// ThreadChecker is a helper class used to help verify that some methods of a
// class are called from the same thread. It provides identical functionality to
// base::NonThreadSafe, but it is meant to be held as a member variable, rather
// than inherited from base::NonThreadSafe.
//
// While inheriting from base::NonThreadSafe may give a clear indication about
// the thread-safety of a class, it may also lead to violations of the style
// guide with regard to multiple inheritance. The choice between having a
// ThreadChecker member and inheriting from base::NonThreadSafe should be based
// on whether:
// - Derived classes need to know the thread they belong to, as opposed to
// having that functionality fully encapsulated in the base class.
// - Derived classes should be able to reassign the base class to another
// thread, via DetachFromThread.
//
// If neither of these are true, then having a ThreadChecker member and calling
// CalledOnValidThread is the preferable solution.
//
// Example:
// class MyClass {
// public:
// void Foo() {
// DCHECK(thread_checker_.CalledOnValidThread());
// ... (do stuff) ...
// }
//
// private:
// ThreadChecker thread_checker_;
// }
//
// Note that, when enabled, CalledOnValidThread() returns false when called from
// tasks posted to SingleThreadTaskRunners bound to different sequences, even if
// the tasks happen to run on the same thread (e.g. two independent TaskRunners
// with ExecutionMode::SINGLE_THREADED on the TaskScheduler that happen to share
// a thread).
//
// In Release mode, CalledOnValidThread will always return true.
