/**
* Static utility methods pertaining to the {@link Future} interface.
*
* Many of these methods use the {@link ListenableFuture} API; consult the Guava User Guide
* article on {@code
* ListenableFuture} .
*
*
The main purpose of {@code ListenableFuture} is to help you chain together a graph of
* asynchronous operations. You can chain them together manually with calls to methods like {@link
* Futures#transform(ListenableFuture, Function, Executor) Futures.transform}, but you will often
* find it easier to use a framework. Frameworks automate the process, often adding features like
* monitoring, debugging, and cancellation. Examples of frameworks include:
*
*
*
* If you do chain your operations manually, you may want to use {@link FluentFuture}.

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.
