"""The pipeline_worker functions of the build and test stage of the framework.

Part of the Chrome build flags optimization.

This module defines the helper and the worker. If there are duplicate tasks, for
example t1 and t2, needs to be built/tested, one of them, for example t1, will
be built/tested and the helper waits for the result of t1 and set the results of
the other task, t2 here, to be the same as that of t1. Setting the result of t2
to be the same as t1 is referred to as resolving the result of t2.
The worker invokes the work method of the tasks that are not duplicate.
