//==============================================================================
// DISCUSSION:
//
// The three main classes of interest are
//
//  MachMessage:    a wrapper for a Mach message of the following form
//   mach_msg_header_t
//   mach_msg_body_t
//   optional descriptors
//   optional extra message data
//
//  MachReceiveMessage and MachSendMessage subclass MachMessage
//    and are used instead of MachMessage which is an abstract base class
//
//  ReceivePort:
//    Represents a Mach port for which we have receive rights
//
//  MachPortSender:
//    Represents a Mach port for which we have send rights
//
// Here's an example to receive a message on a server port:
//
//        // This creates our named server port
//        ReceivePort receivePort("com.Google.MyService");
//
//        MachReceiveMessage message;
//        kern_return_t result = receivePort.WaitForMessage(&message, 0);
//
//        if (result == KERN_SUCCESS && message.GetMessageID() == 57) {
//          mach_port_t task = message.GetTranslatedPort(0);
//          mach_port_t thread = message.GetTranslatedPort(1);
//
//          char *messageString = message.GetData();
//
//          printf("message string = %s\n", messageString);
//        }
//
// Here is an example of using these classes to send a message to this port:
//
//    // send to already named port
//    MachPortSender sender("com.Google.MyService");
//    MachSendMessage message(57);      // our message ID is 57
//
//    // add some ports to be translated for us
//    message.AddDescriptor(mach_task_self());     // our task
//    message.AddDescriptor(mach_thread_self());   // this thread
//
//    char messageString[] = "Hello server!\n";
//    message.SetData(messageString, strlen(messageString)+1);
//    // timeout 1000ms
//    kern_return_t result = sender.SendMessage(message, 1000);
//

#define PRINT_MACH_RESULT(result_, message_) \
  printf(message_" %s (%d)\n", mach_error_string(result_), result_ );

//
//  This class can be initialized using external storage of an arbitrary size
//  or it can manage storage internally.

//  plus data must be less than 1024.  But as a benefit no memory allocation is
//  necessary.
//  2. For external storage, a buffer of at least EmptyMessageSize() must be
//  provided.

//  A MachMessage object is used by ReceivePort::WaitForMessage
//  and MachPortSender::SendMessage
