// This defines a set of argument wrappers and related factory methods that
// can be used specify the refcounting and reference semantics of arguments
// that are bound by the Bind() function in base/bind.h.
//
// It also defines a set of simple functions and utilities that people want
// when using Callback<> and Bind().
//
//
// ARGUMENT BINDING WRAPPERS
//
// The wrapper functions are base::Unretained(), base::Owned(), base::Passed(),
// base::ConstRef(), and base::IgnoreResult().
//
// Unretained() allows Bind() to bind a non-refcounted class, and to disable
// refcounting on arguments that are refcounted objects.
//
// Owned() transfers ownership of an object to the Callback resulting from
// bind; the object will be deleted when the Callback is deleted.
//
// Passed() is for transferring movable-but-not-copyable types (eg. scoped_ptr)
// through a Callback. Logically, this signifies a destructive transfer of
// the state of the argument into the target function.  Invoking
// Callback::Run() twice on a Callback that was created with a Passed()
// argument will CHECK() because the first invocation would have already
// transferred ownership to the target function.
//
// ConstRef() allows binding a constant reference to an argument rather
// than a copy.
//
// IgnoreResult() is used to adapt a function or Callback with a return type to
// one with a void return. This is most useful if you have a function with,
// say, a pesky ignorable bool return that you want to use with PostTask or
// something else that expect a Callback with a void return.
//
// EXAMPLE OF Unretained():
//
//   class Foo {
//    public:
//     void func() { cout << "Foo:f" << endl; }
//   };
//
//   // In some function somewhere.
//   Foo foo;
//   Closure foo_callback =
//       Bind(&Foo::func, Unretained(&foo));
//   foo_callback.Run();  // Prints "Foo:f".
//
// Without the Unretained() wrapper on |&foo|, the above call would fail
// to compile because Foo does not support the AddRef() and Release() methods.
//
//
// EXAMPLE OF Owned():
//
//   void foo(int* arg) { cout << *arg << endl }
//
//   int* pn = new int(1);
//   Closure foo_callback = Bind(&foo, Owned(pn));
//
//   foo_callback.Run();  // Prints "1"
//   foo_callback.Run();  // Prints "1"
//   *n = 2;
//   foo_callback.Run();  // Prints "2"
//
//   foo_callback.Reset();  // |pn| is deleted.  Also will happen when
//                          // |foo_callback| goes out of scope.
//
// Without Owned(), someone would have to know to delete |pn| when the last
// reference to the Callback is deleted.
//
//
// EXAMPLE OF ConstRef():
//
//   void foo(int arg) { cout << arg << endl }
//
//   int n = 1;
//   Closure no_ref = Bind(&foo, n);
//   Closure has_ref = Bind(&foo, ConstRef(n));
//
//   no_ref.Run();  // Prints "1"
//   has_ref.Run();  // Prints "1"
//
//   n = 2;
//   no_ref.Run();  // Prints "1"
//   has_ref.Run();  // Prints "2"
//
// Note that because ConstRef() takes a reference on |n|, |n| must outlive all
// its bound callbacks.
//
//
// EXAMPLE OF IgnoreResult():
//
//   int DoSomething(int arg) { cout << arg << endl; }
//
//   // Assign to a Callback with a void return type.
//   Callback<void(int)> cb = Bind(IgnoreResult(&DoSomething));
//   cb->Run(1);  // Prints "1".
//
//   // Prints "1" on |ml|.
//   ml->PostTask(FROM_HERE, Bind(IgnoreResult(&DoSomething), 1);
//
//
// EXAMPLE OF Passed():
//
//   void TakesOwnership(scoped_ptr<Foo> arg) { }
//   scoped_ptr<Foo> CreateFoo() { return scoped_ptr<Foo>(new Foo()); }
//
//   scoped_ptr<Foo> f(new Foo());
//
//   // |cb| is given ownership of Foo(). |f| is now NULL.
//   // You can use f.Pass() in place of &f, but it's more verbose.
//   Closure cb = Bind(&TakesOwnership, Passed(&f));
//
//   // Run was never called so |cb| still owns Foo() and deletes
//   // it on Reset().
//   cb.Reset();
//
//   // |cb| is given a new Foo created by CreateFoo().
//   cb = Bind(&TakesOwnership, Passed(CreateFoo()));
//
//   // |arg| in TakesOwnership() is given ownership of Foo(). |cb|
//   // no longer owns Foo() and, if reset, would not delete Foo().
//   cb.Run();  // Foo() is now transferred to |arg| and deleted.
//   cb.Run();  // This CHECK()s since Foo() already been used once.
//
// Passed() is particularly useful with PostTask() when you are transferring
// ownership of an argument into a task, but don't necessarily know if the
// task will always be executed. This can happen if the task is cancellable
// or if it is posted to a MessageLoopProxy.
//
//
// SIMPLE FUNCTIONS AND UTILITIES.
//
//   DoNothing() - Useful for creating a Closure that does nothing when called.
//   DeletePointer<T>() - Useful for creating a Closure that will delete a
//                        pointer when invoked. Only use this when necessary.
//                        In most cases MessageLoop::DeleteSoon() is a better
//                        fit.

