// A class that provides a means to asynchronously wait for a Windows object to
// become signaled. It is an abstraction around RegisterWaitForSingleObject
// that provides a notification callback, OnObjectSignaled, that runs back on
// the origin thread (i.e., the thread that called StartWatching).
//
// This class acts like a smart pointer such that when it goes out-of-scope,
// UnregisterWaitEx is automatically called, and any in-flight notification is
// suppressed.
//
// Typical usage:
//
// class MyClass : public base::ObjectWatcher::Delegate {
// public:
// void DoStuffWhenSignaled(HANDLE object) {
// watcher_.StartWatching(object, this);
// }
// virtual void OnObjectSignaled(HANDLE object) {
// // OK, time to do stuff!
// }
// private:
// base::ObjectWatcher watcher_;
// };
//
// In the above example, MyClass wants to "do stuff" when object becomes
// signaled. ObjectWatcher makes this task easy. When MyClass goes out of
// scope, the watcher_ will be destroyed, and there is no need to worry about
// OnObjectSignaled being called on a deleted MyClass pointer. Easy!
//
