// Instantiated per RenderProcessHost to provide various optimizations on
// behalf of a RenderWidgetHost.  This class bridges between the IO thread
// where the RenderProcessHost's MessageFilter lives and the UI thread where
// the RenderWidgetHost lives.
//
//
// OPTIMIZED RESIZE
//
//   RenderWidgetHelper is used to implement optimized resize.  When the
//   RenderWidgetHost is resized, it sends a Resize message to its RenderWidget
//   counterpart in the renderer process.  In response to the Resize message,
//   the RenderWidget generates a new BackingStore and sends an UpdateRect
//   message (or BuffersSwapped via the GPU process in the case of accelerated
//   compositing), and it sets the IS_RESIZE_ACK flag in the UpdateRect message
//   to true.  In the accelerated case, an UpdateRect is still sent from the
//   renderer to the browser with acks and plugin moves even though the GPU
//   BackingStore was sent earlier in the BuffersSwapped message. "BackingStore
//   message" is used throughout this code and documentation to mean either a
//   software UpdateRect or GPU BuffersSwapped message.
//
//   Back in the browser process, when the RenderProcessHost's MessageFilter
//   sees an UpdateRect message (or when the GpuProcessHost sees a
//   BuffersSwapped message), it directs it to the RenderWidgetHelper by calling
//   the DidReceiveBackingStoreMsg method. That method stores the data for the
//   message in a map, where it can be directly accessed by the RenderWidgetHost
//   on the UI thread during a call to RenderWidgetHost's GetBackingStore
//   method.
//
//   When the RenderWidgetHost's GetBackingStore method is called, it first
//   checks to see if it is waiting for a resize ack.  If it is, then it calls
//   the RenderWidgetHelper's WaitForBackingStoreMsg to check if there is
//   already a resulting BackingStore message (or to wait a short amount of time
//   for one to arrive).  The main goal of this mechanism is to short-cut the
//   usual way in which IPC messages are proxied over to the UI thread via
//   InvokeLater. This approach is necessary since window resize is followed up
//   immediately by a request to repaint the window.
//
//
// OPTIMIZED TAB SWITCHING
//
//   When a RenderWidgetHost is in a background tab, it is flagged as hidden.
//   This causes the corresponding RenderWidget to stop sending BackingStore
//   messages. The RenderWidgetHost also discards its backingstore when it is
//   hidden, which helps free up memory.  As a result, when a RenderWidgetHost
//   is restored, it can be momentarily be without a backingstore.  (Restoring
//   a RenderWidgetHost results in a WasShown message being sent to the
//   RenderWidget, which triggers a full BackingStore message.)  This can lead
//   to an observed rendering glitch as the WebContentsImpl will just have to
//   fill white overtop the RenderWidgetHost until the RenderWidgetHost
//   receives a BackingStore message to refresh its backingstore.
//
//   To avoid this 'white flash', the RenderWidgetHost again makes use of the
//   RenderWidgetHelper's WaitForBackingStoreMsg method.  When the
//   RenderWidgetHost's GetBackingStore method is called, it will call
//   WaitForBackingStoreMsg if it has no backingstore.
//
// TRANSPORT DIB CREATION
//
//   On some platforms (currently the Mac) the renderer cannot create transport
//   DIBs because of sandbox limitations. Thus, it has to make synchronous IPCs
//   to the browser for them. Since these requests are synchronous, they cannot
//   terminate on the UI thread. Thus, in this case, this object performs the
//   allocation and maintains the set of allocated transport DIBs which the
//   renderers can refer to.
//
