// OneShotTimer and RepeatingTimer provide a simple timer API.  As the names
// suggest, OneShotTimer calls you back once after a time delay expires.
// RepeatingTimer on the other hand calls you back periodically with the
// prescribed time interval.
//
// OneShotTimer and RepeatingTimer both cancel the timer when they go out of
// scope, which makes it easy to ensure that you do not get called when your
// object has gone out of scope.  Just instantiate a OneShotTimer or
// RepeatingTimer as a member variable of the class for which you wish to
// receive timer events.
//
// Sample RepeatingTimer usage:
//
//   class MyClass {
//    public:
//     void StartDoingStuff() {
//       timer_.Start(FROM_HERE, TimeDelta::FromSeconds(1),
//                    this, &MyClass::DoStuff);
//     }
//     void StopDoingStuff() {
//       timer_.Stop();
//     }
//    private:
//     void DoStuff() {
//       // This method is called every second to do stuff.
//       ...
//     }
//     base::RepeatingTimer timer_;
//   };
//
// Both OneShotTimer and RepeatingTimer also support a Reset method, which
// allows you to easily defer the timer event until the timer delay passes once
// again.  So, in the above example, if 0.5 seconds have already passed,
// calling Reset on |timer_| would postpone DoStuff by another 1 second.  In
// other words, Reset is shorthand for calling Stop and then Start again with
// the same arguments.
//
// These APIs are not thread safe. All methods must be called from the same
// sequence (not necessarily the construction sequence), except for the
// destructor and SetTaskRunner().
// - The destructor may be called from any sequence when the timer is not
// running and there is no scheduled task active, i.e. when Start() has never
// been called or after AbandonAndStop() has been called.
// - SetTaskRunner() may be called from any sequence when the timer is not
// running, i.e. when Start() has never been called or Stop() has been called
// since the last Start().
//
// By default, the scheduled tasks will be run on the same sequence that the
// Timer was *started on*, but this can be changed *prior* to Start() via
// SetTaskRunner().

// IMPORTANT: If you change timer code, make sure that all tests (including
// disabled ones) from timer_unittests.cc pass locally. Some are disabled
// because they're flaky on the buildbot, but when you run them locally you
// should be able to tell the difference.
