// A SequencedTaskRunner is a subclass of TaskRunner that provides
// additional guarantees on the order that tasks are started, as well
// as guarantees on when tasks are in sequence, i.e. one task finishes
// before the other one starts.
//
// Summary
// -------
// Non-nested tasks with the same delay will run one by one in FIFO
// order.
//
// Detailed guarantees
// -------------------
//
// SequencedTaskRunner also adds additional methods for posting
// non-nestable tasks. In general, an implementation of TaskRunner
// may expose task-running methods which are themselves callable from
// within tasks. A non-nestable task is one that is guaranteed to not
// be run from within an already-running task. Conversely, a nestable
// task (the default) is a task that can be run from within an
// already-running task.
//
// The guarantees of SequencedTaskRunner are as follows:
//
// - Given two tasks T2 and T1, T2 will start after T1 starts if:
//
// * T2 is posted after T1; and
// * T2 has equal or higher delay than T1; and
// * T2 is non-nestable or T1 is nestable.
//
// - If T2 will start after T1 starts by the above guarantee, then
// T2 will start after T1 finishes and is destroyed if:
//
// * T2 is non-nestable, or
// * T1 doesn't call any task-running methods.
//
// - If T2 will start after T1 finishes by the above guarantee, then
// all memory changes in T1 and T1's destruction will be visible
// to T2.
//
// - If T2 runs nested within T1 via a call to the task-running
// method M, then all memory changes in T1 up to the call to M
// will be visible to T2, and all memory changes in T2 will be
// visible to T1 from the return from M.
//
// Note that SequencedTaskRunner does not guarantee that tasks are run
// on a single dedicated thread, although the above guarantees provide
// most (but not all) of the same guarantees. If you do need to
// guarantee that tasks are run on a single dedicated thread, see
// SingleThreadTaskRunner (in single_thread_task_runner.h).
//
// Some corollaries to the above guarantees, assuming the tasks in
// question don't call any task-running methods:
//
// - Tasks posted via PostTask are run in FIFO order.
//
// - Tasks posted via PostNonNestableTask are run in FIFO order.
//
// - Tasks posted with the same delay and the same nestable state
// are run in FIFO order.
//
// - A list of tasks with the same nestable state posted in order of
// non-decreasing delay is run in FIFO order.
//
// - A list of tasks posted in order of non-decreasing delay with at
// most a single change in nestable state from nestable to
// non-nestable is run in FIFO order. (This is equivalent to the
// statement of the first guarantee above.)
//
// Some theoretical implementations of SequencedTaskRunner:
//
// - A SequencedTaskRunner that wraps a regular TaskRunner but makes
// sure that only one task at a time is posted to the TaskRunner,
// with appropriate memory barriers in between tasks.
//
// - A SequencedTaskRunner that, for each task, spawns a joinable
// thread to run that task and immediately quit, and then
// immediately joins that thread.
//
// - A SequencedTaskRunner that stores the list of posted tasks and
// has a method Run() that runs each runnable task in FIFO order
// that can be called from any thread, but only if another
// (non-nested) Run() call isn't already happening.

public:
// The two PostNonNestable*Task methods below are like their

//
// A simple corollary is that posting a task as non-nestable can
// only delay when the task gets run. That is, posting a task as
// non-nestable may not affect when the task gets run, or it could
// make it run later than it normally would, but it won't make it
// run earlier than it normally would.
