// A helper to ensure that data access and function usage only take place on a
// specific nsIEventTarget.
//
// This class works with Clang's thread safety analysis so that static analysis
// can ensure AssertOnCurrentThread is called before using guarded data and
// functions.
//
// This means using the class is similar to calling
// `MOZ_ASSERT(mTarget->IsOnCurrentThread())`
// prior to accessing things we expect to be on `mTarget`. However, using this
// helper has the added benefit that static analysis will warn you if you
// fail to assert prior to usage.
//
// The following is a basic example of a class using this to ensure
// a data member is only accessed on a specific target.
//
// class SomeMediaHandlerThing {
// public:
// SomeMediaHandlerThing(nsIEventTarget* aTarget) : mTargetCapability(aTarget)
// {}
//
// void UpdateMediaState() {
// mTargetCapability.Dispatch(
// NS_NewRunnableFunction("UpdateMediaState", [this] {
// mTargetCapability.AssertOnCurrentThread();
// IncreaseMediaCount();
// }));
// }
//
// private:
// void IncreaseMediaCount() MOZ_REQUIRES(mTargetCapability) { mMediaCount +=
// 1; }
//
// uint32_t mMediaCount MOZ_GUARDED_BY(mTargetCapability) = 0;
// EventTargetCapability<nsIEventTarget> mTargetCapability;
// };
//
// NOTE: If you need a thread-safety capability for specifically the main
// thread, the static `mozilla::sMainThreadCapability` capability exists, and
// can be asserted using `AssertIsOnMainThread()`.
