// Stream is a base class that specific stream storage implementations must
// derive from to provide I/O facilities.
// The stream class provides general streaming I/O primitives to read, write and
// seek within a stream. It has methods for asynchronous (callback-based) as
// well as synchronous (both blocking and non-blocking) operations.
// The Stream class is abstract and cannot be created by itself.
// In order to construct a stream, you must use one of the derived classes'
// factory methods which return a stream smart pointer (StreamPtr):
//
//    StreamPtr input_stream = FileStream::Open(path, AccessMode::READ);
//    StreamPtr output_stream = MemoryStream::Create();
//    uint8_t buf[1000];
//    size_t read = 0;
//    while (input_stream->ReadBlocking(buf, sizeof(buf), &read, nullptr)) {
//      if (read == 0) break;
//      output_stream->WriteAllBlocking(buf, read, nullptr);
//    }
//
// NOTE ABOUT ASYNCHRONOUS OPERATIONS: Asynchronous I/O relies on a MessageLoop
// instance to be present on the current thread. Using Stream::ReadAsync(),
// Stream::WriteAsync() and similar will call MessageLoop::current() to access
// the current message loop and abort if there isn't one for the current thread.
// Also, only one outstanding asynchronous operation of particular kind (reading
// or writing) at a time is supported. Trying to call ReadAsync() while another
// asynchronous read operation is pending will fail with an error
// ("operation_not_supported").
//
// NOTE ABOUT READING FROM/WRITING TO STREAMS: In many cases underlying streams
// use buffered I/O. Using all read/write methods other than ReadAllAsync(),
// ReadAllBlocking(), WriteAllAsync(), WriteAllBlocking() will return
// immediately if there is any data available in the underlying buffer. That is,
// trying to read 1000 bytes while the internal buffer contains only 100 will
// return immediately with just those 100 bytes and no blocking or other I/O
// traffic will be incurred. This guarantee is important for efficient and
// correct implementation of duplex communication over pipes and sockets.
//
// NOTE TO IMPLEMENTERS: When creating new stream types, you must derive
// from this class and provide the implementation for its pure virtual methods.
// For operations that do not apply to your stream, make sure the corresponding
// methods return "false" and set the error to "operation_not_supported".
// You should use stream_utils::ErrorOperationNotSupported() for this. Also
// Make sure the stream capabilities functions like CanRead(), etc return
// correct values:
//
//    bool MyReadOnlyStream::CanRead() const { return true; }
//    bool MyReadOnlyStream::CanWrite() const { return false; }
//    bool MyReadOnlyStream::WriteBlocking(const void* buffer,
//                                         size_t size_to_write,
//                                         size_t* size_written,
//                                         ErrorPtr* error) {
//      return stream_utils::ErrorOperationNotSupported(error);
//    }
//
// The class should also provide a static factory methods to create/open
// a new stream:
//
//    static StreamPtr MyReadOnlyStream::Open(..., ErrorPtr* error) {
//      auto my_stream = std::make_unique<MyReadOnlyStream>(...);
//      if (!my_stream->Initialize(..., error))
//        my_stream.reset();
//      }
//      return my_stream;
//    }
