// The Run method is called to enter the message pump's run loop.
//
// Within the method, the message pump is responsible for processing native
// messages as well as for giving cycles to the delegate periodically. The
// message pump should take care to mix delegate callbacks with native
// message processing so neither type of event starves the other of cycles.
//
// The anatomy of a typical run loop:
//
// for (;;) {
// bool did_work = DoInternalWork();
// if (should_quit_)
// break;
//
// did_work |= delegate_->DoWork();
// if (should_quit_)
// break;
//
// did_work |= delegate_->DoDelayedWork();
// if (should_quit_)
// break;
//
// if (did_work)
// continue;
//
// did_work = delegate_->DoIdleWork();
// if (should_quit_)
// break;
//
// if (did_work)
// continue;
//
// WaitForWork();
// }
//
// Here, DoInternalWork is some private method of the message pump that is
// responsible for dispatching the next UI message or notifying the next IO
// completion (for example). WaitForWork is a private method that simply
// blocks until there is more work of any type to do.
//
// Notice that the run loop cycles between calling DoInternalWork, DoWork,
// and DoDelayedWork methods. This helps ensure that neither work queue
// starves the other. This is important for message pumps that are used to
// drive animations, for example.
//
// Notice also that after each callout to foreign code, the run loop checks
// to see if it should quit. The Quit method is responsible for setting this
// flag. No further work is done once the quit flag is set.
//
// NOTE: Care must be taken to handle Run being called again from within any
// of the callouts to foreign code. Native message pumps may also need to
// deal with other native message pumps being run outside their control
// (e.g., the MessageBox API on Windows pumps UI messages!). To be specific,
// the callouts (DoWork and DoDelayedWork) MUST still be provided even in
// nested sub-loops that are "seemingly" outside the control of this message
// pump. DoWork in particular must never be starved for time slices unless
// it returns false (meaning it has run out of things to do).
//
virtual void Run(Delegate* delegate) = 0;
// Quit immediately from the most recently entered run loop. This method may
// only be used on the thread that called Run.
virtual void Quit() = 0;
// Schedule a DoWork callback to happen reasonably soon. Does nothing if a
// DoWork callback is already scheduled. This method may be called from any
// thread. Once this call is made, DoWork should not be "starved" at least
// until it returns a value of false.
virtual void ScheduleWork() = 0;
// This method may only called from the thread that called Run.
//
// Ensure that DoWork will be called if a nested loop is entered.
// If a MessagePump can already guarantee that DoWork will be called
// "reasonably soon", this method can be a no-op to avoid expensive
// atomic tests and/or syscalls required for ScheduleWork().
