Notification.cpp mStrings[i].mBehavior, not supported 73912
Notification.h Notifications on workers introduce some lifetime issues. The property we are trying to satisfy is: Whenever a task is dispatched to the main thread to operate on a Notification, the Notification should be addrefed on the worker thread and a feature should be added to observe the worker lifetime. This main thread owner should ensure it properly releases the reference to the Notification, additionally removing the feature if necessary. To enforce the correct addref and release, along with managing the feature, we introduce a NotificationRef. Only one object may ever own a NotificationRef, so UniquePtr<> is used throughout. The NotificationRef constructor calls AddRefObject(). When it is destroyed (on any thread) it releases the Notification on the correct thread. Code should only access the underlying Notification object when it can guarantee that it retains ownership of the NotificationRef while doing so. The one kink in this mechanism is that the worker feature may be Notify()ed if the worker stops running script, even if the Notification's corresponding UI is still visible to the user. We handle this case with the following steps: a) Close the notification. This is done by blocking the worker on the main thread. This ensures that there are no main thread holders when the worker resumes. This also deals with the case where Notify() runs on the worker before the observer has been created on the main thread. Even in such a situation, the CloseNotificationRunnable() will only run after the Show task that was previously queued. Since the show task is only queued once when the Notification is created, we can be sure that no new tasks will follow the Notify(). b) Ask the observer to let go of its NotificationRef's underlying Notification without proper cleanup since the feature will handle the release. This is only OK because every notification has only one associated observer. The NotificationRef itself is still owned by the observer and deleted by the UniquePtr, but it doesn't do anything since the underlying Notification is null. To unify code-paths, we use the same NotificationRef in the main thread implementation too. Note that the Notification's JS wrapper does it's standard AddRef()/Release() and is not affected by any of this. Since the worker event queue can have runnables that will dispatch events on the Notification, the NotificationRef destructor will first try to release the Notification by dispatching a normal runnable to the worker so that it is queued after any event runnables. If that dispatch fails, it means the worker is no longer running and queued WorkerRunnables will be canceled, so we dispatch a control runnable instead. 13361
