// The ResultAggregator is used to aggregate the result of multiple
// asynchronous operations. To use: construct a ResultAggregator, and
// Bind its ReportResult methods to some Callbacks. The ResultAggregator
// can also be constructed with an EventDispatcher pointer and timeout delay if
// we want to wait for a limited period of time for asynchronous operations
// to complete.
//
// When the Callbacks are destroyed, they will drop their references
// to the ResultAggregator. When all references to the ResultAggregator are
// destroyed, or if a timeout occurs, the ResultAggregator will invoke
// |callback_|. |callback_| will only be invoked exactly once by whichever of
// these two events occurs first.
//
// |callback_| will see Error type of Success if all Callbacks reported
// Success to ResultAggregator. If the timeout occurs, |callback_| will see
// Error type of OperationTimeout. Otherwise, |callback_| will see the first of
// the Errors reported to ResultAggregator.
//
// Note: If no callbacks invoked ReportResult and the ResultAggregator is
// destructed (before timing out), the ResultAggregator will be destructed
// silently and will not invoke |callback_|. This can cause unexpected
// behavior if the user expects |callback_| to be invoked after the
// result_aggregator goes out of scope. For example:
//
// void Manager::Foo() {
// auto result_aggregator(make_scoped_refptr(new ResultAggregator(
// Bind(&Manager::Func, AsWeakPtr()), dispatcher_, 1000)));
// if (condition) {
// LOG(ERROR) << "Failed!"
// return;
// }
// ResultCallback aggregator_callback(
// Bind(&ResultAggregator::ReportResult, result_aggregator));
// devices_[0]->OnBeforeSuspend(aggregator_callback);
// }
//
// If |condition| is true and the function returns without passing the
// reference to |result_aggregator| to devices_[0], |result_aggregator| will
// be destructed upon returning from Manager::Foo and will never call
// Manager::Func(). This is problematic if the owner of |result_aggregator|
// expects Manager::Func to be called when |result_aggregator| goes out of
// scope.
//
// Another anomaly that can occur is it the ResultCallback that is being
// passed around is allowed to go out to scope without being run. If at least
// one object ran the ResultCallback, the ResultAggregator will invoke
// |callback_| upon going out of scope, even though there exists an object
// that was passed a ResultCallback but did not actually run it. This is
// incorrect behavior, as we assume that |callback_| will only be run if
// the ResultAggregator times out or if all objects that were passed the
// ResultCallback run it.
//
// In order to ensure that ResultAggregator behaves as it is meant to, follow
// these conventions when using it:
// 1) Always run any ResultCallback that is passed around before letting it
// go out of scope.
// 2) If the ResultAggregator will go out of scope without passing any
// ResultCallback objects (i.e. references to itself) to other objects,
// invoke the callback the ResultAggregator was constructed with directly
// before letting ResultAggregator go out of scope.
