//   from the list while observers are being notified.
//
//
// WARNING:
//
//   ObserverList is not thread-compatible. Iterating on the same ObserverList
//   simultaneously in different threads is not safe, even when the ObserverList
//   itself is not modified.
//
//   For a thread-safe observer list, see ObserverListThreadSafe.
//
//
// TYPICAL USAGE:
//
//   class MyWidget {
//    public:
//     ...
//
//     class Observer : public base::CheckedObserver {
//      public:
//       virtual void OnFoo(MyWidget* w) = 0;
//       virtual void OnBar(MyWidget* w, int x, int y) = 0;
//     };
//
//     void AddObserver(Observer* obs) {
//       observers_.AddObserver(obs);
//     }
//
//     void RemoveObserver(Observer* obs) {
//       observers_.RemoveObserver(obs);
//     }
//
//     void NotifyFoo() {
//       observers_.Notify(&Observer::OnFoo, this);
//     }
//
//     void NotifyBar(int x, int y) {
//       // Use manual iteration when Notify() is not suitable, e.g.
//       // if passing different args to different observers is needed.
//       for (Observer& obs : observers_) {
//         gfx::Point local_point = GetLocalPoint(obs, x, y);
//         obs.OnBar(this, local_point.x(), local_point.y());
//       }
//     }
