// ExecutionContextClient and ExecutionContextLifecycleObserver are helpers to
// associate an object with an ExecutionContext. It is unsafe to access an
// associated GC object, *including via GetExecutionContext()*, in the
// destructor of a GC object.
//
// To discourage incorrect usage, these objects both start returning null
// once the execution context shuts down. For a window, this occurs when
// the frame navigates to another window or is detached. For a worker global
// scope, this occurs when it shuts down.
//
// * If an object only needs to refer to a valid ExecutionContext but does not
//   need to stop or suspend any activity, it should be an
//   ExecutionContextClient.
// * If an object associated with an ExecutionContext has shutdown logic to
//   perform, such as halting activity or disconnecting from longer-lived
//   objects, it should be a ExecutionContextLifecycleObserver.
// * If an object additionally must suspend its activity during pause (see
//   execution_context_lifecycle_state_observer.h), it should be a
//   ExecutionContextLifecycleStateObserver (and thus, transitively, also a
//   ExecutionContextLifecycleObserver).
//
// If your object has activity which requires that it be kept alive, even if no
// other object has a reference to it, consider whether your object should also
// derive from ActiveScriptWrappable.

// ExecutionContextClient provides access to the associated execution context
// until it is shut down (e.g. for a window, at navigation or frame detach).
class CORE_EXPORT ExecutionContextClient : public GarbageCollectedMixin { … };

// ExecutionContextLifecycleObserver provides an additional ContextDestroyed()
// hook to execute cleanup code when a context is shut down (e.g. for a
// document, at navigation or frame detach -- not when its destructor runs).
//
// Execution context associated objects which have ongoing activity,
// registration with objects which outlive the context, or resources which
// should be promptly released, should consider deriving from
// ExecutionContextLifecycleObserver. As a rule of thumb: if the destructor
// contains non-trivial logic, that logic may belong in ContextDestroyed()
// instead.
//
// If there is ongoing activity associated with the object, consider whether it
// needs to be paused when execution is suspended (see
// ExecutionContextLifecycleStateObserver).
//
// If none of the above applies, prefer the simpler ExecutionContextClient.
