The fact that they are reference counted is an implementation // detail for allowing them to outlive cancellation of asynchronous // operations. // // Instead, think of the underlying |char*| buffer contained by the IOBuffer // as having exactly one owner at a time. // // Whenever you call an asynchronous operation that takes an IOBuffer, // ownership is implicitly transferred to the called function, until the // operation has completed (at which point it transfers back to the caller). // // ==> The IOBuffer's data should NOT be manipulated, destroyed, or read // until the operation has completed. // // ==> Cancellation does NOT count as completion. If an operation using // an IOBuffer is cancelled, the caller should release their // reference to this IOBuffer at the time of cancellation since // they can no longer use it. // // For instance, if you were to call a Read() operation on some class which // takes an IOBuffer, and then delete that class (which generally will // trigger cancellation), the IOBuffer which had been passed to Read() should // never be re-used. // // This usage contract is assumed by any API which takes an IOBuffer, even // though it may not be explicitly mentioned in the function's comments. // // ----------------------- // Motivation // ----------------------- // // The motivation for transferring ownership during cancellation is // to make it easier to work with un-cancellable operations. // // For instance, let's say under the hood your API called out to the // operating system's synchronous ReadFile() function on a worker thread. // When cancelling through our asynchronous interface, we have no way of // actually aborting the in progress ReadFile(). We must let it keep running, // and hence the buffer it was reading into must remain alive. Using // reference counting we can add a reference to the IOBuffer and make sure // it is not destroyed until after the synchronous operation has completed. class NET_EXPORT IOBuffer : public base::RefCountedThreadSafe { public: IOBuffer(); // TODO(eroman): Deprecated.
