namespace WTF {
// SharedTask is a replacement for std::function for cases where:
//
// - You'd like to avoid the cost of copying, and would prefer to have reference semantics rather
// than value semantics.
// - You want to use FastMalloc rather than system malloc. Note that std::function may avoid malloc
// entirely in some cases, but that's hard to guarantee.
// - You intend to share the task with other threads and so want thread-safe reference counting.
//
// Here's an example of how SharedTask can be better than std::function. If you do:
//
// std::function<int(double)> a = b;
//
// Then "a" will get its own copy of all captured by-value variables. The act of copying may
// require calls to system malloc, and it may be linear time in the total size of captured
// variables. On the other hand, if you do:
//
// RefPtr<SharedTask<int(double)> a = b;
//
// Then "a" will point to the same task as b, and the only work involved is the CAS to increase the
// reference count.
//
// Also, SharedTask allows for more flexibility when sharing state between everyone who runs the
// task. With std::function, you can only share state using by-reference captured variables.
// SharedTask supports this since, like std::function, it can be built from a lambda (see
// createSharedTask(), below). But SharedTask also allows you to create your own subclass and put
// state in member fields. This can be more natural if you want fine-grained control over what
// state is shared between instances of the task.
template<typename FunctionType> class SharedTask;
template<typename ResultType, typename... ArgumentTypes>
class SharedTask<ResultType (ArgumentTypes...)> : public ThreadSafeRefCounted<SharedTask<ResultType (ArgumentTypes...)>> {
public:
SharedTask() { }
virtual ~SharedTask() { }
virtual ResultType run(ArgumentTypes...) = 0;
};
// This is a utility class that allows you to create a SharedTask subclass using a lambda. Usually,
// you don't want to use this class directly. Use createSharedTask() instead.
template<typename FunctionType, typename Functor> class SharedTaskFunctor;
template<typename ResultType, typename... ArgumentTypes, typename Functor>

};
// Create a SharedTask from a functor, such as a lambda. You can use this like so:
//
// RefPtr<SharedTask<void()>> task = createSharedTask<void()>(
// [=] () {
// do things;
// });
//
// Note that if you use the [&] capture list, then you're probably doing it wrong. That's because
// [&] will lead to pointers to the stack (the only exception is if you do something like &x where
// x is a reference to the heap - but in that case, it's better to use [=, &x] to be explicit). You
// probably don't want pointers to the stack if you will have tasks running on other threads.
// Probably the best way to be sure that you're not making a horrible mistake is to always use
// explicit capture lists. In many cases, [this] is sufficient.
//
// On the other hand, if you use something like ParallelHelperClient::runTaskInParallel() (or its
// helper, runFunctionInParallel(), which does createSharedTask() for you), then it can be OK to
// use [&], since the stack frame will remain live for the entire duration of the task's lifetime.
