// Implements a task queue that asynchronously executes tasks in a way that
// guarantees that they're executed in FIFO order and that tasks never overlap.
// Tasks may always execute on the same worker thread and they may not.
// To DCHECK that tasks are executing on a known task queue, use IsCurrent().
//
// Here are some usage examples:
//
//   1) Asynchronously running a lambda:
//
//     class MyClass {
//       ...
//       TaskQueue queue_("MyQueue");
//     };
//
//     void MyClass::StartWork() {
//       queue_.PostTask([]() { Work(); });
//     ...
//
//   2) Doing work asynchronously on a worker queue and providing a notification
//      callback on the current queue, when the work has been done:
//
//     void MyClass::StartWorkAndLetMeKnowWhenDone(
//         std::unique_ptr<QueuedTask> callback) {
//       DCHECK(TaskQueue::Current()) << "Need to be running on a queue";
//       queue_.PostTaskAndReply([]() { Work(); }, std::move(callback));
//     }
//     ...
//     my_class->StartWorkAndLetMeKnowWhenDone(
//         NewClosure([]() { LOG(INFO) << "The work is done!";}));
//
//   3) Posting a custom task on a timer.  The task posts itself again after
//      every running:
//
//     class TimerTask : public QueuedTask {
//      public:
//       TimerTask() {}
//      private:
//       bool Run() override {
//         ++count_;
//         TaskQueue::Current()->PostDelayedTask(
//             std::unique_ptr<QueuedTask>(this), 1000);
//         // Ownership has been transferred to the next occurance,
//         // so return false to prevent from being deleted now.
//         return false;
//       }
//       int count_ = 0;
//     };
//     ...
//     queue_.PostDelayedTask(
//         std::unique_ptr<QueuedTask>(new TimerTask()), 1000);
//
// For more examples, see task_queue_unittests.cc.
//
// A note on destruction:
//
// When a TaskQueue is deleted, pending tasks will not be executed but they will
// be deleted.  The deletion of tasks may happen asynchronously after the
// TaskQueue itself has been deleted or it may happen synchronously while the
// TaskQueue instance is being deleted.  This may vary from one OS to the next
// so assumptions about lifetimes of pending tasks should not be made.
