// SequenceChecker is a helper class used to help verify that some methods of a
// class are called sequentially (for thread-safety).
//
// Use the macros below instead of the SequenceChecker directly so that the
// unused member doesn't result in an extra byte (four when padded) per
// instance in production.
//
// This class is much prefered to ThreadChecker for thread-safety checks.
// ThreadChecker should only be used for classes that are truly thread-affine
// (use thread-local-storage or a third-party API that does).
//
// Usage:
//   class MyClass {
//    public:
//     MyClass() {
//       // It's sometimes useful to detach on construction for objects that are
//       // constructed in one place and forever after used from another
//       // sequence.
//       DETACH_FROM_SEQUENCE(my_sequence_checker_);
//     }
//
//     ~MyClass() {
//       // SequenceChecker doesn't automatically check it's destroyed on origin
//       // sequence for the same reason it's sometimes detached in the
//       // constructor. It's okay to destroy off sequence if the owner
//       // otherwise knows usage on the associated sequence is done. If you're
//       // not detaching in the constructor, you probably want to explicitly
//       // check in the destructor.
//       DCHECK_CALLED_ON_VALID_THREAD(my_thread_checker_);
//     }
//     void MyMethod() {
//       DCHECK_CALLED_ON_VALID_SEQUENCE(my_sequence_checker_);
//       ... (do stuff) ...
//     }
