/**
* <code>PP_CompletionCallback</code> is a common mechanism for supporting
* potentially asynchronous calls in browser interfaces. Any method that takes a
* <code>PP_CompletionCallback</code> can be used in one of three different
* ways:
* - Required: The callback will always be invoked asynchronously on the
* thread where the associated PPB method was invoked. The method
* will always return PP_OK_COMPLETIONPENDING when a required
* callback, and the callback will be invoked later (barring
* system or thread shutdown; see PPB_MessageLoop for details).
* Required callbacks are the default.
* <br /><br />
* NOTE: If you use a required callback on a background thread,
* you must have created and attached a PPB_MessageLoop.
* Otherwise, the system can not run your callback on that thread,
* and will instead emit a log message and crash your plugin to
* make the problem more obvious.
*
* - Optional: The callback may be invoked asynchronously, or the PPB method
* may complete synchronously if it can do so without blocking.
* If the method will complete asynchronously, it will return
* PP_OK_COMPLETIONPENDING. Otherwise, it will complete
* synchronously and return an appropriate code (see below for
* more information on the return code). Optional callbacks are
* generally more difficult to use correctly than Required
* callbacks, but can provide better performance for some APIs
* (especially APIs with buffered reads, such as PPB_URLLoader or
* PPB_FileIO).
* <br /><br />
* NOTE: If you use an optional callback on a background thread,
* and you have not created and attached a PPB_MessageLoop, then
* the method you invoke will fail without running and return
* PP_ERROR_NO_MESSAGE_LOOP.
*
* - Blocking: In this case, the callback's function pointer is NULL, and the
* invoked method must complete synchronously. The method will
* run to completion and return an appropriate code when finished
* (see below for more information). Blocking completion
* callbacks are only supported on background threads.
* <br /><br />
* <code>PP_BlockUntilComplete()</code> provides a convenient way
* to specify blocking behavior. Refer to
* <code>PP_BlockUntilComplete</code> for more information.
*
* When the callback is run asynchronously, the result parameter passed to
* <code>func</code> is an int32_t that, if negative indicates an error code
* whose meaning is specific to the calling method (refer to
* <code>pp_error.h</code> for further information). A positive or 0 value is a
* return result indicating success whose meaning depends on the calling method
* (e.g. number of bytes read).
