public final class Futures extends GwtFuturesCatchingSpecialization {
// A note on memory visibility.
// Many of the utilities in this class (transform, withFallback, withTimeout, asList, combine)
// have two requirements that significantly complicate their design.
// 1. Cancellation should propagate from the returned future to the input future(s).
// 2. The returned futures shouldn't unnecessarily 'pin' their inputs after completion.
//
// A consequence of these requirements is that the delegate futures cannot be stored in
// final fields.
//
// For simplicity the rest of this description will discuss Futures.catching since it is the
// simplest instance, though very similar descriptions apply to many other classes in this file.
//
// In the constructor of AbstractCatchingFuture, the delegate future is assigned to a field
// 'inputFuture'. That field is non-final and non-volatile. There are 2 places where the
// 'inputFuture' field is read and where we will have to consider visibility of the write
// operation in the constructor.
//
// 1. In the listener that performs the callback. In this case it is fine since inputFuture is
// assigned prior to calling addListener, and addListener happens-before any invocation of the
// listener. Notably, this means that 'volatile' is unnecessary to make 'inputFuture' visible
// to the listener.
//
// 2. In done() where we may propagate cancellation to the input. In this case it is _not_ fine.
// There is currently nothing that enforces that the write to inputFuture in the constructor is
// visible to done(). This is because there is no happens before edge between the write and a
// (hypothetical) unsafe read by our caller. Note: adding 'volatile' does not fix this issue,
// it would just add an edge such that if done() observed non-null, then it would also
// definitely observe all earlier writes, but we still have no guarantee that done() would see
// the inital write (just stronger guarantees if it does).
//
// See: http://cs.oswego.edu/pipermail/concurrency-interest/2015-January/013800.html
// For a (long) discussion about this specific issue and the general futility of life.
//
// For the time being we are OK with the problem discussed above since it requires a caller to
// introduce a very specific kind of data-race. And given the other operations performed by these
// methods that involve volatile read/write operations, in practice there is no issue. Also, the
// way in such a visibility issue would surface is most likely as a failure of cancel() to
// propagate to the input. Cancellation propagation is fundamentally racy so this is fine.
//
// Future versions of the JMM may revise safe construction semantics in such a way that we can
// safely publish these objects and we won't need this whole discussion.
// TODO(user,lukes): consider adding volatile to all these fields since in current known JVMs
// that should resolve the issue. This comes at the cost of adding more write barriers to the
// implementations.

/**
* Returns a new {@code ListenableFuture} whose result is the product of calling {@code get()} on
* the {@code Future} nested within the given {@code Future}, effectively chaining the futures one
* after the other. Example:
*
* {@code
* SettableFuture> nested = SettableFuture.create();
* ListenableFuture dereferenced = dereference(nested);}
*
* Most users will not need this method. To create a {@code Future} that completes with the
* result of another {@code Future}, create a {@link SettableFuture}, and call {@link
* SettableFuture#setFuture setFuture(otherFuture)} on it.
*
*
{@code dereference} has the same cancellation and execution semantics as {@link
* #transformAsync(ListenableFuture, AsyncFunction)}, in that the returned {@code Future}
* attempts to keep its cancellation state in sync with both the input {@code Future} and the
* nested {@code Future}. The transformation is very lightweight and therefore takes place in
* the same thread (either the thread that called {@code dereference}, or the thread in which
* the dereferenced future completes).
*
* @param nested The nested future to transform.
* @return A future that holds result of the inner future.
* @since 13.0