// Use the Substitution Failure Is Not An Error (SFINAE) trick to inspect T

// http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1966362/sfinae-to-check-for-inherited-member-functions
//
// The last link in particular show the method used below.
//
// For SFINAE to work with inherited methods, we need to pull some extra tricks
// with multiple inheritance.  In the more standard formulation, the overloads
// of Check would be:
//
//   template <typename C>
//   Yes NotTheCheckWeWant(Helper<&C::TargetFunc>*);
//
//   template <typename C>
//   No NotTheCheckWeWant(...);
//
//   static const bool value = sizeof(NotTheCheckWeWant<T>(0)) == sizeof(Yes);
//
// The problem here is that template resolution will not match
// C::TargetFunc if TargetFunc does not exist directly in C.  That is, if
// TargetFunc in inherited from an ancestor, &C::TargetFunc will not match,
// |value| will be false.  This formulation only checks for whether or
// not TargetFunc exist directly in the class being introspected.
//
// To get around this, we play a dirty trick with multiple inheritance.
// First, We create a class BaseMixin that declares each function that we
// want to probe for.  Then we create a class Base that inherits from both T
// (the class we wish to probe) and BaseMixin.  Note that the function
// signature in BaseMixin does not need to match the signature of the function
// we are probing for; thus it's easiest to just use void(void).
//
// Now, if TargetFunc exists somewhere in T, then &Base::TargetFunc has an
// ambiguous resolution between BaseMixin and T.  This lets us write the
// following:
//
//   template <typename C>
//   No GoodCheck(Helper<&C::TargetFunc>*);
//
//   template <typename C>
//   Yes GoodCheck(...);
//
//   static const bool value = sizeof(GoodCheck<Base>(0)) == sizeof(Yes);
//
// Notice here that the variadic version of GoodCheck() returns Yes here
// instead of No like the previous one. Also notice that we calculate |value|
// by specializing GoodCheck() on Base instead of T.
//
// We've reversed the roles of the variadic, and Helper overloads.
// GoodCheck(Helper<&C::TargetFunc>*), when C = Base, fails to be a valid
// substitution if T::TargetFunc exists. Thus GoodCheck<Base>(0) will resolve
// to the variadic version if T has TargetFunc.  If T::TargetFunc does not
// exist, then &C::TargetFunc is not ambiguous, and the overload resolution
// will prefer GoodCheck(Helper<&C::TargetFunc>*).
//
// This method of SFINAE will correctly probe for inherited names, but it cannot
// typecheck those names.  It's still a good enough sanity check though.
//
// Works on gcc-4.2, gcc-4.4, and Visual Studio 2008.
//
// TODO(ajwong): Move to ref_counted.h or type_traits.h when we've vetted
// this works well.
//
// TODO(ajwong): Make this check for Release() as well.

// This conundrum cannot be solved without either C++11 rvalue references or
