// Apart from debug builds, we also enable the thread checker in
// builds with DCHECK_ALWAYS_ON so that trybots and waterfall bots
// with this define will get the same level of thread checking as
// debug bots.
//
// Note that this does not perfectly match situations where DCHECK is
// enabled.  For example a non-official release build may have
// DCHECK_ALWAYS_ON undefined (and therefore ThreadChecker would be
// disabled) but have DCHECKs enabled at runtime.

// Before using this class, please consider using NonThreadSafe as it
// makes it much easier to determine the nature of your class.
//
// ThreadChecker is a helper class used to help verify that some methods of a
// class are called from the same thread.  One can inherit from this class and
// use CalledOnValidThread() to verify.
//
// Inheriting from class indicates that one must be careful when using the
// class with multiple threads. However, it is up to the class document to
// indicate how it can be used with threads.
//
// Example:
// class MyClass : public ThreadChecker {
//  public:
//   void Foo() {
//     DCHECK(CalledOnValidThread());
//     ... (do stuff) ...
//   }
// }
//
// In Release mode, CalledOnValidThread will always return true.
