// Valid priorities supported by the task scheduler. Note: internal algorithms
// depend on priorities being expressed as a continuous zero-based list from
// lowest to highest priority. Users of this API shouldn't otherwise care about
// nor use the underlying values.

  // This will always be equal to the lowest priority available.
  LOWEST = 0,

  BACKGROUND = LOWEST,
  // This task affects UI or responsiveness of future user interactions. It is
  // not an immediate response to a user interaction.
  // Examples:
  // - Updating the UI to reflect progress on a long task.
  // - Loading data that might be shown in the UI after a future user
  //   interaction.
  USER_VISIBLE,
  // This task affects UI immediately after a user interaction.
  // Example: Generating data shown in the UI immediately after a click.

// Valid shutdown behaviors supported by the task scheduler.
enum class TaskShutdownBehavior {
  // Tasks posted with this mode which have not started executing before
  // shutdown is initiated will never run. Tasks with this mode running at
  // shutdown will be ignored (the worker will not be joined).
  //
  // This option provides a nice way to post stuff you don't want blocking
  // shutdown. For example, you might be doing a slow DNS lookup and if it's
  // blocked on the OS, you may not want to stop shutdown, since the result
  // doesn't really matter at that point.
  //
  // However, you need to be very careful what you do in your callback when you
  // use this option. Since the thread will continue to run until the OS
  // terminates the process, the app can be in the process of tearing down when
  // you're running. This means any singletons or global objects you use may
  // suddenly become invalid out from under you. For this reason, it's best to
  // use this only for slow but simple operations like the DNS example.
  CONTINUE_ON_SHUTDOWN,

  // Tasks posted with this mode that have not started executing at
  // shutdown will never run. However, any task that has already begun
  // executing when shutdown is invoked will be allowed to continue and
  // will block shutdown until completion.
  //
  // Note: Because TaskScheduler::Shutdown() may block while these tasks are
  // executing, care must be taken to ensure that they do not block on the
  // thread that called TaskScheduler::Shutdown(), as this may lead to deadlock.
  SKIP_ON_SHUTDOWN,

  // Tasks posted with this mode before shutdown is complete will block shutdown
  // until they're executed. Generally, this should be used only to save
  // critical user data.
  //
  // Note: Tasks with BACKGROUND priority that block shutdown will be promoted
  // to USER_VISIBLE priority during shutdown.
  BLOCK_SHUTDOWN,
};

// Tasks with this trait may block. This includes but is not limited to tasks
// that wait on synchronous file I/O operations: read or write a file from disk,
// interact with a pipe or a socket, rename or delete a file, enumerate files in
// a directory, etc. This trait isn't required for the mere use of locks. For
// tasks that block on base/ synchronization primitives, see the
// WithBaseSyncPrimitives trait.
struct MayBlock {};

// DEPRECATED. Use base::ScopedAllowBaseSyncPrimitives(ForTesting) instead.
//
// Tasks with this trait will pass base::AssertBaseSyncPrimitivesAllowed(), i.e.
// will be allowed on the following methods :
// - base::WaitableEvent::Wait
// - base::ConditionVariable::Wait
// - base::PlatformThread::Join
// - base::PlatformThread::Sleep
// - base::Process::WaitForExit
// - base::Process::WaitForExitWithTimeout
//
// Tasks should generally not use these methods.
//
// Instead of waiting on a WaitableEvent or a ConditionVariable, put the work
// that should happen after the wait in a callback and post that callback from
// where the WaitableEvent or ConditionVariable would have been signaled. If
// something needs to be scheduled after many tasks have executed, use
// base::BarrierClosure.
//
// On Windows, join processes asynchronously using base::win::ObjectWatcher.
//
// MayBlock() must be specified in conjunction with this trait if and only if
// removing usage of methods listed above in the labeled tasks would still
// result in tasks that may block (per MayBlock()'s definition).
//
// In doubt, consult with //base/task_scheduler/OWNERS.
