// The structure of these classes (Action, ActionPipe, ActionProcessor, etc.)
// is based on the KSAction* classes from the Google Update Engine code at
// http://code.google.com/p/update-engine/ . The author of this file sends
// a big thanks to that team for their high quality design, implementation,
// and documentation.
//
// Readers may want to consult this wiki page from the Update Engine site:
// http://code.google.com/p/update-engine/wiki/ActionProcessor
// Although it's referring to the Objective-C KSAction* classes, much
// applies here as well.
//
// How it works:
//
// First off, there is only one thread and all I/O should be asynchronous.
// A glib main loop blocks whenever there is no work to be done. This happens
// where there is no CPU work to be done and no I/O ready to transfer in or
// out. Two kinds of events can wake up the main loop: timer alarm or file
// descriptors. If either of these happens, glib finds out the owner of what
// fired and calls the appropriate code to handle it. As such, all the code
// in the Action* classes and the code that is calls is non-blocking.
//
// An ActionProcessor contains a queue of Actions to perform. When
// ActionProcessor::StartProcessing() is called, it executes the first action.
// Each action tells the processor when it has completed, which causes the
// Processor to execute the next action. ActionProcessor may have a delegate
// (an object of type ActionProcessorDelegate). If it does, the delegate
// is called to be notified of events as they happen.
//
// ActionPipe classes
//
// See action_pipe.h
//
// ActionTraits
//
// We need to use an extra class ActionTraits. ActionTraits is a simple
// templated class that contains only two typedefs: OutputObjectType and
// InputObjectType. Each action class also has two typedefs of the same name
// that are of the same type. So, to get the input/output types of, e.g., the
// DownloadAction class, we look at the type of
// DownloadAction::InputObjectType.
//
// Each concrete Action class derives from Action<T>. This means that during
// template instantiation of Action<T>, T is declared but not defined, which
// means that T::InputObjectType (and OutputObjectType) is not defined.
// However, the traits class is constructed in such a way that it will be
// template instantiated first, so Action<T> *can* find the types it needs by
// consulting ActionTraits<T>::InputObjectType (and OutputObjectType).
// This is why the ActionTraits classes are needed.

// completed. However, it's acceptable for this method to perform the
// action synchronously; Action authors should understand the implications
// of synchronously performing, though, because this is a single-threaded
// app, the entire process will be blocked while the action performs.
//
// When the action is complete, it must call
// ActionProcessor::ActionComplete(this); to notify the processor that it's
// done.
