//#include "cbdata.h"

// A call is asynchronous if the caller proceeds after the call is made,
// and the callee receives the call during the next main loop iteration.
// Asynchronous calls help avoid nasty call-me-when-I-call-you loops
// that humans often have trouble understanding or implementing correctly.

// Asynchronous calls are currently implemented via Squid events. The call
// event stores the pointer to the callback function and cbdata-protected
// callback data. To call a method of an object, the method is wrapped
// in a method-specific, static callback function and the pointer to the
// object is passed to the wrapper. For the method call to be safe, the 
// class must be cbdata-enabled.

// You do not have to use the macros below to make or receive asynchronous
// method calls, but they give you a uniform interface and handy call 
// debugging.

// See AsyncCall.cc for a usage sketch.


// Make an asynchronous object->callName() call.
#define AsyncCall(debugSection, debugLevel, objectPtr, callName) \
    scheduleAsyncCall((debugSection), (debugLevel), __FILE__, __LINE__, \
        (objectPtr), #callName, \
        &(callName ## Wrapper))

// Declare and define a wrapper for an asynchronous call handler method
#define AsyncCallWrapper(debugSection, debugLevel, ClassName, callName) \
static \
void callName ## Wrapper(void *data) { \
    ClassName *objectPtr = static_cast<ClassName*>(data); \
    if (enterAsyncCallWrapper((debugSection), (debugLevel), data, #ClassName, #callName)) { \
        objectPtr->callName(); \
        exitAsyncCallWrapper((debugSection), (debugLevel), data, #ClassName, #callName); \
    } \
}


// Hint: to customize debugging of asynchronous messages in a class, provide
// class method called scheduleAsyncCall, enterAsyncCallWrapper, and/or
// exitAsyncCallWrapper. Class method will take priority over these globals.
