For example, there is one IO thread for the entire browser // process, and various pieces of code find it useful to retrieve a // pointer to the IO thread's message loop. // // Invoke a task by thread ID: // // BrowserThread::PostTask(BrowserThread::IO, FROM_HERE, task); // // The return value is false if the task couldn't be posted because the target // thread doesn't exist. If this could lead to data loss, you need to check the // result and restructure the code to ensure it doesn't occur. // // This class automatically handles the lifetime of different threads. // It's always safe to call PostTask on any thread. If it's not yet created, // the task is deleted. There are no race conditions. If the thread that the // task is posted to is guaranteed to outlive the current thread, then no locks // are used.
