It provides you with the option of either // handling IPC messages on that background thread or having them dispatched to // your main thread (the thread on which the IPC::ChannelProxy is created). // // The API for an IPC::ChannelProxy is very similar to that of an IPC::Channel. // When you send a message to an IPC::ChannelProxy, the message is routed to // the background thread, where it is then passed to the IPC::Channel's Send // method. This means that you can send a message from your thread and your // message will be sent over the IPC channel when possible instead of being // delayed until your thread returns to its message loop. (Often IPC messages // will queue up on the IPC::Channel when there is a lot of traffic, and the // channel will not get cycles to flush its message queue until the thread, on // which it is running, returns to its message loop.) // // An IPC::ChannelProxy can have a MessageFilter associated with it, which will // be notified of incoming messages on the IPC::Channel's thread. This gives // the consumer of IPC::ChannelProxy the ability to respond to incoming // messages on this background thread instead of on their own thread, which may // be bogged down with other processing. The result can be greatly improved // latency for messages that can be handled on a background thread. // // The consumer of IPC::ChannelProxy is responsible for allocating the Thread // instance where the IPC::Channel will be created and operated. // class IPC_EXPORT ChannelProxy : public Sender, public base::NonThreadSafe { public: // Initializes a channel proxy.
