     41 // behalf of a RenderWidgetHost.  This class bridges between the IO thread
     42 // where the RenderProcessHost's MessageFilter lives and the UI thread where
     43 // the RenderWidgetHost lives.
     44 //
     45 //
     46 // OPTIMIZED RESIZE
     47 //
     48 //   RenderWidgetHelper is used to implement optimized resize.  When the
     49 //   RenderWidgetHost is resized, it sends a Resize message to its RenderWidget
     50 //   counterpart in the renderer process.  In response to the Resize message,
     51 //   the RenderWidget generates a new BackingStore and sends an UpdateRect
     52 //   message (or BuffersSwapped via the GPU process in the case of accelerated
     53 //   compositing), and it sets the IS_RESIZE_ACK flag in the UpdateRect message
     54 //   to true.  In the accelerated case, an UpdateRect is still sent from the
     55 //   renderer to the browser with acks and plugin moves even though the GPU
     56 //   BackingStore was sent earlier in the BuffersSwapped message. "BackingStore
     57 //   message" is used throughout this code and documentation to mean either a
     58 //   software UpdateRect or GPU BuffersSwapped message.
     59 //
     60 //   Back in the browser process, when the RenderProcessHost's MessageFilter
     61 //   sees an UpdateRect message (or when the GpuProcessHost sees a
     62 //   BuffersSwapped message), it directs it to the RenderWidgetHelper by calling
     63 //   the DidReceiveBackingStoreMsg method. That method stores the data for the
     64 //   message in a map, where it can be directly accessed by the RenderWidgetHost
     65 //   on the UI thread during a call to RenderWidgetHost's GetBackingStore
     66 //   method.
     67 //
     68 //   When the RenderWidgetHost's GetBackingStore method is called, it first
     69 //   checks to see if it is waiting for a resize ack.  If it is, then it calls
     70 //   the RenderWidgetHelper's WaitForBackingStoreMsg to check if there is
     71 //   already a resulting BackingStore message (or to wait a short amount of time
     72 //   for one to arrive).  The main goal of this mechanism is to short-cut the
     73 //   usual way in which IPC messages are proxied over to the UI thread via
     74 //   InvokeLater. This approach is necessary since window resize is followed up
     75 //   immediately by a request to repaint the window.
     76 //
     77 //
     78 // OPTIMIZED TAB SWITCHING
     79 //
     80 //   When a RenderWidgetHost is in a background tab, it is flagged as hidden.
     81 //   This causes the corresponding RenderWidget to stop sending BackingStore
     82 //   messages. The RenderWidgetHost also discards its backingstore when it is
     83 //   hidden, which helps free up memory.  As a result, when a RenderWidgetHost
     84 //   is restored, it can be momentarily be without a backingstore.  (Restoring
     85 //   a RenderWidgetHost results in a WasShown message being sent to the
     86 //   RenderWidget, which triggers a full BackingStore message.)  This can lead
     87 //   to an observed rendering glitch as the WebContentsImpl will just have to
     88 //   fill white overtop the RenderWidgetHost until the RenderWidgetHost
     89 //   receives a BackingStore message to refresh its backingstore.
     90 //
     91 //   To avoid this 'white flash', the RenderWidgetHost again makes use of the
     92 //   RenderWidgetHelper's WaitForBackingStoreMsg method.  When the
     93 //   RenderWidgetHost's GetBackingStore method is called, it will call
     94 //   WaitForBackingStoreMsg if it has no backingstore.
     95 //
     96 // TRANSPORT DIB CREATION
     97 //
     98 //   On some platforms (currently the Mac) the renderer cannot create transport
     99 //   DIBs because of sandbox limitations. Thus, it has to make synchronous IPCs
    100 //   to the browser for them. Since these requests are synchronous, they cannot
    101 //   terminate on the UI thread. Thus, in this case, this object performs the
    102 //   allocation and maintains the set of allocated transport DIBs which the
    103 //   renderers can refer to.
