// The RenderThreadBase is the minimal interface that a RenderView/Widget
// expects from a render thread. The interface basically abstracts a way to send
// and receive messages.
//
// TODO(brettw): This has two different and opposing usage patterns which
// make it confusing.
//
// In the first mode, callers call RenderThread::current() to get the one and
// only global RenderThread (bug 10837: this should be renamed get()). Then
// they access it. Since RenderThread is a concrete class, this can be NULL
// during unit tests. Callers need to NULL check this every time. Some callers
// don't happen to get called during unit tests and don't do the NULL checks,
// which is also confusing since it's not clear if you need to or not.
//
// In the second mode, the abstract base class RenderThreadBase is passed to
// RenderView and RenderWidget. Normally, this points to
// RenderThread::current() so it's quite confusing which accessing mode should
// be used. However, during unit testing, this class is replaced with a mock
// to support testing functions, and is guaranteed non-NULL.
//
// It might be nice not to have the ::current() call and put all of the
// functions on the abstract class so they can be mocked. However, there are
// some standalone functions like in ChromiumBridge that are not associated
// with a view that need to access the current thread to send messages to the
// browser process. These need the ::current() paradigm. So instead, we should
// probably remove the render_thread_ parameter to RenderView/Widget in
// preference to just getting the global singleton. We can make it easier to
// understand by moving everything to the abstract interface and saying that
// there should never be a NULL RenderThread::current(). Tests would be
// responsible for setting up the mock one.
