// This file contains the core classes to access the Gecko scheduler. The
// scheduler forms a graph of prioritize tasks, and is responsible for ensuring
// the execution of tasks or their dependencies in order of inherited priority.
//
// The core class is the 'Task' class. The task class describes a single unit of
// work. Users scheduling work implement this class and are required to
// reimplement the 'Run' function in order to do work.
//
// The TaskManager class is reimplemented by users that require
// the ability to reprioritize or suspend tasks.
//
// The TaskController is responsible for scheduling the work itself. The AddTask
// function is used to schedule work. The ReprioritizeTask function may be used
// to change the priority of a task already in the task graph, without
// unscheduling it.

// The TaskManager is the baseclass used to atomically manage a large set of
// tasks. API users reimplementing TaskManager may reimplement a number of
// functions that they may use to indicate to the scheduler changes in the state
// for any tasks they manage. They may be used to reprioritize or suspend tasks
// under their control, and will also be notified before and after tasks under
// their control are executed. Their methods will only be called once per event
// loop turn, however they may still incur some performance overhead. In
// addition to this frequent reprioritizations may incur a significant
// performance overhead and are discouraged. A TaskManager may currently only be
// used to manage tasks that are bound to the Gecko Main Thread.
