11 // The MessageRouter handles all incoming messages sent to it by routing them
12 // to the correct listener. Routing is based on the Message's routing ID.
13 // Since routing IDs are typically assigned asynchronously by the browser
14 // process, the MessageRouter has the notion of pending IDs for listeners that
15 // have not yet been assigned a routing ID.
16 //
17 // When a message arrives, the routing ID is used to index the set of routes to
18 // find a listener. If a listener is found, then the message is passed to it.
19 // Otherwise, the message is ignored if its routing ID is not equal to
20 // MSG_ROUTING_CONTROL.
21 //
22 // The MessageRouter supports the IPC::Message::Sender interface for outgoing
23 // messages, but does not define a meaningful implementation of it. The
24 // subclass of MessageRouter is intended to provide that if appropriate.
25 //
26 // The MessageRouter can be used as a concrete class provided its Send method
27 // is not called and it does not receive any control messages.
