1353030 - cleanup and document WrapRunnable uses

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Audio/Video: GMP, enhancement, P2)

Description

[Randell Jesup [:jesup] (PTO until 7/18 - needinfo me)]

Just documenting WrapRunnable(this, ...) uses; there's one in gmp that due to paranoia I want to wrap, though it's only used for force-crashing GMP instances.

I'd point out that the GeckoMediaPluginServiceParent singleton is kept alive by a static refptr that is only cleared in the final stage of shutdown after everything else is shutdown:

So while I think the refcount here is a good idea for future-proofing the code, I think it's unlikely it will actually prevent any problems.
